Yes, I now this is one of the most annoying questions you can get but I have to ask anyway. :p What's the status of the mod? Does the mod have a site? Also, are you making names for each class of warship from homeworld (like orion class destroyer)?
-
Hey,
Things are moving slowly, we will have a little bit of progress again soon due to holidays but alot of us have full time commitments in RL so it is difficult.
Names yes. Fiction wise, TAP is very, very strong.
We have a site yes, but it desperately needs an update. Something I hope to do quite soon. :)
-
Can you show at least one screen? Or a model? :nervous:
Do you plan to add more ships? The Hiigarans just have one fighter, do you plan to add another?
Thanks anyway and keep up the work.

You know, this project really needs get going on... It would be a great chance from those missile swarm duels the FS campaings are about. And flying around in HW universe would be quite kickass, I reckon... And by the very small amount of PR you have done, I think this project is most promising (but I can't be sure since there isn't really much to look at).
So give those "things" that are moving slowly some booze or viagra or whatever, to get them move a bit faster. Yes? :nod:
BTW. What really is the status of the mod? Is it...
A) I have a dream
B) Got things rolling
C) We have lots of "stuff"
D) We might have something out soon, I think
E) Yup, it'll be out by this time tomorrow
-
its between C and D, balancing more towards D. waaastly more towards D.
-
You forgot F:) Perpetually "Almost There... just need a few more x and a bit of x"
-
hey, screw you, if you want it done vastly faster, drop in a few thousand bucks, and we'll get back to work.
After we've drank all that money under the table at a TAP member meeting :nervous:
:p
-
Does somebody have a link to the site? Also you're making a campaign with how many missions?
-
Site: http://tap.hard-light.net/
The site is way out of date.
Its good to see people are still interested in TAP. Helps bring alive the old inspiration. :)
The reason we are moving so slow is because we have a small team, and each team member has alot of stuff going on in RL. I myself used to have heaps of time for mods. Now days though I barely have time to breath let alone time for a hobby like this one. :(
We have very big plans for the fiction of TAP. I may go ahead and say that we do have plans for some short stories, character biographys, ship descriptions, etc. This is where alot of the hard work has gone into.
Asset wise, originally alot of the stuff was simply ported over and slapped together in FS2. Good for prototyping and testing stuff etc. But for release material its not all that good because there were many bugs, model errors, texture problems, etc. So now we are trying to build up the assets proper by fixing / building new models, upgrading the texture quality of some of the ships ten fold, etc. There is a lot of work involved, and with a small team with little free time, its the bottle neck from hell.
We are so very close, we just need the manpower and / or the time. We'll get it out in the end, and hopefully it will be one of the better quality and fun mods for Freespace2. :)
Ed: We'll release more details about our first release soon, hopefully with a wave of some fiction and an update to the site. ;)
-
Well, I think I can help writing some fiction, if you want.
-
dont worry, our fiction batallions are the strongest of all. what we need is a dedicated texture man.
-
Sorry but I dont know anything like that. :sigh:
-
As well as model makers and pof'ers.
