Title: Finally! Someone did it! =D
Post by: Culando on March 15, 2002, 11:26:38 pm
I planned on doing this AGES ago, but i was way too lazy to ever really get started on it. ^^;

It was so awesome playing all the old missions with the new graphics! :)

I just got a couple of questions.

1.) Is there a way to get the voices from the old game in the port? (If this was mentioned somewhere I'm sorry. I haven't been to the FS community in months! ^^; )

2.) Is there a way to get the old CB animations to work?

3.) When are you converting Awakenings!!!! (I think that's the name of it. ^^; )

1 and 2 are mentioned probably on the website, I don't know though.

3 I've seen a website for the awakenings conversion, but I don't know how it's been going.

Culando! So it was you who had planned to do this... ;)

Well, GE got it done. And impressively quickly, too... :D

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on there. Are you just messin' with me or did you actually remember?

Anyway, maybe I can convert Awakenings myself. I've never been good with backgrounds, but I can at least get the rest of the stuff working. =)

:D

Yeah, I got this done in about eight months total, from conception to release. Mainly because there weren't any new models to do, and no FREDding. Just patience, really.

Several missions in Awakenings were included on the ST CD. I'm looking forward to see a resurgance of all the classic FS1 campaigns.

Backgrounds: I'm no good at matching nebulae bitmaps either. Just copy them (in notepad) from other missions. :p

CBanims and voices are mentioned briefly on the site. One of these days I will post more conversion information.

That's okay, but it will be a pain in the rearend doing all the hi-res graphics. Besides, I don't think I'll be doing too much interface modding besides what I have already, thanks.
If you're doing it for AP, by all means, go ahead. :wink:

I'm hoping to stick around, I'm started to get addicted to Freespace again. :D

I don't know how much work I'll be able to do on projects though. Between college, my art projects and my comics, I may not get in much time. =/

But, if I can find someone to help me with FREDding my campaign, I might get to work on it. =)

   I'd be willing to give it a go just for the experience. I finally got the SDF-1 to fire the main gun NEAR Khyrons ship without killing it so it can ram them to death for my last macross mission (E17 Khyron's Revenge)... Hehe I had to make a scout ship warp in , designated Unknown, play dead, and make SDF-1 target it to simulate the beam just skimming the cruiser... Cheesy but it works though, especially in the atmosphere.  VICTORY!

Sure, just go to the link to my page. It's the "WWW" button at the bottom of my post. Click on the "Chaos Quest" button once you get there. It's a Sonic the Hedgehog based sprite comic featuring my characters and the characters of my friends. I've also got a Megaman comic in the works.

And thanks Star Dragon. Maybe tomorrow, I'll get some ideas together so I can start developing missions.
