Aardwolf was making a FS Turn-based Strategy. I have the latest working release he got out before the project died... somewhere.

You could only use Terran ships and there was no animation, but it was still kinda fun for a game or two.

:wtf: I can't understand what you're saying.

I have EAW and Forces of Corruption. That plus FS and Stronghold are the only games I play.

I might try to port the FS universe (The space side only) to EAW.

Re: Has anyone ever modded an RTS game to use FS ships?
ya..... it'll have to be for normal EAW. most people dont even have normal EAW, especially FoC. and i wanna play it.

i meant you have to make the ships and put them IN GAME to get the cookies.

Re: Has anyone ever modded an RTS game to use FS ships?
Why Normal? A lot more people than you'd think have FoC. And it would be possible to use all three races with FoC. (It is possible otherwise, but extremely hard)

EDIT: IF I do happen to undertake it, it won't be for a while as EAW kills this computer so bad that it starts coming up with errors. Or does it do that with any computer?

Re: Has anyone ever modded an RTS game to use FS ships?
You should make for Normal.I lost a FOC CD, and you can just merge Vasudans with Terrans, and call it GTVA.
Use the HTL Lucifer for it? ;)

Re: Has anyone ever modded an RTS game to use FS ships?
Would it be hard to convert the .POFs to .MAX? Would I need to use the base models or could I just convert them? What I mean is, would the weapon etc data in the .POFs mess it up?

Re: Has anyone ever modded an RTS game to use FS ships?
I'm already working on a FS -> EaW mod  :)
I just need someone with model knowledge to help convert them over, then I can start the coding work  :nervous:
Btw, RTS = Real Time Stratergy, so a turn based game is not included  :ick:
And FSNA (HW2 FS mod) is going well, so it's worth a play (I'm not promoting mods im working with much  :drevil:)

Re: Has anyone ever modded an RTS game to use FS ships?
I have EAW with FoC, and I would be simply overjoyed for a Freespace 2 version, by the way, what mods are there for EAW or FoC and how do i get them.

 :confused: But... for a freespace EAW would u remove the land portion or make up land units?

Re: Has anyone ever modded an RTS game to use FS ships?
I had an idea for the units...Make Vasudans, with no gun,
Then make them to be able to have different weapons.
Same with Terrans, but no "no gun"
Shivans, uhh..............

The Stargate Mod is good and so is z3r0x's Mod, get them here. If it was me I would remove the land portion. If anyone wants to see this happen feel free to donate me a PC that is not 6 years old so that it won't crash and burn after installing EAW.

Re: Has anyone ever modded an RTS game to use FS ships?
There's a Freespace mod for some star trek game , where the GTVA and shivans easily defeat the original sides from the game .

Maybe someone can make a Freespace game for mobile phones ?  :D ( I'm serious about that though  :nod: )

Maybe land units for Terrans and vasudans, but shivans, i think they would just bomb a planet to hell, so maybe 1 unit for them to spot for the lusifer to bombard the planet from space (FoC allows space bombardments  :drevil:)

Re: Has anyone ever modded an RTS game to use FS ships?
Have a Vasuda evacuation mission where the Lucifer is bombarding the area. You have to get Vasudans to transports and build fighters to fend off the Shivans. On that note, did that Vasudan model from a while ago ever get off the ground?
