Ahoy folks. I've been absent for a good year or two now from the forums, and from the modding scene in general. The realities of a professional career and such, have weighed heavily on me. However, the upside to designing battlefield computer systems is that the job pays well.

So here I am. I really want to get the EOTP mod moving. I'm not asking for free help; I'm willing to pay, and pay well, for all services provided. You can eaither recieve cash (via paypal), or I'll make a donation to the upkeep of the servers here on your behalf. The choice is yours.

What I need -

Ships added to Freespace 2. I can handle fredding and such, but I can't insert the ships.

I already have the art though I know it will require some tweaking so someone who is at least a passible artist is needed. Idealy, someone who can do the entire turnkey process.

My email is [email protected]; email me if your intrested, and we'll talk $$$.

What do you mean by "insert the ships"?  Just tabling, or full model conversion?

[Unknown Target]

Some details would be nice. Still, sent you an email

[Yoseph]

I apologize for not making that completely clear.

As I've said in a couple of replies to email so far - I have a bunch of models in 3DSMAX 6-9 format, that need to be inserted into FS2. I'll need a couple of brand new ships (Like maybe 4-6 fighters/bombers, and one or two capital ships, tops); but I believe that of ships will require some tweaking - there's geometry errors in them as the guy that did them wasn't all that experienced. This is why I'm looking for an artist that can do an entire turnkey solution; art work, and putting the ship into FS2.

I hope this clears up any confusion!

WOW, a new TC.

I hope this project will continue. I wish you the best.

Funny how this universe seems attractive. Ever heard of the renegade legion? yours is giving me the same jolt.
I hope it'll be finished.

P.S: I wish I could MOD. I could use dollard  do you need anything else perhaps (campaign planning, etc...)?

[Yoseph]

EOTP doesn't use anything from FS universe I'm afraid (though I do love the FS universe. Its in the top 5 of the best stories with a game, IMHO).

I'm going to need beta testing, voice overs (lots of voice overs), some 2D art. that kind of stuff.

In terms of voice acting though I am going to be very aggressive in getting GOOD talent. No guy in a basement that sounds like John Q ubergeek on a mike. I might even go to a local talent agency if I can't get great talent on-line.

I'm really serious about making this a reality.

I can't pay for everything (beta testing specifically), but I realize that people who are good enough to do art and add ships in, have many time constraints, many might even work for game companies, or have college full time, and I know from experience if your just doing something as a favor, its at the end of your priorities list. if your paid, its not. I simply feel the mod has a much greater chance of getting done. That, and I know I'm a good FREDer. I've already done some demo missions for the campaign using existing ships as placeholders that got of nice reviews from folks I know that I passed them to.

Hey, I'm even going for new music on this thing.

Like I said, I'm serious. I've been trying to get some support for years on this, I realize its got all kinds of marks against it because of the original theme. I see campaigns and mods pop up, have some really great ideas, and never get anywhere because everyone gets busy. So i feel the best way to get some support is to pay for it.

I'm hopeful this will work.

[starlord]

Well in that case, I wish you the best of luck.

[Colonol Dekker]

Very doable in FS......

[starlord]

Hmm! I'm looking forward to this!!!!

Should you need voice actors, I would give a shot (even for free, as the fact of making this TC is thanks enough already). However, I have no idea what hardware to use for this thing.

[Colonol Dekker]

For free?
Ohhh. . . . He's offering US the dosh.
*scrambles to dig out truespace 5*

[Titan]

Um, they'res lots of stuff that you can use. and its all free, and working ingame. all you need to do is find out how to convert them.

[starlord]

Any news with this one? I really hope it'll come out!

[Getter Robo G]

I converted two of his fighters and got the cap ship in game, but the turret thing screwed me up, so I basically hit the wall back then... I wonder if he still has the old screenies I made and then deleted?

My skills in that area have not improved (just tweaking/reskining by cheating, has though)

[starlord]

His thing looks just great: it seems he created the series.
is he getting any help on HLP? With the offer he made it shouldn't be too difficult.

[WMCoolmon]

Hmm, an original universe TC for FS2_Open. I like this idea. My only concern is how you're going to recoup the money - it looks like there's a TV series planned. I'm not sure how far the license :V: put on the code covers.
