Daft idea: Starfox mod
Any takers for this? Obviously we'd expand the Starfox universe and make a decent campaign, but modelling shouldn't be a problem as the Arwing is such a simplistic craft!

This was actually already suggested, but never got off the ground:D

Anyways, if you look at my "Campaigns..." thread, you'll see that a couple ships are better than just one. So you'll have to look real hard at the N64 game to check out the ships of the other squads (Like that dog-squad from the one mission where it was a rip-off of Independance Day)

Well, I've played the original Starfox, but never played the N64 version.

I think a few Starfox-ish releases should be a good start. :)

I think this idea came up some twelve billion times before...

Dunno, played the original only once, when I was a young'un, and the new one reeks of all sorts of furries creepiness.

 
Then lets do it with the textures of the super nintendo, :wtf:

jeje

Well, thinking now of a mod of starfox,  yeah sure,  the fighters are simple to make,   and there is not to many ships,  well,  maybe more,   but a general % of the games of N64 and SNES are like 60% inside a world,  and i think your not going to make a huge model makng a world scene,   and i heard someone talking of doing some cities that you can play in FS2 but since now,  no word of it.    Even the ships,  i mean some of the ships are more like fantasy or not realistic compared to FS2,   The only thing you could do is change the hole story,   go thru space and each boss is a massive capital ship,  and let say andross is some huge station,  like 6 time the size of a Arcadia Instalation or lets say that Andross is like an admiral,  like Bosch in a NTF Story,  but his forces and you fighting against them to eliminate the threat to corneria and General Pepper.You can do anything.
:p :p  :p

Or how about we forget about a campaign and just make the models? :doubt:

Ah, I've suggested this MOD here and on the old VBB. The point is to bring in the ships, not try to totally recreate the game. I'd love to help in any way I can, but I'm not much of a moddler, texturer, mission builder... ^^;;

BUT I can supply the model builders with pics of StarFox ships from the N64 game. All I have to do is scan them out of my guide. I could also help design missions, but not actually build them in FRED. My FREDding skills are medeocre at best.

Right, quite frankly **** S:AAB, I want a Starfox mod!

I love that game! Fox McCloud truly is the man (in as much as he's a fox... ahem)

I can't believe I actually have some enthusiasm for this! :D:D

Culando: PWEASE!!! I WANT SOME PICS OF THE SHIPS!!

I'll need them to model - and yes, I will be starting on the Arwing once I get some references. :)

What's your Starfox Ship wishlist?

And DON'T put the Arwing in, as it's going in anyway! :D:D

I'm after knowing what other ships you would like.

Also, anyone who can UV properly will be useful. I can make the models, but if you want nice Starfox textures, we need a UV mapper. :)

From the SNES, I want the Great Commander. That was the first time I ever took on a space warship on a single seat fighter, and I never looked back

 
Geezer, you said,

"Right, quite frankly **** S:AAB, I want a Starfox mod!"

And still you display SAAB in your sig? You should change it to something nintendo related then...
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide target selection !

Yeah, becuase those jump nodes and fighters that can pull high-G vector changes without pulping the pilots and slower-than-light-laser weapons are soooooooooooo  realistic.

Excellent...excellent. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Hey, if we can get enough force behind this, who knows. Maybe we can bother the bigwigs to get us avatars. X)

I'll get the pics scanned ASAP, but I'll be a bit busy today and tonight, but I'll try to at the VERY least get the Arwing. I'll try some other ships too if I have the time. Otherwise you'll have to wait until tomorrow.

And Delta, I beleive I've got pics of all of those ships from the N64 game. I'll have to double check though.

Okay. :)

BTW - for those who care, I've done a VERY basic Arwing model entirely from a VERY hazy memory.....it's sort of correct I THINK......but I dunno.....it's mainly a test of my modelling skill, cuz I start EVERY ship from just a cube, and make the entire hull from that.

Like Bob said: Make it from one subobject!

Cul, can you get nice pics of all the ships on delta_7890's wish list? I think it's a good one to go on for the moment. :)

I'll be working some more on the Arwing later (no LODs or Debris though - don't want to put too much effort into something which will end up on the trash heap at the end of the day!) and I may just let some people who ask VERY nicely play with it! :D:D

I'll help where I can with the models. I LOVE STAR FOX! It's my main insperation. Along with Star Wars and a few other Sci-Fi's. Even though I've never owned a N64 or for that matter a SNES.

I have big plans, now if only I could see them through.

If you can find it, try getting the offical player's guide for Starfox 64.  There are plenty of ships pictures inside.  Enough at least to get a basic model done.  As for the SNES ships...well...I just hope you have the game.  ^^;;

There's no excuse for not owning both a SNES and a copy of Starfox. Those that don't should really write a letter of apology to Shigsy...
