I think what we shall need to decide is what specs to actually have for the Arwing.

Number of guns (and position)
Number of missile banks (and position)
Hitpoints (hull and shield)
Shield Colour
Speed
Agility

Etc....

How about this for a thought we could have the standerd Awing be the one from SNES, and then the N64 Arwing as the second one and we could also have a nother with the two other guns under the wings that would only be for Aces. would this work? We could also keep the other good dude ships and make some new ones but please no Flak

Said model would be useless for texturing though as it's not textured in any style I remember from the games.

You'd have a pretty bad memory if you'd forget that the original Starfox was flat-shaded, not textured in any way (except the background, which was a still-image for each level

Some of the StarFox 64 ships could be really cool in FS I think (with size adjustment of course).  The Area 6 capships were some of my favorites, and the ships in Sector Y would make decent utilitarian-style workhorse fleets.  As for a dedicated StarFox mod, the FS engine is definately the wrong one, as most of SF's playability had to do with the levels, not the ships.

True, true.

One thing we'd have to do is make up stuff since some of the levels happened on a planet (which FS can't do yet). We'd have to focus on more of the space part. Or just make up a new story!
I have big plans, now if only I could see them through.

Well, we'd still have to have Andross attempting to take over the place. :)

But there's a new Starfox game coming out for the GC, anyway...surely all the big Ninty fans can get their fix that way?  I intend to...maybe (Rares sale has sort of cast me doubt on getting a GC - I was really wanting to see Perfect Dark)

OT for a moment: WHY does EVERYONE think that just because Rare is 'jumping ship' from Ninty, that the GC has nothing going for it? I mean, FOR GOODNESS' SAKE! There is more to Nintendo gaming than just RARE for crying out loud!

And yes, there are two Starfox games for the GC - one is SFA, and the other is being developed by Namco as a space combat game.

A little N64 Arwing info I got from examining an Arwing trophy in Super Smash Brothers Melee:

1. The N64 Arwing has two stablizer pods (or whatever) on each wing. The strut that holds the lower pods is where the twin lasers fire from.

2. The single laser, nova bombs, and the charge up laser all fire from beneath the nose.

SSBM would be a good source of info for a Star Fox mod because there are trophys for the Arwing, Landmaster tank, Great Fox, The Star Wolf ship, Andross, (both SNES and N64 versions) and probably the Blue Marine that can be examined up close and personal. :) (Man the N64 Arwing looks really different then the one I made. Forgot just how much they changed it.)

Starfox was one of th eBest games on N64. So many cool ships everywhere. The ID4 level with Bills ships, the bad guys, The Area 6 ships as mentioned above.

 if you play it some, and pay attention, you might be able to pull out some good modeling ideas.

About the Gamecube game, i tihnk that is totally dumb for starfox.. i've only played it at best buy, but it has the Banjo Kazooie feel to it.. not kool, not starfox. If they wanted to do a StarFox shooter, they shoulda, well for one, given him a gun. And two, made it not with that Story.

ohwell, another reason to be proud that i don't have GC i spose'

I could lay into you about 'being proud about not having a GC' but I won't. And for your information, there is a Starfox game being developed by Namco for the Cube as we speak. And it's not like SFA - it's gonna be space combat.

Details are VERY sketchy - and no screenshots are out. But Ninty and Namco are working on it. :) It's just that Ninty is being uber-silent about anything for the Gamecube post-Q2 next year....

That's probably a good thing...  Keeps fans from getting hyped up about products that will not necessarily deliver.

And besides, can anyone remember a good Nintendo game that actually came out ON TIME?

And besides, Namco is developing the new Starfox game - and since when have THEY been on time? :D

BTW - a few more modellers, and a UV mapper are needed for the mod. :)

Argh! They already said they weren't talking about the adventure game (which is indeed out already), but rather about a game slated for next year which is more of a return to the roots of starfox
