I've recorded a few mission briefs and some general battle comms BUT tell you the truth the pickings are slim. most of the time the background distorts the sound too much (keep in mind you need to remember whatever FS2 sounds might also be playing when they are used (like YOUR engine).... So although there is some stuff it is not as many vocals as I would have hoped for.. Plus they only made 24 episodes and I am missing like 5 of them...

  Cool news I got some of Sgt Bogus's more endearing quotes like the Grab Ass speech and an awesome failed mission speech when he yells at Hawks "You're DEAD! The whole team is DEAD and it's YOUR fault!"

  Yeah I got Wang's interpretation of McQueen as a Plummer... Wonder how we'll work that in to the mission brief???

[diamondgeezer]

Ah, but, it won't be McQueen giving the briefings. Look at this and try and understand why

Textures need darkened, and a lot of work done on the shading though.  No turrets yet, not found any decent info on 'em.  Not got any info on the underside rear bit, either.

If you can wait till my Easter break (Monday after next), I can finish this proper.

I`ve had a thought about the hammerheads. You can`t really have the moving turrets on the player ship (unless you make the computer control it) but will you be doing it so that the computer controlled ships have their guns on turrets?

Oh. As per usual that's a thing of beauty Aldo.

I belive the intention was that... although, when I was looking for art, I found a few pictures that seemed to show guns mounted on the wings.  Need to make the turrets seperate (on my model) for polycount reasons, anyways.  If there's a SEXP in the source code (or summat) that allows turrets to be turned on / off alal beam-lock, could use that.

You can turn turrets on or off from FRED without any need for SCP just use the turret-lock SEXP

I was actually thinking along the lines of two seperate pofs. One with gunspoints and another with turrets. S:AAB is pretty ship poor so you`ve got tonnes of space on the ships table after all.

That said you could do it by having the computer controlled ships fire their turrets and giving them no primaries while having the player have primaries but locking the turret.

I was planning on just fixing the nose turret. Seems like the most sensible thing to do. Also, I made the spine turret solid rather than multi-part, as I figured no-one was really going to see the thing close enough to tell the diference  

[Star Dragon]

So are you "across the pond" or "down under"?

[diamondgeezer]

Note also the carrier I posted somewhere - it had 'HMS Illustrious' plastered down the side of it

If by down under, you're asking if he's Australian, I am going to find you and attack you with large, formerly pointy, if now somehat rusted, objects. Our Flag is different, or navy has a different name, We are no more an English colony than America is except in name and technicality.

Odd. Never before have I felt such an urge to end a post with a mindless, one word insult.

Wow I had read those like 2 years ago but forgot most of them.. Read them again, still horrible! Nope, I really can't see McQueen as anything other than a chig killing machine

  "Terras Cassius" T.C. McQueen...  C/S - (Queen's Six)

[diamondgeezer]

Close - Tyrus Cassius McQueen, callsign Queen Six.

[Star Dragon]

Just re-watched loyalty test episode. I stand corrected DG!

[diamondgeezer]

If this was the Corps I'd have you on spud peeling duty for a month for that mistake

Oh, and

Good thinking...I would have done the same myself.  I just don't have the time to commit to this project but let me say that I really want to play it when you've got it going and that I hope you can at the very least make a quality MOD with the best looking textures and the best balance between gameplay and visual detail from the show.

Babylon 5 is my thing and making MODs for either I think requies a very similar approach.

My hats off to you!  Good lucK!

[Mr Carrot]

Stop making mods for b5 and work on BWO damnit man!

Oh hell no, I can't do that. No-one volunteered to look after the models and textures, so here I am doing them myself and they look rubbish because the intersecting polys are flickering all over the placeand the maps are produced in MS Paint. Basically, the plan is to get most everything up and running so I've got stuff to work with, then once I have something I concrete I'll bribe a modeller and/or texturer to redo everything properly. We keep telling the n00bs to get some content before recruiting, right?

Thanks for the encouragement, though. Semper Fi
