no, he wants to use bobboau's vasudan model as debris.

[Goober5000]

Actually I was thinking of the Vasudans and the Shivan hybrids.  Because it's theoretically possible to turn the SCP into a first-person shooter as it currently stands.

[Grey Wolf]

Really? I'd think adding gravity and all would take some effort.

EDIT: Time warp. This post goes after Goober's.

The "as it stands" version would be extremely hackish, but it would work.  Gravity would certainly require considerable effort, and it would benefit the FPS immensely, but it is not strictly required.

[Grey Wolf]

Well, I suppose you could set it in a derelict ship which has lost internal gravity.

[Ghost]

If I recall correctly, a dude was making a Doom 3 FS mod. He never did anything with it... Anyway, I sure as hell would play it. **** you, Vasudans!

That's not what I mean.  It would be a strictly 2D FPS.  You'd see it from a FPS perspective, in 3D, but nothing would be able to move vertically or bank.

UNREAL ENGINE 3 - GET IT TODAY!

idly curious, how would one model a shivan moving, afaik, only V did that with Hallfight, but that was more leaping than actual walking.

Bobboau's submodel animation, of course. It'd take a heck of a lot of work to figure out the table entry, though.

it'd be interesting to see if one could get actual FPS'in introduced into the SCP, such as the general movement in first person shooters..

altho, the idea posted before gives me an idea for "on rails" levels, like turret fighting and the like... or a rather neat sequence of a ship going through the launch routine whilst the destroyer is under heavy attack....

[Ford Prefect]

I, for one, am wating for the Freespace MMORPG.

[Grey Wolf]

Get to work on that, then.

EDIT: Time warp. This was directed at Ford Prefect.

Hey guys... You might want to check out the ~+O cheat. It turns it into regular old Descent physics, which works more like a person walking. That might be a decent basis for walking around.

[LOA--Paul]

If this get's going, please keep us constantly updated.  I have been wishing for this for such a long time.  I've always wanted to play as a GTVA Marine or such things like that

[Swamp_Thing]

Actually, i´ve been working this idea around for a while. I have some plotline and mission sketching done already. I´m starting experimenting with level design now. Time to dig up my old stuff.
I started cooking the idea when i began making a 3D Galatea´s hallway. I thought "why settle for just a hallway?" Why not make a full FPS mod of it?
Using the :V: engine is pretty much out of the  question, though. It runs well on space fighting, but to make it work FPS would take way too much code fiddling. And level design would be a major pain. I don´t think you can make it using FRED.

[WMCoolmon]

Unless someone with the necessary knowledge is willing to work on it (read: Bobb) you'd be far better off into looking into modding some other FPS...there are plenty to go around. HL2, of course, possibly the T2 engine if it's still being licensed out.

Why not? The Maras move vertically.

[WMCoolmon]

Moving vertically would involve adding gravity.

[Ghost]

Oh..yeah.. good point, WM. Anyway, is anyone going to definitely start working on this for some engine or other?

EDIT: Oh crapshakes! You guys remember that star wars game that really wasn't too good? Battlegrounds or something? That was an FPS where you could fly as well... Mod that, perhaps?
