Finally, those ARE hexagonal halls, tey are not just the kind of hexagones you wanted. But they do have 8 sides.

Um right
hexagonal is 6-sided, I think.

Anyway, there are more than enough possibilities to have different enemies. Just look at aldo's post. I mean, in every generic WWII type game you have pretty much the same type of enemy throughout the whole game. I think if you offer enoguh of variety for the existing enemies (different skins, factions etc.), everybody will be fine.

Octagon is the 8 sided one, BTW.......

Whom will you fight? Shivans? Wow..a LOT of diversity there..one type of enemy for the whole mod...

If you ask me, it might be better to place the mod in your own FS2 like universe, where you can design a lot of enemyies and weapons..

The main story takes place during the NTF rebellion..... though you'll have to wait and see if you get to combat any Shivans.

[Grimloq]

Oooo, fun ^^ I can't wait!

*Is slightly disappointed it wasn't an FS2->H:LoI mod*

[TopAce]

Anyway, is it not spelt as 'Haegemonia' by any chance?

[Unknown Target]

That's the European spelling for it

[Fade Rathnik]

didn't some one try and make a FPS mod for the geo-mod engine? what ever happened to that did it die like Red faction did?

[aldo_14]

That was the RF mod.  So yes, it's dead.

The architecture and textures seem rather like a generic UT mod (since it's using the defaults) so far, as opposed to being based off of the FS cutscenes.

Also, 'Hegemonia' is the name of a game, so it will make people think this is a mod for that.

FreeSpace: Hegemony would be a good title though.

The idea of this being set during the NTF rebellion is a good one.

What i can advance for now, is that you´ll fight the NTF for sure, perhaps the shivans, and who knows if the HOL makes an entrance aswell.
You´ll get to fight first person as any FPS, fly ships as any space-sim, manning turrets to fend off attacks, drive a couple of vehicles, and engage in a major planet surface ground battle.
The rest, as they say, is history.

Wich is easelly explained. We only started working like a month ago, and we still don´t have a texture man. Hence the default textures.
I want to use FS textures as much as the next guy, but where do i get them?
Untill someone volunteers to help make them, this is what we have.

Also, posting these shots has thought me one thing:
Never to post any shots, EVER AGAIN!! Because people always judge them as the final print. So, no more shots for you! You want to see, then join!

You want me to use exterior hull textures for interior levels??
Yeah right...

[Solatar]

I'm sure one or two textures could be used as internal textures, but for the most part lo-res armor will look like poop on a hallway...

[Taristin]

Not unless you want it to look like the vasudan main hall...

[FireCrack]

What positions do you guys need?

V did reuse a few of them, especially the FS1 ones in the cutscenes. Mostly for floor panneling and stuff.

[Mefustae]

Or you could use the External Hull textures on the Exturnal Hull of a given ship that you're fighting inside. You could have Windows showing the outside of a ship, like a window just above the Hanger of an Orion Destroyer, i think everyone here would love to look out a window over the 'runway' and see the nameplate "Bastion" flanking it...

[Cobra]

yeah, wouldn't that be cool?

nice levels, guys.

The Bosch monologues reuse the textures for the interior of the Iceni; it's just that the lighting and overlaid geometry (the desk, pipes, etc) make it not immediately obvious.

I think it was the other way around. FS re-used some textures from BM. The diference being in resolution. IMO, the cutscenes used a higher res texture maps, that don´t look half as bad as how it would if you use the .vp extracted textures. I know, i tried them.
They look like they were washed with bleech, and placed on a spin dryer for the best part of the year.
Trust me guys, you don´t want me to use them. Let´s just remember the simple fact that FS textures are 6 years old, not fitted to work on an FPS level. In FS, you stand at a good distance  from the hulls of ships, to notice those small imperfections. But on a FPS, you are right on top of them, and any imperfection gets multiplied ten fold.
However, if a texture artist should arise, we could use re-worked FS textures, with higher res, bump-mapping, and all the stuff we now take for granted.
