Better hide the fishies, Im making an under water mod, this is mostly supported by FRED2ers, Im making this myself(with a little help from Venom for the terrain model   )so Im not asking for staff and Iv alredy made a few effects for it like water bubbles and stuff floating around, I'll fix the whole explosion concept and shockwave appeal, but unfortantly Im olny going to put realistic weapons and stuff, so that means no shields, but it pays off since you get a minigun that fires very rapidly and you can hardly see them since they are flying around so fast and far, also you'll have other weapons that they use under water
Well Im tired

How you gonna get bubles rising from a torpedo trail???

[Setekh]

If we can get an ani on the trail of the missile (possible, but tricky), then all we need to do is create an ani of a bubble rising and disappearing, somewhat like the damage gas ani.

No shields, realistic weaponry, and...


miniguns?

Now where have I heard of a MOD like this one before... hmmmmm...   (the picture above just doesn't do justice to the sound that a 30 round per second cannon makes   )

Seriously, the underwater aspect sounds like an interesting twist on things.  One question, how are you going to do the "ceiling" of your water world?  Subs generally don't fly through the air after all    Is this going to have an X-COM 2 theme to it?  I can't say I've ever heard of anyone else doing such a conversion.  Might be kind of cool.

------------------
I told you that It would be done by November, well, mostly anyway...

hey! you didn't tell me it was underwater mod! i'm definitively with yo on that! (I had a similar idea, but hey, I can't do everything can I?)
For buble trails: change the particle effect, and give all your weapons the spawn particle effects  

[IceFire]

Nifty!  I assume that means using the nebula?

You could probably give it a really neat underwater look by giving a top and bottom to the background bitmap.  Sandbar on the bottom, looking at the suface on the top.

nope: the nebula tiles are rotating on themselve. but you can make the tile nice enough o have that underwater blur effect I suppose.

Does someone have Archimedean Dynasty? the maps would be handfull.

New ships?

[Anduril]

Hey, I like it! I've always thought that FS felt more like flying underwater than in space.  

[WarpStar]

Hey, this sounds like a good plan.  I'll be waiting with drool

If I can figure out how to use the LW modeler

I loved that game (the underwater one) it had cool music 4 subs and underwater turrets! (torpedo turrets are so horrible)

Ha the FAT MOMMA thing HA!
I used the green weapon!

My CD is scrathed! Where do they come from???

[NeoHunter]

Actually, I think this MOD should be quite interesting. But without shields and the introduction of miniguns designed for underwater usage, mini submarines or one man submarines are going to die very fast.

  Beleive me Neo, no shields, mini-guns and one-hit-one-kill missiles makes the game all that more interesting.

  The stress and fear of knowing that any moment could be your last, the split-second descisions, running a razor's edge between success and disaster, knowing a single mistake WILL be your last, really get's the blood moving quite nicely (double all effects for multiplay  )

Wait, we might need that drool to fill in the oceans.

The one quieston right now is that, should I have little fishies floating around that you can shoot and could blow up

Youbetcha!

BTW Zero, I'm working on something for you.  Hopefully I'll have it done by wednsday or thursday (if it works right that is  )  I think you'll like it.

If this is going to be based on either X-COM2 -or- Subwar 2050 then I'm on your design team, THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE  

then again, you can probably count me in anyways

i wonder if you play about with the lighting effects to get a dappled effect on the ships.... you'd probably need new sounds as well, though.
