well it is well underdevelopment and it is going good, i am currently coding the model loader and i have managed to create a 3d enviroment but i still require some people with 3d programming knowlege, or who are willing to learn Delphi (free from www.borland.com  ) i dont mind teaching u, i just need more typing hands  

what i need to know is what u would want in a game, how u would want things to happen, if u would be interested in developing fully with me a game design then please let me know, i also need model concepts etc so that owuld be nice

[CODEDOG ND]

I can do concepts and models but I can't texture very well.  Count me in.

[Zeronet]

I can draw model concepts  

[KillMeNow]

is this going to be a free game when its done or can we charge for it?  

sadly i know nothing about programming - how are you and kazan? still getting on each others nerves cuase he leanred abit about prgramming open gl i think it was

tell me the contraits you want things modeled too and i will make a test ship for you =)

What I would like is a ground-space strat covering over 4000 unique locations, beautifully modeled in full 3D, with an engaging but demonically difficult plotline covering about 100 characters. But I'll settle for a FreeSpace clone with a few modifications to make it cooler, such as being able to actually travel between systems and unlimited battlefield size. Oh, and much higher poly limits.

[The Avenger]

stryke u said it in one, except not the first bit, higher poly yea, np at all, there will be a big map size, but wasnt fs2's map size big enough? anyway also increased texture sizes, and moving planets will be another thing, so that u can have atmospheric stuff going on, on the planet, also solid stargates (the universe will use stargates to travel, like jump nodes they only go from 1 point to another, but they have a cool water effect and when things get close, they get sucked in, like a big gravity well, so if u fly past one u better be fast cus it will suck u in!

The problem with FreeSpace's was that one of my mods was larger than the 60k maximum (in fact more than 10 times the size), plus it's just annoying to think about, but oh well...  

[Darkage]

The fs2 batle field is 60km by 60km

hmmmmmmmmm i dont liek the idea of node going from one area to another - anyone remember x beyond the frontier and how long it too just to get back to your factory to deliver some ore or something - do it more b5 style go to the jumpgate through it and into hyperspace then you can lock onto the beacon of your destination and go there and maybe encounter afew hostile lifeforms that dewel in hyperspace or pirate something so its not jsut 2 or 3 empty minutes in hyperspace - or you could do the iwar 2 thing and jsut be able to go into warp in any direction you please - that was cool - and none of the intardiction fields - maybe for specific plot purposes or in star wars style a big crusier than are fairly rare etc but have it so when soemthign goes to warp you dont loose you lock and can persue then fire on them at warp with cool looking torps

i love the type of game where you can doo as you please and you dont have to complete said mission - you can ******  off and leave the convoy to it if you want and no consenqueses but a reducing of your rep and no money perhaps they will come looking for the deposit heheh that would be fun in privateer 2 the darkening i used to love it when a mission was an ambush - it was fun slaughtering them but give thema  good ia so when they know you have turned the tables they attemp to flee

ohhh i think it should be a mercenay game  with a freestyle plot based on like a major war between 2 civilisation(human civs) and your choices in missions can tilt the ballance of the war and just as one side is crushed utterly we learn that it has been a plot by aliens to weaken humans so they can invade then you have to fight the aliens break blockades of planets and finally mission would be an assult on the enemy homeworld where you get to fly into there atmohpere blow stuff up get out of you ship and go and shoot the alien leader in huis underground bunker =)

heheh would be great

Quick question, would the engine allow for planetary environments. (ala like a flightsim engine) and some really basic FPS type physics and level layout? (plus particle effects, etc.)

You know what I would love? A mix between Iwar2( pirating), and the Darkening (trade), in Sol only. You, just one system, but a detailled one, with gates at all strategic points ( AKA near large stations). and the ability to land on planets (no need to be able to go into the tamosphere, the privateer2 way was way enough for me, maybe a cutscene using the game engine would be great tho).
And randomly generated missions to top it all, for those who don't like pirating or trading, they could play as a mercs (like capture the crew of that ship and bring it into the Moon orbiter station, stuff like that).
You'd have a big ship, kindda like in Iwar2, but not ubberpowerfull corvettes with lots of guns, all ships would have no shields, and machineguns, stuff that can nail another ship in seconds (fast and furious dogfights), and you can undock a fighter, a friend/copilot would handle one of the ships and you the other. voila voila.

[Grey Wolf]

Einsteinian physics, relativity, and balanced drives.

[Stryke 9]

And none of I-War's damn grocery shopping! If you must have piracy, have it so you can sell goods at a set value for whatever it is, and buy gear with the cash pool!

[CODEDOG ND]

Maybe a period of time between early space exploration and man's use of interstellar travel.  Have it take place in Sol, highly detailed, no shields maybe, machine guns, longer range missiles and chaff.  A fairly primative society according to the FS2 world but more advanced than todays.

[edit]Yea, he's right, that pirating in I-war2 is really gay and boring that's why I dont play it anymore only after about 2 weeks of seeing how much it sucked[edit]

Nah, I think the only gay one is that cyborg dude, though... but that makes it hard to explain[remainder of post deleted by the Obscene Conjecture Review Board, as per Virginia Decency Act of 1903]

I dont like being a pirate, its really dumb.  No ****  tech, why do that when you can join the GTVA or Navy and 0wnz the galaxy!

And are you following me?

[Stryke 9]

There being all of 3 subforums I visit here, and 4 people online, our posts would tend to overlap. Also, RDS isn't working properly and the HOTU forum is down, so I'm just goin' after the fresh blood.

[CODEDOG ND]

actually i visit 3 forums continously for about 2 hrs will chatting on icq normally.

I'll say this much, I have a project slowly but surely coming arround that is a military style space-sim (WingCommander, FreeSpace) set in the Sol system.

No shields, no FTL, intertialess drives are very rare. Machine guns are used, but energy weapons are also fielded. Missiles and nuclear ordinance are the most common weapons in the arsenal however.

The plot is very... very complex however  

Edit: I will say this much UN police actions in the former Eastern bloc states are very similar to what's going on...

i want this to be a pure space sim, no flying into planets and no fps, it will span more than one system but there will be different modes of play, anyway the engine is the engine that is all (i) am making, the rest of the team will work on the main game, the engine exe will be a free download before the game release so any other groups of people can download it and develop a game to suit them, i will be prepared to make slight ajustments for each group of people wanting to make a game using the engine, but the code will work modularly so if i make a unique update for one group, thats ok but if i make a global update each group will have there own individual updates and the generic updates aswell. But the main engine (with no updates) will take precidence, and so peoples unique custom settings may take longer for me to update
