  • huh?.. Who?.. hey you kids, git off me lawn!
I've been playning starcraft recently and i've been thinking, why hasn't anyone attempted a mod for it that brings the freespace universe to the real time strategy realm (barring the FS/Homeworld Mod) does it have any merit?

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Starcraft is hard to mod, that's the main reason.

sounds reasonable enough, it would've looked interesting though, controlling entire platoons of Gta (or GTVA) troopers or legions of shivans.

starcraft....... is very complicated to mod, and installing mods is as hard as making them. Basically it involves extracting staredit v1.04 off your bw cd, then using camsys's stardraft to upload the compiled formats into staredit. Emerald Staredit, emerald aspect patch is good enough for me.

 I thought about that idea too because the three SC races are not unlike the 3 freespace races... brood act like shivans in cut scenes, terrans are terrans...go figure and vasudans well them there procyon or whatever are like em...

 Grayfox from STAMODS.De and i have combined forces for the STA mod...sound effects are nearing done so are the interfaces and he is doing the modeling!!!

As I recall there IS someone from HLP working on precisely this. Search the modding forum.
