Re: A Starcraft mod for FreeSpace
I can do the weapon tables ,I have and enjoy SC ,and looking forward to completion of this mod.
I will upload tables on mediafire ,just tell me to who I should send download link.
If you have the weapon tables done, then send me a PM and I'll give you my e-mail and you can send them to me. Or you can post them on another website and give me the ling. Either works. ;)


Also, certain Terran Buildings could lift off and fly around, so I'm not sure if you should consider putting those things into the game. There were definitely missions where you could fly them out of space onto space platforms so you might consider putting that into the game.

How about an escort mission where:

Your wing jumps in, recieve message that a Terran Command Centre, 2 Barracks and a Starport are fleeing Chau Sara
Depending on whether you are Terran or Protoss you:
 -Terran: Defend the structures to jump point
 -Protoss: Destroy structures before they reach the jump point

BTW Hows the website coming along?
1) I have the storyline laid out, so if it fits in, then I'll see what I can do. Also, in the current storyline, you only play as a Terran. Things may change later on though. :)
2) Thanks to Stormkeeper, the website was actually done about 2 months ago. I'll make sure that it gets up ASAP.


For a base, sure. I hope the mission would be a little more complicated than that, but its a good starting point. Although I've always hated defending stuff >:[ Its really up to the dragonsniper. I think he said he already had the first chapter mapped out.
I do have part 1 all done. I havn't looked over it in a while, so I'll make sure I do that again. That doens't mean however, that I can't add a couple suggested missions. :)


Has there been any news yet regarding an eventual update/functionning web site? it might be good to have news on that project once in a while.
Website will be us soon. When it is, I'll post everything there, and more major things here as well as the website. Thanks for the patience. Life has caught up to me, and after I do some FREDing for another mod, then I'll be able to work harder at this. I'll post when the website is up.

***NOTE*** I am looking for modelers. Anybody that wouldn't mind trying to model a ship or base (not sure exactly what ships I am and am not using yet) would be appreciated a lot. :yes:) Thanks.

Re: A Starcraft mod for FreeSpace
Has anyone attempted the battleships?

The building and texture wise it doesn't look too horrible, a lot of duplicating and cloning. Polycount is still kinda scary though.

BTW does anyone have good designs of one?  I got a good side view of the Retribution class.

Re: A Starcraft mod for FreeSpace
Scooby? you would try modelling the 40K ships under FS? That would be great, but you would need quite some luck! :D

Here some pics of a battlecruiser. Hope it's the one you were looking for. Also, how can you tell what the poly count of a ship is? Thanks.

Re: A Starcraft mod for FreeSpace
I'm working on tables ,I already completed Phase cannon for Arbiter (and maybe Dragoon).
You may want to take a look.
And I got a problem with Scout's cannons ,swarm primaries just don't seem to work for player.
Do you want Wraith lasers to fire as fast as in-game ,or like in cutscene where they attack the Battlecruiser?

Re: A Starcraft mod for FreeSpace
Love the pics. :nod: What were you firing the Phase cannon on? Also, what weapons are those for...? Don't remember the Arbiter. As for the Wraith, whatever looks the best. And if your up to it, maybe one of both, then some pics for comparison.

Re: A Starcraft mod for FreeSpace
I was flying my modified Valkyrie Mk2 (HTL Stentor).
For Wraith I was asking about ROF setting ,I think in-game is a bit slow ,but you may want to have it identical to game.

Re: A Starcraft mod for FreeSpace
1) Do you mean "in-game" as in the SC game done by blizzard, or by FS2?
2) ROF...?

1) I mean in Starcraft they fired pretty slow for me ,way slower than in cutscene.
2) Rate Of Fire.

 
Re: A Starcraft mod for FreeSpace
Actually I was kinda referring to the Warhammer dreanaught, not sure which one would be easier to do LOL

Re: A Starcraft mod for FreeSpace
Those aren't from Starcraft, Scooby_Doo. That's Warhammer 40K.

 
Re: A Starcraft mod for FreeSpace
LOL someone mentioned warhammer back on the first page and someone else mentioned incredibly high poly, so the 1+1... LOL

Re: A Starcraft mod for FreeSpace
The number of individual cannons on these things is excessive as well ;)

I remember in the board game it just handled them as "Batteries" with different amounts of firepower LOL.
Only the strongest weapons were handled individually... and i also remember using several dozens of torpedo counters during each game ;)

Re: A Starcraft mod for FreeSpace
Quite the same as the renegade legion in fact. Yet I suppose that compromises could be made...

Re: A Starcraft mod for FreeSpace
Quick update: I was able to get a modeler who is anxious to start working on some ships. SC also has a ships and weapons tabler and the website should be up soon (I know I've been saying this for a couple months now, but it shouldn't be long now. ;))

Re: A Starcraft mod for FreeSpace
OK ,I have some more weapons ,they still need some work ,but I think they look right.
In fact ,they look better than on screenshots ,it's very hard to catch something that moves as fast as them.
First screen is 20mm Burst lasers ,second is Heavy laser battery ,on third you can see effects of Dual photon blasters usage.
(I used energy consumption setting to fake the swarm effect).
