What is done and what left to do
I have waited for release for a long time and i want to know what really left to be done ,because I made a half completed TC mod (my own SW based story and universe) ,five shippacks that need only a bit of work and a lot of extensions and corrections for existing mods in about a year ,alone on windows Millennium.
I have taken textures and models form other mods ,but i have seen many WIP threads with models that were about to be completed.
I think somebody said a demo should be released in "early 2009" we have early 2009 so i was thinking the demo should be out soon.
Can somebody tell me what is the status of FOTG?
In my mod i use IA stuff witch is looking like made for retail (though blasters look just like from the original trylogy).

I think brand's hardware crash may have setback things...

Re: What is done and what left to do
A good rule with total conversion mods is to assume they won't be out for a couple years. These things require a ton of effort.

Patience!

Re: What is done and what left to do
OK but i only asked for a status report (look at mv assets status thread in freespace upgrade project board) not a release date (though somebody already said "early 2009").

Re: What is done and what left to do
That was probably before the hardware crash that cost us quite a bit of the content we had hoped for said demo.  Still, development is moving in ways it was previously unable to at the moment.

Re: What is done and what left to do
So hardware malfunction?
OK no problem ,i just changed my computer ant it took a week to get everything working ,so i can imagine how long it must take to recover from bigger malfunction (my new computer was prepared for change so only thing i needed to do was installing some programs and copying old data).

So i hope you will quickly recover or remake your data and may the force be with you.

Re: What is done and what left to do
Nice one. :yes:

The team is making back-ups, so I guess anymore hardware failures (force forbid them) won't be so devastating.

Re: What is done and what left to do
sort of a blessing in disguise though, the current models look better than pro grade (i mean, have you seen some of those slopy fighters?)

and, in comparison, the previous models looked really moddy.

i want to hold the y-wing in my hands...

I used to be impressed with the models done by the XWA  Upgrade team.  I went back and looked at those recently and had only one reaction:  bleah!

You guys are spoiling me.

Oh...oops, that's the one I meant to grab...I must've went to the wrong thread or something.  Oh well, you posted it for me anyways.

That's comparing apples to oranges. The XWA Upgrade models are limited by a seriously outdated game, which the source code hasn't been released for, so therefore, they can't update the game like the FS2 community can, and no one is ballsy enough to attempt to reverse engineer it for fear of the repercussions of Lucas's Empire. It's a serious limitation, but you work with what you got. And in that aspect, they're amazing. Also, the Y-wing hasn't been updated in a long time. I suggest posting your comments on their board and see how they react.

No offense was intended to the XWA Upgrade team - they still do wonders with what they have to work with.  It's also true that most of their models aren't nearly as bad as the Y-Wing.  All I was trying to do was show just how much better of graphics we're going to be getting out of this than we could in XWA, and how excited I am that some new life is being breathed into the Star Wars starfighter simulator genre.

Though it's a render, not in-game.
