hello recently  I have begun my mod on the engine of battlefield 2
but i need models to create weapons for the marines.

-ml 16
-avenger
-flail
-banshee
-distruptor
-prometheus
-interceptor
-tsunami
-valkyrie
-amun
-horus
-medusa
 -marine (already create but my  marine is maybe more ugly than your marine
contact me please !

I like the idea of a Marine on foot carrying a Tsunami.

What model format do you need? I'm sure someone can oblige you with converting them from POF.

Hmmm...

First off, any modding work is greatly commendable, so mad props. 

However, I do wonder: is BF2 really the best platform for a FS mod? In all truthfulness, something like the Half-Life engine would be better as it supports the physics which make space flight doable in a shooter - I've seen it done before. However, that doesn't help your cause, so I'll drop this point.

How are you going to use commander assets?

[antalaz]

i will try to make my mod with HL2
i'didn't knowwe can fly with in the space with the HL2 engine .

and yes i'will convert pof to cob for the ships
but for the weapons ; marines and  vasudans ... i can't convert because i haven't models  

[Thaeris]

Well, arcade space flight is certainly not impossible with a BF engine, as "First Strike" (a mod for BF2142) proves:

However, I've seen a great many developments for combat flight with the Half-Life 2 engine:

There's others you can find as well. I recall my roomate from the year prior having a mod which was a 3rd person dogfight sim set in early WWII - you can do a lot with the HL2 engine. Also, I believe there's some mobility restrictions with BF, so HL2 might be a better choice for development.

However, you should keep in mind that I don't use or play either of the games - I've watched gameplay, of course, but I'm primarily reporting on the functionality I've observed and read about.

the problem with HL² is i don't know how to launch the mods .

what 's your opinion on the quake 3 engine or the UT3 engine ?

Another idea is to arise from a mission fs 2; on planets
 (a jump or other node)
the problem is that I should change the build of Freespace 2 to toggle it on an engine and it launches a proper map.

[Thaeris]

I've only seen and read about BF and HL mods in action, so I can't help you with the other programs. Also, there was a team about here somewhere working on something called "FreeSpace: Close Quarters" or something to that effect. Before setting off on an entirely new project, perhaps you could check out the status of some similar projects first?

We don't have any character models yet. Secondary weapons you can grab from the FreeSpace Port Media VPs, but there are only two or three primary weapons that have models. It's best to start from scratch, I think.

how to open a cob files without truespace  ?

[Titan]

how to open a cob files without truespace  ?

I *believe* you could with POF Constructor Suite 2, then convert to something like a 3ds... wait... no... You need to convert 3ds to cob to work in pcs2... so my entire comment was bullcrap...

what was that stuff a while back about collada?

[antalaz]

i don't know how to export / import files in truespace
i say it because i prefer blender and 3ds than truespace

[The E]

There is a newer version of PCS2 that allows exporting the models to dae. Blender's Collada 1.4 importer can handle that without issues.

[antalaz]

Had you followed this link: http://the158th.hard-light.net/spicious/pcs2.7z from the wiki page I linked to, you would have it now.

I know you are not fluent in english, but this is taking it a bit far.

[antalaz]

Oh! ok , i'm sorry  

i've another problem with PCS 2
devil.dll is required
but i haven't this dll
where can i get this dll please ?

[The E]

It is included in the original PCS2 (found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/alliance/files/POF%20Constructor%20Suite/2.0.3/PCS2_2.0.3_2008-05-15.exe/download ). Download that, install it, then replace the pcs2.exe with the one from the archive.
