Hi everyone, just saying hi to everyone. I have a campain almost complete, it just needs a few more days of testing and it should be free. Most likely it will be done and I will upload it at my website chapter by chapter.

As for the story of the campain, it is basicly a continuation of the origional campain, taking place around the time you enter the 70th blue lions (you are a different pilot someplace else). The campain is a total of 34 missions and I also made them co-opable (the reason why it's taking extensive testing). The campaign tries to wrap up loose ends in the origional campaign (we all know what those loose ends are). I would really like to get this campaign out there in the world for some more extensive feed back so any who want to give it a go is more than welcome.
thanks for everything

Oh, I forgot one thing. I want to know how to make a mod. Who knows how many times I wished I could edit some shivan ships, or put a whole new race all together.....
Anyways, I don't know if i need to download something or make something and convert it or what. I have a graphic artist friend who specializes in 3d modeling, so converting (i think) wont be an issue. Any help would be appreciated

From the sounds of it - you want to learn how to model (theres several types of modding... weapons editing, ship editing *both use the .tbl files* and skinning and modelling)

I dont know how to model, but I know you'll need something like Truespace or 3DS Max or LW, and be able to convert your model into a .COB...

thanks for the info, its appreciated. i guess getting the modeling down is going to be the simple part (i think), but still I don't know about putting weopons on it and armor rating and such.
Btw, my CO suggested to me that there most likely is a way for me to edit the weopons for playable ships (harpoon, maxim). Is there anyway I can do that?

You'll have to extract the weapons and ships.tbl files with VPview.  They're part of the handy-dandy DMtools kit.

To learn how to edit the tables, just study them a while and you'll understand what value means. Trust me.

As soon as I get the name, I can post some news  

[Vincenta196]

sorry guys, i wasn't thinking strait.

the name of the Campain is "Project Shivana"

oh, and by the way, earlier in another forum, I wrote that the campain was 34 mission, I was mistaken. I accidently counted all the missions that this comp. has, since it has most of the work. i thought I transfered the files over from the other systems. I found the final draft document of all my mission outlines and such. 50 missions in all. 49 multi co-op. sorry for such the big #

So it's not a single player campaign?  

[Vincenta196]

oh, it is. 50 of them you can play in single player. if you want to do multi co-op, you can do all the same missions with 3 of your friends except the very last mission, which is special and only for single. however, I probobly will make a 50th level for the multi just to make it even

Amazing! 50 whole missions! Great work  

[NeoHunter]
