Star Wars: A New Mod

[Pleb]

Chris was always good with weapons fx. And the Queen model looks excellent. Whose is it?

 

[jobiwan7]

I got the model from http://xpi.org.uk/~swma/archives/archives.htm. They have some pretty good stuff. I've also used http://scifi3d.theforce.net/.

Nice to see Pleb again.

I've been trying out OpenFX for a while and I'm trying to make units (a Super Star Destroyer). The modeling is going okay, but the Civ FLC creation isn't going so well (pallette problems). Could somebody do lasers and stuff for me?

@ Jobiwan - I've gotten pretty good at lasers and pallettes, so I might be able to help you there. Perhaps you could also ask Morpheus, he seems to be good at lasers and that kind of stuff.

 

[jobiwan7]

I'll upload the BMPs here then and then maybe someone can finish them. Unfortunately, there is no civ-color. That could be added, I guess.

This is pretty cool. How big is the file and can I play the Echo Base Conquest?

 

[Pleb]

I'm currently uploading both the latest version of The Clone Wars (Episode II+), and The Galactic Civil War (Episodes IV-VI). The Clone Wars is about 15MB and The Galactic Civil War is about 21MB. As for the Echo Base Conquest, that isn't avaliable with this version as it's still being worked on. But, it shall be included in the next version, along with music.

I have some more previews of my leaderheads, Amidala and the Emperor.

 

[Pleb]

I like. The Emperor one looks especially good.

For the main game mode, the leaderheads of people will of course be used, but during scenarios, because sometimes the leader is different, a flag representing the civilization in question will be used. Don't worry, I'll develop these, and they will of course be animated.

 

[Pleb]

Oh, and in case nobody noticed...both mods are avaliable to download of CFC!

 

[Pleb]

A new website will be created, containing valuable information on the mod and a whole load of screenshots very soon. This will be placed on a new server, and the address will be: http://starmod.freeserverhost.com

We won't be having our own forums, as we can easily use these. If we do ever need any, we can always add more. What we will have on the site hopefully, is an online Civilopedia, Strategies, Scenario Walk-Thru's, Media, and a whole lot more. Plus, a whole new PHP design, and not phpNuke.

Edit: I meant to say, not the standard phpNuke.

 

[jobiwan7]

Great! I suppose we'll need to tell the members at the other site, too.

 

[jobiwan7]

Okay, here's probably the final Emperor preview. I've tested it out in-game, fixed some colors, and made him blink. How does it look?

 

[Nice Guy_4000]

That's Pretty cool. He looks a little shiny though. I don't Know if that's intentional, but I have a helluva hard time with textures on my models. Still cool though.

 

[Pleb]

This is very nice work, Jobi. Keep it up!

 

[jobiwan7]

Thanks. I'm not sure how I should do the pcx's. Could you do those?

Also, if you can find a Dooku-looking model, please direct me to it.

 

[Pleb]

Just send me the FLC file(s) for the leaderhead and I'll deal with the rest.

 

[jobiwan7]

You can download them.

Also, here's the Executor BMPs file.

 

[Pleb]

Lol, I was sent an interesting email the other day that reminded me of the project in the first place. They asked, "Why is Jobiwan7 the Star Wars Mod Leader and not you, when you seem to be the one putting it together?" And the answer is simple: I do the easy bit. Putting it together is easier than making all these leaderheads and units...

 

[jobiwan7]

Any progress on the new site?

 

[Pleb]

At the moment, the server is slightly unstable due to it being new. However, the work I have done has been to take the latest version of PHP-Nuke and create and use many addons so it meets our criteria.
