Star Wars: The Mod Strikes Back

[odintheking]

Yeah, that seems good, though you might want to use the same text I used in the old site, I thought that worked pretty well. It would be really cool to have that, . Do you plan to do victory movies, as well? That would be awesome, . As for the Lamba shuttle, the pallette is kind of screwed up, and it doesn't look too hot in-game, .

i have the star wars text so that wont be a prob. Civ3 has victory movies??? ill try to make some victory movies...only after the intro is perfected.

 

[Chris85]

hey, i have a ?
im making the intro movie for this MOD, its going to be the classic scrolling of text...what should it say.
right now, it says something like this:


The MOD Strikes Back


It was a time of great turmoil. All had given up on the project. but wait, a tiny crew still remained loyal to the cause. This crew planted the seed that began the project once again. This crew began to seek aid for this wonderful cause. The aid that this project needed came pouring in...

Is this project truely worth the fight? The tiny crew and its company certainly think so.

We shall see...

That's pretty funny.

However the struggle continues...

@odin: instead of a victory movie, i think ill do credits with the star wars background as well as the same sound etc...
could you compile a list of resources for me, a list of all the people that helped in this project as well as what they did, unit creator, tech creator, terrain creator, etc...

 

[odintheking]

Well, basic mod team (did units, biqs, unit lists, etc.) is:

tpasmall (who started the mod)
Pleb
Sheepmonster

nEo

Units:

Polyphemus

I just breezed through the old SW threads (man that took me back) and found some people you missed.

TedG - Ideas & Discussion/Unit Graphics/He was a pretty big contibutor back in the day
Warmaster - Ideas & Discussion/I think he made some Graphics
The Thinker - As his name implies he came up with some good ideas early in the mod
Lukree - Space Terrain
Plastic Bag - He made the R2 unit
Dark Sheer - Unit Graphics
GIDustin - Wookiee unit/Used his site to upload SW units early on
DonStamos - Ideas & Discussion
TheMorpheus - Ideas & Discussion/Unit Graphics
Bluemofia - Ideas & Discussion
mrkingkong - Ideas & Discussion
starwarscrazy - Ideas & Discussion
Hikaro Takayama - Z-95 unit
BlackHand - Unit Graphics

I think that's just about all of them although I probably missed a couple that were worthy of recognition.

Here are the major discussion threads if you want to check out what some of these people did:
I. Star Wars Mod (2/13/02)
II. Star Wars: A New Mod (10/14/02)
III. Star Wars: A New Mod (3/16/04)
IV. Star Wars: A New Mod (Vol. II) (8/9/04)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: We should also add credits for sources of graphics and info like:

LucasArts - For using units from SW:Galactic Battlegrounds
Lucasfilm
George Lucas
Sci-Fi 3-D
Star Wars: Modelling Alliance
X-Wing Alliance
CUSWE: Completely Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia
The Wookieepedia

 

[odintheking]

Thanks, man, I missed alot of these people, (I knew I missed alot). I can't believe I forgot BlackHand, .


EDIT: Yeah, we also need George Lucas. Like at the end of SW games, we can put:

"and a very special thanks to GEORGE LUCAS"

im almost done with the intro video. @Odin & Chris: I never new that many people worked on this project...

 

[polyphemus]

good news! im 90.5% done with the movie. I already finished it, but upon closer inspection i decided to make the animation smoother. I went back on, and guess what, my trial period expired!!! I then loaded the program into another computer and started where i left off. As i type, i am exporting the flash movie into AVI then i will convert to BINK, the CIV 3 file format. The first movie was ~13.5 MB and now im looking at maybe a little more since i had to add some frames. I guess i have to request FTP access to get it uploaded.

 

[polyphemus]

ok, its all done
the file turned out to be 18MB or 17MB in a zip file.
i uploaded the file to 3Ddownloads and have to wait a day to get the file approved. ONce its approved and i get the URL i'll post it here. Now should i make the movie public or sorta keep it a secret and only pm u guys the URL?

 

[odintheking]

You should use RAR, that works way better than zip for large files. Just post it here, so we can all see it, . I would keep it on hand though, because more people may help before the mod is done, .

EDIT: Hey, I found this HK-47 minimap, made by Tae-shala, and we should really use it!

 

[polyphemus]

i cant use RAR on this computer since my trial period already expired a while back. Its a zip file ~16MB and its only the intro, so its only scrolling text with music in the background
Here's the link:
http://www.3ddownloads.com/Strategy/Civilization 3/Mods/BNK_Intro_Video/SW
intro movie.zip

i dont know why it broke it up like that...just copy and paste the whole line into the search bar

A screenshot is attached

 

[polyphemus]

has anyone downloaded it...how is it...please, i need comments

 

[odintheking]

I downloaded it but can't view it, .

 

[Red Door]

Whoa! Are you guys close to finishing or something? I see your gathering up stuff.

 

[polyphemus]

[odintheking]

AlCosta - Nooooo!!! We are not even close to releasing the beta yet, . Polyphemus just go bored and wanted to make the credits, .

 

[Red Door]

Ooooh I see, I'll try helping when I'm done with my current projects. You can use my sig for that.

 

[polyphemus]

AlCosta - Nooooo!!! We are not even close to releasing the beta yet, . Polyphemus just go bored and wanted to make the credits, .
