The Omega Project: Development Thread

[Lord Cooper]

also if someone made a scenario based on PlanetSide it'd be so sweet!


check it out ---> www.planetside.com


By the way keep up on the work for this scenario cause im sure it'll blow us away

That cloud(shadow) was put there by the unit creator,it's linked to the red eye. I guess I could edit that out as well if people think it looks odd.

It seems to be light shadow, so it wouldn't be odd ingame. I leave the choice to you there.

@ Lord Cooper - That is very close to the feel I'm going for with this mod. Thanks for the link to that site. That will be a good source of Ideas and graphic resources. Don't be surprised if you see some planetside material wind up in this mod.

now it's time for another episode of Omega Project preview theater:

"Sir, more recon images just came in.This time near Red Faction territory."
"I hope you have more info for me this time Master Chief."
"Yes sir, We actually got a hit in the data base on these.It came back to old world technology. Blueprints for a soviet concept stealth attack helo designated Black ghost. I'll leave the file here for you sir.

Spoiler :

"Very good Master Chief. Send Gordon Freeman up here I want to know the status of that nitro-fuel research."

 

[Lord Cooper]

that'd be sweet... this is looking good... and hey if you need any help with research or play testing or whatnot i'll be more than happy to help ya out.. i love this kind of stuff

 

[Storm Grunt]

Thanx for volunteering. I'll keep that in mind when we get to beta stage.

For now feedback and thoughts are always great help...

 

[Storm Grunt]

Say hello to your military advisor(at least one age). Two emotions. (sad shown)

 

[odintheking]

D'oh, I was just about to do Master Chief, .

 

[Quinzy]

you should actually have a civ called DEBUG.

 

[odintheking]

Hey, shouldn't the names for the Omega civs be switched? I mean, a civ that spreads democracy shouldn't be called an Empire. Anyhoo, I found some possible leaderheads, (I tried to find modern ones witha red terrain background, like in the mod):

Hikaro's Rufus could be used for the Federation.

ED's Outcast could probably be used for the democracy-spreading civ, since I figured a chick would be leader of that civ, no?

CivArmy's Toghril Beg's last era would work well for a Republic leader, maybe? Since there would obviously be Arabs on the planet, and the Republic has little source info, maybe it could work. Or maybe for that Communist civ, since I really can't picture Fidel's cousin or whatever in front of palm trees and a Che head on a red friggin planet, .

As for the leaderheads you already have, I assume you are using the Jared Taylor leaderhead for the NWO, right? Because it works really well for that. I would try to replace the Morpheus and Stargate leadeheads, since they are so recognizable. And the Castro one, since it doesn't fit (as I said earlier), .

 

[Storm Grunt]

@ Odin - I thought you were doing the military guy and the bot? The guy is better for the first era as the mil adviser and I'll find someplace for that bot.

@ Quinzy - (I know I'm probably going to be sorry for asking this...) Why do I need a civ called DEBUG?

Added five or six attack helos still testing and tweaking the settings.One is a transport and the computer did use it to deploy infantry into my area.

Added covert Ops unit with the ability to stealth attack king units and flagged as invisible and hidden nationality. So protect your king with with secret service unit. flagged as detect invisible and bombard 3/0/2 lethal land.
Placed a few from one civ near another civ and the AI went for the King!

Sorry Odin, I didn't see that post before I posted mine.
Yes, your right I should switch the the name of that CIV.
I can use all of those leaderheads thanks for those suggestions and links. That helps a lot.
I know some of the ones I have are highly recognized to specific series, but there is a definite lack of sci-fi leaderheads out there and until someone makes some better ones these will have to do for now.

Oh, BTW. I added another civ. The legion of Doom. Death cultist monarchy.(ancient Egypt like feel)

 

[Quinzy]

it was a joke, young grasshopper (look at your screenie you posted)

 

[Storm Grunt]

@ Quinzy - I just thought there was more behind it than that....

I updated the first post with: new civ's, more game concepts, and extra background story info.
@ Odin - I changed the name of that civ to Unified States.

 

[Quinzy]

i like this so far its coming along nicely.

 

[carmen510]

Nice units. Tell me if you want help.

 

[Storm Grunt]

Thanks Quinzy. I really appreciate the support.

I finished another city set. This ones primarily for the red faction but I don't know who else I'll give it to as well. It sucks that the game limits the different number of city sets to only a few....

And the in game shot of size 2....

BTW: thats Wyrms Super armored fighting suit on the side of the lake.....

 

[Quinzy]

looking nice
kinda makes me want to do something with my mod..

 

[Stormrage]

Quinn, would these be good for the Imperials? Sorry, Storm_Buddy for such obvious announcing of possible ind. espionage, but I really like them

 

[Storm Grunt]

No problemo, Storm buddy. Your more than welcome to use them for your mod. The Image above is in png. format so I will probably release these publicly in pcx so I can enter them in the pcx challenge. I really like the way they turned out too!

The first post has been updated again to show current leaderhead usage. To check it out click HERE

 

[odintheking]

Huh? The Arab is the Jedi leader, . I thought he might go well as the Red Faction leader. Unless you really want to use Castro, then maybe use a different era without palm trees... otherwise, the leaderhead selection looks good, .
