The Omega Project: Development Thread

[T.A JONES]

Storm G never realized you were up to so much quilty Sh#t, Im talking the crisp rendition of chrome for that backround. Its the nicest pallete used with the military advisor Ive ever come by. Thats an important one two most used besides the overall city/empire advisor.

Props up on the nice orange hue you focus on with the terrain its coming alonggood( new spin on a old look, gutsy man ,I'll be watching for this one. thanks everyone for the effort boys

@ Odin -What are you saying? that Muslims cant be Jedi's ? Thats why I threw Jihad(sp) after jedi.
Remember I'm still 2 LH's short as it is now and I may add a few more civ's, so I have to make due with whats available. I may try to cut and paste Castro's background later.

 

[Storm Grunt]

Thanks TA but thats Eva's full metal interface and mars terrain by sprnv8. I just did the terrain buildings and advisors....

Hey, since the leader of the Asian civ isn't an Asian, why not use modern era Tokugawa?

 

[Storm Grunt]

Good call Odin. I switched Tokugawa to Enclave and the other went to Legion of Doom. first post updated. Thanks

BTW- what do you think of those Faction cities Odin?

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Maybe you could use the Laguna Loire of Esthar LH I made a little while back for one of the factions... After All, Esthar was a super-advanced civ from FF 8, and the background and characther are sutiably Sci-fi, I think.....

 

[Storm Grunt]

Thanks HT that will work :The list has been updated.

The Republic
Commercial and agricultural civ Led by a "young Republican" business genius who sees that food will rule the new world.

Thanks for all the help and input everyone. I feel like I got a lot done over this long weekend. This mod has legs and is running. I'm having a blast making it!

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Storm Grunt, I was just thinking.... Maybe you could use some of the Goa'uld units from the Stargate Mod for the Legion of Doom, such as the Ha'Tak, Al'kesh, Death Glider and the Jaffa infantry (actually the current scenario uses placeholders for the infantry, but I DO have props for making Horus Guard Jaffa like was in the original Stargate Movie)....

 

[Storm Grunt]

The Three ships were already in the "to add" unit folder. I'm sure I can use the Infantry unit if you make it. Thanks HT

 

[Kingpin]

Looks interesting, Storm Grunt. I wish you the best as you work on this unique project.

 

[Storm Grunt]

Good News: I've contacted Kingpin and he has agreed to donate the previously unreleased Ripptide Battletech units to the Omega Project Mod.

Bad News: The reason they didn't make it into the TBXR Mod is that in testing some of Kingpins testers reported problems with the units or CTD's related to the units. He sent me one unit to try out and sure enough it wouldn't open in flicster and in civ3flcedit it locked up in the westerly direction.

Good News: I exported the frames to storyboard to look for the problem and found the last 7 frames were blank. The frames were there just no animations in them. With a little cut-N-paste action I was able to replace the missing animations convert it back to a flc and it now worked in both flicster and civ3flcedit. I did the attackA and sent it back to Kingpin to see what he thought about how it looked before I do the rest of the animations for the unit. I'm just waiting to hear back from him.

So here is a little preview of the previously unreleased Battletech Bandit Hover tank by Ripptide.

Spoiler :

Thanks so much to Kingpin for giving me this opportunity!

Sweetness...

 

[Stormrage]

Just how many exclusive units does TBRX have?

 

[odintheking]

Hey, I've got an idea for a new civ: a raggedy, poor civ who can barely pull off some scrappy mechs and robots. They could make cheap stuff quickly, and could have a tech tree reflecting their culture and guerilla units. They could use that Arab leaderhead and the civ 3 guerilla units, maybe. Just a suggestion. Also, once I download Poser, I might be able to make some stuff, . BTW, any use for that Mon Mothma lh?

 

[Storm Grunt]

@ Odin - Thats how The Red Faction starts out. Their first 3 infantry units are less expensive to build but also less effective. most of their units will be this way I think in the end...

Red Guard................Red Sharpshooter................Red Rifle

The Mon Mothma LH I have in reserve for a yet to be figured out civ....

 

[carmen510]

Sweet.......

 

[7ronin]

SG - looks like you are really making progress!

 

[Storm Grunt]

SG - looks like you are really making progress!

It's easy to make progress when the story line is in your head and you don't have to worry about Historical or factual accuracy.

Here is a preview of a graphic I made into a wonder splash that really captures the feel of where I'm going with this mod.(the jump from old world technology to new) It will produce Tie fighters every so many turns....

 

[Stormrage]

Beautiful!

 

[carmen510]

TIE fighters look like the Lego ones but otherwise.....

HOLY ****! That's ****IN BEUTIFUL!
