The Song of the Moon

[joelwest]

I suggest a real mapscript of the moon, with peaks and hills included.

it would certainly make the mod less confusing if ANY terran map could be altered automatically to make it a moon map, ie with alien goody huts and the appropriate moon based resources.

if this is not possible, and only one moon map script will be written or the current moon map script updated, make sure to

1) enable naval units on the dust seas

2) introduce new amphibious units to the game so that one tile islands in a dust sea can be captured

3) adjust the darkness of moon craters so that when roads are built they can be seen

*resurfaces*

This thing's getting revived?

*tears of joy

i like the current map script. it allows for more than one game. no fixed map!!

 

[woodelf]

Come to our public thread Owie and help us out.

Yeah Garret, we're keeping a mapscript but we need some tweaking.

 

[soibean]

glad to hear this mod is being brought back
goodluck

 

[GarretSidzaka]

a map script will bring this mod untold replay value. I think the main focus right now, is to decide what to clip from old version (it needs clippin) and then set what we have left to graphics. Then we can work out SDK or AI elements to taste.

Is there going to be a war script in this game? I like to see customize music on the leaders & the game menu for each age.

 

[GeoModder]

War script? What's that supposed to do?
Customized music on the leaders... wow, quite a task. Any suggestions of tunes you know?
And there is customized intromusic at startup, nothing further IIRC.

 

[woodelf]

That's more polish than substance darkedone02. And I thought you were going to be suggesting and helping out? We have a public forum area now...

 

[darkedone02]

I am helping out! just want to know your opinions on that. I can search for the music on the game, all I have to do is search for some space techno and other crap like that to see if it's fit in! The Warscript I am talking about is something that Fall From Heaven 2 have, when one person hate that civilization and the other hate this and that. Since there got to be some type of dislike on each Civilization, I'll be great that this game have it.

I will search for the music, I might be borrowing some from a game like Eve Online or hear some nice pieces from the radio and search and download them legally.

 

[woodelf]

Musical help, sounds effects, whatever would be great help!

 

[primem0ver]

WOW! Somehow this little mod was missed by me. This is really cool! The genetic era team (before major left) wanted to do something like this as an addon map... so that once you discovered the technology, and the earth was wanting for lack of space, you could start colonizing the moon (and eventually mars). But we were worried about game performance (with 2+ maps) and with major gone, we have focused on other areas.

Keep it up... maybe I can help out here and their (but I need a break after my current projects!)

 

[woodelf]

primem0ver - if you follow my sig you'll find the public forum area as well. I'd love to have your help putting Events into this mod. Take a break though!

 

[darkedone02]

I want to find out where you can download these space ambient music and space electronica music as well... do you know a site that contains these songs?

 

[woodelf]

Version 0.23B is uploaded and linked here.

Make sure you read the readme.

No idea on the tunes darkedone, but I'll ask a friend who likes that stuff.

 

[darkedone02]

I got at least 4 music files in that could fit, three of them from eve online, and one I found that is from project playlist.

 

[woodelf]

Thanks darkedone02. I hope you've checked out the new version.

Anyone know if you can directly borrow music from other games?

 

[GarretSidzaka]

why not rip some off of the SMAC game itself? cant be anyworse than what i did with 2nd rev.

 

[woodelf]

I'd like to leave this mod and SMAC separate. I might steal some sounds though.
