DISCLAIMER:

Before any Copyrights issues come up, we want to make clear that all these models are NOT our work. Some of them got edited for personal use (textures, glows etc.) but neither me (Ressikan) nor my friend Ketracel Junkie own any copyrights.

As I'm not sure that we will get all permissions for every ship used, this mod is on standby until we get all permissions.

so you're announcing a personal mod, that only 2 people can play.

first thought: why? fora are for discussion, nobody can discuss your mod as nobody can play it. i'm not sure what you want from this thread.

Yep thats true unfortunately. This post is mainly created to show off our hard work, and to get ideas.

showing off: that implies you want people to say it's good (or bad if they think so), but all the models are done by others, leaving a couple weapons effects and gameplay for people to comment on. we can't comment on gameplay was we can't play it. so all that's left is the weapons effects you guys did.

ideas: gonna be difficult, we don't know how your mod plays, eg resource costs of the new extremely powerful ships you've added. or tech requirements. capping turrets but making them more powerful is an interesting change, it's hard to say how it plays out. my best guess is that it makes turtling easy at the start, but the benefits trail off much later when the cap strangles your expansion. would probably extend games.

Well, now we are trying to contact everyone to get the permision, this thread shows the model creators how their ship will be used.

That's not true. All buildbuttons, minimages and systembackgrounds were created by me. I also added glows to the ships lacking them and tweaked some hardpoints. Many textures have been altered too, to fit the FO style. I even added bumpmaps in 3dsmax5 to some models.

i stand corrected,
hopefully you can get some good screenshots of these, so that you have something to show for your work and for people to critique.

i hope you get the permissions you want.

You do great work. Maybe you could help me with the TCF models for my mod.

posted on September 3rd, 2012, 6:01 am

Teasing us with your awesome mod is not kool! I wana play too !

posted on September 3rd, 2012, 1:13 pm

Maybe upload it so we can play and check out your work. Its kinda hard to talk about a mod u cant play.
Anyways, lookin' nice! like the idea of strong limited def - should make it quite more tactical to turtle on 8pl maps.
rly would love to try that.

Looks really great guys! Keep it up.

@ Myles
Its like the good ol' days of a2 modding. People always showed their personal mods off.

The problem is, now, you have to go through so much work to contact either long gone modders or ones who refuse to share their work, that making and releasing mods isn't worth it. Unless of course, you are the FO devs and make it all yourselves.


I must also make a correction to the credits up there. I in no way edited the excalibur mesh. I heavily redid the textures, but i did not alter the mesh at all. (hardpoints don't count)

Thx a lot I'm gonna change the credits.
