Title: 3-D Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod Post by: Ben-Ja on August 19, 2005, 01:27:41 am I was thinking of starting a 3-D ... Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod.
Let me know if anyone else would be interested in participating. We would create the basic models like the 3DO version, and we could load them as spacecraft in a BF2 mod. To see what a space mod looks like with the old BF1942 engine, check out Galactic Conquest. It would be cool I think! You would need BF2 to allow all the vehicles and special vehicle weapon types... the meat of the mod programming would be the weapon systems. Title: Re: 3-D Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod Post by: Culture20 on August 19, 2005, 03:03:24 am I'm not sure what BF2 is, but I briefly started (and have recently renewed my interest in) a Mod (http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2365) for Vegastrike (http://vegastrike.sf.net), an open-source space-sim. The mod is currently nothing more than a few models put into VS's mesh format, but I'm hoping to make a Sol-system demo over several months.
Do you mind if I steal your models? Title: Re: 3-D Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod Post by: nightshadow on August 19, 2005, 05:19:54 am This VS project seem to be getting along well...
I will keep an eye on it. ;) Keep up the good work. Title: Re: 3-D Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod Post by: harth1026 on August 19, 2005, 03:11:39 pm I'm not sure what BF2 is I think BF2 is Battlefield 2. Title: Re: 3-D Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod Post by: Kaiser II on August 21, 2005, 11:12:40 am Culture20, I'm really, really impressed. Can't wait for more from you. Never really played Vegastrike, but I will once you get more of this hammered out. lol
It looks absolutely fantastic. Title: Re: 3-D Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod Post by: Halleck on August 23, 2005, 10:50:17 am Culture20, I was waiting for you to say that. ;D
With my own "Elite Strike" mod underway I don't know that I could be of direct help, but you'll certainly have my support. Anyway, you obviously know what you're doing. :) I may be able to help out more directly if I ever finish Elite Strike, but that remains to be seen. Title: Re: 3-D Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod Post by: Elerium on August 24, 2005, 02:10:39 pm Hey Culture20, while checking the net I came across a very good model of an Ilwrath (and some others):

For having originally been created in the early 90s, the graphics aren't that bad. Title: Re: 3-D Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod Post by: Elerium on August 24, 2005, 10:41:03 pm Wow. You found the site of the guys who CREATED the 3D graphics for the 3DO's Star Control II intro, ending, and ship screens... What do I win? A Cruiser? A Marauder? My very own personallised Dreadnought? :D Title: Re: 3-D Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod Post by: Novus on August 24, 2005, 11:39:17 pm Well, that PCA Graphics page looks kind of dead (last update: 1997), but there are some really interesting high resolution pics of SC2 stuff there. The heading says "from the intro of the 3DO version", but there are quite a few things there I don't recognise. I wonder if these guys have high-resolution extended versions of the intro and ending movies lying around. I also wonder if they have the copyright for them.
Title: Re: 3-D Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod Post by: Kaiser II on August 25, 2005, 07:48:02 am Someone gonna start prodding them in e-mail? lol
...though they seem nuts... http://www.pcagraphics.com/whats_new_in_pixs/Rolfint_still.jpg http://www.pcagraphics.com/whats_new_in_pixs/rolfp2.jpg http://www.pcagraphics.com/whats_new_in_pixs/rolfp3.jpg :| Title: Re: 3-D Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod Post by: harth1026 on September 01, 2005, 06:55:56 pm Not a bad still image of the Mark II. The ending video always goes so fast I could never really get a good look at the thing.
Title: Re: 3-D Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod Post by: coeray on September 05, 2005, 08:47:38 pm Hey this sounds interesting. I'd be willing to do some 3d modeling/texturing for either of these projects. I'm pretty skilled in Max 7. In fact, I've been working on a game-friendly version of the vindicator. Here's what I have so far:
http://www.fullsailweb.com/~jannis/sc2/jca_vindicator_model2.jpg That model has about 3200 triangles. Anybody interested? -CoeRay Title: Re: 3-D Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod Post by: coeray on September 05, 2005, 08:55:15 pm Also, for the record, if you're planning on starting some kind of actual mod or serious hobby project, PLEASE post your e-mail address or some other contact information. Forums aren't a good way to get in touch with anybody.
But seriously, I am intersted. I've always wondered what 3D Star Control combat might look like. -CoeRay Title: Re: 3-D Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod Post by: drarem on September 13, 2005, 09:22:29 pm CoeRay -
I'd be interested, my email is: drarem <at> hotmail <dot> com I do a bit of each, here is my website, look under Gallery for my 3d work, and I think Files section has two utilities I created using c++. I also have blitz3d which is what I plan to use. http://drarem.ms11.net/index.html Title: Re: 3-D Star Control 2 Melee: BF2 Mod Post by: youBastrd on September 19, 2005, 08:05:21 am Great idea, guys, best of luck. Consider the Quake3 arena GPL code or Ogre3d while you're at it, but having a more modern and scriptable codebase is very valuble right there. Back in the day, we considered doing the same thing with the Unreal engine, but decided to stick with our 2D guns. For sure, this is a great idea.
