If I get flamed so be it! Robotech for PC

[Star Dragon]

I am working on a Robotech II Mod for Freespace2 using the original RDF mod created by max Sterling's team at ROBOTECHLAN.COM

His mod is basicly so you can use teh editor to make your own robotech missions! You are provided with hte models, weapons, and texturs so allis handled automaticly with teh drop down windows interface.

I am scouring the new to find modlers who like robotech or macross (or any mecha/starship anime at all!) for help with my project as well as other projects like GUNDAM, STAR TREK, NEXUS (including thesuper robot of the 70's like Star Dragon (AKA Getter Robo G), STAR BLAZERS, CAPTAIN HARLOCK, ect...

Even though FS2 is like over 5 years old it still kicks ass (as the only possible successor to the WC series as far as combat flight sims go), and tons of mods have been done or are being completed for it.

such as:

The Babylon Project (second release - fight the battle fo the line! It's awesome!!!

Wing Commander SAGA (Wing Commanders 1-5 planned)

Star Wars

Battle Star Galactica (mini-mod is now rewvived from a small skirmish of 3 ships o a whole mod project now for ORIGINAL SERIES!)

and many others for the FS2 contiuation campaign using the mods made by users and FRED the mission editor. Major FS2 campaign just released INFERNO!! Yes almost 2 years in the making you get all 140 NEW ships now even though only the first 15 missions have been scripted (chapter 1 of 4 planned). They are fairly far into chapter 2 as I speak).

If you make 3dmodels (or know someone who does) then have them respond here or better! Write me! Stardragon1@hotmail.com

here is a link to the main FS2 modding site http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/hlp/ register and say hello!

here are some screens of wip's and other tests from the REF mod as well as other stuff! Like my getter beam test, Enterprise-F! and other cool ships kicking a$$ all over the univese can you figure out what these are without me telling you?

http://photo.starblvd.net/Star_Dragon/6-5-...&pg=5&ro=4&co=4 Lastly this is teh passenger liner from WXA, I hope Star Wars fans will forgive me but I liked my re-texture and instead of holding a few hundred, I made it a LOT bigger and now it looks like it can hold 1 million civillians easy! this ship is HUGE and takes forever to fly over to get at enemies attacking from the other side! I think I made it around 4km long...

Anyway if you haven't figured out yet Freespace 2 (FS2) is a space fighter sim where you are a pilot of a starfighter. You go on missions to defend resources or to attack the enemy. Only in space, unless you get teh robotech mod , then you can add a 360 degree atmosphere as ground combat/interaction is something being worked on... Oh and if you think it's not worth waiting for? With the release of the source code and new people flooding in cause of teh FREE DOWNLOAD yes the stripped down version of teh game that you can still add mods to is available from the modding site. BUT I sincerely recommend buying the normal full version to get teh quality and the cutscenes all in one shot.

Here is a link those INSANE coders and modlers are toying with. IE teh game is designed for capital ships no bigger than 4-5000 pollies...

here are 14,000 ST ones with bump mapping, glow, shine, and all teh bells and whistes. Gee Makes me feel like I could just beam over huh? MAKE IT SO! (BTW this would never run on my P4 1.8g 32mb video!)

Damn, do they make Freespace for the Macintosh. It probably wouldn't run on my old PC.

[Myriad]

Interesting can't wait to see the finished project.

[Dangaioh]

why would you be flammed for.... all you are doing is a project and you seem to understand the difference between Macross and Robo*cough*crap*cough*tech... all joking aside..., i do wish you the best of luck on your project and can't wait to see your final work and be put into use.

Other then having a bunch of non RT units in the game (mainly the VF4 and the Stampede).... I don't see why you would be flamed.

One question.... is this a continuation of an old Freespace mod that was around a few years ago? I remember playing 2 early levels for it. It had no sound, but most of the units had already been changed (except for the SDF1), and they had added anime like com pictures. It disapeared after a while. Is this it?

Congratulations... thats one heck of a mixed starship salad.

You won't get flamed. At least you posted this in the right section

[Star Dragon]

Opps I posted in wrong section! This was supposed to go under GAMES as in computer adn all those listed were fro macross only.. LOL!

Well there are LOTS of things going on Especially since I am doing an all mod (as more models get done they get thrown in also), as well as like 5 other mods at teh same time mostly BY MYSELF but there is a stand alone ROBOTECH II project... I am also making missions with he original mod only so you can get a complete feel for the first series, of course it will feel like robotech, but it's part I. I am skipping part II until teh ground combnat can be done (or simply use anohter engien I can learn to mod, but it sucks cause I am NOT a modler and have to mod with the kindness of strangers who donate models or show me where I can accquire some.) Part II is my REF mod, this will be going to Tirol, freeing the innocent populace of Fantoma, as well as liberating 9-11 other worlds and forming of the Sentinels. again ground combat will be skipped unless things change and make it possible, if it does happen I will then include CYCLOES!! YES!

As for anime in general I have been watchinh exclusively anime since 1976 and the two biggest influences on me were Go Nagi and Leiji Matsumoto (Go Nagai made like several robot series that gave birth to transformers and elements of Gundam, while Leiji introduced Battleships in space, long before it was cool.)

So basicly I watch starship or mecha animes with the occasin fantasy or comedy like Ranma or slayers or lodoss war or even HELLSING! I stay far away from FLCL or pokemon or digimon (they waste my time and my neurons) THUNDERCLESE ATTACK! Yes they are stupid but AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE OOWNZ!

Now as for origal Robotech I did almost 1 gig of voice captures, that shoud be enough! I erased the two missions the team did and re-worked it so the two zent ships get blown up JUSt like in the series while YOU are in a veritech patrolling the Armds (so you get a great view of the beam comming fro no-where and obliterating them) you even get to hear fokker and glovals speeches as you fly around on this boring and "routine mission" lol then prepare to see Earth get B-slapped! hard...

nuff said.. L8tr! Modlers mail me please! (my last whine I promise)

You're going to get flamed...for spelling even more painfully than me!

Other than that, sure, go for it. Make sure it's a challenge.
