An old idea for a Starcraft MOD

[RedSarge]

Hello, forum members.
No one knows who I am here since I almost never post, for what reason since my SC mods never get finished. Anyways I will be visiting this site a lot if not to check this thread then just to drop by and post.

I have a MOD that I recently restarted and pretty much finished thanxs to IceCC, I would like to know if anybody wants to see it finished or at least play a portion of it.
Sorry to the Warboard staff for just dropping by and making a thread/poll.

I will post a lot of screenshots for all of you to stare at. :D

looks pretty god damn diddly awesome to me, I'd love to dable about with such a MOD! That is... if it doesnt cause you to much frustration to accomplish it.

[LordOfNukes]

It looks interesting, I would be interesting it playing it.

How did you develop the new images with all the different directions they point in so perfectly? Were they pre-made or did you develop them with some art program that allows you to make rotational images?

[MidnightGladius]

Really nice. I saw the original thread for this, but it has progressed greatly, in my opinion. If you have the capacity, I'd say to finish it up.

What is this based on, by the way? From the two names, it could be warhammer, but I can't be sure.

Looks like Warhammer 40k.But I like the ThunderHawk!(second pic)

Does this mean you just want to play it?

The graphics part of modding is what ticks me off.

There is a lot of work required to make a new graphic, since I do not have any of the programs other modders use.

These graphics are from an assortment of Warhammer 40k games, screen-capped, resized and often re-colored. (I use GIMP, so it’s not that bad)

Other modders create 3D model then pictures are taken of it a different angles.

Thanks, a few weeks after that thread was created I stopped working on the MOD.

Due to a very fragile modding program called “Ice”, it sort of killed my mod by constantly messing up custom animation scripts. I recently learned how to use a technical version of the program called “IceCC”; I have had no major problems with the program.

It is based on Warhammer 40,000- a tabletop game created by Games Workshop.

I plan on creating a campaign to go along with my MOD; maps can be made volunteers to help add variety to the campaign. I have yet to even think of a story line for this project.

Everyone likes that model including me. The engine thrust has been removed since then and changed to look more realistic.

[Basan]

Sure would like to play it. (As if I didn't vote. :P) Be sure to link us in here when you finish it, though. ;)

And for those who lost the initial bandwagon (but still want to see the old pic'ies), here's (http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?t=8876) what Midnight' spoke of. :smirk:

Well, it looks like a nice mod so I'd like to see it finished; as for 3D programs to make graphics, get anim8or, it's a high quality, easy to use, free 3D program.

Thanks for the link, I'll be using this program to make some custom buildings.
Its a BIG help, thanks AqoTrooper

[MidnightGladius]

Eh, buildings only face one way, so you should be able to do without a 3d image program for those.

[The_Maker]

either my mind is outta whack from all teh sugar I just ate or something but does the blue thingy mah bobber in the 3 pic look like the Republic Tank from the Clone Wars games? O_o

Maybe a distant realative perhaps?

Perhaps Aqo' was thinkin' of WC3-TFT or related mods. *Cough*Project Revolution*Cough* ;)

Me? RedSarge is who said he'll Anim8or it for buildings.
Besides, I agree with him; even though buildings can be done with Paint or... yuck->Photoshop... it's much easier (and comes out prettier) with a 3D program.

[MidnightGladius]

I'll keep that in mind if I ever decide to do something of that nature.

:rolleyes: Uhm...I'm a Starcraft modder, didn't you think I would know this already?
Any Starcraft player already knows this. :P

3D programs= fancy buildings

Its an Eldar "Falcon Gravity Tank". Its one of the best ground vehicles that they have. Its fast, can take a lot of punishment and can transport troops.

I had just finished totally screwing up the orginal graphics I had by adding purple with a color exchange on a wrong place.
(purple is automatically changed by the SC engine to the appropiate team color.) I was really annoyed by that but don't worry I just fixed it yesterday so it will be in the game.
PS: The Falcon Grav Tank you see in the above screen shot has no muzzle flare or thrust graphics.

I tryed usin paint before but I find it takes too long and the graphic doesn't even look good when I make it.

[RedSarge]

BUMP
The below screen shot is now in better resolution.
Team colors/ engine thrust coming soon and so is more angles.

-AND MORE SCREENS CONTAINING ACTUAL BATTLES!

Lol.Now what are you going to do with the BCs,sige tanks and marines there.It makes the mod ugly.

Only A small amount of units will be replaced.
Marines are staying because they look good with the rest of the uints.
As for other stuff, IDK yet?

[MidnightGladius]

Wow, nice stuff. I'm rooting for this to be finished.

[Aquarian]

Hm...Now maybe make the Eldar's vehicles (especially that ?prism?I can't remember...)smaller.It is a bit too big.

[loads_of_fun]

looks awsome i'll have
to try it when it comes
out

CARP! I gotta get working on this thing.
Unfortunatly modding capabilites have been cut short.
(great more bad/ im lazy news)
The latest patches have successfully killed advanced programs like Memgraft. Memgraft is the best SC program, and essential for elite modding. Yes I know ICEcc and Arsenal Zero are good aswell.

-If anyone can get Memgraft to work on patch 1.3 or? Heck, I don't even know the name of the latest patch! Anyways it may not have extra buttons and the like but its gonna be good.

Any good tutorials on modelling with Rhino 3D? Anim8or isn't very good.

[RedSarge]

BUMP :shiftyr:

I'm getting a bunch of emails about this mod (from people who notice my signature on other forums) I still have all the source files on this and I have not forgotten it.

[Aquarian]

Then...Finish IT!!!!!!!

[MidnightGladius]

Agreed. I want to see this done, as I'm sure many others do.

[RedSarge]

Yes my lord!:worship:
I just had to re-install SC and report a possible Battlenet virus/?
