A Little Guidance Please

[Rizzen_Fenix]

I'm just getting back into SC after an extremely long break from the game. I don't get into the online play aspect, as I enjoy playing out a storyline more than climbing a ladder (or falling off of one :) ).

What I'm looking for is a SC map or campaign based on the Stargate movie/series. Anyone seen one, or have plans to make one? I've done some searching, but most StarCraft/Stargate searches come up with Protoss strategies. I've even dabbled some with the editor, but my finished product plays alot like a family portrait drawn by a pre-schooler looks.

Anyway, if any of you know of a map/campaign that might relate, please let me know.

Thx,
RF

I've never seen the movie, although I'm thinking of making an RPG of StarGate SG-1. Don't hold me to my word, but it may be possible for that to happen ;).

Sorry dude... never thought of THAT one! I've got many maps of many different movie themes, but never really got into the Stargate thing... hmmm....

Could i make Stargate SG-1 RPG for SC? Sure. But it woudl take lots of Time (reasearch into the continuity, for starters... i've seen less than 20 eps), and What little time i use for mapping goes to my Evangelion SC map at the moment.

[siuloongbao]

its been done before, and very complicated maps they are. Mostly ppl just mass asgard motherships or death gliders.

If you've never seen the maps and went them i can look for them for you.

oh wait i lied, theres been Stargate ums, but no RPGs yet.

What would u like to know?

Yeah, I found Stargate maps in the Starcraft.org archives. But that's before the site was given a new look.

[Basan]

It's extremely doable. Especially over the series (SG-1), as Spdstr said. ;) (The series are gettin' played again here, but this time the latest ones.)

Eh, I've even got an unfinished one from my uncontinued mapping projects (that still might get worked over) but 'till am in the mood to finish it, will keep that beta close around to sharpen it's edges (based it on the SG-1 universe but with my own plot sorta unrelated from the series/movie flick).

Actually, I've only recently gotten into SG-1 and have seen most of the earlier episodes. Sci-Fi Channel + DVR = alot of wasted time on my part. :D


Spdstr - SG-1 basically picks up a few months from where the movie ends, possibly a year. I have yet to see the first episode, but there is a ridicuously detailed episode log on the SG-1 website. http://www.sg1archive.com

Hikari - Time and research indeed. I wouldn't ask anyone to take away from an ongoing project such as yours...I'll have to check it out sometime.

siuloongbao, THEL - I swear I checked the Starcraft.org archives, but I'll have to do some more digging this weekend.

Basic Storyline for SG/SG-1 RPG
Episode 1 (from SG) - Discover stargate, travel to Abados, kill Ra, leave Dr. Jackson behind to get married...

Episode 2 - SG-1 plot begins and so-forth...

You could pretty much spend eternity just putting the 8 plus seasons into a Starcraft MOD.


Wow, I got rambling there. :o Really I was just looking for a map or two, maybe a couple of interesting MODs to SC units, just to wet my appetite. The Protoss stargate got me thinking about it...just too much of a resemblance to the SG-1 gate to pass up.

[siuloongbao]

I think Stargate: Atlantis is a better idea to mod and work an RPG off of. Its storyline is sketchy and undeveloped of late, mostly cuz its a new series. You can work off that. maybe you can use the stuff about the Wraith's experiements on humans. Or the actual original war between the Ancients and the Wraith.

As for Stargate: SG1...

I know tons, just ask lol. I got into stargate awhile ago, 3 years ago maybe. Maybe you can use the Jaffa Rebellion to start up an RPG? Speculate on the origin of the Goauld? Origin of the Nox? Theres tons to work with if you can flesh it out and experiement with its viability

[Hikari256]

I wouldn't use a protos stargate. I'd use the floor trap, so you get an "iris", and use the "recall" sprite to make it look like a stargate opening.

But meh, i have Eva to work one... I hate terrianing.
