Title: Starcraft mod
Post by: Xabiar on May 21, 2007, 03:46:30 am

I'm just wondering if anyone else has gotten the idea for a starcraft mod for tremulous?

Once I dreamed I was playing a cross between Aliens vs. Predator, Starcraft, Tremulous, and Rogue Spear. It was pretty crazy.

And I'm sure (http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4353) others have thought of similar things too.

Go ahead, but an original third team would probably be better.  If I could set blender up to export md3s on my mac, I would have tried already. :(

I like this idea, but wouldn't there be legal issues with blizzard?

and anyway, if there was a third race the every one on the first team dead would go to another team. I REALLY like the idea but....yeah.

The third team has been discussed countless times before. Just... freaking... drop it.

Actually, on the topic of Third Races:
You may not discuss it unless you seriously plan on coding it yourself. If you code a finished 3-race mod you may then discuss it to death. If you begin work on it, you may announce it but may not ask for help. However, you may accept help if offered.
In short:
DO NOT ASK OTHERS TO CODE YOUR THIRD RACE MOD

I dont WANT anyone else to code it--I JUST NEED MODELS!!

I have seriously considered making a third race or atleast making it much easier to create.  If I cannot create my models, I will try to screw tremulous.h and a certain part of bg_misc.c.

Anyway, depending on what kind of team it is, the coding might be easier than the modeling.

Well seems like a unfinished mod to me.More like my mod that i tried to start.What a waste of time.I could think of that in 30 seconds.If i did i am a idiot trying to make it in to a mod.If you realize that StarCraft pretty much is Tremulous.Dragoons-->StarCraft And much more than that.So don't waste your time copying a thing to another thing that is the same.n00b i think :wink:

Has anyone ever thought of making some graphic changes, i.e. some new gun/buildable models?

New guns/buildable models have been made.But new graphics will take months maybe even years!~!~!~!~!

So, Morx.  D'ya mind explaining how Tremulous is the exact same universe and game as Starcraft?

I mean, we know that both games have Dragoons (http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Dragoon) that are four-legged mechs that fire antimatter bolts and are crewed by a pilot, but I'm really confused where the similarities end.  It's like they're the exact same game, right?

Seriously, have you ever even played Starcraft?

As well, Tremulous was inspired by Gloom, a Quake II mod.  Not Starcraft, not Natural Selection.  Gloom.

Historically, dragoons are mounted cavalry with firearms. You can connect the dots.
Sorry about that before, I just wanted to make sure you weren't a poor noob asking for a free mod. If you'll code it your-self thats absolutely great. Even if it has functionality without any actual new stuff, its a large step in the right direction.

Exactly. If you can copy human team or alien team to become new side in battle it would be fun to see. After that you prove that you can actualy do the three team system. Of cource this includes that the copied team has seperated tables from orginal so there can be changes done.

Whoever does this is screwed without some layout system unless they can get mappers started NOW.

[off_topic]
Does anyone still use Risujin's layout system?  Or has TJW's taken over by the simple virtue of being in svn.

OBJECTION!

They are Bio-Robots, NOT mechs... because they have a liquid system... Secondly, its not an anti-matter bolt. Its an anti-matter photon cannon AKA Phase Disruptor... Thirdly, the pilot isnt a pilot, but the actual Central Computer which is embedded in the Bio-Robotic machine.

Note: Reason i say its not a pilot, is because the zealot is literally, PART of the dragoon. He basically has no physical appearance, or anything. Just a brain of the zealot technically put.

Have you played SC? cuz ive been playing it for years...

Gloom has so much stuff I want!!!
Humans get medics, huge walker mechs (Not powersuits), and remote detonation charges!!!
Aliens get explosive, fire-breathing, and flying classes!!!
Not to mention Credits --> Build points
