Thoughts on the Star Trek Mod

from GalCiv2 Forums
First of all i want to say that the Star Trek mod is amazing. They have put sooo much work into it, and it shows. Im starting this thread because the forums we have set up for the mod dont get much traffic... at all. So I thought it would be nice to have a place to talk about ideas and concerns in the hopes of helping those responsible come up with the best Mod EVER!!

And second of all... Let the discussion commence. ENGAGE!!

All i've seen of the star Wars mod are ship packs.
Perhaps we could see some images of tech trees, races, GUI? :LOL:

No matter to me, i've taken work from all of you and turned it into my own personal super mod while waiting for you guys to get finsihed.

:D :D :D :D :D

Any plans to port this to TotA.

I love the previous version, being a big ST fans the Mod is as I see it the game I have been waiting for, for many years which is a sequel to The Birth Of The Federation.

The only problem (and I know it still beta) is that I can never finish a game because it crashes.

Thanks

Everything I did was placed on top of Gauntlets Race mods, then took all of the star trek ships that I liked, did the lights and normal maps on them, then arranged them built a new set of ship styles and race configs.

I did the same for all the star Wars ships, ie. Ships styles, bump maps, lighting, races etc.

And I built a colonial BSG race, though for the medium slot, I retextured the Star Wars Dreadnought ship to look like a BSG ship. I based that on work done by a great texturer over on the Dynaverse SFC forums ( can't recall name )

I then used Movie files from Star Wars Empires at war, Bridgecommander and a trailer from the BSG Beyond the Red Line mod/freeware game, converted to BIK where needed.

Now that TA is out, i'm gearing up to building techtrees, improvements etc for each race.

I should say though, that nothing I've done would be released. I did it for the purpose of learning how to do things, and for making something that I'd like to see. So far, i've not suffered crashes...... but I got side tracked by Assassins Creed, and now TA, so there may be a crash lurking somewhere. LOL

Been a while Foxthree, but did you fix the problems with the Stargate ship pack you did? I managed to get them back onto the right axis for the game, but because i'm not a3D modeller, they caused my game to crash. You had some real beautiful ships in that pack too.

Back on topic.... i'm a registerd member for the Trek mod over on their forums, it's been quiet for a while, but now that TA is out, i'm looking forward to seeing some new stuff. I also like their Sci-fi mix mod, which I have to admit, is the one I want to see the most work done on.... who doesn't want to see a Base Star facing up against a connie or Hatak!!? I've used all of the various versions of the Trek Mod, and i've always really enjoyed the work that was done, and look forward to a TA release.

That sounds like a really cool mod. Though if you want to add some more BSG ships I was playing around with some I found over at the Battleclinic as part of a side mod I was working on that is similar but not nearly as advanced as yours. I would love to play this one some time. Would you consider making it available if nothing else on a case by case bases or something.

Hey Aggie.
A BSG ship pack from what you've gotten from Battleclinic would be great.
I've seen some nice models there, and seeing some extra types of hulls would be great. Though independantly released ship models would be great. It's a shame there is no Battleclinic style place for Galciv. Or that the person who made the Above and beyond hull pieces hasn't done any more work.

I couldn't release any of the stuff i've done on my personal mod because i'd be
stepping on the toes of others, and infringing copyright with other stuff. However, the BSG retextured Dreadnought, which is taken from your work, I can send you that, though the textures are just a cut and paste job. If it's good enough, perhaps you could rename the textures etc, so that you could use the retexture and the DN in the same folder?
I also altered some of the lighting on the Galactica, to make the lights on the hull more visible and less blurred. And i've done a lot of Normal maps and lighting for your star wars ships. So I could pack them up and send them to you, or upload them somewhere. Not sure if the qualities of them would be good enough though.


Glad to know that you're working on the Stargate mod Foxthree.
I was really disappointed that your pack didn't work, and I was also happy to see the stargate mod, but wished to see your ships in game...so this is great news!!
Hope to see a thread opened here with updates in!
