Armada2Files MOD News

[IKS]

Ok.. Zero Hour news done! (I nearly put it up on Legacy Files by accident!)

[Ragnar]

Heres a news item for the Battlefleet Gothic mod

Hello there. Its been a while since Battlefleet Gothic has had an update, a lot of you probably thought it was dead. Alas, it is not, the Immortal Emperor forbids me from giving up on this holy project.
Pretty much a summary of what has been done since the last update...nothing. I haven't had the time to work on it, though now the summer holidays are here again I hope to continue this and release something. I've been learning the in's and out's of texturing, and I've got the hang of it now so ships and stations will look more real instead of a boring metal texture.

Also, I'm looking for one or two people who could help me on this project.

Jobs that I would like:
- A modeller for stations of the Imperium and Chaos, and the ships of Chaos (you could use my pre-existing Chaos cruiser hull as a base to work on the other cruisers), otherwise, you have free reign over your creations as long as they ARE canon. Plus, your work should be of a decent quality, and they should look as close to their canon counterparts as possible. Not asking much at all there....
- A 'Jack Of All Trades' who can do GUI's, ODF's and other little bits and pieces. This role could maybe be split amongst two people.

Of course I would supply you with necessary materials such as PDF format rules for ships and weapons (also they're free on the Games Workshop site, if you know where to find them).

If you want to apply or inquire, post a reply in this forum http://forums.filefront.com/st-a2-mo...-ships-25.html or PM me through that. I would post my email address but the scoundrels of the 'Net would steal it lol.

Thanks, Ragnar

Thanks for posting

Star Ocean: Executioner Assault

Back in Action

A few of you may have noticed I’ve (Adam_Atlantian) been active in the forums lately. Due to a very nice real life stroke of luck I have some free time again and I've been hard at work on reestablishing the Star Ocean Project. My original Star Trek folder got a little jumbled due to some technical errors, but the models and things weren't damaged, So I've been salvaging everything out of the Federation and Borg races and reinstalling them into a fresh Armada Install.

It has been long, but overall I've reduced the size by a lot, so it'll make for a much smaller download than the original I think.

Everything has new build buttons and Wireframes, so expect a little bit of a different look in some areas of the control panel while playing. I'm working on a new GUI for the Pangalactic Federation and Veendeni races, so they will be completely original and have no affiliation to any of the other race's GUI.

As of right now I have a fully completed Federation and fully completed Borg; All I have left to do is finish up the Veendeni and P. Federation. This means two very different things though; once I complete the Veendeni (which will be completed first) I will release the full race Mod for Armada 2. The same is true for the P. Federation. The Armada 1 version, however will kept under wraps until I have completed the new intro movie and a number of other small touches.

Please Notice that I have revamped the Website for the Mod. It can be found here:

http://starocean.adam-atlantian.com/

As of right now, I'm still working on the Borg Catalog, but the Federation's is finished. I did relaunch the site a few days ago, but I only just now got a chance to tell anyone.

I take a bit of pride in my Special Weapons, and as such I thought I should mention what I've been working on. I'm still trying to get fighters that fire weapons; I think I might be getting closer too. Most of you have seen the Hell Fire Cannon, not really a big innovation there, but it has a nice flaming ball of death effect. I'm getting an interesting Nebula Cannon worked out. I'm trying to balance the power of the weapon with a super weak ship, cause if you manage to get inside an enemies base and fire this weapon, it hits everything, and I mean everything, with red nebulae.

Balance is a key point I'm trying to emphasis this go round. Each race has a rather powerful range of weaponry that needs to be balanced in a way that you can't just zip into an area and wipe out the enemy. And these super weapons are a must, because I'm keeping the Executioners in the game. While a few fleets of high-end ships can take on one or two of the 4D beings, when you start encountering five or six of them at a time, you will have to have some sort of piercing attack.

That's all the news on the Star Ocean mod at this point. You can expect some big releases here soon. I'm very close to completing the Veendni. Heck, I was close before I vanished.

On A Side note, Star Ocean: The Last Hope (the next installment of the RPG series) has been announced and a trailer has been released onto the Internet with some brilliant shots of new ships and a station. The game isn't scheduled for any kind of release until 2009, but you can be assured that when it does, you all will be seeing those designs hit Armada and Armada 2 quickly.

And a big thanks to anyone who is still interested in this Mod.

[Ragnar]

This is sweet. I've seen the trailer for SO4 and I was overly excited lol.

Looking forward to seeing what you have next

[Dan1025]

Same here, can't wait to see the mod released and I'm glad to hear you're still around

[Aerilon]

Adam, various links on your website don't appear to be working. The one coming from the Federation Logo, and the Gallery link in particular.

Nice to see your project progressing too, just thought I'd mention them above notes, help you get the site going for when more people read the news.

[Adam_Atlantian]

I don't think I understand what you're talking about Ash. I just checked them and they all go where they're supposed to. I don't think it would affect it, but I did make the site for Firefox, it should work fine in IE though. Note that the Gallery link on the bottom of the page has noting to do with the Star Ocean Project.

STAR TREK Enterprise TC update
------------------------------------------------------------
First of all i havent had much time to make this mod so not much is done. So heres the update.
------------------------------------------------------------
The races havent been decided for definate apart from Humans and Klingons who will be in the mod. Each race will have a refit and a prototype for every ship.
------------------------------------------------------------
Most Human ships and some other race ships will not have shields unless you have reserched everything. After you have reserched everything you will need to build the upgraded vessel.
------------------------------------------------------------
Torpedos will be different. To fire a torpedo it will cost special energy. Each ship will have different amounts of special energy, e.g. the small the ship the less and the bigger the ship the more. You will be able to recharge your special energy.
------------------------------------------------------------
Heres the Human ship list at the moment:-
NX Prototype
NV Prototype
NW Prototype
NX Class
NV Class
NW Class
NX Refit
NV Refit
NW Refit

I still need to get permission for some models and other stuff needs doing.
------------------------------------------------------------

Well thats the update. Missed anything?
