Matrix Games Forums

it should be out soon

IF.. IF I can get the hosting, I WILL release this dat uncompressed, then it will be up to the community to take it from there.

I want to persue my own universe, my own ideas, and my own story... but.. I didnt feel right without at least STARTINg the b5 mod because starshatter is SO set for something like this.

I"m guessing.. 500 megs uncompressed probably... if you guys know where I cna get hosting for something like that tell me.. its 250 or so datted.

so.. if there are guys out there who would like to pick it up from where I will leave off feel free to step up now.. I will still help out from time to time by adding ships and stuff.. but there is only so much you can do wtih somebody eles universe:)

I will send you everything I have, even the max files with original PSD files if you have the space, and the excell balance sheet

with max files and psd files tho, you are easly looking at 2-3 gigs.. I made the textures at 2048x2048 for originals

I hope you understand I wont send this to 100 + people, id like some sort of organized group and I"m more then willing to wait 3-6 months for such a gropu to come together, but I figured I would post this now so everybody knows where I stand on the issue

as for now, since I have NO real computer.. I"m gonna spend time planning project alpha.. there is a lot more to that project then a simple mod, but thats for another time..

Later

(ps, p3''s 400 mhz computer suck lol)


ps.. I'll also include the forum/site for anybody who wants it, its a phpnuke site, with a mysql database so you can set it up anywhere pretty easy.

For hosting you may wont to look here hosting option:NeoTechGaming
They offer a free service for site under 25mb and over that a small fee applies. the link above descrides all that.

I really am looking forward to this mod. It is one of the many reasons i bought this game. I'd be interested in help with its further developement, just not sure how i could yet: i can model but my texture skill are a little weak and i have not explore the involved world of def files yet. In time we'll see how it all works out, the interest is there.

I cant contribute to further development of the mod, but I can offer hosting and a forum for the designers to exchange ideas. JeF from the dropzone has asked us to host some HTTR stuff so I guess StarShatter wouldnt be a problem.

PM me or post on the WorldWarHQ boards if we can help.

Thanks guy, I will contact you, but not rigt away, I"m so far over my head trying to rebuild my computers right now its funny.


I know a lot of people are looking forward to this or bought ss for this mod(I get a ton of emails) so I in no way will ever totaly walk away from this mod.. but right now, its basically me... and thats it.. id like to get some people together who could help out, balance it, do some testing, build missions, basically take the ball and run so I dont have to have my fingures controling the entire thing, and I can sit back and offer advice, and steer it in the right direction, and model ships every now and then. the other guys either lost interest or are really bogged down with real life.

One thing I would like is to keep the main site/forum.. just transport it to some other host.. I like the unique feel it gives.

(looks around- wispers....me)

For hosting, submit it to places like Fileplanet or Fileshack.

good plan

i'm thinking of releaseing parts of this at a time, so I can get the finished ships done and out

right nwo this thing is in pieces. this happened at the worst time I had just started to finishing up the final parts

most ships have problems.. wrong lights.. to big, not in the right places.. not all the guns in, pictures missing, no sounds.. it goes on and on.

the addition of the original hold the line version 301 ships is a GREAT boost, it has added some 32 ships.. but thats 32 more for me to go through lol

i"m going to put something together that has the ships needed for a small set of missions and some fun by the fans.. then release the others maby once a week or something.. to slowly get them out and add ships for fans bo build missions

what I -really- want to do is get that started.. then focus my free time and construction of the dilgar war universe and ships.. thats goign to be our major flagship release, and a lot more then just a few ships and missions
