Public Update Thread

I'm am currently out of state and will be working on a few ideas for a short teaser, trying to find a good desktop recorder for that. I hope that it will be good. I have been trying to work on the low poly x304 turrets and am not liking the results. I may just try to use what I have and make the movie. I may just start putting up contests to have things like terrain, planets, etc. for backgrounds and missions. I also need to start working on the UI before to much longer... but until I have a little more help it is a few people doing a large project. Until then I am unsure when I will have a new stuff I am working full time and looking for a new job so this and other projects have once more taking the back burner. But I am still thinking on it... so we are not dead!

Excellent. Looking forward to the trailer.

Well the trailer is taking a little longer than I had hoped to make. I have been shifting between different ideas along with working on the mod itself. Most of what I am doing is tweaking the tables and, more recently,working with the music. I am most likely going to start work on the menu graphics so that it looks like Stargate SG1 and not Freespace 2. All in all... there is still a ton of work to be done.

Well I have hit snags... as usual and am trying to develop an idea for the menu graphics. I have halted all work on the models as well as the the ship and weapon files. I am shifting focus to the other aspects of the mod, it is a total conversion after all. At this time I do not want to give away to much so... hehe

I am looking at getting some of the music I have and trying to get some nice pieces together for a teaser mission... so I'll keep you up-to-date as that gose. i am also looking for anyone who would like to help with the interface portion of the mod check out the looking for staff thread to get an idea of what we need.

Small Update the computer that all the mod files are on has been inaccessible for a few weeks and as such I have not been able to work on the trailer. This is in a large part that my wife and I are moving into our own place. So everything is in the process of being packed for the move.

We will also be without internet unless we go over to my parents house for checking e-mails and forums and the like. I do plan on working on the trailer and hope to have it done by the time we are able to get internet. Until I have access to the files I will try and work on stories lines for the missions...

I miss posted this by accident so just to recap.

First, I would like to apologize for the lack of updates on the mod. My wife and I are in the mist of getting our new home ready for us to move in but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done on it so that has taken a lot of time. Also this is one of three projects I am currently working on most of which I am working on by myself. Despite all this I am still working on the mod.

Second, as I stated earlier I am working on the mod I just haven't the time to psot updates. I work on it and by the time I stop, not finish but stop, I have to get to bed or work or somewhere else and I forget or don't get to post an update about it. Now I will attempt to list some of the things I have been working on... for the mod.

(1) I have been working on the weapon effects and converting them to the .dds recommended file formate. I have even reworked a few of them to look better.

(2) I have recovered all but 2 of the music files kindly created for the mod by RogueAngel. Despite his or her disapperence I have started applying it to the mod. I have also started converting them to the .ogg recommended file formate.

(3) I have been working on new ideas for missions and campaigns in general. I have about 3 or 4 ideas for the campaigns and a ton of ideas for the missions in general.

(4) Models have been a block for some time. I believe we have a good selection of models for the ships and weapons. However, anyone who has at least watched a few episodes battles take place with ships on the ground as well as in space, example... antartica. I have tried to get terrain to work but even the simple generators, even on reduced poly mode, won't work. But I think I have a solution... I'm going to... hehe like I'm going to tell before I do it... yeah right!

(5) Trailer. I have final found a desktop record that could work for me, finally. Anyway I hope to have something working with this in the near future. No time frame at this time... time frame = promise... I promise and don't get it done... that makes me a liar.. me no liar.

Well I think that is it.. yes I think alot and yes I know it is dangerous. If I remember anything or I have somthing new I will try an post it on an update. I am also going to try and get screenshots up soon.

OK So I don't get another announcement about being archived I finally was able to get internet for a while to give this update.

First, Moving has slowed my work but I am constantly running new ideas through my head. As soon as the move is done I am hoping to resume work.

Second, I am working up the plot and happenings of a Lucian Alliance War. This is mostly in my head but some is written down. Other previous ideas will be applied and worked on.

Next, I have been browsing NASA's websites, yes plural, for images I can use to portray planets in the solar system and planets outside the solar system and so on to use as background images.

Right now I am trying to get things in motion to try and get more rapid development of a demo going.

That is all for now so I guess I'll go look for more pictures.

Any news regarding the promised teaser jc? if your MOD could attract more of a croud, perhaps you might find more recruits...

I figure that with the New Year I should provide an update.

First to starlord, the teaser is still in production stages I am not happy with the way any of them are looking and changes to FSO has resulted in me having to go through an redo certain effects.

Second I am rebalancing the ship and weapons tables I noticed the other night that the 304 was way to powerful and was taking out ha'taks with little to no damage to the shields. yes the asgard shields are powerful but taking on 2 ha'taks and not taking damage is just unbalanced. that is just one example.

I am in the the process of looking for upgrades for old my computer so i am hoping development will go faster when I do.

anyway just letting you all know i am still here and am working on teh mod

Well due to problems with my desktop, I have been restricted by how much I am able to work on the mod. I believe that it is on its last leg and upgrading it will be mandatory very soon.

I am trying to work on a few things that are not reliant on the information and file on that computer. Backgrounds being on of them, I have been trying out a few online tutorials on how to make nebula effects, plants and the like. It is very time consuming but some of the effects I am looking at is incredible.

Well that is all for now, laters.

Well I figured it is time for an update. I have been working on the nebula and other background stuff with limited success. I am also thinking of some other stuff too much for even me to fully list.

I am still having trouble with my desktop that has the primary files on it, but I am working out a solution to extract them onto an external drive so I can work from any computer, partially eliminating this overall problem.

Well that is it for now I will be looking onto posting some of my less than wonderful attempts at nebula later, I suppose.

Hi, im a stargate fan, and have been keeping an eye on this.
Also, i know that moving isnt easy, so much stuff to move, and if your moving long distances, it can take a while. Good luck with your new home, and hope everything is working out for you.

Well a minor update. I have been very busy with work and the new home but i have been doing some major research on some information concerning SG1ED. I also have been working on a some much needed updates on the website. However I have not as of yet been able to get our new log-in info. As soon as I can get that information I will try to get an update on the website setup.

on another note I will be leaving today for a much needed vacation to Michigan, US. I am in a toss-up as to whether I should take my laptop or not. I need a chance to relax but i am also wanting to work on some projects including SG1ED.

Anyway I have been thinking (hear, there, at work and the like, when i can think openly) of some simple combat missions to try and just show case the mod. I am also in a position to try and upgrade my computer. I am hoping that within the next month I will be able to continue working on the mod on a regular basis.

well that is all for know I suppose. See you all later, or next week whichever is the case.

Well update time. Everything and I mean everything (except working, sleeping and house renovations) has been brought to a standstill (mostly because of the renovations). This means my computer is still packed up and safe from the sawdust and anything else that could destroy it.

I still have a great deal of things I am ready to implement, including alterations to the weapons and ships tables. balancing anything is always difficult.

anyway that is all for know I hope to have better news soon.

most of the damaging work is done. However I am still not able to unpack my computer. We have to finish a room and then I can unpack it. work is making this hard but I am very excited about being able to work on the mod soon.

Well I think an update is past due. I am still trying to get access to the website since the switch over. On a down note my computer is showing signs of dying, the graphics card is not working at all. I have over the last few weeks been working on the mod, finally. I was working on re-balancing the weapons and fixing some glitches with some of the textures and graphics. Anyway I am going to be looking for a sub statue for my now not working graphics card.

I put this in the wrong thread so here it is for those who look here.

Well, Time, past time really, for an update. my new system is up and running and I am hoping to get started on working on the mod again here soon, my laptop is acting up and that is just another thing. I hope to have more details soon.

Well I have been working on several things including fixing some issues with the effects and damage ratios on a few weapons. I am once Again attempting to get some game play for your viewing pleasure so I hope to get something... anything in fact. More Update to follow soon.... I hope.

Yay
