[Request] A TMP/TLE mod of our own....

[CptBenSisko]

Epytron Omega approached me a few months ago about putting together a TMP/TLE era mod. Now given that Yesteryears is still being worked on from what Ive seen.. and the awesome progress that K_Merse has made on Evolution.. and that hes working on the TMP/TLE era himself, it is quite the resurgence for Armada modding it would seem.

Now a majority of the modding work I can do... and EO has his plate full and is working on some stuff for us as well.. Im looking to see if anyone would like to volunteer to work on some TMP style build buttons for our ships and for some of the research buttons for systems. I can do it myself.. but im stretched pretty thin... with work and all and EO with family. Now I wouldn't expect whomever volunteers to work 24/7.. obviously this would be free/spare time contributions... but if anyone is interested, please feel free to PM me and I can send you what Ive already done... no design is set in stone, so if you come up with something better than what I have it fits the look that we are going for, I would have absolutely zero problem accepting it. Keep in mind, ive secured the permission to use several assets and material from KA2 (guis, maps, planets, etc.) So i would like the style to fit that as well... Thanks in advance to anyone who volunteers or wants to help out. Your contributions will not go unnoticed.

I'd be willing to help out

What happened to the TLE Fighter you posted??

 

[Hellkite]

It got taxied to it's hanger down at the shipyard

 

[Starfox1701]

Ive got some constitutions, Excelsiors and a few other ships ready to go. what else you looking for ?

 

[Terradyhne]

Which races will be in and is KA2, the setting, the mod will be based on ?
I ask this cause i think you can have all my F&E 2 stuff, if it is still worthy for this mod.

using KA2 assets, yes.. guis and maps.. but using different models. im glad you are still around.. i have some ships of yours that i would like to use i believe


going to be federation, klingons, romulans, and cardassians

OK, the models you have, that are from me, you can use as you want.
If its federation, klingons, romulans, and cardassians than i don't have that much to contribute.

 

[CptBenSisko]

I know for example, the D16 destroyer, (TOS and TMP)

I might make adjustments to their meshes if need be, but all original ReadMes will be included.

If you have other stuff available, besides what's on A2Files.. I would be very interested.

I have to think about what else I might need... We are trying to avoid using the KA2 models, simply because we don't want this to look like a simple rip and rework of KA2. Squire put too much work into his mod for me to want to do that. I want this to have a completely different feel. Ships will be Class based and have advantages and disadvantages based on enemies they encounter.

Id also like to officially welcome dvatreknerd314 to the team. And he has already proven a valuable member as he will be developing our system, build and research buttons... Just wait until you see the shots of what he came up. Some of the best Photoshop work Ive ever seen, and puts what I did to shame, I am glad to say.

 

[Starfox1701]

these are my releases based on p81 hulls plus the Imperial hawk BB Sword of Kahless BB and Yamato and Missouri. Now if I remember right Squire used my fed BBs as the starting point for his fed bbs. I dont know if he is using the klingon or romulan ships but he did have permission.

 

[Terra_Inc]

Good luck with the mod! I'd love to contribute, but sadly I'm barely getting any work done these days. Though of course you're free to use any of the sprites I've released here on MSFC.

If you're looking for models, I'd suggest checking out Fireball's work (he was FIREBALL_IV on A2Files), he did some really good TOS/TMP ships. Even better if you could get in contact with the man himself - I know he finished a lot of stuff for Dawn of War, which was never released.

 

[SciFiFan]

You are welcome to use my Strider Class.

 

[CptBenSisko]

Yeah I know Fireball's work.. top notch.

You are welcome to use my Strider Class.

Thanks buddy!

 

[CptBenSisko]

sooo.. reviving this thread.. look for contributors for build buttons and such. Hit me up directly if interested.

 

[Terra_Inc]

Sadly I don't have a lot of free time I can offer right now, but keep an eye on the old files I've been re-uploading. There's some really good TMP/TLE material among them. Apart from that, if you need anything specific, let me know. I might be able to help in some way.

 

[Fireball_IV]

Greetings everyone,

I was browsing to see what communities are around was browsing for some of my old mods and came across this thread.

It's awesome to see some familiar names. I'd really like to touch base and donate all of the content I still have. I have tons of unreleased content including a full TOS Klingon race. I will try and find all native file formats (max and psd) to facilitate improvement and editing.

This may not be a lightning process but it would be very pleasing to see the community enjoy some new content!

I will post some photos of what's available tomorrow.

Capt Sicko I also have buttons and a tmp fed gui and a tos klingon gui!

 

[CptBenSisko]

Holy crap Fireball!!!! Welcome back!! Yea i would love any help that i can

 

[Terra_Inc]

Welcome back! Wow, it's great to see you again. How have you been? It feels like it's been ages since the old days at A2Files. That site is sadly long gone... but a few of us are still here

 

[Fireball_IV]

Good to see you guys too! Glad there's some old faces around!
I've been good; unfortunately I worked on the road for many years and time was sparse.
I've tried to get back into it again but it feels overwhelming because I don't know how to use the newer applications, modding newer games or even something like FO (I'm not sure what the active mods are these days).

Regardless - I've been having some more time and becoming interested; at the very least I'd love for others to be able to enjoy the work I put into some of these unseen mods / ships / stations, etc.

How is everyone here holding up?

 

[dvatreknerd314]

it feels overwhelming because I don't know how to use the newer applications, modding newer games or even something like FO (I'm not sure what the active mods are these days).

We've got a FO mod called the Classic Mod or Super Classic Mod that places the original A2 in the FO engine. It makes modding A2 a lot easier since you're not dealing with the large number of additional features FO added

 

[Fireball_IV]

Thanks man! I'll be sure to check it out. Does it all work okay in Win 10?
Here are some pics of some of the later stuff I did (I had basically completed the Klingons and started the Romulans).

 

[Jetfreak]

Fireball is back in the fray, woohoo!

If you still have the raw Max files of the Connie that would be great for rendering. The A2 version had a lot of smoothing errors by the limits of the Sod format.

Looking forward to all the new stuff incoming!

 

[Fireball_IV]

No problem, where do you guys upload stuff? One drive? I'd be happy to share original formats (psd textures, max files for models, etc) that I can find!

*EDIT* Post Removed by Fireball - I decided I can post pictures in a separate thread as this isn't about my contact but about the TMP/TLE Mod

 

[Hellkite]

"Where do you guys upload stuff?"~ Fireball _IV

Yeah, most people seem to have switched to Fleetops for better compatibility with Win10. I can't speak for everyone, but at least for me it's been working well. Classic A2 is still easily available through the Classic mod, as dvatreknerd314 already said.

How is everyone here holding up?

Ah, what can I say... there have been ups and downs, but overall things have been good. Finished my master's and joined the working population a few years back. But I still hang out here and tinker with Wastelands every now and then, when I find the time (and motivation)

Thanks man! I'll be sure to check it out. Does it all work okay in Win 10?

It's all really good stuff I remember beta-testing the Klingons way back in the day.

As Hellkite said, we have our own Downloads section. The upload function is easy to use. If you have any problems or questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Also, I've just recently uploaded a whole bunch of MSFC exclusive mods that got kind of lost during a file server change a few years back. Be sure to look through the available files, I'm sure there are some things you'll like.
