[Help] I Need Source Files....

[USS_Excalibur]

I am currently trying to develop a mod. But its not even close to being transfered to the Game Engine yet. What I need is the following to help me with development:

- Latest Fleet Operations Download
- FO odfs (with examples of most if not all codes; weapon types of both beam, torpedo, and classic style pulses; ships/stations; physics; and race odfs)
- I am only having access to a full range in Federation and Cardassian. However I need stations and ships to fill in the gaps of the following races:
- Romulan
- Klingon
- Dominion
- Other more minor races

Here is my concept of what I have so far:
TOS/TMP Races:
- Federation
- Klingon
- Romulan
- Xindi Alliance (NPC at the moment, but hope to make them a full race if possible)

TNG Races:
- Federation
- Klingon
- Romulan
- Orion (I like the TMP Era Orion ships from SFC1 and STU the best; I'd like the race to be based off of those configurations)
- Cardassian

Post-TNG Races:
- Federation
- Klingon
- Romulan
- Cardassian
- Dominion
- Breen (integrated with the Dominion)
- Species 8472 (full race if possible)
- Myh'hridad (a non-canon race that I am planning on developing; details will be provided soon)

I also need a modeler. But of course this is a low priority/personal mod. But I will allow any content made for the game to be released to the site. And if I ever finish this mod... I might release the complete mod.

First off, good luck with your project, secondly you won't get a modeller they are either all too busy with their own projects, retired, busy with real life or just taking a break or not interested in devoting time to a full mod. Unfortunately the A2 Modding community isn't as active as it once was and most modellers have moved on. I am pretty much one of those now days too.

Also anything FO including the mod and odf files can be found on the FO web-site. Best to go there for anything and everything FO. As for the other items such as stations and what not, again FO has heaps as does other mods like AOW, BIVR etc. Go check them out on Filefront.

Why is it that you need our help to get the FO files? They are available nearly everywhere.

Source files? I do not understand. From the little you've posted, it looks as if you're going to totally revamp something from top to bottom. As in TC mod. There are no 'Source Files' for FO. Just the files Doca and OPTEC and others have created. If you are asking for the .exe file to be decompiled, this means the mod cannot be hosted publicly by any site as this is a violation of the EULA. It is okay to do so privately for ones' self as long as no one else has or acquires a copy. Even by honest mistake.

It looks to be an ambitious project. The current maximum number of factions A2 will support is fourteen. I've no idea how many FO will allow. So with 21 races listed already, is this going to be multiple mods? There is a great deal of work ahead either way. I took the better part of eighteen months to get BSGHRM v1.0 out. And this was with a bunch of people being very generous with their time and the meshes they'd made. It would still be languishing in the dungeons of my HDD if kjc733 hadn't taken an interest and helped out. BSGHRM v2.0 is all his, but he based it on what we'd already done so he had an eighteen month head start. Please understand I am most definitely not trying to discourage you.

My A2 disc finally cracked beyond repair and I'll not spend the ridiculous money people are asking on EBay to replace it. Nor will I acquire a hacked copy. Other than this, if there is anything I have released publicly which you think may help out, please feel free to use it as you see fit.

What I mean is that I need odfs to use as examples with examples of all codes used in FO. That is what I mean by source files.

Dominus Noctis has a website with exactly what you've described yourself needing on it. Very polished and professional grade work, he has done too. Wish more people did this quality of work on a lot of things I like on the Web.
He explains all of the currently useable FO codes and has an example of each listed. Should go a long way towards giving you the start you're looking for.

BTW, Dom's website was enough all by itself to get me to D/L, install, and try out FO.
