Galactic Conquest

A_I · July 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Do you have BF1942?</div> OH, I hate to do this, but I promised the guys over at GC I would.

Do you like Star wars?

Do you enjoy playing Battlefield 1942?

Or do you just like killing imperials/rebels for no apperant reason?

If you answered yes the you should go to <a href='http://www.swbattlefield.jolt.co.uk/' target='_blank'>http://www.swbattlefield.jolt.co.uk/</a> for all your starwars cravings! THere are currently 2 horribly made movies out, and plenty of screenshot eyecandy for public viewing. No obligation to join, either read the forums and watch for news updates almost every other day. Or you could make a free subscription and join in the forums, posting new ideas/asking questions!

Did I forget to mention that this is a FREE modification for BF1942? it's free <i>AND</i> better than Jedi Knight 2 (IMHO)

Fly around in tie fighters and tie bombers, X-wings, A-wings, and even the Milenium Falcon with plenty of details making it possible to walk inside! All these vehicles plus too many more new vehicles weapons sounds and characters! The original characters like Luke, Han, and the princess will not be featured because of copywrite issues...

Remember, thats <a href='http://www.swbattlefield.jolt.co.uk/' target='_blank'>SWbattlefield.jolt.uk/</a>, for free, nonstop gaming fun!

(PS):This mod is not coming out for at least 3 more weeks, please be patient and it will be out in no time!

Finally. I've been waiting for this for so long.

It's going to be awesome... I'm an expert with planes, in Desert Combat and regular Battlefield...
So it looks like anyone who's going to play in a server where I am is going to get VOIP!ed, burnt or dead. Well, I think you wouldn't need Stingers to take out fighters with lightspeed rifles, either.

A_I · July 2003

are you part of the forums? I'm sure you could make some valuable posts and ideas there. Just don't spam/flame and everyone there is nice.

Chopper_Dave1 · July 2003

Eck, I've stopped waiting for this mod. The entire team is full of perfectionist ****. They're like "Well, we have a game that's functioning very well, with 6 weapons and 5 vehicles, but because the AT-ST walking animation doesn't quite look right, we're going to delay beta release for another 100 billion gillion years while we sit on our butts and wait for the SDK's so we can complete the game to satisfy our own vision." Look, I don't CARE if it's buggy. I don't CARE if it's not optimized all the way, or that the animations are a little off. Counter Strike didn't come out like that, and neither did Desert Combat. I wish they'd just bite their collective lip and RELEASE a stupid alpha. They'd gain more fans from the release then they would lose due to the game not being perfect.

A_I · July 2003

it'll be out in a few weeks-you should join up again, its coming faster and harder than an underground electromagnetic train made of diamonds.

Chopper_Dave1 · July 2003

P.S.

It won't be out in three weeks. They'll find a reason to delay it, again. Last time they tried to release it they all decided it wasn't worth trying, and I bet it'll happen again.

coil · July 2003

I'd be surprised if Lucasarts doesn't nail this one to the ground... I've never heard of them being freebie-friendly before.

Believe me-it's almost done. They are planning the new teaser (with moving pictures and sound) and it will be the final one. There is also a teser thats horrible quality, but everything in it seems done. Take my word for it-its almost done. I also heard from a dev that they will release it this summer no matter what-thats even if id isn't finished totally.

(PS): My rank in the GC forums is now "Sometimes Deadly"! w00t!

DOOManiac · July 2003

Hmm. doesn't look that great so far, but by the time it gets looking good it'll just be foxed anyway...

Why do people still waste their time with other people's I.P. w/o permission? 10 Years of foxing and going strong...

What do you mean it doesnt look that good?! It is AUSOME! It is currently better than bf1942! I think you should look around on the website a little more. I highly recomend this! Download it even if oyu have doubts-you can allways delete it, right?

(PS): there are no illegal issues or copywrite breaches in this game if thats what you mean by "foxed"

RPG_Jssmfulhud · July 2003

I have to agree with A.I. ... Those pictures just make me drool all over. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

dr_d · July 2003

I have this mod for HL that let's you fight Navy Seals as Space Invaders, it's really cool. You start off as this builder guy and you run around trying to collect goo by connect this little pools of goo to your main spawn pool with this fleshy hoses, and once you get enough goo you can become a bigger Space Invader and the Navy Seals have to destroy your spawn pool before you kill them all.......

what do you guys think?

RPG_Jssmfulhud · July 2003

Any screenies would be welcome. But sounds interesting. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

o.O Its Star Wars. The whole thing is a copyright breach. And yes, Lucasarts actively goes after mod teams and shuts them down, they've been doing it since Star Wars DOOM.

To be fair, I went back and looked at the screenshots page, and yeah there's some neat looking stuff there. Its just on their main page they have crappy shots. (like of that Tie crashing, just doesn't look good at all).

Still gonna be foxed though...

RPG_Jssmfulhud · July 2003

True, unless they got some uber-powers to beg for permission, they will be foxed. A shame, so much work scrapped. I've been in a mod that got foxed and it's not a pretty sight.

Anyway, better to lay it off, then get sued...

Liku · July 2003

Ohh! Star Wars, coolies, I'll be sure to check this out. Now if my computer ran Battlefield well...

A_I · July 2003

I was asked to post this...

I notice that a lot of you are saying that we are going to get "foxed". We have already had trouble from lucas arts and they are leaving us alone. As to being "perfectionist ****" I'd just like to say that we are trying to make a game that has the right feel and we don't want to release a buggy game. We are closer to releasing a TC than any other mod out there, so just be patient and hang in there . We have only been working strongly on this mod for a few months now, first work started in January, but most of the team joined in the last three months. We will be releasing this summer and we already have a internal date. All of the latest screenshots from ingame (most taken from myself) were during a battle we had for fun. Most of the explosions and other effects that might look funny are because they happened at a funny time during the explosion, ingame they looked great and the screenshots don't give them the deserved credit.

Comprox · July 2003

This is the 2nd Star Wars mod currently in development, also being worked on is the amazing <a href='http://www.troopers.jolt.co.uk' target='_blank'>http://www.troopers.jolt.co.uk</a> and that has been running for a long time also without being shut down. Either teams are learning how to dance around copyrights very nicely, or LucasArts is giving in a little understanding that a mod can do wonders for the franchise....

A_I · July 2003

I think "Troopers" looks like something pulled out of a JK2 game.

Mullet · July 2003

Im not too familiar with the whole being "foxed" idea...Are you guys refering to when fox interactive (i think thats what it is) tried making the new AvP addon natural selection, but couldn't, because of Natural-Selection already being Trade Marked by Flayra?

Anyways, If THAT is what foxed means, I'm pretty damn sure that new mod will be FOXED, unless they have some connections with LucasArts.

*****Dr. d - does this mod have a site that I could go look at? Sounds kinda interesting! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

BTW : I hate BF1942...its not 56k friendly <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> *cries*

Actually CompRox Troopers has been in development longer, and the Demo will be out July, 14th (pwn). Also Its nothing like JK2 but more like tactical imperials vs. rebels...

Gadzuko · July 2003

One of these days I'm going to buy BF1942, just for the mods.

I beta test Troopers ^_^

yay me ..

My good friend and <a href='http://www.clantmbj.com/' target='_blank'>"Clan"</a> mate ShroomDuck is a mapper/sound guy for Troopers and my other <a href='http://www.clantmbj.com/' target='_blank'>"Clan"</a> mate and good friend is the PR guy - Viper Eye.

Troopers focuses more on the battle between the imperial forces and the rebellion (blasters) then it does on the force and light sabers (which, as far as I'm aware - are no where in the game).

It's going to be a blast and I hope Lucas doesn't catch it before there's at least one release ... if at all.

SillyGoose · July 2003

I...hate...you...

I mean you get to playtest NS2.0 and Troopers? Thats not cool.

Indeed. Sure you'd get to play NS, but you'd find yourself dreaming of cartoon girls named Rei every night. ;)

Well, "Dr. D" does not have an I.D. or registration for this mod. BUt I think if you look at my first post-the topic starter-you can find a link to the mod page.

Scythe · July 2003

This mod looks mildly cool.

I would think they'd have to be on pretty friendly terms with Lucas Arts to be able to pull this off.
