Gundam Bf1942 Mod...almost Done!

greyfox5greyfox5 Join Date: 2002-02-14 Member: 217Members
<div class="IPBDescription">Muhahah...</div> This mod has been in development for quite a while, almost 3+ years. We had to change alot because of new bf1942 patches and such, and now are incorperating code from SW and such. Its the only engine we can use with wide open terrain, and options for map wide scaleablility. This mod is being done by a buncha school friends of mine who just have a passion for giant robots whomping up on eachother <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Whats interesting is that the mod is sort of a hybridish RPG/action game. We are not focusing on gundam to gundam combat, we are focusing more on mobile suit vs mobile suit combat, so everything isnt so overpowered. You can cosomize the base mobile suits you recieve with more weapons, armor, tracking systems, radar systems, different looks on the mobile suit, jumpjets ect. All of this requires a massive ammount of modeling (done by me and 6 others!) All this info on modifying is stored on a central server...anyways I have to go because my parents are yelling at me, so by. I will try and post more info later.

    Since this is a "school (heh)" project, we really dont have one. We share files inbetween classes, over ftp's, and the cetral build ftp. Some more info...


    We have two base mobile suits (I am not allowed to release screenshots yet, so I will have to use drawings...but they represent them fairly well.)

    MS-06J Zaku II

    These are the only two, but more are on the way. You can customize these two out the wazzu...like this drawing, representing mine <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    2 pop out 3 barrled 105mm cannons in the arms, 2 x 30 mm vulcan gun, fire-linked, mounted in head. Beam rifle, backup 90mm 40 round machine gun. Ohhh yeah. But whatever jumpjets I put on this sukah...its way to heavy.

    Empty 44.3 metric tons; max gross 71.4 metric tons; mass ratio 1.42

    Heh.

    Nah.....we already have our gundam geek expert, with actual BLUEPRINTS of mobile suits!!! Also, no gundams in the game, just focusing on the Mobile suit vs mobile suit battles...well...devs might get gundams....hehehheh...woo. Anyways, it suprised us when our coder found a way to scale bf1942 maps, without lagging the heck out of the game, we cant make tiny player models, because the hitboxes mess up...badly. One of our maps...and the only one right now, has massive street fighting....whcih gets pretty intense with these things firing artillary down into the streets from the hills above.

    <img src='http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/08thmsteam/rx-75.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

    Yes we have those completed....really wish I could show you guys screen shots, but all my buddies also check the ns forums..

    Sounds pretty cool so far. You'll have to lemme know when its released, I'd definitely like to try it out.

    Quick question: Can you get the beam axes that are common amongst the Zaku mobile suits?

    I looked at the topic and though "let it be the original universe."

    So, yay.

    One thing though... Shouldn't you use the actual GM? the real mass-produced federation mecha? The RX was a proto-type, and was significantly scaled down for the production lines...


    Just a small quarrel that...


    Cause I'll be flyin the Zaku][!!!!
    And for Zeon Artillery, that one mecha from the start of 0083 Stardust memory... forget what it was called, but it was hover-tech, and had only one artty cannon.

    Seig Zeon! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It's called a heat hawk. I imagine if Grey's going to be flyin that decked out zaku, then the actual weapons will probably be put in...

    Actually, yes you can get the heat hawks. Very nasty weapon, plus it glows! We have a shoddy version of it in right now, not skinned. We chose the RX because we all thought the GM looked fugly. Heh. Anyways, thats the
    RX-79[G] Gundam Mass Production Ground Type from 0083, note the MASS production, they were not rare.

    Now onto the units added ONLY for developers...muhahah.

    There will be at least 10 different kinds of base mobile suits in the game, which will be modifyable up to 450 different combinations.

    I would guess we are about...40-50% done?
    Much more modeling to do
    Some nit bits of coding
    Mapping (lots and lots of mappingzors)


    I think the system of close-person team working is going fairly well, all you have to do is pick up teh phone, and ask a guy if he has something ready or not, or when does he think its ready, or even just in the school lunch room, we talk about upcoming goals and whatnot...very fun.

    GM GunCannon... indeed, fairly good for just a GM...

    The GM Guntanks rather stick though...

    And whoever picked the Gelgoug as their's has taste...




    Anyway, If I'm remembering right, Zeon worked in base groups of 3, while the federation (once they got their mecha) worked in groups of 5...
    Zeon had far better mecha, the the Feddies had a higher standard of training...


    And yes, the RX-GM was in 08th, but their parts were rare, because by the end of the series, they had patch-work RX-GM and standard GM parts.




    For the guy who asked what universe:
    The original one, which is concered about the war between a group of colonies who attempt to suceed from the Earth's Federation government. However, the Dutchy of Zeon was far from honourable in their methods.

    In the end, the Federation won the war, it came to be known as the One Year's War.

    Series:
    Mobile Suit: Gundam
    MS:G: 08th MS Team
    MS:G: 0080 The War in the Pocket
    MS:G: 0083 Stardust Memory
    [movie] MS:G: Char's Counterattack

    and a few others that I can't remember.


    Anyway, good luck with the project, sounds worthy.

    thanks, this is what i was wanting to know.

    damn, if the models look accurate (i sincerely hope they should) I'd probably go out and buy the game to play this mod... even though I'd be jealous everytime I see a dev in their special MS... oh well, as long as the MS are customizable I'll be happy.

    The Kaempfer would be my MS of choice...

    MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    Back on topic, the mod sounds better and better every time I come to this thread.

    I'm curious about how players will choose what modifications they want on their Mobile Suit. Will you have to re-mod the suuit every time you join a server, or will there be a special window/menu before you enter a game where you can save your custom MS?
  • greyfox5greyfox5 Join Date: 2002-02-14 Member: 217Members
    We are working on a model modifying GUI system before you join the game. All severs will be linked with the master server, in which all data would be held. Right now, it works, its like downloading a tiny patch. Unfortunitly, it might not when LOTS of people get going at it.

    Me and 6 others, in slightly modified MX's, walking down a street, searching for the evil Gelgoug, which is one of the modelers suit. We were reinacting one of the fight sceens in 0083. I see a flash of blue....fire!! Hundreds of bullets splatter against a wall, and track the movement. But....nothing. We circled around the building....and nothing. WHAM the Gelgoug lands strait on my buddy, swirls around, yanks out teh heat hawk, slices another one of my buddies down, and fires a point blank machine gun blast into another team mates chest. 3 down in less than 7 seconds...holy crap! I turn, and run, yelling for artillary support. Guntanks on the hill fire, trying to track the blue blur following me. Im hit in the back, I swirl around and spray randomly with my 90mm uzi look alike, and get my head chopped off.
