"Well, if that's the only way, I'd live with clicking"

When I say a lot of clicking I'm not kidding. Currently it would take 250 LS components to balance out a SD using Destroyer-sized LS.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">There is a new one, "War of Honor"
Where can I get a copy of the Honor H. Mod?

killer out</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hmm, actually there are 10 books with 3 other books set in the HH universe: "More Than Honor" "Worlds of Honor" and "Changer of Worlds"

I've read both "More Than Honor" and "Worlds of Honor" as well as starting the series. I'm about done with "The Short Victorious War" and look forward to the rest of the series.

I bought "War of Honor" from the local B&N... though I found it cheaper on Amazon. As a bonus, the book comes with a CD-ROM containing all HH books in electronic format, and also cover art, and other graphics. The books are in multiple formats: HTML, MS Reader, Rich Text, and two other eBook reader formats.

It was a good deal for me since I haven't been able to find all the books.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">for grit, i am using standard size control components, and requiring 1 per 500KT or fraction thereof. it balances fairly well, i think DNs take 14 and baseships take 30 each of crew/life support.

The only problem with this is the really large size jump. It goes:

400
800
4000
6000
8000

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

it looks like you could either scale them to require one per 400, or one per 1000. you would need 20 of each for your 8000kt hull if you required 1/400, and sized the components appropriatly. thats not too much clicking, in my book. (especially since my starbases take 30 each, in GritTech..)

anyway, im working hard on getting Version 0.11 of GritTech out, which should fix alot of problems in the 0.1 pre-release (which you can download from the Grit-Tech thread, and take a look at, if you like).

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

Question: do you guy have the Manticore or PRH graphics?

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

In my case the answer to both would be "no".

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Other than the cover art from the books, is there any reference material?

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

There is some on the inside of the Ashes of Victory Hardcover; perhaps on the inside of the other hardcover books as well. Other than that, none that I know of.

The covers and illustrations are often considered bad representation..the covers at least rarely match the book descriptions.

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

What a surprise.. I was looking around at the SE4 mod scene to kill a few hours, and I find a whole bunch of people talking about a HH mod for the game. I've actually been working on a barebones realtime game based in the HH universe, to see where it goes. Anybody who's interested in getting involved with such a thing can email me at Sessile1@hotmail.com. My credentials are basically that I've been a game programmer on 2 shipped games, and am working on a team making a third. I'm also a huge Weber/4X game fan. I've about half completed a game design, and will need people who can do decent art and sound assets, as well as some design help (building missions, ships, components, etc.) I'm going to focus on building the engine and toolkit, which is mostly specced out at this point. Anyhow, if this is even remotely interesting to any of you, email!

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

I think I'll make Honor Harrington shipset. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Right on both counts. There is a complete, scaled chart of both ships (from LAC to SD) and missiles in one of the books. Dimensions and masses are listed. There is also a complete discussion of the technology and how it works. Can't remember which book, though....

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

I finished all warships and fighters. Hope to finish the rest soon. Here is what I have made so far. Any comments ?

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

Looks good. Not too fond of the pop portrait, but then I'm not too fond of any of the cover art. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The fighers should techniclly have the same general shape as the ships, but then they'd look a little too similar I think..

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

Thanks! I spend a lot of time on internet looking for a good portrait. I have only paperback books but best covers appear to be on hardcover. If anybody could scan covers... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Yes, fighters should also have hammerhead body but I just want more variety in pictures http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

I think this one is much better http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif "

Much. Its not only facing the viewer there's no yellow circle. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

Yes, it is from Basilisk http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I finally found a way to get big nice pictures of book covers - go to Amazon, find an item, then click on "more details", It will usually display the big cover picture http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

As a FYI, the Baen CD on the copy of War of Honor is freely (legally..gotta love Baen) copyable (only read the Last few pages of the thread, sorry if it's been mentioned), and has all the HH books on it.

If anyone wants it, I have it up for DL. E-mail me for the web address.

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

Is it really ? I thought it is for personal use only and can not be destributed freely !? But I did't read any legal stuff actually http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Just assumed it. Way to go, Baen !

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

Nope, you can freely distribute it as long as you don't charge http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The CD on _Hells Faire_ will be the same, and it's got a LOTA D20 RPG on it. The fact I'm plugging it has NOTHING to do with the fact I'm lead QA on the RPG project. Honest.

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

Just an enquiry (i.e. not to be taken as anything negative) but is this mod nearing completion or has 'development' stalled (I know there were some real problems with being able to reasonably simulate some of the weapons and technology)?

I only ask as I'd love to be able to play it and have been nipping in every now and again to see how things were going http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .

Re: Honor Harrington Mod Discussion
 

No http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif I don't think it'l be ever finished...
too ambitious i guess.

As a compensation, of sort, I'm trying to mod a very
heavy drone/missile manticore Ai for proportions mod. Quite difficult should I say.

Devlopment has been canceled, at least my Version. Too many problems with SE4 I can't find ways around; principally with the drones.
