Andromeda Mod?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Hmm...by the pacing of the show, it should be done within a reasonable time of SEV being released.

Yeah Andromeda was only contracted for 5 seasons and unless they come up with a totally new story arc they will not come back for a sixth.


So it'll end some time next year I would kind of be hoping for some andromeda universe ships before that

I've never even seen a complete episode yet. the show does seem interesting, but I don't know much about their storyline and the other info to make an informed opinion. But if a mod is made, I'll play it.

There are going to be a lot of changes in the way SE V uses images when compared to SE IV. Making ship sets for SE V will be decidely more difficult and as a result there will be few of them. I have no intentions of making any sets for SE V. To much work, to much money, and to much time will be required to do so. When something I do for fun becomes like a job, I drop it cold.

Umm... most shipsets for SE4 will be convertible to SE5 easily. All you have to do is convert your models to .x, maybe smooth them out a bit, you are done. Making sets for SE5 will be identical to making sets for SE4, except you won't be able to make sets that are just screen captures from other games and such... though most sets are made from actual models for SE4 anyways.

Okay don't be posting just to knock the show....that's just immature

There is, of course, this thing called freedom of speech... expressing your opinion on something is not immature at all. Saying "it sucks" might be, but expressing dislike of the show is not immature. Personally, I think that Andromeda is a bit on the dull and corney sides.

Fyron: It seems to me that a lot of the shipsets that are out there were done in Doga and Moray, and converting files from those to programs (at least on the moray side for sure) to anything else is going to be a reall pain. Doga should be easier then moray, as it was designed to be part based and import parts made in other programs. Secondly: Doga and Moray area both very simple programs compared to a lot of the more powerfull 3D modellers, also a lot cheaper. I think it will be much as the transition from SEIII to SEIV was, with the number of shipsets greatly decreasing, but the overal quality increasing.

Anyways: Back to andromeda. I enjoyed the early episodes of Andromeda, introduced a lot of cool tech and ideas. Creating a mod could be a lot of fun, I can already see a lot of the techs from andromeda already in SEIV. Unfortunately I stopped watching it during the second season as I thought the show was going downhill. Anyone want to fill me in on whats been happening and if there have been any cool new ships/technologies introduced?

DOGA cannot be used for real-time 3d rendered games unfortunately. It produces models that are too "slow", that is you spend a lot of polygons for little detail. Bryce has the same problem. Moray would work IF you could get it to .x format..which IIRC you can't.
