• Hello and welcome to MSFC. We are a small and close knitted community who specialises in modding the game Star Trek Armada 2 and the Fleet Operations modification, however we have an open field for discussing a number of topics including movies, real life events and everything in-between.

    Being such a close community, we do have some restrictions, including all users required to be registered before being able to post as well as all members requiring to have participated in the community for sometime before being able to download our modding files to name the main ones. This is done for both the protection of our members and to encourage new members to get involved with the community. We also require all new registrations to first be authorised by an Administrator and to also have an active and confirmed email account.

    We have a policy of fairness and a non harassment environment, with the staff quick to act on the rare occasion of when this policy is breached. Feel free to register and join our community.

I posted a thread about this project on the FO site: [highlight]The MSFC Community Mod - FleetOps.Net[/highlight] to set a little interest on the mod. Considering this won't be a passworded mod and will be available in the main area of MSFC's download section I thought it couldn't hurt, for both the mod and the Community here.

You may even get a few more volunteers to help out with the FO code. ;)

Apologies for being absent.... I have been dealing with money issues and waiting to find out when the VA wants to do surgery on a meniscus tear in my right knee from 9 months ago. Also, my reserve unit is downsizing. So, I have 90 days to find a new unit who will take a soldier on profile and an out of date PT test. Fun times.

I like some of the ideas for the Breen backstory. They coud have wanted Earth b/c the climate is conteolled by weather satelites. They could easily convert it to any climate they wanted.

I will talk to a few musicians tonight about helping produce the background music for the breen.... Should be interesting.

I just thought I'd take a roll call here and see how everyone is doing. From the looks of things, the models are coming together quickly. I've just uploaded a model to be prepped, as well as many other models are in the hands of the model dept. When you have time, give us an update on what the other departments have been doing. We have 2 weeks to piece together the beta version. All fine-tuning can be worked out for the final version. I'd like to release the beta on the 31st.

For the beta, we need to have the full race playable. So we need to get things pieced together so we can run the Alpha tests. I will be able to do testing.

For the Beta, I'd like to disable the "other" races, as well as the campaign mode, since we are not able to focus on those. We don't need to push for custom missions, or even have all features or weapons working yet for the beta release. just the basic mod, which does not crash when building models are fighting the enemy (which can only use the Breen as well).

If the ships are complete, the Background Story Team can write some notes on them. Weapons are being worked on.

As soon as we get a concrete ship + station list Sisko and I can start working out stats and techtree. Starfox posted a pic with all (?) of the ships to scale recently, and when we get the nod from the modelling team everything can go ahead.

I'm putting the UI on hold and using the Dominion one as a placeholder while I do weapons.

Hp ointing and lods for the ships have passed level 1 and level 2 reveiws. I just have to run an in game render test to make sure none of the LODs need tweeking and I will be passing them on to the other departments. Stations should follow in 2 or 3 days baring no disasters:cool: For the Beta I recomend using stock FO physics. I have not had time to study how the compressed 2D FO enviroment will effect the movment peramiters yet.

OK everyone... The models are ready. I need all ODFers, coders, and well, everyone involved here to either give Starfox or myself a shout so we can get the next part going.

While I am at it. Please give a round of Cheer to Starfox and the rest of the modeling team for an outstanding job. I don't know of any other mod project that has been able to complete all models for a race mod in this short of a period of time. Great job guys. Please pat yourself on the back for me.

We still need the GUI, ODFs, Sprites and weapons, TTs, background story and stats, etc.

Also, I know we've got a lot to do in a short time. If we miss the end of the year by a month, we can still be proud. Just don't give up. keep hammering at it and we'll have our first ever community mod very soon.

Just a heads up, I'm probably not going to be able to do much until a day or two after Christmas. I'm rebuilding and reorganizing my entire computer and we're going out of town for a couple days.

Wow, never saw this thread before. Very ambitious. Will the mod access the Breen ship(s) already in FO and you'll just add new ships/stations for everything?

Aad released a Breen full race mod years ago. It's all free to use unless you're making all your own stuff from scratch. Just a thought
