Hello:
I was able to see the videos, I very happy to see new campaigns done for the game, a feeling I have not felt since I first played the game years ago.

Keep it up!

Extremely well put together and of a professional standard I have yet to see in this community. The clip that came before the mission 1 text was very well done and I got me interested about what was to happen next. Once you get this all sorted I will be sure to re-install FO and check it out. :thumbsup:

I'm glad you guys all liked the first campaign mission, it was quite a task to get together but well worth it. I can't wait to finish more missions now. In the meantime there is this:

A background montage that will display behind the main menu of Sigma, should displaying videos behind the main menu ever be implemented in FO.

At long last, something I wanted to do from the very start of Sigma: a map that takes place entirely within a massive construct:

Still a work in progress and I need to add a lot of smaller doodads and lights, but the structure is all pretty much done.

Cool! :shock:

Hey Tun, did you know you can change the minimap background? You can make it look however you want, even transparent, by editing the default Gminimap.tga

Indeed, I've just not messed with it yet.

I've run it on my old Windows XP with no problems at all. Many of the structures in the background are actually lower poly then most of the ships and stations in the game.

I would bet it runs as well if not better than a regular mainly because A2's problems are not generally with high poly count, but actually high mesh count, and sprites. Those asteroid sprites used by FO are what usually lag lower systems because A2, doesn't handle them well.

@TUN
Just making sure. :sweat: I figured you did, but I have never seen you use anything but the default, so I was starting to wonder. :angel:

Hello:
Si Sigma is much more huge that I imagined, that sure is a very interesting surprise :) . And I am glad it should work well in all PCs, including lower-end ones :excited: .

Keep it up! :thumbsup:.

Sorry for the bump, but how's Sigma been coming the last month-and-a-half?

It's still being worked on despite my silence, I've been finishing up the Jevorons and the last sort-of-not-revealed faction. I'll probably have more to show here (as well as a release) when the next FO patch comes out. Maybe I'll post some new renders here tomorrow. :yum:

Hello:
And I totally agree with Amd_Z, those pics are simply amazing... specially those with the Celestial Garden... but that is no surprise that I like that style of things by now, hehehe.

I was meant to reply before, but there was a city-wide blackout due to failures in one of the power plants. I hope there will not be another.

Keep up the amazing work!

Part imagination, part creative artistry, part professional execution. Tis some superb modelling there TUN. Really looking forward to seeing how the models render in game. Particularly the Ascendant ;)

The New age / generation is a separate faction?

Can't wait to have a stroll through those celestial gardens. Loving your take on space environments, really nice stuff.

Well, the next race in Sigma is done. Rather than post a bunch of text on here I decided to upload the chapter of the Stretegy Guide for the Jevorons, which I have attached to this post for download.

EDIT: apparently the pdf's filesize is too big to upload and it deleted itself, might I link to an upload at Sendspace or have a moderator upload it?

I could upload it if you e-mail it to the usual mod upload address.
