You are just bitter because people are, and always will compare this mod with Galactic Conquest.

Comparing FS to GC when FS is out will happen ... but im not goin on about that.

Calling it GC2 is what pisses me off.


Earlier in the mods life people were on about GC. Then this quietened down and people respected and understood that FS was a whole different game with totally different developers. 

A few monthes ago , Preach , Woody, Jay, Rob and Luuri joined and people suddenly thought it was ok to start calling us GC2. They thought it was safe to say it cos a handful of ex GC devs joined us . Calling us GC2 will, as Redmonkey said , get you banned.

Re: AT-AT Body.

lol I'm half half on this matter. it's a little respectless to call us GC2, eventho we have a bunch of ex GC devs. But these guys stepped on pretty late in the mod and have had little with the foundation. They are an amazing addition to the team tho no doubt, but that doesn't make this GC2 in any way.

We're FS, wether that relates to GC or not, well it's a star wars mod for a battlefield game and that's about it.

Re: AT-AT Body.

Right, back on the topic at hand wink

http://scifi3d.theforce.net/images/wip/1319_src_07_ATAT_jas_Interior_01.jpg

Now, as far as I'm aware, the interior (bar the cockpit) was never seen in the films, so I'm unable to comment if the above fits in with SW lore. However It doesnt seem that there is all that much to the bodies interior, and I'm sure the FS team will make sure its as accurate as they can make it. The only issue I can imagine them having with the cockpit is making players access it through the ATAT's 'neck', especially with the head moving around. Again, I'm sure they'll come up with a solution though smile

Re: AT-AT Body.

That's a pretty good model. Tells a lot. Just no skins...

Re: AT-AT Body.

Just to confirm...

You wont be walkin around in the interior when its a vehicle. Can you imagine the problems with collision? Its bad enough on the Titan when its moving and that just goes in a straight line, on a straight plane.

There will be times when the ATAT will be a vehicle , in which you will be in seats (like any transport ship in bf2 etc)  and there will be times when its a static model ..in which your free to roam around inside it at will.

Im sure we will test it , but id put my last cookie on my 1st paragraph


PS. I wasnt calling UnCo a moron before . I think he said it as a kind of a resigning 'sigh'. Id be very suprised if he actually meant it...or believed it.

Re: AT-AT Body.

Not to resurface the matter, but being an Ex GC dev myself, I don't in any way shape or form think of FS as GC2. Do I think however, that FS can benefit from our expereience, Learn maybe use good ideas, and Stay away from bad ideas, what worked what didn't work etc, Yes I do believe it can, because Why repeat the same mistakes etc. However that's as far as the relationship goes. Infact, it's more work experience than Star Wars on Battlefield experience, Cos we've been modding longer.

None of the ex GC guys consider FS to be GC2, FS is FS, GC was GC, This is a new mod, with new ideas, New gameplay, If we can use our experience to stear clear of the pitfalls, then so be it.

This isn't to say I don't understand the comparison's (not comparison in quality ) but as the only Frame Of reference in existance that has both Star wars AND a battlefield Game intertwined.

Star Wars on a similar Engine basically. No one minds people using it as a common frame of reference, for exmaple why should you spend 2 paragraphs descibing your idea when you could say, "kind of like how they did XX in GC but tweak this this and this, Is how i see it" etc. that's fine in my book.

tbh this thread spurred some heated debates on IRC in the last couple of days lol so lets call it a day wink

Re: AT-AT Body.

I wasn't part of them! Haha... Oh well. I guess this thread will die now, I hope that we can walk around in the ATAT while it moves.
