You've misstated Endless Dream's advantage! What we REALLY have are two modders, a French dude, and no social lives!

But I am French too!

*waves a flag... but finds none around, so waves a coffee cup instead*



So, we'll rule over the Endless world and throw froglegs at Babylon 5's thread!

Nah - it's from a webcomic called "Scandinavia and the World".



And yeah - I'm loving the eprit de corps in the Endless Space modding community!

Tha'shepherd, you nearly made me fall off my chair with your two last posts

About the cartoon artwork, did you make it?





To make sure that we are replying to OP:

There are 4 ongoing big mods, with small teams but... but the best spirit evaaaar !



*happily waves beer, coffee, knife and gun with other modders*

I think Endless Dream needs a German translator

(I cannot translate in french AND in german as long as I do not know german)

But the actual topic:

A big problem for larger Mods is the lack of support for 3D Models and other Art-Assets. How else can a Total Conversion Mod be seriously realized?

now ? it can't but give it some time.. thats why i am allready doing assets.. because when they are finished.. its only a matter of exporting and then they are Ready to be used.

Is anybody planning on doing or are working on any big mods like a BFG or Star Wars, or any overhauls and improvements to game play?

- Babylon 5 has a team of modders + a graphic artist for modeling. (congrats Pleasure, I will be interested in seeing the scout you made!)

Thanks im nearly done mapping.. puuhh



you can see what i mapped so far here : (The Square Mapping A1 etc.)







ps. for such high Detail i have managed quite a low poly count. 6k to be exact. (The Small ships in ES have about 10k.) So i have a little bit left to maybe add some more details.

Babylon 5, which actually can finish one day unlike ED. [...] it has wonderful graphicians working on that project (what ED lacks).

Hey! I am still wondering if by "ED" you were meaning Endless Dynasty, or Endless Dream.

At first reading I thought Endless Dynasty and was beginning to react....



I just noticed this way that we share the same acronyms.

"ED" is a cool acronym. How will we manage this issue?

(was about to say "was first", but shall we say ED, EDY, EDYN or EDR, EDM ? I wonder how we will handle this fun issue )





The main difference between Endless Dream, Babylon 5 and Endless Dynasty isn't really in scope, because I think the three are big mods.

I also think the three rework everything anew (heroes, combat, techs, factions... everything out).



There will be more views and replies in Endless Dream and Babylon 5 because they are in teams and have more exchange there, and I am sure that this will in every possible way contribute positively to their success and quality.

I also think that Endless Dream has made much progress already, and Babylon 5 more or so as much (but in an unreleased form), meaning in terms of progression Endless Dynasty is behind.





So:

- Endless Dream has a team of modders.

- Babylon 5 has a team of modders + a graphic artist for modeling. (congrats Pleasure, I will be interested in seeing the scout you made!)

- Endless Dynasty has one modder, + possibly a graphic artist later on.

- Warhammer 40K may begin soon and shall receive its modders.



I don't work in a team because I really need to feel comfortable around people first.

I also would like to define first the background cohesion in the mod.

But I lack the time to. I have many coding commitments at the moment requesting organization and focus already and cannot spread it yet.



That's the reason why Endless Dynasty is behind in progression; but we are only two weeks (even less) since the full XML tools have been released



I think all first three mods will have a playable aspect in about one month from now.

Sooner for Endless Dream.



It is pretty understandable that B5 has to wait for modeling options, and I hope these will be released soon, for this will greatly enhance all mod qualities.

That's not funny !



Its Hard enough to do this all alone.



Too few Modelers here...
