replace Sheredyn with United Federation of Planets

The current plan as I understand it is to replace all factions with the nine news ones.

That's a shame! I'm a huge Trekky, and there's nary a Phaser to be found in Endless Dream.



Read my lips: No. Phasers.

I find it funny that the big mod project is B5, and not startrek (more famous, many series, way more episodes and ... definitively crushed B5 in the egg). It's original, and a good idea.



Just a question, totally out of curiosity : what is the soft used to make the ships ? I can't be part of the project, but I'm curious to try to do some and it doesn't look like a render made by those I know.

I like star trek, BUT...



I love Babylon 5. Seriously B5 is definatly better then star trek (imo)



But as i said star trek will be our (Pleasure dont talk we will do it ) next big mod.



Atm i am still learning to model but who knows maybe by the time we get to that point maybe i am able to model the ships myself

U got it thats the plan

1. The Software i use is 3d Studio Max, but you can use any 3d Program you like. (Cinema4d, Lightwave, Blender) to name only a few..



And I like Star Trek but before i make a Star Trek mod i would do a Battlestar galactica Mod ! (Why ? Because there are Thousands of Star trek Games and Mods allready out.. it seems pointless.)

Hey Guys, just wanted to inform you briefly about the work on the B5 mod.

Here is a short list what we're currently working on:



* Babylon 5 specific heroes (80% Done)

* Babylon 5 specific technologies (10% Done)

* Improvement for the Galaxy Generator (5% Done)

* AI Improvements (5% Done)





Besides this Pleasure is already working on the 3D models. But to integrate the 3D models into the mod, we need the official 3D mod support. So we have to wait.



Here also some general information about the mod:



* The mod will be released both in English as well as German

* We don't have an exact release date for the mod

* We're currently a team of 4 people (If you're interessed in joining us, check out our initial post )





For more information visit our official Mod website and track our ModDB profile.

Your website looks great! You guys are making real rapid progress; I'm impressed with all of the 'small' things like icons, smileys, heroes, etc. you're doing to really set the 'flavor' of Babylon 5.



I would volunteer to do some work for you, but I've never seen B5 (and in terms of raw coding - Endless Dream is a demanding woman). The B5 and ED teams are planning really different, wild, and interesting first releases! As for me personally, I would absolutely be in favor of sharing resources if our teams end up specializing in different areas - better mods are better for the community, so just ask.

Very Nice of you to offer we may take you up on that for now i am very pleased with the speed we are progressing. Models of course will still take a while because i am the only one right now doing them and there are 44 more models to go. I am currently working on the second one.. wich will be a Starfury Thunderbolt so you guys can be exited about that.



Maybe we can set up a meeting in Teamspeak thashepherd discuss a little about Endless Space Modding

Glad you Guys like it. We are trying our best. It is still far from finished though.. the Hardest part is creating all the Art Assets. Unfortunately i am currently the only Guy working on this.. but i will try my best to get it done

when you say art assets do you mean things like the module icons and research images? or are we talking ship textures and gifs

well i am doing models, textures and some 2d images as in hero images and faction images. With hardest part i meant the time it takes to create models and the coresponding Textures.

If i was a good enough artist I would offer my help. however http://banditks.deviantart.com/ i am pretty bad with 3ds max.

Practice makes Perfect! I am glad to find a fellow modeler here finally even though you are only a "beginner" i think you will get better quite fast. I pmed you a website where superb tutorials are with high poly modeling, low poly and uvw unwrapping and rendering



If you are willing to learn, and give it some time we would offer you a position in our mod team. After you have gotten some experience via those tuts. (If you like of course)
