SAVOTW · Post by **SAVOTW** » Thu, 30. Apr 09, 19:10

This is as yet an unreleased Babylon5 full conversion mod for TC

We have moved from Reunion to TC with this mod and are still working on it.

We have recently added more pics to the gallery and a few new vids in download area - showing some of our stuff so far. Find us at;

I honestly can't believe that after putting hours and hours into this mod, which is apparent from a very quick skim of the links above your first post of the topic is so bereft of info and pics most people will ignore it.

[friendly advice] Sort your presentation out, this looks too good to have a first post so poor[/friendly advice]

Babylon 5 total mod for TC is pretty clear. The web page is there to sell the mod and I see no reason to duplicate here.

Any reasonably keen b5 fan should have enough stroodle to follow the link and find the goodies.

When the mod is nearer completion we might put up a bit more of a show here on Ego, but a bit pointless till then.

Just to make sure...

I don't think its legall to sell mods without Egosoft permission.

Not selling in terms of "money"....

Any rough estimate on when this mod is likely to be done? It looks absolutely superb.

I must say it looks great

SAVOTW · Post by **SAVOTW** » Fri, 1. May 09, 00:09

Yep - I most certainly meant sell in terms of attract people to it, and not profit in any financial way.

We hope to have at least a demo out before the end of this year('09) if not something even more developed. We have most of the cannon ships + many other new ones and growing handful of stations. The biggest gap is now in AI for races and of course a plot(missions). The latter I/we will turn our attention to fairly soon.

Few things were as creepy and as cool to me as the first time I saw a Shadow Battlecrab in B5 rip a Narn station apart. I have long lamented the lack of a really good B5 game. Sure there was the one using the Freespace engine, but it just wasn't what I was hoping for. When I first started playing X3, one of my first thoughts was, now we have the means to properly simulate the B5 universe.

I am eagerly looking forward to your mod, and being able to jump into a system, see that creepy Battlecrab Silhouette in the distance and go RSLAG

Just, wow.

The ship models you guys are using are great. I've followed the development of this mod for a very long time and can't wait to see it finished.

SAVOTW · Post by **SAVOTW** » Sun, 3. May 09, 00:11

Yep, we are doing well on that front. With modellers like Amras and the textures of Maverick we are extremely lucky. It takes a long time as there is just so much ground to cover - ships, stations, map, scripts, missions, turrets(uch!)

. A lot of work for a core group of just 5ish (with a few more working on things like music and textures - also vital).

By the way there are some models you have not seen

, like the shadow carrier - the shadow equivalent to the vorlon one in the pic above and equally impressive imo

.

All I can say is that we are working very hard to get something out there this year for our members and people like you who have followed our progress for a long while now.

I have also recently uploaded the last two vids on the EA to VIMEO to save people having to download them.

Will post here again as soon as there is something new to show again.[/url]

metalvenom · Post by **metalvenom** » Sun, 3. May 09, 20:13

as always looks great. I would like to see how the beam effects look though

cant wait to get my grubby hands on it though. gonna make some movies with it

SAVOTW · Post by **SAVOTW** » Mon, 4. May 09, 01:12

They'll probably be the best vids you do

The beams for shadows and EA are done but none of the others as yet. We also need to do the launch and hit effects for all weapons. Still a long way to go but something new goes in every day (e.g. EA olympus is now fully functional in-game and EA poseidon carrier will also be done and in tomorrow, closely followed by the command Omega, Nova....after textures were reworked for TC).

My missus, who totally doesn't understand the attraction of X3 whatsoever, said she would buy and play X3:TC just for your mod once it comes out. She is a dedicated fan of B5, as am I.

I really can't wait!

SAVOTW · Post by **SAVOTW** » Tue, 5. May 09, 18:53

Missus - as in Woman!

- That is a true honour indeed. She would be the first I am aware of

. I'm sure they are out there but all the member names on our site are cryptic or male sounding and no one has asked for a pink ship or one that can multitask as yet

Just finishing adding the Nova, god that's a stupid ship! It has turrets a porn star would be proud of and they mostly point the wrong way as well. Still won't be any left after the minbari war thankfully

I'm a HUGE fan of Bab5 so will be wating for this with baited breath.

My wife is also a big fan of Bab5.

Yeah a Woman

She loves B5 enough to get into X3.

The Nova is an odd ship and not nearly as nice a model as the Omega. (Personal preference) I am actually going through B5 (once again, heh) at the moment and noticed that the ship escorting the Infantry under command of General Franklin is a Nova. (Season 2, Episode "Gropos")

The Omega class remains the favourite though

Street21309 · Post by **Street21309** » Thu, 7. May 09, 17:51

I prefer the Victory class =P Just something about that Vorlon tech being added into EA tech that gets the blood pumping.

Vordrak · Post by **Vordrak** » Sat, 9. May 09, 21:57

Two questions

(i) Will it be possible to play a Shadow? I wanna * fly * a Battlecrab.

(ii) The beams in the screenshot on the mod site, especially for the battlecrab, looked a bit monochrome. Will that be fixed so it is patterned more like the show?
