WC:CD Project Update
I haven't been on the WCnews/Crius for quite sometime. I want everyone to know that the project is still moving forward. Also with the new Arena Model archive that has recently been made public. I'm also trying to implement a few of the actual Arena Models (With somewhat different textures). Only a few of the ships to be honest. And they will also have to be somewhat different (Poly count numbers). But to have these as a basic is pure awesome!
At the moment. I have all of the Nephilim ships that I have done in the Vision Engine (SO/Prophecy). Also I have ALL of the Pirate, Mercenary, Confed, Firekkan, & Kilrathi ships implemented. There are a few Capital Ships in which I still have to finish or at least get into implementing. One is the Indomitable Class Battlecruiser from Arena. I had made my own version along with the help of a Crius user. And will probably use that version. And maybe implement a few of the textures that I couldn't seem to get exactly right from the Arena archive.
One thing that did take me a long time to not really master but to make it the way the gameplay should be. Was basically the stats of a few ships and weapons.
For instance. In Secret Ops there is no Neutron gun. In WCCD I have implemented the Neutron gun into the engine just for one reason really, and that was to say that maybe "Confed isn't putting it on there newest fighters but I'm sure that there are plenty of non-military ships that have these weapons still on them." So It has taken a lot of time to get the Ships, Weapons, Capital Ships, to get them not only to the way that are in previous games (or least similar). For instance the Neutron gun was slow moving, also had a long refire delay, but packed a pretty big punch. I made that similar to how it was in previous games (WC2,WC3,etc..) without sacrificing that Secret Ops Feel.
I want you guys to know that this project is not dead it just came to a stand-still for a little bit as I moved into a new employment position. Look for new updates within the coming weeks
