    I'm writing an Armada semi-clone and need graphic artists

    My you guys have been busy...part of your THESIS!? Wow, wish I had got such an interesting thesis topic. Anyways I've been browsing the Python tutorials and sample code. Great stuff, but it's a little uphill due to the strageness of the language. I've taken a peek at the Armada sounds but...

    I'm writing an Armada semi-clone and need graphic artists

    Right, I've managed to get Armada running...slowly. BTW, I'm on a W2K Athlon 1,7 @ 2,2GHz 512MB 333DDR Radeon9600XT. I'm starting the Python tutorials as we speak...er...write...as I write. My intent wasn't to start a war as I had never seen Python, I was merely reminding y'all of the...

    WC Ships Database

    Thanks. I've had a look and you have quite a bit up there even if there are holes left to be filled in. It'd be nice to have the stats closer than at TCE or CIC, but I guess that all depends on what the objective is. I take it it's a work in constant progress with new ships coming in. Let me...

    WC Ships Database

    As a newbie to the WC CIC Forums I'd like to ask if there's a comprehensive database of 3D WC ship models? I know WC CIC has a (historical) Ships Database from all official WC game releases, but there seems to be a plethora of 3D models created for mods. Each mod project and 3D modeler...

    Tiger's Claw...

    Perhaps this topic should go to the "Wing Commander 3D" SolSector.net forum?

    I'm writing an Armada semi-clone and need graphic artists

    Ooo. These bring back memories. I was unable to get Armada running under DosBox...how did Bryan manage it? Do you have to switch off the built-in XMS/EMS and use EMM386? I'd like to get Armada runable to "browse" the interface. Either way I've read up a bit on Python. I'll install it and...

    I'm writing an Armada semi-clone and need graphic artists

    I'll try get it running under DosBox later tonight. I've been researching into 2x upscale filtering and I'll also want to take a look at the official Python pages. have you considered prototyping the game in Visual Basic? Or even Delphi? Seems either would be better suited to making a GUI...

    Centurion...

    Oooo! Such detail...and only in around 8000 polys! ie. low enough to be used in a real-time engine. Respect sensei. *bow* =) Any word on the textures?

    Arrow

    Wow...wow...just...WOW! That is brilliant! The subtle lighting brings back memories of Armada, where even though the texture included the lighting because of necessity, it still looked great. This is definately my fave WC ship...once again! zohrath_1: Ever consider using such a high poly...

    Armada interface graphics

    Well, well, well. If it isn't my old WCNav program hacked together in TurboC and later done up in 32-bit DJGPP. I've been meaning to get around to updating it but since I gave a working copy off to Quarto there's never been a need to...at least he never mentioned it. =) Either way, since...

    I'm writing an Armada semi-clone and need graphic artists

    Well, alrighty. You've got my attention. So what are the next steps? WCNav can extract some but not all Armada graphics - it'd need work. But I see you're not set on keeping those the original Armada feel. So where do I come in? WCNAV (and later WCMEV) were just toys not really meant to be...
