As of Two Years and 24 days ago, a Freespace(2) fan who went by the name of Ghostavo asked a simple Question, "Is Their A Stargate mod for Freespace?." Assisted by two other VWBB members, a veteran member named Black Wolf and a nub named jc4jc, Ghostavo started work on a mod that is now Earth's Defence. With the passing of time we have lost team members and gained new ones, but we are far from ready. Now We ask that you would continue to show your support as we work to the goal of releasing a demo.

What is your progress so far? Inoticed you dont have any screenshots available on the site so I was curious. Also cause of the "All-mod" I am in negotiations with DaAan of DaAn Designs. He seems ok with how his glider looks in game but is more concerned if the weapon can be accurately made, and that it (the model) be used only for our 2 projects.
Does the glider weapon have particle effects? Can you send me a copy of the weapon table entry (if you have one yet) so I can arm the glider with it and show him screens? Also he wants to be put in contact with you eventally. I don't think it would be bad to show you what it looks like but I cannot release the file (yet). I believe the final result with weapon will make or break the deal. Also he mentioned he has other SG models you may be interested in, but those are talks for the future.
I know your stance on outsourced models from before, but if things have been particularly bad lately it may be something to consider, plus I figured why should my project be the only one to benefit from a source. After all yours is PURE Star Gate and mine is a hodge podge of shows...
He had a question about making the glass transparent (what's involved in that?)
In game: 4k polies and blows up fine... Remember screens are not as good as in game.

You just need to give the main map an Alpha map.
That glider kicks arse BTW.

HMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm. Well As long as we give rights and we stay in contact, Hmmm. Is he giving it out to any other mods? And what do you mean by does the weapon have partical effects, the little tail animations? As soon as this is answered I'll work on my answer, because ... I'm confused and I have a ton of Intro to Business and Business Law class matieral going though my head.
Well, Lets put it to a vote: should we use it? Also if we can open relations for more models we should be able to move forward. But I will not put us in a hot spot. If the glider works out we will work on futher talks.
We could use all the help we can get.
P.S. Sorry for not being online for a while. Five weeks of Five day's in a row classes are killer.
I'd say the help would probably be good for SG1. :)
:yes:

This is a model primarily for Bridge Commander. I did the conversion after getting permission to try, he was surprised it looked good in the other engine but was concerned about how the weapon that we would arm it with looked like as well.
If he is not satisfied with how it looks in combat he doesn't want it used. it's that simple. As I only know of basic effects and haven't done the SG reseach yet (as I barely rememebr DG's firing) I am hesitant to try on my own yet, but will if you decline to try.
Sucess in this would open the door to more support.
As for rights, only the right to USE the model would be given as like DamocleseX he's industry. As my effort was spent scouting possible souces I secured first use for my old project and mentioned yours as well. I was banking on you being able to wrangle up an image or ani guy as I've had little luck securing aide aside from Trashman and rarely Omni but mostly that's for models.

I have most of the effects and weapons already setup I have gone though a multitude of changes and am willing to send screenshots to you. If you need the weapons specs then I will provide them as well. Just post you e-mail and I will get them to you as soon as I can.

I am soo sorry for the late reply... I have no skills and never claim anything for credit (as I never am original) BUT I am VERY happy to announce I am finished tweaking the Death Glider and it's weapon Visually.
The author Daaan (of Daaandesigns) has given the green light and I can release it to you as well as use it in my "All-Mini-Mod". He requests, of course, that mesh/texture and the weapon effect not altered. Table mechanics (aside from color, width, and legnth) is up to you. I tried very hard to make sure the result was approved so please respect those wishes.
I made a glow map also for the glider (otherwise it would have been practically invisible at some angels and now looks much more real).
Screenshots suck, but here's the FINAL version...

Just say the word and it's in the mail JC4JC...
As for my part I wouldn;t mind an "honorable mention", perhaps as a resource gatherer... Other than that I don't want or deserve any credit what so ever... That is unless you are adding voice actors??? ;)
Incidently he mentioned that he has a f302 early model done but untextured... If someone is on the team who can do a bang up job (and meet his level of quality) we can get it soon. Otherwise I am sure we can get it much later when he gets around to it.
ttyl!

Woah, some nice stuff there mate. :)
Did you model them or?

No these are from Straxus, like I mentioned earlier... I just got permission from him to convert them... They need to be altered a bit though. This was just a test... I am not a modler.

Theres a Prometheus at http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/X303_Prometheus_Update_glow_fix;46872 .
See if you can get that dude's permission. The X-303 would make for some fun battles with the Hatuks.

hummmmmm, are those my weapon textures or his... I'm not to sure about the Hataks, I would need some more screens a bit farther away to better depict them, try putting them up against a bright backgrond. I'm not sure about the promethus, I don't have much time to try and convert it. What does everyone else think.
