[Guest JediIgor]

Amazing you got this far. But where are the maps?

[DarthTofu]

/me stares with mouth gaping open in wonder at what Bobandrubert has done. I may have to stop being a cheap bastard and go out to get this game if only for the mod you're making.

[Jonaray]

Absolutely!

This looks elite!

[bobandrubert]

Amazing you got this far. But where are the maps?

 

Dude we need to make the models THEN the maps cause you need to make models to put IN the map.

Amazing you got this far.

[Mad78]

Okay so i recon an AT-AT counts as a tank. So max 6000. What do you mean by integrated Kit parts?

[bobandrubert]

EA wrote this so can't help. Just do 6000 polys and we will go there

Hello again and welcome to this week's update for our Star Wars based mod for Battlefield 2, First Strike! This week we have another mega update! We have received a lot of new members since our last update and I would like to extend a huge thank you out to all of them! Because of them we are getting things done even faster. Our new and more organized website is being done by kpasa and it's almost done. It's about 90% completed. Expect it to be up in time for the next update. If you want to help us out with our mod drop by our current site and support us! We really need modelers, texturers, and coders, so please come on out and help us. We are in desperate need of those. However you can also help us design our new website, be a sound person, an animator, or a Star Wars information person. This is the link to our website.

Now for the models.

 

This is the BlasTech A280 Blaster Rifle. It is the main blaster rifle for the Rebels that the main Rebel Trooper will use. It was skinned by ramseus and modeled by ahhsai.

Next is the Golan Arms HH-15 Portable Missile Launcher. It will be used by the Rebel Vanguards as an Anti-Armor weapon obviously. This is your counter to the AT-STs and AT-PTs. Also skinned by ramseus and modeled by ahhsai.

This is the glop grenade. The glop grenade uses its relatively small explosive charge to disperse its deadly chemical payload in the area of the grenade upon detonation. The target is cemented to the ground for a certain period of time. Again, it was skinned by ramseus and modeled by nusirilo.

That's it for this week. Take care.

[Mad78]

I will try and finish the AT AT model tadoy. At the latest by the end of next week.

[bobandrubert]

ok do you have a render of it so far?

[Mad78]

I will post one tonight.

 

EDIT: Sadly my computer has decided that it doesn't like me and keeps on crashing when i try the render the model. So i want be able to render a pic tonight.

Anyway the modelling stage is completed to about 90%. I ain't a very good texture maker so I think i shall pass the model on to one of your texturers for that bit of the job.

[bobandrubert]

ya i got a textueruter waiting for the model. THe mod team has a strict no leek policy so please pm the model. thanks

[Mad78]

Okay, I shall mail it to you.

[bobandrubert]

Mad wheres the mod?
