Battlefleet Gothic

from Sins Forums
I don't know if any of you guys are a fan of the mini's genera. Did anyone here ever play games workshops short lived Battlefleet Gothic.

That game was pretty fun.

Some of the stuff I liked from there.

1. Massive torpedoes

Were talking about ship killers that you had to move the ship out of the way from and could use to move other guys ships out of areas that you wanted to go into.

2. Boarding action

You could fire "boarding torpedoes" and basically take over a ship or failing at that sabotage large sections of it.

3. Ramming / Fire Ships

Some ships could ram it was pretty sweet some could also function like a big torpedo.... that was awesome.

4. The ships had sections you could knock out an engine ... that was pretty cool.

5. Ships could really blow up

As in they would implode and take down anyone who happened to be near them that was pretty awesome.

6. Some ships as i recall could use gravitic and solar wind effects

I don't know, it's not my job. Hope it's done so I can quickly replace this optical assault with something more aesthetically pleasing.

Right now, I've got all the ships done. There are a few annoyances I'll try to sort out, but they're minor issues. First, mitigation displays wrong (I think). It says it's at 15% when all ships have a max of 0%. Maybe there's a base shield mitigation that I have to tweak, or maybe it just doesn't want to display a 0. Secondly, you'll have to build your frigate factory manually, so that takes a bit of time, I can't seem to figure out how to make that work (tried modding galaxyscenariodef and that didn't work, so the answer might be something else, maybe the planet_____home files). Planets are still stock sins but with the gravity wells doubled. That's pretty much the essential stuff for now.

Hi Peeps!
First of all, i am an end-user, with years of playing Battlefleet Gothic behind me. I follow ewery rumour about getting the tabletop game into a video game, so i ran into this topic. Your work was so impressive for me, that i tryed out the mothergame, Sins. After also having years of playing X3 REUNION PC game behind me, Sins appears wery boring. I realise that this game is not about good looking graphics but i yearn for more, altough i will be happy with any kind of playable BFG PC game. Your models sofar are good enough and i want them see in action soon. Until now these models are the most detailed playable 3D models i've seen (apart Mechmaster's), so keep up the good work! I have hope inyou!

Okay, I'm starting the damage type work now, should release sometime this afternoon. I just realized that I'll have to give the pirates chaos ships, so that pleasant surprise is in for all you guys. The part of the game I'm most interested in input on is spams that are almost unstoppable (evil spam, I'll try to fix it if it's a spamfest), pacing (very important, I want to know if you're overwhelmed or need a book), general fairness, and of course glitches (I'm testing everything as it goes in, so that shouldn't happen). Research tree will come in later, that's a bit bigger, and I want that to be looked at separately. Graphical improvements will come when they do, so don't be surprised if all of a sudden things look better :p. Hope you don't mind that the prow WBs are locked port (that's left), it's the only way they can work without a custom arc, and given that the ships fire that broadside by default it doesn't cost you much firepower.

Yay! (I'm guessing im allowed to test the mod?) And yes, im in Perth WA. I think I told you this ages ago, back when I was 'GalacticaCAG'. I wrote that pirates story;)But I wont be surpriised if you dont remember, it was AGES ago. This thread on BFG is what got me started! I now have 2000 IN fleet and 1500 SM fleet thanks to you guys =D
Reply #781 from Sins Forums Top
Yes, you did tell us you were an aussie. I believe I remembered you complaining about how bad the postage on your fleet was going to be shipping it there, and I agreed wholeheartedly. Don't worry, the second I'm done, I'll PM you a link or see if I can get a mail address for you so you get it right away. Right now, the damage types are kicking my rear.

I GOT THE PICTURES!!!! I'll upload them at some point today.
Reply #783 from Sins Forums Top
HOORAY! I'll trade you testing version (serious alpha stuff, I'm using an akkan mesh for the caps, but it'll play mostly right once I'm done) for them. Deal?
Reply #784 from Sins Forums Top
Lol I thought I was in the Alpha anyways?

Anyways, here jweee go!

My fleet vs Kiernyc's fleet ON THE EPIC BATTLE GROUND OF AN IRONING BOARD!


I had a picture of just his fleet but I can't find it lol... :P
Anyways the main point was the Despoiler thinger, right?
Reply #785 from Sins Forums Top
Yah, I know, I just figured you might like to know the trade is prompt, cause I haven't seen you in a few posts (come to think of it that's like hours) :p. (testing)

EDIT: Mah Strings asploded! One second while I figure out why English.str hates me.

EDITAGAIN: Well, it's a minidump problem on startup, and the strings are good until you get the error prompt. Wonder what's really causing it?

ROFL!

Anyways I was messing with Audacity trying to get something Space Marine sounding for the mod. Let me know what you think (I can't find a site where I can upload music and embed it here on the forums :P)

EDIT: Forgot to mention, give Kiernyc the beta too. If you need my email its [email protected], and from there I could actually just forward it to him lol

I think it's bug free, but don't don't don't mouse over the missile research. It crashes the game, but I need it so torps and bombers work right. Grr.... Anyway, have fun, but I won't write anything explaining what stuff does till tomorrow. Will post that once it's done.

Chang, if I don't mail it to you, PM me with your mail adress. Thanks.

Sweet, I just got in a fight, and I can now confirm all ordnance ignores shields. Also, it's rather likely to find itself on the receiving end of a nerf.
Reply #788 from Sins Forums Top
Lol? So I guess I'm waiting for an email then? I'm hitting the hay for tonight so I guess I'll find out later.

And when you say missile research you mean all of them, right?
Reply #789 from Sins Forums Top
No, not all of them. You may find the research tree looks barer than that christmas tree you retroactively declare a shrine to nurgle in February and there's only one of the things left. Also, I had a problem with hotmail's virus scanner, so I sent it again with my school email. Tell me if you got it.
Reply #790 from Sins Forums Top
Ok, here is both my emails:

[email protected] (plz use this one if you can)

school email (plz try not to use this one if you can :P : [email protected]

Thankyou so much for letting me in on this!!! I will test until my eyes have been run raw from looking at your awesomeness for too long. Heh (that was terrible)

EDIT: Umm... Just had a thought, once i have downloaded it, what then? How do I incorperate it into my existing game?>

THANKS!

Hey sorry those pics to such a long time you thought i was probably dead....anyway, here's my email:

[email protected]
Reply #792 from Sins Forums Top
Guys, do me a favor and tell me if you got my email, because otherwise I'm not sure if my school mail account (the only one that works right) is working properly.

EDIT: Just tested it, I think it works. Chang be aware that hotmail flagged my test mail as junk.
Reply #793 from Sins Forums Top
Email worked ! yay thanks :D!
Reply #794 from Sins Forums Top
The last two emails I got had the attachment. Kiernyc and I can try this in mulitplayer if you want.

When i tried to enable the MOD i got a minidump crash. I have the 1.1 beta installed do you x?
Reply #796 from Sins Forums Top
The Beta patch doesn't support mods yet. I don't think it will until it is the 1.1 FINAL.
Reply #797 from Sins Forums Top
Is there a way just to uninstall the beta version or do i have to reinstall the whole thing lol?

EDIT: Just reinstalled it ;p
Reply #798 from Sins Forums Top
So there aren't custom models yet? And theres only Chaos? (so this is like a cost/Chaos balancing test?)
Reply #799 from Sins Forums Top
models are very close but we just need to sort a few minor problems with the importing (we think it wont work unless we have textures so untill i or someone else gets to and puts the textures on it wont work)
as soon as thats done we will have new models for all our testerers to play with

p.s. did you send spartan a test version too?
pps. and did you send me one i dident get one

It doesnt work with 1.1???? Awwww, damn it, I just got it! Is there anyway for me to make 'two' Sins on my computer, and leave one of them at 1.05?
