Biggles Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 If you want to see what the editor is capable of, take a look at these screenshots... https://www.s2hq.com/images/editor01.JPG https://www.s2hq.com/images/editor02.JPG That's the game running inside the editor, so you can playtest as you work. It seems to run even smoother than the full game! I'm very impressed. i'll post some more later. Feel free to add your own to this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenomage Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 ooh, im excited! the first screenshot instantly reminded me of X-com. 8) is that gun in the picture actually found in the game or did someone import it into the game? it looks almost exactly like the X-com laser rifle :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted November 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 It's actually in the game, and yes it looks just like a Laser Rifle. it's called a Prototype 8 and I 'think' you find it in the SPOILER>>>>UFO mission and those Screeshots should remind you of UFO... that's what i'm working on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenomage Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 huh, that gun must be a homage to the x-com laser rifle then because the resemblance is dead on. (im actually pretty suprised its in the game because thats basically stealing x-coms intellectual property unless they asked permission to use it). https://www.projectxenocide.com/xcomufo/ufo/pics/big/shot0025.jpg with things like this and the hidden 'geosphere' it seems pretty obvious where the devs got their inspiration from, and that they really want to see an x-com 'skin' apllied to their game. i am so grateful for this game and its potential after playing the disapointing ufo:aftermath.

Biggles Posted November 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 If every 3-D model created that looked like something from a game or even real-life object was subject to 'copyright' there would be virtually no modellling! As long as the don't call it an 'X-com Laser Rifle' or promote it as X-Com in any way i don't see how they can't do it. Can you imagine Smith & Wesson sueing every game with guns because they look like Smith & Wessons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenomage Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 oops heheh your right... if copyrights were that strict we would only have maybe a dozen games in exsistance. i forgot all you need to do is give something a different name and possibly change it slightly before its 'legal' to use for your own purposes...

LoTekK Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 oops heheh your right... if copyrights were that strict we would only have maybe a dozen games in exsistance. i forgot all you need to do is give something a different name and possibly change it slightly before its 'legal' to use for your own purposes...Indeed. Case in point: Soldier of Fortune's weapons being modelled after real-world weapons but given fictional names. Another case in point: GTA3 and VC's vehicles. [edit]Question about the editor: I'm not sure if it's because my editor install got corrupted or whatnot, but when I load up a map in the editor, it looks quite screwy, but when I subsequently run that map in the in-editor game-testing, it looks fine. Here are some screens to demonstrate: This is what it looks like when running the game within the editor:https://www.lotekk.com/files/s2-editor1.jpg And this is what that same map looks like in just the editor view:https://www.lotekk.com/files/s2-editor2.jpg So, is this what it's supposed to look like? (no ground visible, etc), or should I go ahead and re0install the editor? And here's a random thing I found in the editor:https://www.lotekk.com/files/s2-zombie.jpg[/edit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted November 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Cool.. a zombie! That's just bizarre, where was it? I haven't come across it so far. Anyway... here's a couple more shots from mine.... https://www.s2hq.com/images/editor03.JPG https://www.s2hq.com/images/editor04.JPG Just showing what I'm playing with at the moment, basically, a farm mission in the tradition of X-Com. I've edited Fritz to look more like an X-Com operative, though really I should remove his helmet I guess. i've also given him a Prototype 8 as his default weapon :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nixolus Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 X-coms laser rifle, geospheres, zombie skins, and in another post the terror commandos uniform. thanks for the spoiler warning guys. I think I'll drop out of the forums for a while until I have the game myself at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted November 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Yikes... sorry about that. Being the modding forums I sort of assumed that readers would be also modding the game and as such.. would know all this stuff. But ... most of this ISN'T in the actual game itself.

Garic Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 hey do you want any help for the xcom mod?

Mr. Adequate Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Where did you find the zombie, LoTekK? I've seen the torso and the head separately, but no combo figure anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
