Starpoint Gemini
« on: August 10, 2014, 04:33:43 am »
so the start of the week I picked up a copy of Starpoint Gemini  off E-bay for £2.69 (with p&p) :) a lot of reviews said it played like sfc
3d game played on a 2d plane which it does and they game looks great

so after a few games I got to work on the games files well it turns out you can mod pretty much everything in the game
after just 1 afternoon of trying





don't they look great :) going to turn this game into a full Startrek game going to take along time but it be well
worth it

below is the link to they site so you see videos and screenshots of it

if you want to get it check e-bay and also steam look around you get the game very cheap :)

Modding wise the models are in .x format all the other modding is done with Notepad its pretty easy
I`m doing a total conversion of the game too star-trek

I got my hard copy off ebay.co.uk I`m from the uk
did check the us site its not cheap on there :(

May have to buy a Download version it looks like :( they cost abit more you can get it on Steam they sell it

its missions and free roaming for the most part but its pretty good no one on one skirmishes as far as I can see yet
still digging deeper into it

On USA Amazon; there's a regular and a gold version both UK imports. Will that be comparable with me in the US  :laugh:
Sounds dumb but when I was in London things seems a little out of the ordinary, cars, the dialect, the food. How are the keyboards like, identical layout :huh:

Just kidding. Lol

Shall I get gold version. Sounds better.
Will I be able to obtain plugins for x format in gmax

not been able to find a .x plugin for gmax :( normal setup I use I do everything I need in gmax export in .mod then use Ultimate Unwrap3D to export to .x format its way I got to do it
but its np I can sort out what ever ships you need in .x format you know me I LOVE TO MOD :)

DD,  I havent bought the new game, can you upload a video of a battle scene(star trek mod) with the new modification you did to it?

Adam

I`m still building the mod its a lot of work hoping for a small release in a few weeks time so far 20 ships are done and 8 starbases takes me awhile each model has to be remapped to a Single texture map and making icons and such takes time but well worth it Starbases play a big role in this game as you repair and buy your systems from them plus its where you get all the ships from

all ship systems weapons,shilds etc can be replace on the ships so you pretty much have what you like on your ship if you got the ingame money to buy them
not looked at weapons just yet just getting the base mod build that come abit later

so far done search and rescue ,Escort missions ,search and destroy missions
also found a place ingame where you do one vs one play which is cool you bet if you can beat the other ship :P

I do plan on a video when I get time just got to install software to take ingame video so people can see whats its like

you could cheat a bit for the texture thing... max has a way to burn a texture map for you depending on what version you are using... I think FOAS had a vid he made on how to do that years ago.

You all grown up in your picture Mackie,  :coolsmiley:
I played the demo with the sample ST mod, very much enjoyed, with new sfx, textures, etc... This could be awesome.

hah, damn well should be too. got into sfc in my teens and now im in my thirties. tried starpoint gemini, i am impressed.
the game is an awesome basis.
but its going to take a whole lot more than that to get the old crowds attention if theyre even alive anymore :P
