jonadrian619 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hi there! I just came back to FED2K after a year of inactivity. I'm quite busy managing myself in www.TheHelper.net, now that I have enough time to be active in this great site.. Blizzard Entertainment announced the development of their new RTS game, Starcraft 2. Well I was thinking, because I heard rumours that Sc2 is more mod-friendly than Warcraft 3 and all.. Because my previous Warcraft 3-based Dune mod, The Sands of Time, failed because of lack of support and team members. Link: http://www.moddb.com/mods/10435/the-sands-of-time-warcraft-3-frozen-throne-mod I just stopped it, knowing it would be a failure. When I heard about Sc2, there was a glimmer of hope. I could revive the poor thing, and continue developing it, gathering new team members. It's better to make a Dune mod out of Sc2 because of their space/planetary battle themes. And Sc2 is 3D, packed with alot of features. With these things, I plan to revamp the whole mod. If SC2 is released, I won't remake the mod yet. I'll have to learn more about the scripting, triggers and such, as well as the editor functions and in-game textures. I was wondering if any of you are going to make Dune mods with the Sc2 engine. It would be nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I used to do amateur Starcraft campaign-building a while ago. I even had an idea for a UMS Dune-themed map (3 Terran factions representing the Dune II/2k/EBfD Houses, with various tech trees like the Ordos getting Raider Trikes (Raynor) instead of ordinary Trikes (Vulture) etc. etc.), but I didn't make it after all. Maybe I'll join in, provided I have enough free time :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daelin Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I do not know if the name Daelin rings a bell, but let's just say I have some experience with Warcraft 3 coding (specialised in spells and abilities). I used to have a total conversion mod of my own "Revival of the High Elves" that unfortunately failed due to objective reasons I won't mention here.If Starcraft 2's scripting language proves to be close to Warcraft 3's JASS, I can definitely help you with coding. Haven't worked in JASS for a year and a half now, but after 4 years experience, I think I can remember how things work. :)I would luv to see Dune 2 recreated in 3d. :)-Daelin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
