Dune2000 Emperor mod

[darkmage]

would it be possible? I think it'd be a cool thing to try... remaking the dune 2000 units in 3d.

I gave that some thought, however I don't have the time to do it right now, I'm currently working on my own mod (which has been delayed several times) and I don't want to divert and start from scratch again. I think it would be a feasible idea though.

yes, but your problem there would be modeling all of those units, you would also need to use MilkShape3D, because that is the only supported mesh format in the XBF Viewer.

I started on some stuff. The Guild refinery (retextured for each house, of course) makes for a good light factory.

[darkmage]

is there any chance of getting .3ds support? I can model and texture... but getting the stuff into the game will be a problem. I use caligari truespace for modelling which I do in linux which cannot yet run emperor.

[darkmage]

I'd love to see a repair pad in there... as well as the trikes all 3 houses have..

I think you are able to model into any format supported by Milkshape (3ds,mdl....) and save it into milkshapes format, but im unsure of this.

[darkmage]

if you are correct and if milkshape runs under linux... then I will begin this project.... I just wish emperor ran under linux... currently in winexit gives a "cannot create 3d device" error.
