Freeworlds: Tides of War - Development Video #9

The FW:ToW team has been busy working on importing the final of the First Strike Cockpits, XWA Upgrade Project Cockpits and others into game. Sovereign, our lead importer and SW whiz, has put them into our ships with style! In the video you well see the cockpits match what you see on the exterior as well as on the interior. This took an incredible amount of dedication and time, and the FW:ToW team thank him for his continuing efforts.

As well, we also have some new model/texture debuts, ETA-2 and V-Wing, done by Bouma and Omega, respectively. As you will see within the video, we're trying to make the cockpit mode a viable option for those of you that enjoyed the X-Wing Vs. TIE-Fighter and X-Wing Alliance series of games.

In addition to this our team has finally decided on a combat prototype to use for our mod. We've done away with engine kill completely and it feels incredible. Why485, as well as myself, have been working on FX for the mod. Deety and myself have been working on adapting the combat prototype to other ships into the game. I also wanted to take this time to say thank you to the FW:ToW Combat Prototype Testers for their incredible feedback which allowed us to refine our ideas into what we have now.

Also in this video, you will see some of the new NPC AI development that has been done primarily by Deety and Why485. They have done a fabulous job on giving the non-player characters (NPCs) some serious brains!

I hope you enjoy the video.

God dammit, drool all over the place...

[Sirrush69]

Mission Accomplished :D

You sir, have won the internets.

I have only one complaint. This mod has forced me to dig out my old copy of XW:A and convince it to work with vista. Worth it, but I still hold you responsible. If this mod can top the sheer joy of that classic, I wish to offer you my house / my sister's hand in marriage / a small European country of your choice as thanks. :)

I understood that they're trying to find a balance between Arcade and X-Wing vs TIE Fighter style.

Fuck why are u just recording in cockpit! Ffs i want to see whole ship the whole video is fucked now....

[Rotceev]

A bit too much HUD... just a bit too much on screen. Especially in the TIE fighters... and uhm... who controls the TIE fighter? there are no hands! controls are not moving! (maybe set the camera a bit closer to the windows? I bet a better gameplay this will make hm?) Keep it up, very good work is going on.

[Luciferdesrea]

Very well done!

[Dorchagraine]

Tie Defender... wow... is this for freelancer?

[dartagnan0079]

[TangFiend]

The asplosions are teh good

[imperialpod]

A good balance of Arcade and X-wing sim style has a name and its called..........STARLANCER!

Why god didn't someone else own the source code for Starlancer, why,why,why?

[Poonan1923]
