who’s in??

A lot of guys before you.

Now the search function is working, you can search for the previous threads. Plans were being made to get working on such a mod, and some SD members even mentioned ways of how it could be pulled off.

I wanna be in! :frowning:

The other topics, from before the “Big Blackout”:

[mod idea] tribes mod… where to start?
The Icarus ruined Quakewars, just like skiing ruined Tribes

(extraordinary) #5

i’d be willing to code for a tribes port project.

(Zarkow) #6

How about a non-Tribes project then? I know it’s far-fetched, but…:wink:

(extraordinary) #7

non-tribes doesn’t interest me. :frowning:

Haggis actually started one of those old threads.

BTW I’ll do a few models once this gets off the ground - there’s some other modding stuff I’m working on atm and I’d rather finish that before I get started on this.

I’m in. I made skins, scripts and voicepacks for T1 and T2. I can map and model.

I’m happy to share any models and textures I make as long as it’s not just a oneway street. I have a mod for et:qw in mind that would benefit greatly from a Tribes base mod to use as a starting place.

I still play tribes 1 :smiley: on the splatterfest server :twisted:, it still
is one of the few games that has me buzzin with adrenaline.

alright, I’ll try and setup a project page shortly. I’ve been swamped at work, and next week is GDC (someone actually let me become a game developer!)

Currently my thoughts are to make a mod that is tribes-inspired, but not try and copy the game directly (too many of those already -> Legends, Ascension, 2845, etc).

A very good and faithful Tribes Base mod of ET:QW is worthwhile

  1. Many first person shooters replicate very similar WWII environments, it doesn’t stop them being popular.

  2. ET:QW will be absolutely HUGE, therefore the installed user base and potential mod user base will be larger than all the Tribes based mods you list combined.

  3. Several other popular mods could be made from a decent Tribes Base mod of ET:QW.

  4. I’ve bought a bargain bucket of live hamsters* and I’m going to stamp on one each day until you change your mind.

  5. 2 words - The Spinfusor

I hope you find those reasons compelling enough.

*The words “live hamsters” is used as a metaphor for me stamping up and down until I get my own way and is not intended to mean actual animal cruelty which is bad, m’kay.
