chris 07 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 [WIP] Star Wars Galaxy ModificationThread number 5! === What's new in this thread? === - Reorganisation category added- New screenshots added!- Removed a categroy- Updated Our Goal- General updatesUpdated: 08-12-2007 Dear Elderscrolls Community, Welcome to the Star Wars Galaxy Modification thread! This modification aims to partly create the worlds of Star Wars. This is NOT a total conversion and will be perfectly compatible with the original Oblivion world. In fact you will be able to decide for yourself wether you want to play a part in the universe of Star Wars! This modification will take place between Episode III (Revenge of the Sith) and Episode IV (A new Hope), because this is a largely unexplored period in the Star Wars galaxy. I can already hear you say "That makes absolutely no sense!". We've thought about this aswell. Nirn is a planet in the Star Wars galaxy - existing on the very edge of the galaxy. The midichlorians were not able to inhabit the planet and its lifeforms is because there are other microscopic lifeforms on the planet that the midichlorians are extremely sensitive to - dying upon contact, called the Nirnichlorians. The nirnichlorians exist in the atmosphere and in the air all over Nirn, and in the bodies of all life forms on Nirn. Because they exist in one's body and in the air, the person (or creature) is able to "bend" the chemicals connecting the Nirnichlorians between the person and the air, and therefore create different types of "magic" such as creating a catalyst and producing fire, or slowing down the reaction, creating ice, or creating a magnetic field between opposite polar nirnichlorians, creating lightning, and able to launch it. As midichlorians connect all lifeforms in the star wars galaxy with the force, nirnichlorians connect all lifeforms on nirn through a perversion of the force: Magicka. Humans arrived on Nirn years ago when their ship crashed in Atmora. The ship burnt to ash, and through generations, technological knowledge dissipated, leaving them barbaric, struggling to survive the extreme cold. The Midichlorians that they carried eventually died through generations of breeding, and they adopted the Nirnichlorians, and hence, the Nede were actually humans from another planet - probably Coruscant or Corellia. Also, the Redguard are descendants of some of the survivors who traveled to Yokuda rather than settling Atmora and spreading into Tamriel. Let's move on! :: Table of Contents ::0. Reorganisation1.

ReorganisationFor various reasons we decided to do a complete reorganisation of our team wich will; soon go into effect. We deem tihs nescesary for the succesful completion of our modification. I have noted that many members, although some dedicated, are just doing some bits and pieces from out work list. This is not effective enough and takes TOO much time. So here are some new guidelines wich will soon go into effect: - We will periodicly check to see if members are still active and are actually performing work- We will hold meetings wherin progress is discussed, this can be on MSN or IRC (Will be decided at a later date)- All departments will get a head, effectivly being the representative for that particular department in meetings- Applications will be reviewed before accepting them, to prevent useless members- Department Heads will take note of progress and collect all materials from everyone- Finished and unfinished work will be kept on seperate forums We will need the following Heads:Head modellerHead TexturerHead Exterior/Interior creatorHead ScripterHead World creatorHead Landscaper Department heads will soon be announced, also the first active member check will be done on 09-12-2007. Also from now on all applications will be reviewed by chris07. 1. Our GoalExperience has teached us that it's a bad idea to release it when everything is done. In fact most modifications this size never get released. This is not where the problems lie. The problem is that everything made is lost, thus the community has nothing to work with anymore in case somebody wants to make the mod again. In order to prevent this we will provide the community with incremental updates, meaning one world at a time. This assures us that we can make a proper release. The end result should become: - Create aproxomitly 10 planets or atleast a specific part of them from the Star Wars Galaxy- Create many races from the Star Wars Galaxy (See the list!)- Various quests and joinable factions including the Rebellion and the Empire- Custom models, meshes and animation- Many, many more, tune in whenever you like to check for updates in this thread. For the Alpha release we will attempt to recreate atleast 1 planet and as many races as possible. The recreated planets will have atleast one outpost for travelling purposes. Also most planets will be mainly wilderness as creatures are to be implented later. Want to know more? Read on! 2.

The TeamWithouth one, this mod will never be realised. Currently the amount of members is low seeing as the modification has only recently started up. As you can see, we need members urgently!

Support us!We are in need of various dedicated members. With that I mean, members who are active, contribute regulary and who will not run off just like that. To prevent this modification from getting rushed there will be standards and guidelines such as: - You must have experience with the CS- You must understand what unclean entries are PROPERLY and how to remove them PROPERLY- Any assets added via the CS will have a name that starts with "a1SWG".- Assets will never end with 1, 2 or 3, but with 01, 02 or 03- Unclean entries are to be removed with Tes4Gecko or Tes4Edit- Scripts should be kept as simple and short as possible- Models must atleast have the quality of the vanilla meshes There are more of these but we will encounter them along the way. As of this moment we are in serious need of: Modellers: Interiors, Exteriors, Weapons, Armor, Clothes etc.Texturers: Interiors, Exteriors, Weapons, Armor, Clothes etc.Level Designers: Exteriors and Interiors etc.Writers: Holocrons, books, quests etc.Animators: Lightsaber Combat, Blaster & Rifle combat animationsScripters: Alot of things, could be for a quest, spell etc. If you are interested send me (chris07) a private message and we will review your application. Please note that it may take a while before we accept or decline you!!! If you have any ideas, hints, tips or you just want to discuss the modification please do so in this thread. To assist the moderators, if you have any questions regarding this modification do not open a new thread, post it in this one. Thank you! We will be making the planet Tatooine first!

shadowace Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 If they make everything themselves they shouldn't have to worry about copyright will they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris 07 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Nearly everything is being made from scratch. Nothing from any game or the movies will be used. (besides oblivion but duh.) Besides, we already got permission along time ago to do this. So basicly...where is the problem?Edit: @%&$!ban: I've been living that dream. :PEdit#2: I would like to welcome Reepimeister to the team. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris 07 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 two reasons, A) too big a fileB) Do you really want to wait until the whole world is done? Or all the worlds? Might take a long time dont you think? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
