RubberEagleRubberEagle What's a rubber eagle used for, anyway?
in Babylon 5
I'm proud to present you the first moving in-game footage from the Babylon 5 mod for StarLancer (title yet to be announced). It features an intense StarFury dogfight.

(damn.. I'm starting to sound like a PR-guy..)

    You have to open the file with WinRar (a file compressor that also read WinZip files).

    Nice.

    thanks [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    yeah, i know you don't see much of our models, but this was mainly made to show some action [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img] (for beauty shots of the models, we have screenshots [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img])

    Worf: yeah.. everybody seems to use the ItF music lately.... but it just is too great not to use it.

    yes, maybe i should have included some kind of readme maybe... it's a .rar compressed file, should be unpack able with all the common compression softwares... the video it self is DivX 4.01.

    btw.. that drunk who was flying the fury was me (but i was sober, i swear)

    That's because you don't have the DivX codec.

    What's with this flood of movies? [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    It's a great movie, though. I love how the pace of the music is matched so well with the combat. Any word on a higher quality vesion? [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    I don't quite understand the movie. Is Microsoft making a B5 game for the PC or XBOX or something like that? Or is this a version of B5:ITF game that Microsoft is going to make? Also if Msft is going to release a B5 type game is there a release date or anything like that. And also is this a full B5 game like B5:ITF was suppose to be or just like a little demo type game that you can only play starfury's on.

    Where'd Microsoft come into this?

    Microsoft published Starlancer. Digital Anvil was the developer.

    This is not a new game. Someone is using the Starlancer game engine to make a MOD, much the same way that other teams are using the Homeworld engine and Freespace 2 engines to make their own mods.
  • virusvirus Lurker
    Im glad that people like the video [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    The Mod itself is doing fine. We are currently making and texturing new models and RE is writing the script. Il be re-doing our website the next weekend, the old one sucks... Big time.

    Will be "possibly" releasing some new stuff soon, so stay tuned [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]

    hm.. how did i make the video.. ok.. here's the story:
    I tried capturing my flying with some programs (hypercam, camstasia,..), but the best i could get out was 2frames per second. so i changed to plan B. I connected the PC to one of the auxiliary A/V input's at our TV set, wich is connected through another set of A/V Cables to the VCR. then i recorded my flying onto a videcassette, pluged the VCR into my TV Card, and recorded it back into the computer... (then i had to make the logo, find the right music, cut everything together, plus the copyright thingie..).
    And, yes, it'd be possible to make a higher quality video. But could take some time (next weekend..)
  • RubberEagleRubberEagle What's a rubber eagle used for, anyway?
    Some overal infos about the mod:

    It takes placed during the Earth Alliance Civil war, so we mostly have EF-ships and some minbari vessels (plus civilian ships).
    The player will have access to different versions of StarFuries and T-Bolts as he advances through the storyline, wich is, IMHO quite exciting and involving (or i hope it, after all, I'm writing it).
    We will have Ingame cutscenes for the most part, but for the real exciting stuff, we were able to get Conor Clancy (Jack Shit) from the B5MG to render us some cool stuff [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    Btw. the models you see in the video (allthough you don't see their real beatuy [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]) are my new StarFury (aurora) models. they are, I have to say, quite detailed [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    yeah, it's like that... Although i
    wouldn' mind either if that was a full game (or StarLancer missiondisk) with me and my team in the lead [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img] .. damn.. what we could do... Cutscenes with actors... maybe programming vertical thrusters into the engine... yeah, that would be cool [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Ditto. I noticed the framerate was high, and the lack of any annoying watermarks also supported the idea of other recording methods.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    I based my assumption on that being the cheapest method. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

  • RubberEagleRubberEagle What's a rubber eagle used for, anyway?
    *hehe* actually, i originaly wanted to have some kind of watermark (the B5 logo..), but i dropped it... the only thing i want to get rid of next is the black frame around the picture, and then i'l drop the framerate to 22 or 24 frames.. (to lower the file size a little bit more..)

    btw. It's great to see that this little video got such a unbelievable response [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img] ( we didn't do much "publicity" yet..)

    I didn't know anyone was picking up any of the graphics in order to do anything with the B5 games. Could someone tell me more

    Just to be clear here, they are not using anything from the commercial Babylon 5 game. I think that's what you were asking.
