Descent-like?

It looks like D2X, to tell you the truth.

But the ships are DAMN ugly.

I wanna play a d2x mod for d3

Nope the last post was mine a few minutes ago

Omega Wing is a Space Sim/Deathmatch Multiplayer mod for Half-Life heavily based on descent.
Featuring full 360 degree movement and an assortment of weapons and ships, eventually there will
be team based modes as well.

Now that the intro is out of the way..

I started working on Omega Wing around June 13th, and progress has been very steady. I've
released 6 Alpha's, the latest is available on the page.

It needs custom content, right now most of the models/sounds are hacked descent3 models.
But theres a few new designs already on the way!

So far the weapons/items completed are:
Lasers
Super Lasers
Plasma
Vulcan Cannon
Quad Lasers
Concussion Missiles
Homing Missiles
Smart Missiles
Afterburner's
Afterburner Regulator Addon

Remember, its still in alpha stage, and if you would like to lend a hand Let me know!

I did see a short demo from cockpit view,lloks like it had some promise, but still a Half-Life MOD.

there was a guy in chat yesterday that was saying the project is close to finished, but they were putting a team together to port everything over to HL2.

Mobius · Post by **Mobius** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 9:29 pm

OOOH I stand corrected!

I knew I bought HL2 for a reason!

What does this thing have to do with Core Decision? There's already a team working on a 6DOF Doom 3 mod (Into Cerberon), and there's been no problems between them. HighOctane's trying to release a completely new 6DOF game; any mods for existing games don't concern them in the least.

Into Cerberon looks awesome. The pics of the pyro look wicked.

Stryker · Post by **Stryker** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 2:47 pm

Core Decision is still producing.

In case you haven't noticed, professional dev teams, once they start making a product, DON'T STOP. To do so now would be a major waste of funding.

Some one needs to flash fry this rabbit, how do people like their bunny meat.

On the side note Cerberon is looking good.

I talked to one of the guys developing this mod. It is indeed going to be a HL2 mod and they expect to be betatesting in February.

Here's some preliminary artwork:

Looks awesome, Zan.

Zero! · Post by **Zero!** » Sun Dec 18, 2005 11:40 pm

ship looks better, front looked too long in the first pic

Zanboo · Post by **Zanboo** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 12:02 am

oddly enough it was the cockpit, ship size never changed.

Money! · Post by **Money!** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 12:43 am

Yes but the cockpit governs the whole scale of the ship immensely... it does look alot better.

Hey Zanboo. How about a high-res wallpaper of that ship or any other media you got sofar. That would rock!

Thanks

Zanboo · Post by **Zanboo** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 7:33 am

And I know it's called "Pyro" but we're renaming it.

In fact, two things for you guys:

1. Help rename our flagship er... ship.
2. If you could have any of your favorite Descent 3 maps revisited in Omega Wing, what would they be?

Burning Indika 3
Gladius
Vander's Revenge

throw in a mission editor and the awesome level designers we have will take it from there.

Zanboo · Post by **Zanboo** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 10:47 am

Half-Life 2's editor is called "Hammer". There are a wealth of tutorials available on how to map for HL2. The only real changes would of course be entities, as the Omega Wing Zero entities have not been developed yet. (Weaponry, pickups, etc.)

You can get Hammer from
http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.p ... 700&page=2

And you can find the tutorials @
http://articles.thewavelength.net/

We also need permission to recreate/modify/develop these maps.

Many of the level developers that made the old favorites are no longer in the d3 community. Many of them can be contacted by someone here tho. When you decide which ones to port ask here and somebody will be able to hook you up. If not I would consider many of these things to have been abandoned and would go ahead after making a fair attempt to find these peeps.
