Firefly Mod
« on: March 02, 2012, 01:43:07 PM »
Hi there. I've been working on a small little mod over the 2002-2003 TV show Firefly. I've decided to share this one with the internet for two main reasons. Help finding graphics of the ships, and B: Help with the actual programming.

I've added in the Firefly frigate (with machine guns so it's not completely useless) and I am working on making it purchasable in the campaign.

Although the mod is very early in development, I will release a public version once I've added the Alliance Cruiser in.

Progress:
Firefly-class Freighter (Not implemented into game yet)

Ah, yes--of all possible sci-fi universe mods, a mod set in the Firefly universe would undoubtedly work the best with the way starfarer currently plays. I wish you luck with this project.

Replace game sounds with voice rips from the show or GTFO.

(This mod gets my hearty endorsement regardless.)

Now this little guy desperately needs a glow animation of its 'belly' :)

Hoping that Alex will introduce such options in the future.

I know that in the game graphic files there is a sort of strike-charge-frigate thing with some sort of glow graphic, so I don't imagine this will be hard for Alex. Either way, OHMYGOD YES YES YES YES YES THIS MUST BE IN THE GAME. But don't use the hi-res images, try and pixelize them a bit, maybe go over with a couple filters in Paint.NET in order to fit it into the game style. Also, how do you have the weapon arrangements? I personally think that it should have a deck gun (as in the movie reboot), and maybe a ballistic PD point or two, along with a retardedly high speed and a retardedly high storage capacity, kind of like the Tarsus but weaker and faster.

This is a good idea but I only see one problem.

The Serenity has no weapons to defend itself with.

Didn't they add like a bunch in the finale? I might remember it incorrectly though, but I somehow recall there having been a fight in reaper space or.. something like that!
I could be imagining things..

Just before the end of the movie where the Alliance and Reavers fight it out in space, the Firefly crew mounts a small AA gun to their ship before leaving the planet Miranda.  It is the only weapon they add, and they only use it on one enemy ship (reaver). 

You aren't entirely crazy, you are just missing some details.
