The skybox (the planet below) was done by me using Universe and somehow it just feels right. For once, there's no explosions, debris or any special effects getting in the way and yet it still evokes the high level of action the mod has. media1440 http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-dogfighter/images/at-st-exploding Thu, 06 Feb 2003 23:19:04 -0600 The AT-ST and Rebel Tank (inspired by Force Commander) were two....I guess you'd call them classes that don't get much play. I find them extremely fun, if played on a proper map - something SW:D has always lacked. With the addition of those two classes (not to mention the storm trooper that was removed) SW:D started to stray again from it's name and became more genric. As a side note, I'm really interested in that Star Wars Battlefield 1942 mod, it should be great and everything that SW:D should've been. media1438 http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-dogfighter/images/x-wing-onkessel Thu, 06 Feb 2003 23:13:36 -0600 This is one of Quest's screenshots and I'm not entirely sure what's going on here. It could be just a skybox, but it seems like a map to me, and if it is a map, I never saw it. I should mention that the X-Wing model was really what triggered the Roids: Arena concept to start changing to SW:D. I found out a lot later the model is from the famous Star Wars Quake: Call of the Force - they dumped a lot of great models into the community for free use when they switched to Quake 2 - after that I stopped paying attention to them. That is, until they attacked SW:D in a thread on their forum, claiming it to be, essentially, AirQuake with new models. The debate raged on for a few days and the thread was locked before anyone could explain the misunderstanding. In the end I felt kinda ticked off - but please, no one else bring that one up again. media1437 http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-dogfighter/images/fleeing-from-ties Thu, 06 Feb 2003 23:04:04 -0600 Although this looks like the climactic sequence in Return of the Jedi, it's really just another skybox applied to roiddm2. Oh well. It's interesting to note that SW:D changes quite a few things taken for granted in Quake, most notable there's a new palette used with at least one major difference - a flourescent green that is used for the Empire's blaster cannons. While this is not entirely accurate to the films, particularly A New Hope where TIEs are quite clearly shown firing red blasters/tubolasers, it is accurate to Star Wars Rogue Squadron, which is the game I took most of my inspiration from. Besides, in a massive confusing battle it's much more helpful to know who is shooting at who - especially since many of the ships are excessively gray. media1436 http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-dogfighter/images/assualt-on-the-death-star Thu, 06 Feb 2003 22:56:23 -0600 This is, of course, just a skybox applied to the included roiddm2 map, but it was a particular good skybox I made with SkyPaint. It's a shame all the various skyboxen and unfinished maps didn't make the cut in the alpha release. media1435 http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-dogfighter/images/millenium-falcon Thu, 06 Feb 2003 22:52:25 -0600 This is one of Quest's shots, he and Tomaz apparently always played as the millenium Falcon - no wonder, the ship has two linkable cannons that fire two shots each and is one of the heaviest armored ship in the game. There's a reason of course, the Millenium Falcon and Slave One were supposed to be 'secret' and unique ships that were only accessible a special way. I decided that this special way would involve capturing something - ala picking up a weapon in Quake. The whole idea was scrapped when I started work on BaseWars. media1434 http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-dogfighter/images/more-rebel-scum-meeting-their-doom Thu, 06 Feb 2003 22:46:41 -0600 This probably was an earlier shot than the rest as there isn't quite as much smoke or debris, either that or I managed to capture the explosion just as it occured. I think the latter. I spent a lot of time flying around the TIE advanced, during testing the TIE-A had a fully functional hyper drive with 30 blasts in it and it was great to zoom around the map, fight a little, and zoom out. You can even use the hyperdrive as a weapoin, but be careful not to while on max power on the engines :) media1433 http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-dogfighter/images/another-explosion Thu, 06 Feb 2003 22:42:04 -0600 The explosions in Tomaz's SW:D engine were just beautiful, words cannot describe them. Combined with the high resolution full color explosion sprite generated with LordHavoc's lhfire and the smoke from the various debris that fly off into space, it's a captivating event that begs you to press the screenshot key :) media1432 http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-dogfighter/images/b-wing-flying-on-tatooine Thu, 06 Feb 2003 22:36:31 -0600 This is actually a DID map, and I was just testing ground vehicles on. Harb from the ELF team (which made DID) was onboard as a mapper for a little while, but like so many mappers, didn't produce much. Actually, he made one of only about 4 maps that we had - it was unplayable though, just a huge Star Destroyer. I should put a few ents in it and spiff it up, it might be interesting. media1431 http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-dogfighter/images/a-tie-advanced-blasting-rebel-scum Thu, 06 Feb 2003 22:31:45 -0600 This is an early shot, with a old skybox that's probably been used to death. media1430
