Is anyone making a space hulk mod?

[Darklord]

Well this would be cool!

Finally got to finish my proof of concept sci-fi wallset from earlier (mostly used to test out the GMT). However, I think a sci-fi mod could work really well!

I'd love to rebuild the tileset with my own textures and make a sci-fi dungeon. Unfortunately, I think the GMT will come first, so that's a way off yet!

[Darklord]

Nice work John!

I didn't know you were a singer?
John Woodworth, everyone. Talents out the wazoo.

GW and square-enix are some of the worst when it comes to fan stuff,

talking about that, some guys tried to adapt space hulk as a PC game. they did, but had to change the name (and some other stuff): alien assault.
but releasing a mod and a full game are two different things, i have a chrono trigger texture pack on minecraft and as far as i know the maker never had any problem
AA even has some space hulk mods (http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Alien_Assault for those interested) so yeah, you should be relatively safe
good work/luck

why is everyone so worried about the name?

Just call it Star Wreckage.

@Komag: Games Workshop are famous for sending Cease and Desist orders to anyone and everyone that does anything that looks like a Games Workshop IP. There was a little 'Print and Play Pocket Spacehulk' game someone made that was awesome but taken down hardly no time after it was uploaded.

They're probably watching us now getting ready to throw a drop pod of Terminators at us.

A bit off topic, but did anyone play that 1st person Space Hulk game on PSOne. That was awesome, fighting hordes of gene stealers. The voice sampling was great "Ezekiel to your..." (Loads up next audio sample as you get torn apart)... "Left!". ((Thanks...))

I was bored and made a script that creates a pretty convincing flickering light effect that would fit in well with a sci-fi setting.

Code: Select all

spawn("prison_ceiling_lamp", self.level, self.x, self.y, self.facing, self.id.."blink")
spawn("timer", self.level, self.x, self.y, self.facing, self.id.."timey")

timey = findEntity(self.id.."timey")
blink = findEntity(self.id.."blink")

timey:setTimerInterval(0.075)
timey:addConnector("activate", self.id, "randomblink")
timey:activate()

function randomblink()
local X = math.random(1,4)
	if X == 1 then
		blink:toggle()
	end
end

put it in my mod and i got this

Great, now who knows who many scrips I've put on the forums don't work in other people's games.
