I'm not in BoB and I hope to have some new stuff to show this coming weekend. I can't work on it very much this week because I have some projects due and another midterm.

I'd like some input on what we should name the mod, I've picked out my favorites from our (long) internal list, and came up with a couple more.
EVE: Bloodshed Dawn
EVE: Dark Ages
EVE: Dominion Days
EVE: The Dark Wars (or EVE: Dark Wars)
EVE: Fall of Man -- note: follows with EVE's current naming styles, Second Genesis, Exodus, Revelations, and since this is pre-exodus I figured the most appropriate biblical event would be the fall of man -- aka the fall from grace, etc... And Paradise Lost didn't quite sound appropriate, plus it refers rather directly to Milton's epic poem about the fall of Lucifer.
We really need to decide on a name so that we can finally replace the nasty banner on our forums, as well as being able to refer to the mod as something other than the mouthful of "The HW2 EVE Mod" -- it just doesn't have a nice ring to it.
how's about EVE: Civilization Reborn.
#255
How about EVE: The Babylon wars?
Babylon in the bible was a great unified nation before it fell to peices and the factions started waring with each other, which is pretty simular to EVE.
Hmmm names i dunno.
EVE: The Beginning
"EVE : Dark Wars" sounds good to me.
Some other suggestions based on your initial ideas:
EVE: The Burning Fall
EVE: Crimson Trails
EVE: Dark Descent
EVE: Ashes of Babylon
EVE: Songs of Lament
EVE: Setting Twilight
EVE: The Fall of Men (notice plural)
Of what you had in mind, I liked:
EVE: Bloodshed Dawn
EVE: The Dark Wars (with the article IMO)
Cheers Zatch!
how bout
EvE:Offline
Simplified one a little.
EVE: Falling
I think thats a really good name. It follows the biblical trend of eve expansion names (second genesis, exodus..) and it describes what happened at the start of the big wars between the races really well.How about EVE: The Babylon wars?
#262
I like EVE: The Babylon Wars. I'm going to see what sort of reception it gets on the official EVE forums and will post again if the response is positive.
Yeah thats a good name. Lets hope we get positive feedback.
P.S Zatch why is your name green!!!!!!!
#264
Moderators now have different colored names based on their rank.
ooh funky, any news on the name for the mod?
Irregardless if its morally correct..
(and I haven't been following the post.. I read the first page and jumped to the last)
Extracting ship models from EVE is actually quite simple.. You'll find that the .stuff files has all the information you need. The .tri files are the models themselves.. and then within the .blue files are mappings to the correct shaders textures and everything else (such as the right propulsion colors.. etc)..
I know for a fact its against EVE's EULA to reverse engineer the client.. but I don't know if its deemed 'illegal'..
#267
omgh4x, if you had bothered to even just have a fast look at the thread so faar, you'd have noticed alot of cool screen shots, and the fact that a lot of ships have already been converted to HW2 with the permission of the CCP team.
#268
Alliance is right, read before posting.
Also the response for "EVE: The Babylon Wars" was negative. Looking at a new list of possibilities yet again.
*Ahem*
EVE: Fallen(or Falling)
EVE: The Unnamed war
#271
Clever.
#272
for the Incursus.
Linky
No guns yet, but the textures (including glow and specular maps) are done, as are the engine trails.
Yummyness!! Whats next?
Ok on the Subject of Names how about.
Eve : Empires
Eve : End of all hope
Eve : The Crusades (would prolly only work if the amarr were the only playable race in single player or amarr based story)
Eve : The Titan Wars
ill keep thinking.
EVE: Equillibrium? lol

EVE: The Birth of Conflict
Gah, my mind is empty, I'll post some more after I feed.
Oooh I like that one. Probably for the wrong reasons though.EVE: Equillibrium
Last edited by Zatch; 6th Nov 06 at 3:24 PM.
alright i have an idear to
The forgotten conflict EVE
#279
Zatch, is that a machariel on the side there?
maybe EVE: Days of Honor
<Kalimac>Schakal - he's the hero #art deserves... but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him, set the dogs on him, because he can take it.<***>god was sitting on the swiss alps and making germans. and the ones he didn't get right, he just tossed over his shoulder...
The one on the right is the Thanatos(with writing saying "Mad's t3h greatest"Originally Posted by Alliance
) and the one on the left looks like the back of a Moros.
#282
I was thinking moros too, but the back of them are simular, so I wasnt sure. but on closer inspection its missing the Machs booster pack thingies, so its probably a moros.
#283
Actually it's an Erebus. Also remember the Thanatos doesn't have your name on it any more, that was a one-time thing.
You can see the current version of the Thanatos in the video I posted a while back, showing off the sexy specular highlights.
EVE: Equilibrium isn't appropriate because it implies stability.
EVE: The Crusades won't work because we're going to have two campaigns, the Gal/Cal and the Min/Amr.
How Bout EVE: Galactic Chaos? I know it sounds cliche but it works.
EVE: Dawn of Strife
EVE: First Age of Strife
EVE: Beginning of the End
EVE: Wars of Faith
EVE: Clash of the Giants
EVE: Clashing Faith
EVE: Dawning Nightmare
EVE: The Rise of Hatred
I'll keep brainstorming :num:
EVE: End of Dreams.
EVE: Aeon of Strife.
#288
New screenshots!
Incursus with all 3 Light Neutron Blaster Is (thus 6 hardpoints) -- link
Erebus with proper glow maps -- link
This is what the Erebus used to look like: frownie face
You really knwo how to tease us
Can't wait for this mod! :hwpilot:
That Erebus is fawking sexy.
some excellent new screenshots there, as for names
EVE: Descension into Anarchy
?
:P
Will the maps be larger to accomondate the size of the ships?
Nope, each map can only hold about 1 inty and thats it. Yes the maps will be big enough. I'd say the titans will be the size of Tanis, mabey a bit smaller?
#294
I'll give a size comparison, check back in about 5 minutes. Also the maps will be much larger to compensate, almost all of the screenshots are taken on my test map, where the momships start right in front of each other (good for very quick combat testing.)
Edit:
Avatar, Erebus, Incursus, Thanatos, versus Tanis (in the sensor manager) --
link
So the Erebus is roughly 5x the length of Tanis. Tanis is about 20% taller than the Erebus.

You seem to be making a lot of good progress...can you give us an update on what has been done and what still needs to be done (not a release time by any means)?
10% of life is what happens to you and 90% is what you DO about it
#296
Stuff to do:
Import all of the ships (~15%)
Script all of the ships (~10%)
Import all of the weapons (~15%)
Script all of the weapons (~5%)
Create new weapon effects (~5%)
Finalize familylist.lua (~10%)
Finalize race.lua (100%)
Redesign the interface (>0%)
Replace all formations (0%)
Replace all strikegroups (0%)
Build & Research menus (0%)
A working AI (0%)
Resourcing system (0%)
Create or import sounds (0%)
Create two campaigns (0%)
I'm probably forgetting several things too, just a rough outline there.
I'm bouncing between different jobs to keep myself from getting bored. Just recently I acquired a working decompiled hw2styles.lua, so I've been tinkering with the interface a bit.
Wow those Titans are gonna be big.
Zatch how many people are working on this mod other than yourself right now?
#299
At the moment it's just me. I believe Iostream is busy with some other mod work and I haven't heard from the other team members lately. One new recruit, though (Kibble) is perusing a document I wrote, collecting the tools, and generally preparing to help me with the model and texture pipeline.
Will there ever be like a closed beta?
