I've been working on this backdoors for a bit, and it's been evolving since I first started.

Back in the day (what has it been like 3 years?) it used a laggy, terrible flying system where you pressed Q and a self propelling damage attack would be done to you. Over and over. Poor, crap. But i've worked out a vehicle-ish flying structure for the character, and it works fine. So, the rest of the modification can evolve.

I'm also having a problem where the character can't animate with the rig I used. (Temporary, of course, the model blows right now and it's no longer the old shat one either). Even if I leave the rigs unchanged, I always get an animation does not match error.

I'd love some help and support on this! I'm tired of working alone.

Here are some old screenies (they were all mainly look, not performance):

For anyone that would like to help, I'm looking for people who are established and known for their works. No one new, no one slightly new, and no one with a bad name. There have been just about zero completed Total Conversions of this game. There is no way in hell I'm letting this go into the dump. It just looks so kickass.

Graphically speaking, it's going to look gorgeous, because I can actually use my overemphasis on lighting and colors for something that isn't going to make people think I'm on crack.

Gameplay wise, it's not going to be Halo, AT ALL. Even the current, terrible, can't-do-shit-in-build is nothing like Halo. So technically it's already reached that stage of Total Conversion, except you can't really do anything.

Remember this...good stuff. Wasn't there a pub beta? Because I think I played this...might also be that I'm confusing this with Bid For Power...

i can also help you, because i was thinking about a dragon ball mod a while ago. I can assist you with any scriting you would need ( i.e special attacks when you press control or spacebar or anything), you name it i can script it

There was one I had released which included a crazy set of instructions on how to play properly.

Bid for Power was a great conversion, one of the inspirations for this. The other is ESF (Earth's Special Forces), for Half-Life.

Sort of. Halo can't support the cel-shaded lighting effects, but I bake them into the character's textures. (and of course give the model a black outline with an inverted push clone and black texture).

I'm guessing that this is somehow related to "Super City" or whatever....I always said that it seemed more DBZ related than Superwhatever...I would love to see this.

The creator of Supercity, Fugative, used my Q method to fly (we had talked). They aren't related, but they spun off the same base.

Like you and your sister?...

........

Looks good though... even if I don't understand the fascination with DB/Z *shrug*

best of luck to ya.

I'd be willing to model stuff for ya and maybe a little texturing but when it comes down to effects and getting fancy with the engine, I suck. I'm pretty familiar with the DBZ universe so if you need a place modeled it should be pretty easy.

I can see this being sweet....is the whole flying thing where you spawn in a vehicle when you press something and you just fly about?

Is there gonna be a map for planet Namek? it should be pretty easy to model, its just open field and random plateaus everywhere. i think it would be a cool arena syle map to fight on.

That is fucking hot.

Any videos of this map? (I don't care if their old).

Yes, actually! In fact, I had one! Neuro modeled one for me a while back, except I can't exactly find it ><

Funny but I'm actually re-watching the series with my room mate. He was always like "GAH I DONT LIEK DBZ ITS TOO DUMB" now he's all into it.

On a forum I found the first five episodes, Funi dub, three languages, excellent quality, uncut. I've got up to 20 so far, and the rest after episode five are the Ocean dub where all the blood and shit's cut out, and THE CHOPPER TEHY DESTROYD WAZ A ROBOT and TEH BUILDING WAZ EMPTEEE WEN NAPPA BLOO TEH SHIT OUT IT

;[

I'm thinking of buying the first season if too many more are the ocean dub, I can't handle Vegeta sounding like a little BITCH. D:<

Dragon ball GT... Whatever happened to the days when everyone was satisfied by floating yellow hair? Then all of a sudden people are turning into golden apes and shit. I think that ruined the series. Even more.

lol, so true.

anyways, how many maps are you planning on having for these. i think it would be neat to have a few different environments to fight in. Some ideas i had were the Kame house:

And the Kami's lookout:

but also we dont wanna have a lot of maps to do the same fighting in. because thats just more work.

Because of those FUCKING furries. ;[

But yeah I kind of agree. After the Frieza saga the series kind of lost it's shine. When Goku went Super Saiyan for the first time I was like "HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!" then Cell came along and everyone was doing it.

Super Saiyan Vegeta was pretty bad fucking ass though...
