Galactic Mercenary: The Chaos Of War! Who wants to be the lucky rigger?

[Jallon]

I have an important anouncement!!

Galactic Mercenary has now combined with Andromeda Mod: The Chaos Of War. (Hence the new mod title.) AlecZacool (the leader of that mod) will now be helping to develop Galactic Mercenary!

Expect to see quite a few of his ideas appearing on this front page.

Yay!!


Our new website was just made by Quaillover!! Here's the link! (Please note, there are some major typos on the website, but we'll get around to fixing them sometime.

Some of you might have heard of my mod, Galactic Mercenary, which was hosted over on MBX. Recently, my computer got a virus, and I lost all of my modding work, so I am now restarting the mod in a new direction. (see below for description of mod) I felt that last time, you weren't actually a mercenary so that will be different this time.

First of all, meet the team.

Also, I am looking for a rigger if anyone is interested. Please make an application inside the thread. Include a description of how long you've been modding, and when you're usually online.
Requirements for Rigger:
Must be willing to download AIM Pro, Trillian, or some communication and file-sharing system.
Must know how to Rig.
Must be a hard-worker.

I am also looking for a texturer if anyone is interested. Please make an application inside the thread. Include a description of how long you've been modding, and when you're usually online.
Requirements for texturer:
Must be willing to download AIM Pro, Trillian, or some communication and file-sharing system.

Now for a description of the mod.



Have you ever played a game set in a fantasy universe? You know, the kind with elves, centaurs, and great mythical beasts, and races? Maybe you were a great hero in that realm, that saved everyone from a big bad demon, but....

What happens afterwards?


Galactic Mercenary is set in a future fantasy environment. The lush green plains of the fantasy realm you are used to have become a rocky asteroid. There are many organizations on this little asteroid, many races, and many warriors...



In a time where there are firearms, and magic, combat can be an interesting thing. There are rumors of great scientists inventing prototype laser guns, and plasma blades. When fighting in this war, you must be careful, smart, and strong.

What kind of warrior are you?


There are two types of warriors in this brutal war, Traditionalists, and Idealists. Traditionalists follow the old ways of the races, and only use old weapons, armor, and magic. Idealists use a combination of the old ways, and new technology. Maybe a lasergun, and a summoning spell combined. Whatever they want.



The year is now 2094, and 2 major corporations on the asteroid are trying to take control of the natural resources it has. They have become interlocked in war. You are a neutral person, looking to make money. You have become what is called, a galactic mercenary. Hire soldiers, and hire your men and yourself out for money. Get rich on the spoils of war and do whatever the hell you want.



Also, to anyone willing/wanting to show their support for Galactic Mercenary, I have made a new signature. To use it, copy this code into your profiles signature.

2.Each race has their own kinds of weapons and armor, with their own style, that you can use to conquer your enemies.
3.Dont like the tradtionalist styles? Then equip yourself in modern combat armor and weaons.
4.Recently developed, laser weapons are accurate, powerful, heavy, and expensive. They work by having a large backpack equipped to you that generates the laser firepower, and that laser is then shot out through the gun. Its a great weapon, but it weighs quite a bit.
5.Be a mercenary! Hire yourself out to whoever you want. The more exprienced you are, the harder jobs you get, and the greater the reward.
6.Have many new companions with you, to help you on your missions.
7.Buy a base to serve as your HQ. Upgrade it with fortifications, and the like. Think of Dionisia, except futuristic, and your enemies will always be attacking your base.
8.Attack and kill who you want. The rules of society dont apply to you, so do whatever you want. Dont like someone? then get rid of them.
9.Be careful, because if you make enemies, they will attack you, and it wont be easy to kill them without a fortified base.
10.Everyhing is new, almsot nothing from native will be used. Its like a whole new game!
11. Now this one is a biggy. Galactic Mercenary has its own custom soundtrack, made from scratch by Quaillover!
12.One of the major combat features for this mod will be ship battles. When you travel on land, you have normal battles, but when you take your Hovercopter out into space, you have to fight from it. Try not to fall off!

NOTICE- Screenshots have been taken down. I did this because they represented an older version and vision of Galactic Mercenary. I'll try and get some new ones up soon.

Mod Stories.

The following are some stories that have been made from the mod. Some might have screenshots, some might not.

(click to show/hide)

Here is a batch of screen shots...with a story to go with it. (Screen shots may not exactly be true to the story)

Sven stepped off the ship. The city of Zendar wasn't much to look at intact, the only thing really going for it was the space port. The place was grimy and the walls were covered in a variety of human fluids. Thugs ran amuck, with riot police chasing them down. Whores hanging out in front of the bar, and drunken brawls were carried out in the street. It was perfect haven for him. His last fiasco left him with a laughing employer, a bunch of angry lawyers, very little money, and extremely pissed off. He needed the atmosphere to hide in.

He slammed the door open on the only respectable looking joint. Three people only, he thought, perfect. He walked up to the counter and asked for the strongest thing the bartender had. The bartender quickly handed him a bottle. Sven took a swig, then coughed, and broke the bottle on the counter, "What is this shit?"



The room became quiet. The bartender looked into Sven's eye's and told him that no one insults his bar. He reached for a shotgun under the counter, but met a fierce argument to that move.



Two shots silenced the unfortunate barkeep. The blood splattering all over the bottles in the back. Good. That will make the drinks stronger, Sven thought. An old geezer shouted from the back of the room, "What the hell did you that for?"

Sven turned around, "Gramps your diapers will be wet with more than one more kind of fluid, if you keep talking like that."

"On shit eh? You're all talk and no show."

An attractive slut spoke to the old man, "Now Kradus take it easy."

"No! Let's see if he's good or just debs."

Kradus pulled out a knife and started to charge Sven. Sven turned around and fired several shots.



The old man fell to the floor wheezing. Sven walked up to him, and put a pistol to his crotch.

"I warned you about your diapers didn't I?"



He fired and dropped the bottle. The bitch came up scream at him. He wasn't exactly listening to her, but when she started pounding him with her fists, she got a well earned shiv in her gut. Laughing erupted in the background. A young man was there. Quite well dressed. His mommy and daddy probably cut him loose tonight for the first time.

"Funny is it?"

"Yes it is. My dad could use a man like you."

"Really what's his name?"

"Braun, Jerry Braun."

His old client. The one that forced him to move into this dump. Sven pick up the old man's knife. It's quite well balanced. Wonder where the geezer got it.

"What's your name?"

"You can call me Mr. Braun."

"Well MISTER Braun. Your daddy cheated me and dumped me on the this hell hole, and you happen to be the first step to revenge."

The kid brought up a pistol and pulled the trigger. Nothing happened.

"Kid your supposed to turn off the safety."

One bullet in the kid's head.

"That will shut you up."

Sven felt quite better as he left.

[Drizzt]

Sounds good, what type of models do you need?

Edit: Sorry for the one-liner.

[Jallon]

I dont really need help with models. Ive been modelling for qutie awhile now, and guspav is very experienced. (hes the maker of the mesoaemerican mod), and trid3nt is getting pretty good too.


If you want to contribute some modes, you can. Modern guns and swords, or something fanasyish. If you do make a model for me, you cant use it in another mod. All of our models will be orignal.

[Drizzt]

Hmm, alright, I don't think I can really do much for the mod other than offer support, constructive criticism, or some feedback. It seems that you have a great team. Best of luck to you all!

[Jallon]

Thank you, what do you think of the elf model?


And beleive me, all of the models will be very good, but we're still trying to keep everything fairly low-poly.

[Drizzt]

Elf model looks pretty good, though, the hands look oddly attacked. As for Elven swords, do you mean something like LoTR Elven swords?

Edit: I also have a decent name generator if you want names. It has all sorts of stuff.

[Jallon]

Ok, Ill take look at it.


And the elven stuff isnt mch like LOTR. Its fantasyish, but not that kind of style. You'll see.


The hand isnt attached. It has to be seperate from the body, for it to work in-game.

[Drizzt]

Ahh, didn't know that. And fantasy-ish sounds good, but make it unique, more in the form of longer blades and such, and straighter too. Instead, of the shorter, curved baldes.. And maybe some other weapons thrown in?

[Jallon]

Already being done. Im all for original. All of the swords look very cool. Trust me.



After a few mroe days of work, Ill show you all of them.

[Drizzt]

Cool, I can't wait.

Edit: Seems I'm the only supporter at the moment.

[Alec{zacool}]

This is awesome that you moved to taleworlds! I don't like MBX, the mods that moved there have gone downhill so quickly, dark ages of Calradia wouldn't be dead if it didn't move. Also, have you noticed that half of the people here haven't noticed that the latest version of TLD came out.

Wishing you good luck,

-Alec

[Jallon]

Thanks Alec. Guspav made an awsome broadsword, and I got a special quest sword finished. They're pretty cool. Im goin to texture them tomorrow (im supposed to be doing homework right now) and then post somescreenshots.
