First Strike Mod Update

[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

The First Strike (http://www.firststrikemod.com/) mod team is back today with a new update showing off some more screenshots and a video. Take a look:

No sooner than the New Year is sprung upon us and yet another update for our Fans. The team is very hard at work on lots of aspects of the Mod including HUD work by FSDev| MUHAHAHAHAHA , animation and characters by FSDev| Luuri more on that soon. This update concentrates on the buildings we are currently designing for our Mos Espa Map.

There are a lot more behind the scenes FSDev| Mattes and FSDev| Havoc373 have been particularly busy in this department. Also there is the superbly fashioned (modesty eh?) Wookiee Ryyk Blade designed by yours truly and beautifully brought to life by FSDev| JayBiggs.

FSDev| Preacher has also been hard at work creating new Sky Boxes for our maps here we see two shots of the Imperial Tie Fighter in deep space over Endor. Watch out for more updates on Space soon from FSDev| Woodrow !

Finally we come to the SpeederBike Ingame Video coded by FSDev| GoldenDragon and our beloved Mod Leader.

Cool, thanks man :)

[TheHeartSmasher]

I think it is coming along really nice. What percentage would you say till completion are you guys at.

[dub]

The speeder bike looks fun :]

[Tentacle Master]

Wow that was pretty amazing. I noticed that in game it shows the car icon above your name while your on the bike but in the mini map it showed the aircraft icon heh. It looked kinda fragile; at the end of the vid it was down to 72 armor. can you run down ppl without taking much damage to your bike? you should have ran over some1 in your vid :laugh:

[xEROhOUR]

You can certainly do that and more. Bare in mind this is still WIP with two speeds fast and "OHJEEEEEEEEEZISHATMYPANTS" fast...

As for completion we are making really good headway in all areas, thanks to Woodrows tools and the Team working tirelessly..

A "monster" update will come soon ;)

[Flt. Sgt. Powderhound]

Only one niggling thing that annoyed me- will you eventually be able to see your character's hands on the handlebars?

Ok we have a serious problem with that DICE coded 2142 in such a way that the hands cant be seen in the 1p kit thats riding it at the time.

Now hyperthetically we could put a standard set of gloves on the person riding the bike but then dependant on your class (and we will have many coming up) would you guys be happy seeing gloves ala ScoutTrooper being used for a Wookie riding it ?

[Cutter_Wolf™]

If your going to add in the gloves I'd just go with a plain black set. If you don't want to have to add in gloves at all just move the handlebars all the way back until you can just see the inner end caps. That way no matter who is on it they won't be able to see their hands but, still be able to see that there are handlebars.

[xEROhOUR]

Scrap my thread above GoldenDragon has fixed it we now have anyones hands on it, depending of course what Class you are :)

[Venomous]

The bike was taking damage over little bumps, you could fix that, also maybe a dust effect on the ground when it passes over.

[solodude23]

That was awesome. Each freakin video and picture and work of your progress tortures me. :P Keep up the amazing work guys.

Will there be a rebel speeder bike version?
Anyway, that speed boost looks extreemly dangerous...
FS Looks fantastic!

[Mr. Ouija]

If you haven't seen the "First Strike Weapons Testing" vid, it's awesome!
