Multiple Playable Races

from Sins Forums
I havent created a Mod yet, however i was wondering if anyone in the community was creating their own  mod that would allow you to have more than just the 3 set races.

has anyone out there made it so that the pirates are a playable mod?

has anyone else created another race with unique ships and icons?

im assuming that it wouldnt be too difficult if one were to create a new model in 3d Studios or Maya, create skins in photoshop and use those in a root selection for a clone package of another races code. just make a few changes in selection so icons appear for these new races and clone a original race code and modify it so that it has its own unique characteristics. much like what many of you have already done in changing ship skins and abilities.

The Last Stand mod does it all, minus playable pirates.
However, creating brand new assets such as models and textures is definitely not easy nor fast, so if you want unique looking ships, you will have to wait since as far as I know, no mod has yet made a completely new race.

Oh, and you may also check out "Dawn of Victory" mod, the team is doing high quality stuff with it!

7 Deadly sins has the Atlantians but to be honest I don't think the Atlantians should have been released yet. Why? They use models from the 3 vanilla races don't have custom sounds or pictures and aren't to balanced since they use the same tech tree as other races. Don't get me wrong I know it's hard to create a new race but I like what manshooter is doing with his mod about releasing it when it's good and ready then doing minor updates like balancing etc.

First estimate is around Christmas, but as usual that is not a rock solid deadline. Hopefully everything will go along smoothly and there won't be a reason for a postponement, but you never know. Making mods of such magnitude is a complex task which takes *a lot* of time... good thing it's fun. ;)

Here is the link to the official page of the Dawn of Victory mod.

The STAR WARS mod (test version) has been out since 1.05 came out, and it has a dozen or so starwars ships... The ships are WAY too overpowered, but that is to it's credit, and you can easily hook up the Nebulon B included in it's fileset (and use the "Shield_PlanetAsteroid" mesh as a deathstar!!!

Again: It's out NOW!!! YAY!!!
