My Completed Mod - Dominion War Era theme

posted on May 12th, 2017, 12:57 am

Whew. I finally read through the entire thread. I've been meaning to look into this since you guys were posting in March, but I was dead at the time.

I really like those Cardassian models, especially DS9. Did the author host them online somewhere? I actually have a complete "roadmap" on my computer with all of the steps/notes/tools needed to add the Cardassian faction to Tryptic's Mod, just waiting for the day that somebody works on it

This Dominion War mod isn't balanced for multiplayer, certainly, but you've clearly put an incredible amount of work into it. I can show you how to modify tooltips if you like, but you might regret it. Tooltips are my least favorite part of FleetOps modding Unfortunately they're also the first thing players look at when there's new content.

Anyway, I've been inspired to work on Tryptic's Mod for a while again. Would it be alright with you if I post some stuff on your Modding Fleet Ops facebook page?

I am the author of the mod. The mod is currently on the Moddb website. http://www.moddb.com/mods/dominion-war-mod

I was going to release an updated version of the game with modifying the starting resources for the game changed to make multiplayer more interesting. Bam was working on the mod with various updates, but he has disappeared for the time being. if you can contact him on fb, tell him I would like to talk to him.

Lol I know the feeling. He'll probably be around, things tend to move in slow motion around here.

I used the wrong word with "author": I'm curious about the person who made the Cardassian and Breen models. How did you find them and get in touch with him?

I'm thinking about logging onto fb to see if he is alright.

The author of a majority of the breen and cardassian models is Aad Moerman

not to be a pest or anything but are there any updates on the progress of this mod?
I'd love to experience the changes that were showcased in the demo videos.

Yes, I was going to post here. Bam gave me the work he has done. Right now I am going to polish everything up. But it will probably won't be released until mid-july at the earliest. I will be looking for some beta testers. The mod is at 85 percent with all the updates, so you won't have to wait too much longer.

Update to clarify how the project is progressing. I am currently applying changes Bam made to The feds, Romulans, Klingons.

What Will happen next... Breen And Cardassian Avatars along with hero ships for them.
The Alliance races will also have their own avatars, but only one for artistic purposes.

Starting resources will be changed as well.

After I put in Bam's changes I will look at how to make avatars.

I might do a beta test if people are interested.

A little update on the mod....

Fed side is completely done. Fixed up odf files, wirefames, tooltips.

Today I am finishing up the Klingon side and then by Tuesday of next week I should have the dominion and Romulans squared away as well.

After that I am going to be working on making the Breen and Cardassians each have two avatars each. I have never done this before so I need to learn how it all works.

I think I am still on track for a late June Beta test and then mid-July release of the second version of the mod.

great to hear that you've made this much progress with the mod, I like many others look forward to the finished product and beta your putting together.

I should of mentioned that its mostly Bam's work and I'm just fixing things. I want to give credit where credit is due.

A little update. I know there are quite a few people wanting to beta test this game.

I am currently finishing up Romulan stuff, refining modifications made by Bam(tooltips, wireframes...).


Tomorrow I start work on the Cardassians with the Avatars. I have never done this before, so I don't know how long it will take me, so it will be a learning experience for me.


Keep coming back here for updates.... I'm on the final stretch of the re-release and trying to get it done as fast as possible while avoiding bugs.

Ok.... adding Avatars wasn't that hard as I thought....

Here are the Cardassian Avatars. Gul Dukat and Legate Damar.

PS the avatars are work of Squire James... Thank you so much

Someone had requested in the past that I streamline the Fed alliance side by having less 'stuff'. So all klingons, Romulans and Federation ships will be built in the same shipyards.

Anyone disagree with this idea?

I disagree generally speaking. Less is not always more and in this case less means less interesting.
