Is Your TC Plug-In Still Alive?

Ayup. I have my regrets ever spilling word on Ares: Override, though I do still intend on finishing that one of these days. I've gotta find out why my internet connection doesn't cope with Ares (and about 75% of other games) first.

Nick: Just what I was gonna add. TCs get so big that someone blows the cover within a few weeks. :rolleyes:

Denb: Certain indeed. 😛

I am in "technology development".

That means I'm trying to get my hanger bay syst to work right.

I can already tell that the tech stuff is going to be my favorite part of the project.

Hmmm.

You mean I intend on finishing Ares: Override silly 😛 Actually I plan to take a month or so off my Landing pic replacement plugin to finish (or at least work on a lot) AO

Help save Ares, write a plugin!

Ah, true. 😉 I think my part on AO is basically done. We just need to get those multiplayer levels finished up.

Yep, Infinity is still alive. But sometimes it's been moving so slowly i've wondered. Once and a while i pull it out and cruntch past anouther glob of progress.

Rift is alive and well. I just don't like updating progress logs. Anyways, in way of progress, I'm currently working on planet descriptions and graphics, which are innumerable. However, I'm only working on the first universe for now on everything. It's not going fast, but it's going.

You have never heard of a secret plug, because it's secret. 😉

Haha! You got me there Borb II!

Yeah, that sucks. Dune looked very promising.

😄 But I do not think that there are many "secret" plug's.

On topic, The plug-in Factions is alive and well.

That's why threads like these annoy me...I'm wanting to develop my plugins at my own pace, without much advertising so that if an idea doesn't work out, I won't be disappointing anyone...or...something like that. 😛

I'm still planning to complete mine...at LEAST one, preferably more. :eek: They're alive, just stopped to smell the roses. The only one for which I have a name I've been trying to keep reserved is The Storm.

------------------

Have faith, you lot. Keep going. TCs can be made, and do work... mine did.

Dave @ ATMOS

The EVC and EVO versions of my Wing Commander TC have been cancelled but my EVN version is currently on hold pending access to a means of actually making it. I don't own a mac whatsoever so I can't so much as emulate one (save on the horrible executor emulator that can't even run Override or a decent Res Edit...).

Until either 1) I get a mac, 2) a windows editor becomes available, or 3) someone offers to work on it with only my guidance on what I want for a while; I won't be able to work on it.

Conclusion: It has NOT been abandoned, only postponed 😛

Well, it's not a TC, but yeah, it's still alive. It's slowly making progress. Right now I'm doing the dëscs, and I can see right now that that will likely take around a year...and I have school...agh.

Unfortunately, I still have yet to come up with a name. bangs head on wall repeatedly

Have you tried Basilisk II? It's a much better emulator than Executor and completely free, certainly capable of running EVO, ResEdit, and any non-PPC-requiring utility. I don't have the links right now, but if you do a search you can find plenty of helpful material about using that emulator, and many of the people here can probably answer any questions you may have about it.

(For the record, I recall that some people even claim to have managed to get Nova working with that emulator, although it wasn't exactly playable :p)

As I mentioned before, no mac whatsoever... so the only way I can use Basilisk II is by getting an illegal mac ROM image, not exactly something I can do with my limited knowledge of warez heh.

I'm still working on my TC, now 1 year and 3 months into development. For the most part, I finished the human section of the galaxy, which although to me seems like a major accomplishment, it only represents about 1/9th of the galaxy.

Progress: 2929 resources, spread over 5 files

  • Systems: 543 completed, 800 expected**

  • Planets: 148 completed, 1000 expected**

  • Ships: 106 completed, 400 expected***

  • Governments: 25 completed

  • Outfits: 134 completed, 300 expected*

  • Weapons: 58 completed

  • = after variants are added
    ** = after mission-changed systems have been added
    *** = after non-purchasable variants have been added

I've also been working on a new hypergate, which will be an intricate part of a bunch of core missions.

ooooh, looks nice!

Yeah, how could anyone keep an entire TC secret?

HOWEVER...

Many of those plug-in projects seem to have been abandoned. There are many places where the last update took place months, or even years ago. Disappeared without a trace.

SO...

If you are working on a TC, feel free to post here. I'm sure many people are wondering whether certain TCs are dead or alive, and your comments will go a long way to allay their fears.

Thanks for bearing with me and reading through this. Looking forwards to hearing about these still-alive projects ;).

Nay- she hath long since perished. Which makes me glad I never posted any kind of preview for it.. That'd be embarassing..
