Battlestar Galactica Ships| Space Map

[icewindo 29]

1. Colonial Fighters+Freighters / Cylon Fighters

So, here's a small BSG pack containing fighters and 2 freighters (models from "Coxxon", see credits). I also added a link to my Asteroid Field space map. The fighter don't have cockpits, but it's still fun to shoot some toasters.

The models are also not exactly at ArmA levels polygonwise, but imo Coxxon did an outstanding job on their quality.

Note that the AI will prefer missiles to shoot, but once they're out, they will also use normal weapons (Kinetic Energy Weapons).

I may update this pack/add more ships in the future.

If somebody wants to spice the addon up (e.g. scripts, custom animations... particle effects... - aka. "all the stuff that makes my head spin") speak up :bounce3: .

Included Ships

Viper MK2 with 2x KEW, 8RD Missile Launcher and 2 mounted missiles

Viper MKVII with 3x KEW, 8RD Missile Launcher and 2 mounted missiles

Raptor (unarmed)

Colonial Movers Freighter (unarmed)

Another Freighter (unarmed)

Cylon Raider with 2x KEW, 8RD Missile Launcher

Thanks for the mirrors :)

(Server key included)

I'm not sure if this addon works with just OA, I used ArmA1 harrier parts for the viper rocket mounts.

Known issues

- shadowLod on some ships (I got thoseweird shadow artifacts on some, so I disabled them)

- Gear animation doesn't work yet

- there are no cockpits in first person

- Cylons Raiders will parachute, leaving just a parachute since I used a gamelogic to pilot them -> needs a script to delete the "empty" pilot on eject?

2. Asteroid Field Map

Package contains an 10km² asteroid field terrain with several asteroids in the air and on ground. I created this map to be used with stargate addons, but it'll work for BSG, too ;) .

Note: Due to the bloomy lightning system of ArmA2/OA, the map will literally light up when you're playing with postprocessing.

To counter this over-brightness, I lowered my brightness and gamma levels.

Haha, wow. Didn't see this coming.

[rexehuk 16]

Lol, this is most amusing... should have some fun with it, thank you op.

[icebreakr 3101]

Holy frack!

[ArmAriffic 10]

i allready had the asteroids map but i dont like star trek

Guys, let's throw his Cylon ass out the airlock for that. :mad:

OT: This is just frakking amazing. The Lords of Kobol are certainly smiling down on you Icewindo. I wonder if its possible to script in the 0G type flight. I doubt it. :(

[ArmAriffic 10]

don't kill me!!! :D BTW, I really do like that map. Only map with flying objects

It's probably not the fact that you don't like Star Trek, and more the fact that you confused Star Trek for Battlestar Galactica. ;)

[helo 10]

Time to toast some frakking toasters !!!!

So say we all! (I hope)

Did this came out of nowhere, like the attack on the Colonies, or did I miss any WIP threads on it?

Many thanks for this!

[raserisk 12]

These planes are fucking rad, however I can't put units into the cockpits?

Like I have a unit and I use the command

this moveindriver a

And it just spawns outside of it? The cylon raider works with it though.

[topas 1]

Wonder if we ever get to see these pre-war Vipers

Maybe we could in Caprica, if it wasn't cancelled... but hey, maybe in ArmA someday?

Just flew a wing of Mk2's over takistan and it's load of fun!

For immersion's sake one should add engine exhasut, vapor trails and such, but it's a brilliant addon, just for what it is now.

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

@Topas: yep, this was a complete surprise.

I actually went by Starbuck in games before Darkhorse, before the remake and after. I think the new Starbuck actually fit pretty good. Dirk Benedict doesn't feel the same though...

Affraid we'll need to stick to BTRL to enjoy 0G...

As for Starbuck, presume you know these lyrics:

:D

Nice job Icewindo, like always. :jump_clap:

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

Actually Topas I was part of a BF2 mod a long time ago that achieved full 0G flight, complete control as far as viper movements go (Six degrees of movement IIRC?) It was just amazing. Last I heard the guys had started a studio and were making it as a standalone game.

Look up Rise of Kobol/Rise of Kobol 2 when ya get the chance. I don't know if a public version of 2 was ever released though.

P.S. - where did you get the picture of prewar vipers?

The BSG and the BASE STAR work fine in ARMA2. I been using it for a few months now. Works great with set pos and mando missles turrets all sover. (I hid a buidling in it to simulate it being destroyed)

Great work Ice, I definitely love the guys making alternative mods for ArmA2.

[vilas 473]

:D nice to have some S-F addons more, just like OFP time , carry on and do more :)

[kage74 10]

Kewl addons! We definately need more sci-fi and animé stuff like this. But I'm not able to see the cockpit around me. Is that supposed to happen?
