The War of the Worlds?

The heat ray needs to go "Oooooooooooooooooooolaaaaaaaa!" as well  

Think I may have to dig the album out

Lilty I'm sure you could do a cracking Richard Burton

lmf(_!_)o

wasnt it more of a "..Laaaaaawww" than a " Laaaaaaaaaaaa"

like .. " OoooooooooooooooooLaaaaaaaawwww!"

needs to be accurate after all

Will need other voice actors as well. .... I can be the mad priest Nathanael .

I suppose I could be the Artilleryman

... Giant metal things on legs.. Picking up people and bashing them against trees..

Just don't expect me to sing Silver Dream machine though...

[-Ash- 0]

Or even better a completely dynamic campaign!

I got a RTS script i made laying round some where, could put it to good use. Give the player a few squads to controll and try and fight of an martian invasion!

Could even try my hand at Fwatch and see if i can get a traditonal RTS birds eye veiw, doubt it though...

Well I've seen some strange mods in my time, but this would be a highly original and very good one if someone decided to get it right..

*Hint* Start it...

Hey.. we could even use your falklands units to play the part of Thunderchild in a modern day retelling! 

Still looking forward to 'em.. but just one suggestion.. make them targetable by Infantry (I hate all these walkers where only the damn LAW man tries to shoot at the beastly things) and also the Heat Ray, make it so it'll target men as well as vehicles.

Nah they are far too modern.. You'd need an old style iron clad ship (late 1800's) to get it accurate..

I take it no-ones gonna finish that model off then? Damn shame if you ask me...

[D.murphy man 0]

indeed

And ash, we dont have to stick to the story, could do a modern retelling on the story with tanks, planes, and every thing.

It'd be damn sweet to see one of these downing waves of jet fighters with there 'heat rays'

I know what you mean.. I don't usually push for moders to make things, but I really am wishing someone did this one soon!

I'm just re-reading the book at the moment as well... If someone did this, I would definately make a mission to go with it.. I promise

Ok Mr Spielberg

Nah it would be much much better to have it using old 1800's stuff just like in the novel, and also in the musical version..

Trust me!

So with the release of the new film (w00t! ) any one feel like making some tripods i aint seen the film yet but im planning to, i wanna see how speilburgs tripods look like - if theres tripods init at all.

[mrbean1112 0]

Yeah, i am very excited to see some of those big alien things in this game.... always have been

[jakerod 254]

The Tripods look pretty cool in it. I didn't like the movie all that much but that is mainly because of how it was directed I guess.

Id play with this addon if someone made it.

[Emerald Sage 0]

i think the idea is doable myself. Justa way of getting the right anim for the legs might make it trucky. Why not just use the origonal fighting machines as there legs would be easyer to animate?

[mr. WHO 0]

Why bother with original war of the worlds if you can do your own?

For humans use OPF units

For Aliens you have few avaliable addons:

- 2 types of Wanzer mechs

- Tiberian Genesis mod mechs (Titan and Juggernaut)

- T1000 (terminator) infantry

- few models of advance VTOL and planes

- one or two models of advance tanks.

Just scrap Tripod ideas and you have a preatty alien invasion with only campaing to do.

...and why bother resurrecting year-old threads that people are past giving a flying one about...

[smiley nick 51]

Could be the fact he was directed to this "existing" thread?

Digging this up might bring new interest. I for one would be willing to do the animations. And i know a friend who has as "water cannon" weapon which can easily be adapted to fit the "heat ray".

I have the model from orsons original post. I have managed to reduce the polys to around 6k. But my o2 skills lack the fundamental requirements to get this thing in game and working.

If there is anyone willing to spend time trying to get it to ofp standards with lods ect i would be happy to do anims and scripts and textures as stated above.
