Anthraxion Created 17 years ago2007-03-12 13:40:01 UTC by Qu1f

Heres some healthy reading of my mod (Anthraxion)story (the story needs some work).

During the year 2100 nano technology reached its peak in perfection. The world was saved from global warming as these tiny nano machines could refill the earth?s ozone layer. Food was never scarce again as these nano creations could easily make food from particles in the air. Also Super computers became the size of a cell and they were the most powerful computers ever created.
Soon the earth?s people started to create more machines. By the year 2240 warp drive space engines were created, these could travel people around the galaxy at light speed, meaning new planets were discovered in less time than ever before.
The Vabiens were the first people to seek refuge away from the busy spaceports of earth. They are the second oldest human civilisation, second only to the people of earth. The vabiens having long lived on their planet of Vabious, the planet that gave them their name had created new and exciting technology, and weapons. They had such advanced technology that they had created a powerful military for themselves.
Disaster was to strike at the year 2902 for these people though as their great sun, Velion was about to expand and engulf them all. The vabiens evacuated their planet just before their massive sun engulfed their once great planet. They were surly doomed. They were luckily enough for the hospitality of the Anthians.
The Anthians at this time were the youngest race of humans but they were every powerful controlling all of their solar system, and the chemical compounds that resided there.
They too had powerful weapons made from these chemicals; they also had a planet in their system that they didn?t use. They offered this planet, Cashion, to the Vabiens for a great trade agreement that would see many of the vabiens unique weapons used for the Anthain military, as well as some of the Vabiens deadliest weapons used there as well.
Such was the state the Vabien race was in they had no choice and set up residents on the planet of Cashion. The planet of Cashion was at the time of the Vabiens arrival a baron wasteland was a virus had transformed the former occupants into mindless drones. The first of few years of colonisation for the vabiens was hard and dangerous, with risk of zombie attack at any time the civilisation has to be careful. After a measly five years the whole planet was colonised and for the next 30 years relations between the Vabiens and Anthians were at an all time high. That was until the year 2923. The planet governor of New Vabious Sir Mathew Vanquish retired from service. The new governor Daniel Drake was given control of the planet. He started preaching how the Anthian?s had wronged them with an inadequate planet for the vabiens. He said that the Anthians wanted the Vabiens to die on their diseased world.
Soon after He declared war on the planet of Anthraxion, an important chemical harvesting plant for the Anthian?s.
Anthraxion is a heavily populated, with their main industry is harvesting deadly chemicals from the ground. It is believed to be the second most valuable planet to the Anthain?s second only to their mother planet because of all the chemicals that are harvested on its surface. These chemicals are used for the Anthian?s main weaponry.
As such the Anthian?s launched an all out offensive against the Vabiens soon after.
Now a war rages on the surface on Anthraxion for control of the great planet.

Mod Details
> weapon choice and weight system
> new game modes (and old classics)
>New models (Hopefully )

We currently need coders, skinners, maybe another modeller, and mappers.
If you interested simply send me a pm,

Or for those that dont want to apply tell me about how good/crap the story is and how i can improve it. Ima lso open for some weapon ideas.

Thanks for reading

I have trouble associating all the background story with a mod. Would all that information also be told in the mod? Would it be relevant at all to the game?
I mean, is this war going to be fought as a singleplayer or multiplayer mod?
It's nice to have a story, but games are based on solid things like enviroments with interesting gameplay.

You have a very good point, i believe that i have pointed out very little here.

SO im going to varifie certain points.

It is a multiplayer mod with 2 teams (though there is a game mode with a third 1 man team). DIfferent layout compared to normal deathmatch as all the games are team games and are designed for team work. Also the weapon system is different. Instead of picking up weapons, you choose your starting weapons from 5 classes, close combat, close range, mid range, long range and heavy. To discourage everybody from choosing the heavy weapons their is also a weapon weight system. Meaning the higher the class of weapon you choose, the longer you take to reload and the slower you move. There is 3 weapons per class planned at the moment. Not all the infomation would be told in the mod, but key points such as "the war" and the 2 sides would be mentioned in little snipets of infomation.

If theres any more questions dont be afraid to ask.

will there be a few offworld maps? As there fighting over a planet it makes sense that some ship would be in orbit and battles over them (where one team has already landed a drop ship or something on it) could be quite nice.
Will space ships effect the surface wars with surface bombardments and stuff?

We are planing on doing off-world maps. The space ships could be used in some of our sceanraios (spelling) they arnt all game modes for just getting the most frags you know.

You said you needed help with the story, so... :

First of all,

Global Warming is not caused by Ozone depletion...

That would be UV radiation (remember those screwed up frogs, and all that skin cancer in Australia?)

Scientists now say that CO2 is the cause of Global warming, though only a small amount of it exists in our atmosphere, and hardly any comes from humans.

Basically, Global Warming has nothing to do with Ozone depletion, or humans...

I'd change that bit...

oh and also:

Traveling at near light speed would not get you anywhere fast, and it would pretty much cause you to jump into the future. Basically, if you went to visit a distant star, and the journey took you about a year, 100 million years would have passed back on Earth...

The only plausible science fiction thing on space travel would be a hyperdrive, which basically would create a wormhole and travel through hyperspace (bending the 4th dimension).

Still, that makes no sense unless anti-matter were to be used to power the wormhole creating device... as when positrons and antiprotons are added to normal matter, it gives off an extreme energy, something greater nuclear fission can do. still, anti-matter is difficult and time consuming to make...

so...

Unless your nanoparticles can make and control antimatter, space travel = nada.

(Plus who the hell knows where a wormhole will come out, it might even be in a different time, and ALWAYS in a parallel universe.)

so... good luck with the scientific relevance...

Read up on superstring theory and M-theory before you try and space travel, wormhole travel, or anything of the such...

nanoparticle idea sounds good though...

personally, I would make Velion turn into a black hole, but thats just me.

Right, so to be honest, simply change the whole nano tech thing. Also to be honest the whole worm hole is a theroy, my idea is probably some one eles theory. Oh well ill see what i can do.

Worm Holes are as real as black holes.

black holes are a theory, but we KNOW they are there. Past the horizon, light cannot escape, and it experiences an interesting red-shift. If light cannot reflect back, there is no way to know if there even is a singularity, as we can't see anything...

Wormholes appear randomly in the universe, and usually for a duration of less than a second (relatively speaking).

Believe me, I've studied this stuff in ages past.
