<div class="IPBDescription">Starcraft pack</div> I've noticed a lot of Starcraft Models, specially for the player models. A lot would need to be done to have a completed pack for Starcraft; but I think it would be most worth while.
I installed the Alien models, and it was a completely new game to me, until I installed the Marine model....and it just blew me away, i was playing a FPS SC. There's a few guns and models that could be used as "personalized" weapons (IE the Warspike thats being worked on) as well as structures that could be used that would go with the SC theme, like the siege cannon from the spec ops pack. Some work would have to be done to make a full conversion, and sadly I have no artistic abilities in either the real world or the digitial one; and any sprite or model I do could probaby be better done by a 2 year old monkey named bobo the fire breathing chimp.(though....what couldn't a 2 year old monkey named bobo the fire breathing chimp do?)
I would do the pack (though...thats the easiest part) I would just need help making the pack everything it could, and should be, specially for a SC enthusiest like myself. Anyone willing to give it a shot?

<a href='http://www.battle.net/scc/zerg/bbuild.shtml' target='_blank'>http://www.battle.net/scc/zerg/bbuild.shtml</a> thats the basic buildings for the zerg
<a href='http://www.battle.net/scc/zerg/abuild.shtml' target='_blank'>http://www.battle.net/scc/zerg/abuild.shtml</a> advanced buildings
For the zerg, i thought the following structures could be used
RT) Obvious Choice The Extractor, but the hard part would be scaling it/modifying it to fit it to a NS Resource Tower
OC)Spore tower. It would be too hard to go for the sunken colony due to how it works.
DC) Now, you have 2 choices...and then a 3rd practical option. the two obvious choices would be the Evolution chamber, or the Hydrolisk Den. but the 3rd practial option is the Creep Colony, due to the looks. (though, if you wanted the challenge, try for the evolution chamber)
MC)Nydus Canal, very obvious choice, and looks like it could be scaled to be a good MC
SC) Hmm, good question, what could be used? There's nothing other than an Overlord that really helps w/ sensory in SC...but there's currently an overlord model for the hive, so an alternitive for looks, and somewhat interesting choice....the spire, or greater spire (the greater spire looks cooler <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->)

<a href='http://www.battle.net/scc/terran/abuild.shtml' target='_blank'>http://www.battle.net/scc/terran/abuild.shtml</a> advanced buildings for terrans
Now for the Terran Structures: Very hard...only got 3 stuctures from the game
RT)once again the human gas collector the Refinery, and once again, scaling would be hard..perhaps alternative...
Turret)I didn't really find a good choice for a turret other than the Missle tower
Obs)Communication Tower ad-on to the Command Center.

Siege cannon (Siege Cannon) - Credits: Not sure, but i'll include the readme in the pack so they'll still get credit (comes from the spec-ops pack). it also seemed to fit the SC feel
Sound:
SC Sound pack - Credits Mercatorn
NEEDED:
Zerg buildings other than the Hive
Terran buildings other than the CC and Siege Cannon
Terran HA (Firebat?)
Terran JP (Ghost/civi + jp?)
Terran HMG (Gauss Rifle)
Terran GL (could use the flame thrower)
Terran SG (no idea)
and of course all credit goes to blizzard as well for SC itself :-D
good luck, you have your work cut out for you
... like the HA and the gauss rifle.... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
also if this is going to happen, we'll need more modelers and animators.
If push comes to shove i could do a few rough sketches i suppose (but i warn you, i <i>really</i>suck at drawing...i have trouble drawing stick figures...)
offtopic ( Anyone knows where to get the round cc?, and yes I've tried the Search <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo--> )

I like your ideas for the Zerg buildings, I think those would all fit very well.
-For the HA, I think a Goliath model would work even better, though it'd be more difficult to model and make it realistic looking while still fitting inside the hitbox. It could be done if the pilot seat were made closer to the ground. Though the Firebat is more practical.
-Ghost w/ a jetpack would be perfect.
For the guns, you wouldn't have to make new ones, just look at the many excellent replacement guns already out there, find the ones you think would fit the universe best, and ask the authors if you can include it. Also, the Stealth Marine would transition easily into ghost w/ JP.
I'm going to have to vote for the Missile Turret as a replacement for the sentry... it would scale down well.
Good luck Restrik! I'm rooting for you! Even if you don't get a complete set, see if you can post what you end up with.
there is no sepereate JP model...so i saw the Marines in full gear fly around w/ a JP.
There are a lot of models that could be used to be "starcraft" like. the Missle Turret wouldn't really work as anything now that I look back on it due to is size, and it would be weird to see it half your size.
I'll hope around some custom model sites and see what might work and what might not.
If someone could post a list of a bunch of NS custom model sites...that would help a lot, i know of nsarmslab, t2k, and of course ns-fr.com where i got the circle command chair.
and by all means, if anyone has any suggestions for models they think would be appropriate for such a Pack....post em!
also we still need modelers, animators, and skinners.

The reason one is labelled smart gun means that is has "smart gun" animations with it.
Meaning it will work properly if you download a weapon meant to be held 'smartgun' style like in Aliens II
If not your heavy machine gun is gonne be sticking upward, hehe
damn...does anyone know where Unleet is? and do you think he could update/modify his marine skins, atleast the "smart gun" oens to not be animated for the smartgun or atleast add a seperate model for unsmartguned model?
also the C20 could use both marine and heavy hands other than the normal tsa marine hands...
/edit same goes for a lot of the alien models....though those are just things that need to be done on their own.
the only one that has any difference to it is the gorge. the skulk still has its teeth then they should be claw like, the fade just need to be re-skined b/c the claws would work fine, the onos needs big claws as well, and the lerk could use teeth like things i suppose
yea but no one seems to want to actually do the models... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
while that is part of the SC universe...it doesn't exactly fit due to the fact that its protoss which doesn't really help the terrans at all
missle turret=sentry
supply depo=TF
sunken=offense chamber
it is sheena yanai Siege Cannon
Supposedly quite too big, though <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
