Frontier Rising - Starship mod

Post by XRAY0128 »

Somehow I have the sneaking suspicious this name has been used before...

Anyway this mod is a remake of my older projects, XJet and XCraft and is heavily based on the Freespace series.

You basically choose your aircraft and get right to shooting down your enemies. There are many craft to choose from, each with their own weapon set and strengths.

Most controls can be configured in the controls menu. The "fire turret" control launches missile counters if you're not using a battleship. The number keys change your selected secondary weapon, and if you have a button set for freelook, it will make your weapons fire at once instead of one at a time.

In advanced options/gametypes/frontier rising you can activate 'Descent mode' which makes the mod play more like a classic fps (except in starships). This kinda good for playing on smaller maps.

As always, open to questions, advice and criticism.

the mod should work on most version of unreal. It could be converted to work on UT99, but for some reason, that moves all guns to the center of the craft.

Oh Snap! Damn that looks awesome!

I wouldn't mind helping out, but I'm not sure what I could contribute..

Maybe my weapon system code? I made it so that you could easily attach seperate weapons (actually invisible decoration objects) to different positions around a ship in groups.
