I'm working on 3 other projects right now so I can't come back to this yet, but I'm still getting ideas. Here's a new one: Tel'tak scout ships will have a cloaking ability (possibly an upgrade), but Anubis will be able to detect them. This is because he had found a way to detect cloaked scout ships in the series.

The episode with the needle threader first episode of the third season also has goauld staff weapon towers that would be perfect for their towers.

Yes, I had already planned on those. The hard part is getting a good modeling reference screenshot... (I have all 10 seasons and both movies on DVD, though.)

I am happy to say that work is finally going to resume on this in a short time. Eldarion has joined my team as a skinner, and I can promise that he is doing some amazing stuff with the serpent guard skin! I now also have a forum for the mod here. Hope you don't mind Naz, I structured it very similarly to the S.E.E. forums.

Sweet!

Nice to see this going again.

I've determined that the best way for me to progress on this mod for the moment is to just pick away at things myself as a labor of love, and not worry about involving others until I absolutely need to. This means it might be a VERY long time before anything gets playable, but I've realized that I'm just not ready for the commitment of leading a team right now. (As evidenced by my lack of progress in... forever.) This still is not dead, just do not expect development to be very active anytime soon.

A couple notes on what I do have done... The new scale means larger units of troops, so I have decided to make my models with as low a polygon count as possible. Painful as it is, this means I must reject my quite detailed serpent guard model for something more along EA's standard poly density for units. What I have would have been great for normal game scale, but it would have completely bogged down the game in the new scale with 30+ troops to a unit. The death glider will also be getting a MUCH lower poly model with most details in the texture to allow for large fighter squadrons.

I have also reconsidered my use of the sarcophagus model for the Goa'uld; I think it would be better to have heroes spawn from the fortress as always, especially with the one system lord at a time model.

Also, I have temporarily disabled the forums I linked to in my last post due to massive spam issues. I'm trying to find a way to add some sort of simple test (What's 2+2?) to the registration process so that I can re-open them ASAP.
