Refrain from going off-topic in this thread. Failure to keep on-topic will cause the thread to be closed, hassle to be created, and drama to ensue (in that order). That aside: feel free to express comments, suggest features, and critique the project in this thread.


We are programmers, artists, level designers, texture artists, and modelers but beyond this we are also proud SpaceBuild players. Though originally we only served the community by offering a model pack we have since grown organically into building a more comprehensive solution toward many of SpaceBuild's problems and exercising many opportunities which have not been explored; all the name of enrichment of the experience.

Our primary goal and mission is to enhance the SpaceBuild gamemode experience by offering a comprehensive alternative to packs not particularly well-suited toward providing for a proper, lagless, and needlessly difficult, SpaceBuild experience.

We are problem solvers: ever watchful for solutions to problems which bug the Spacebuild community.
We are active listeners: keeping our eyes and ears trained to current developments in Spacebuild and working with top community forces to keep the project relevant and useful at all times.
We are the Spacebuild Enhancement Project Team: we would like to welcome you to the next level of Spacebuild and invite you to help us help you make Spacebuild the best it can be in Garrysmod!

I love this

Working on a few new weapons to round out the upcoming SWep Set.


Edited:


Top left-Submachine gun, slightly inaccurate, high rate of fire
Middle left-Machine pistol 1-high rate of fire, low power, inaccurate
Bottom left-Machine pistol 2-same as above
Top right-LMG-Moderately accurate, high power, loads of ammo, high rate of fire
Bottom right-Assault rifle-accurate, higher power than submachine gun, slower rate of fire than submachine gun

Hey Firgof, there's a tag called "noparse," that'll keep the SVN link from URL'ing into ...'s.

I could do that but then it would no longer be a link. Internal noparsing within url tags has no impact.
It's a choose-your-poison situation.

Oh, you do want it to be a link? NVM lol...thought you didn't want it to be a link so ppl could copy and paste it.

In that case, might wanna make a 2nd link line that is noparse'd for people to copypasta into their SVN client.

I made this (terrible) to show another use of the 3 piece swivel turret.

I want a few opinions from the devs, not just a few ratings.

*Drools*
Damn, I can't wait to start coding those :)

How are the tech-fins coming, by the way?


Well that's definitely not what I built them for :P

Interesting though.

Sup fools, I got some media to show

I finaly worked my hidden Homing Missle pods into a station.

http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt122/McStabYou/hl22009-11-2100-35-28-00.jpg
This is my latest station that I call "Omega"
The iris doors on the sides conseal 5 missle pods each.

http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt122/McStabYou/hl22009-11-2100-35-56-26.jpg
All weapons functions are controlled from the assault deck.
On this floor you can also see the missle pods and check if the doors are properly opened

Needs more shotgun. And with that , I say that I shotgun (no pun intended) doing it. I've got an epic concept in my brain

The LMG could have a different stock...this one reminds me of the Dragunov too much...maybe if the holes in the stock had different shapes or something...

Edit: Maybe if you tried to rework it altogether...I like all the other ones, but the LMG looks like a Garand rifle with a small scope, Dragunov stock and a double C-mag. I'd try a different body approach. Also, maybe you could add a bipod. Looks more machinegunny...

He still got that laser shotgun guitar somewhere.

MP40 barrel? I think you should change that. It just bugs me is all. It's not that I don't like it.

Suggestion: try to wire them so that the doors are closed while the pods are reloading. This way if the enemy wants to precision-shoot the pods, he'll have to risk being hit in the process. This:
*door opens
*pods fire
*door closes and cannot be opened manually until the pods can fire again

Sooo... the part assembly tool, will it be smallbridge only? Or will modbridge be included? How about medbridge?

It's only SmallBridge at the moment; it has to have parts added to it for it to work. I've added all the SmallBridge parts, but I'm leaving it to Cerus and Slyfo at the moment to do theirs.

I added two more videos to the original post to show off some of the SBEP to users who are new to the project.

Note to community members: I am always looking out for Youtube videos of people enjoying their SBEP experience; I enjoy seeing that people are having fun with the SBEP. :D
If you make a video showing off the SBEP there is always a chance that it might get featured in the original post if it's of sufficient quality and quantity (length).

I would like to request that there be no voice-overs and a limited number of sound effects for me to consider adding them to the original post.

I can't wait for the next releases!

Just been trying out the Goldfish, and this leads me to request a tactical nuke. The Goldfish is waaay overpowered. I planted one in my planetary resource gathering station to see what it would do. The main body of the station was completely obliterated and my resource storage was flung all over the system (wich looked pretty epic, by the way - first came the blast wave, a second later a wave of gas tanks venting like crazy). Back on topic, we need a nuke that is kinda less powerful, and definitely has lower range (this one unwelded my ship, and that was half a map away!!!).

It's a good point, although you have to remember I never made the old-school nuke, so I wouldn't be able to make a half-sized explosion anywhere near as good. Still, I'm up for giving it a try.

In the download i only can found 3 tools (lift tool, settings tool and skin switcher tool). Where are the other? like the "welder" tool for sbep?

The new tools such as the Part Assembler are not yet available on the public SVN. They are being worked on and we are nearing their release. I will clearly mark that video as an 'upcoming feature demonstration'. I apologize if there was confusion.

i never build ships with spacebuild it's always a city or something

when is going to be released the tools? i like them. Its possible to be a beta tester? i have a server and you can use it for testing things :P PM me if you want

Don't worry , we've tried to use that method

lol

one of the new sets of models you guys made (core or something the ones with all the pipes inside) look awesome as space city parts you should make more stuff like that

I'm kind of a wiremod noob. I don't know anything about expression gates or any of that mumbo jumbo. If I'm just hoping that enemys will try not to get in front of the pods for fear of 'sploding. For the moment, this station would easily fend off any small or med bridge ship, but I realy don't stand a chance in "Mcbuilds" server where donators and admins get rediculous shielding. (and ships that look like Mothera)

I'm assuming it has more of these concealed pod batteries than just the two? Cause two batteries, each firing a total of twenty rockets sure doesn't take most ships down...

There we go, new thread. Excellent. Awesome, the pictures media has my two ships in it.

I'm not saying it'll utterly destroy all opposing ships. But it will cripple most anything made from SBEP parts. Also yes, it has more than 2 pods.

*Edit*

I once tested it out on one of my larger smallbridge ships. It didn't take long before the gyropod was destroyed an it went plummeting.

Playing about with Blender for a while yielding the following render. It obviously has a lot of work to be done yet, and I'm not too keen on the size of the base relative to the 'prongs' (which I intend, eventually, to have rotating around some suitably mysterious looking glowing ball), but I'd be interested to see what you all think. Constructive criticism is, of course, welcome; this is my first real model after all.

(if you missed it towards the end of the old thread, I'm trying to come up with an alternative model for the warp drive SENT).

my newest ship (slightly WIP)

Whoa. That's a ton of guns.

guns on bottom are planet blasting turrets. other guns are defence turrets

Have to say qwerty, I normally hate the giant SBEP ships, but that one is pretty rad. How functional is the interior?

niiiiiiice, It must be a bitch to try to controll all those guns.

*edit* unless they're automated, that would make more sense.

what you mean by functional? for now its just corridors, but i'm planning to add interior props and wire shit

turrets will be automated (and planet blasters will be mouse controlled), then things like docking bays
but no life support and any kind of energy using, i hate it lol

That's the first time I've seen someone actually USE that Homeworld corvette for something. Nice job!

I mean how well designed it is for actually putting the needed things in, having rooms and stuff... though if you aren't using life support (?) you shouldn't have problems.
