Topic: Is it possible to add seperate playable races to SFC3?

[FEDX-Laad]

whats even more intersting is the fact there is oganic weapon damage in the assets/texture section. and yes there is alot of references to species 8472 and cardasians and it would appear they were slatted to be added and tauldren found the ran out of time and delete or didn't finish adding all of those 2 races to the game. It is impossible to play as those two races for the ship models do not exist for them.

Of course models exist for them. I've seen them at several SFC model sites. What if all you need to do is add the models and tinker with the maps (+scripts)?

Ok, here is a list of all the problems I know about with regard to adding a playable seperate race to SFC3:

1. You cannot add any new entries to the XXXitem.gf files in the "CommonSettings" folder.
     a. No "Dominion Shield X" for example.
     b. No Dominion Warp V" for another example.

2. You cannot add any new weapons to the game.
     a. All your Dominion ships will have Romulan disruptors... because you can't make entries for "Domionion Phased
         Polaron Beam" or any other new weapon.

Without this functionality, talk of adding races is pointless. I have concluded that it is impossible without support from Taldren to add seperate playable races to SFC3.


Taldren: Would anyone care to answer this for us? Even a simple and polite "No way." would be better than silence.

Hello Taldren? I would like to see this happen. What would it take for Taldren to open up the parts of the game that we need access to? I would like to add the Gorn as a playable race. I am writting an adventure I would like to use in sfc3 and need the Gorn to be playable.
