MechWarrior 2: Resource Forum

Hello everyone!

Lordy has it been awhile. I doubt most of you will remember me, so much has happened since I was last active it's hard to even summarize it.

First, I would like to apologize for my failure to bring the 3D Battlemech Chess Game to Fruition. Shortly after embarking on that project ...

A small update:

We lost an Animator due to a conflicting schedule. I've started a new contracting job that's been sapping away a lot of time. BUT, all is not lost. We have 9 models completed, 2 animated with simple animations. And a working Alpha. I'll upload some Screenshots/video when I can get ...

Due to terms of usage, property rights, and potential liability. We can not/will not use any model from any preexisting game. Not to mention, we already have most of the mechs completed.

GNUChess does have Multiplayer/Network support via the IFCS (International Free Chess Society), using Xboard ...

But before we all get to side-tracked and off topic, so far what I have been reading in all the posts this BattleTech Chess Game project sounds neat and interesting. I am looking forward to seeing the final release.
So is the actual game going to be 2D sprites of 3D images, or in full 3D?

Stars of battle armor might make good pawns
For chess, maybe of few good sprites would suffice
You can contact Whammy on mektek.net for Mech geometry
You can contact Solthan on mech2.org or mech3.org for Mech geometry


I'm ...

I went with picking the Atlas and the Dire Wolf as the queen, as the same resons you listed the mechs being the mightiest on both sides, I figured it matched the might of the queen in chess.

Well, except, depending on how you fight in a battlefield. You protect your largest and slowest assets ...

Fixed.

SUPER IMPORTANT!!: YOU NEED TO VOTE FOR ONE INNER SPHERE MECH AND ONE CLAN MECH. YOU'RE ABLE TO SELECT UPTO TWO MECHS, BUT PLEASE DON'T DO TWO CLAN, OR TWO INNER SPHERE!!!!

EDIT: In the event of the same Mech being voted for two positions, a Tie Breaker Vote will be held to determine it's final ...

Please Vote for your choice of QUEEN. This list is all the comparable mechs with weight chassis available to vote on.

Please keep in mind when making your choices in Weights. While not exactly a determining factor, a 15 Ton difference could make a very considerable advantage, and would leave the ...
