Mod/TC Concept- Imperium Galactica: Revival

Does anyone here remember the 1997 simulation/strategy game Imperium Galactica? I want to create a mod using, of course, the wc3 engine to recreate as much of Imperium Galactica's functionality as is possible.

This boils down to the fact that I need help. I have ideas, and plenty of them, but I need more. I can slk and txt edit/WE object edit/icon, but I can't code jass, I can't model, and my skinning ability is restricted to reskinning. This is what I need:

Modellers. I need people to model the 2d ship and building models, at least for the Galactic Empire, if not for the alien races. Also I need projectile and effect models, such as radar range, menu models and planet models.

Skinners. I need people to skin what the modellers come up with. In addition I need people to skin tilesets. I need a starfield tileset, a neptoplasm planet tileset, and a Liquid planet tileset (I'll provide screenies).

Coders. I may need Jass coders for some of the advanced menu functions and game cache stuff. I will also eventually need AI editors for the alien races, if IG: Revival gets anywhere.


I will try to provide modellers who are interested with screenshots of the game, if they don't have it. I'd like help from anyone who would like to help, but I'm hoping to find people as passionate about the game as I am.

What I don't need is:

Iconners, Object editors, .slk editors. Thanks, but I can do this stuff myself.


Thanks to all who read and consider my idea.

post a picture and some modellers will consider. *i know i am*

Your wish is my command, anything to see this go through.

These are shots of some of the ships from some battle report backgrounds. I'll post onplanet and spacebattle shots as I find/make them.

Well, glad that a modeler is willing to join up since modelers are already rare enough to find...

What the...Toxic? :\ Did you finished your basic modeling skills? :P (Last time I heard about your modeling skills it was just with easy models ;) but then again, that was quite some time ago)

Anyway Au..Aun..Aonu..err... Anunon (are you people not taking it serious that I'm bad with names? ;)) For people who do not know about this you might want to give some extra information like a story or anything similar (features, etc.) it will probably attract some more people, though maybe not the kind of people you might be interested in, but at least people know what they can expect.

I'm surprised enough that no Terrainer is asked ;)

Heh, you caught one I missed. I do need a terrainer. Also, there wasn't a huge amount of storyline, but I'll post it.

"The fourth millennium. Mankind has conlonized the galaxy. Created an Empire. Now, it is crumbling. The aliens are restless. The oppressed are building armies. And a strange invader is headed for the heart of the Empire. In desperation the admiralty of the Old Empire has decided to use its secret
weapon..."

That was the blurb on the back of the box, modified a bit. The main objective is to recreate the Galactic Empire by uniting the other humans, and destroying the "strange invaders," the incredibly powerful Dargslan Kingdom. You start as a Leiutenant on a small Guardian-Class destroyer, assigned small tasks, and if you do well are eventually put in command of the Galactic Empire. On the way you deal with virus epidemics, planetary revolts, alien attacks, and diplomacy as well as colony building, research, and production. As you play, you discover through cinematics and flashbacks that YOU are the secret weapon. An android, the last one infact (the rest were destroyed because of faulty programming. Many people were killed when a Flagship was flown by its droid crew into Starlight Station, a huge flying space base. Due to this all the droids were scrapped and developement was halted.), with complete reasoning and free will.

Edit the fourth: Here's a colony screenshot.
