    I was shooting the breeze with an old friend from my SupCom days, and helping him with some coding. We had this conversation;

    [​IMG]

    For those who don't recognise the names in the conversation, I'm chatting with @LegionDarrath, Off-Topic forum troll and crazy modder extraordinaire (rivalled only by @KNight and myself), creator of the famed LabWars mod.

    [​IMG]

    That's right, that mod is back. Get ready for ungodly large numbers of squishy bots scampering over everything.

    What can you expect;
    • Commanders,
    • Doxen,
    • Doxen Factories,
    • More Doxen,
    • Even more Doxen,
    • Orbital Doxen,
    • Teleporters (because they're remaking the StarGate movies, I kid you not),
    • And not a lot else.

    uhhhh. Labwars. Awesome times. Played so many tourneys with it.
    <brag>and 4-0'ed most of them </brag>
    But seriously summer? Making a mod that removes everything but dox and changes a few eco numbers to make it work sounds easy to do for a start :p

    It might be easy, LabWars certainly was, but it's more about being distracted while I'm supposed to be studying and finishing up my thesis than anything else. Plus it makes me look like a hard worker if I decide to push it out before then anyway ;)

    That might be enough for a silly LABWars ripoff, but if you're gonna do it right, you need all the Extras! Like Jetpack Mech Marines! ;p

    Can't remember ever playing with those. The labwars I remember was about labs, labs, labs and some more labs. No extras. Apart from some t2 mex cheated in by hotbuild in some cases.

    Maybe they never got it? All I know is that somewhere in my SupCom 3D files I got a Jetpack Mech Marine that I'm pretty sure was for LW...

    Just one question. Will there be Teleporter Doxens?;)

    It was in there for a while but as an add-on to the regular LabWars mod.

    Too early to say but I think the availability of the gates should satisfy your teleportation needs.

    Fair enough. Also new Stargate movies.:D:D:D Hopefully will be better than the original one.

    That's a tall order. The original was epic.

    Personally I found the film to be not as good as Stargate SG1. Which is a pity it could've been so much better.:(

    same here. SG-1 was and still is one of the best pieces of sci-fi ever made.
