Hopes for Music Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

LeHah posted this idea to the Chat Zone, and it bears repeating to all of you...
After this whole send up of the WC4 cut scene score, I'd like to point out something...

There is a fanproject going on called Project Majestic Mix. It's pretty much a few guys taking the fan's favorites from the Final Fantasy series and putting the songs to different arrangements, from Orchestral to Techno.

The Majestic Mix site is http://www.kfssstudios.com/music.php3

I think we, as fans, need to get a few things. Possibly bother Oldziey into giving us sheet music to his WC music.
I think we need to grab one or two people in the WC fandom that can read sheet music and have them arrange it...maybe we could get someone's high school band to play it? Even the scramble theme from WC3 would be easy...all it is is percussion and brass which is practically all HS bands are.

If we fans want an orchestrated peice, we need to obther Origin and see if they'll give us the rights and maybe 2% of money. Of course this'll cost money, you fool! Everything these days costs money, and the bill might be high, but we'll never know unless we give it a shot...

Update from the Unknown Enemy guys -- the new CF-105 Scimitar model is completed, and will be posted for download in the near future. Here's a screenshot (minus the wings, whose textures have since changed). Mission 3 of UE is now currently undergoing bug testing.

I've heard it said that Lego brings out the worst in us... and the best. Let it be said of HellcatV that he gave his best...

In the spirit of seeing some _glorious_ lego models up, I scanned in my age old lego designs that I still have sitting in my room...

These are step-by-step lego instructions for all you Lego maniacs (note the relation to Todd Marshall) to build all your favorite ships from Epees to Excals...from Hellcats to Hornets from Arrows to Stilettos (I'm very proud of the Hornet... considering it is such a hard ship to make of Lego)... Hope you enjoy and post 'em... and anyone who has trouble fabricating them IRL should E-mail me...I'd take digicam pix, but I don't have physical access to anything but the plans I drew up right now--maybe in the future...

Invasion Progress Report Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Major A Payne posted a status report to the Invasion chat board...
After finally getting my hands on Manics rather impressive weapons, I've added them to the project (Appologies Kosh, but this was discussed previously with other parties). I've not added the ODF's which Manic included though as theres a few things which some people may not like (I assume that Evil will most likely have a go at me about this), and before anyone whinges at me, about me making this decision, it can always be changed, or a second version of the mod (which would use these figures and be more realistic), can be created. The current tech research is fully working but I won't give details as to what they are though. Also the final structure that the Confederation will be using is a Battle Station which is being kept completely secret and only the team will know what it is before everyone else. Suffice as to say it should be able to take out a large fleet on its own. Furthermore, the missile turret now works better, and although its not 100% how I would like it, it'll do. Problem is, is the missile weapons for the fighters/capital ships will have to wait, as I don't think the actual missile weapon won't work due to game restrictions, and I've contacted Westworld1 concerning this. Finally, I've recently received three of the 8 capital ships I require to finish of the Confeds capital ship list. Please be advised that its unlikely there will be more than three carriers, unless Wildcat wants otherwise.

TC found three Wing Commander references in this month's issue of Computer Gaming World... (May 2001, issue 202)
"Gameplay is still sketchy, but AQUANOX seems to be shaping up like a deep-sea WING COMMANDER/PRIVATEER, with players cast as a mercentary earning cash to purchase a variety of upgrades for their zippy submarines." (Hot Shots, p. 25)

"Because Volition is making [SUMMONER]. The same team who helped create DESCENT when the world was enamored with the 2D-ness of DOOM. The same people who crafted FREESPACE 2 and showed that you didn't need X-Wings or Kilrathi in order to have a great space sim." (Previews, p. 54)

"I'm only 21, and have been computer gaming for, what - 12, 14 years now? I could revel in the nostalgia, through many of the older games (ZORK, WING COMMANDER, and others) I had not played until years after their respective release dates." (Letters, p. 15)
