Checking Up On Invasion: Day 1
Major A Payne is working on a Wing Commander conversion for the real-time strategy game Star Wars: Empire at War. The project has a new website and a lot of new renders and screenshots have been released. There are too many images to cover in one update, so we'll be looking at a few each day. We start off with the Vesuvius, Yorktown and Plunkett models.
Just a quick note. The mod is getting along a bit now. The Confed capital meshes have all been sorted out for conversion and there are, at the time of posting this, 4 of the 11 ships in game to beta stages (that is to say that they aren't the right size, fighters are non-existant and all use basic file entries so the stock weapons haven't been changed as yet). Also I have a MODDB profile page up and running with up to date ingame images of three of the four converted capitals. Once the confed capitals and fighters are in game I'll be removing all traces of the rebel alliance ships from game and rearranging the starbase/tech level for each of the ships. Capitals will then be altered to have fighter launch capability, but please can everyone be aware that because of the game engine restrictions, landing fighters is not possible. Anyway, more information can be found HERE.A few other changes are the main loading splash screen and main menu screens. When this mod is loaded you'll see the familiar Confederation logo which can be used to see the game credits. Finally the music has been changed for the main menu and credit screens but I'm unsure of whether this will be kept in. Although Origin have disbanded I'm not sure if the music I'm using (from the original games) would be legally usable in this fashion even though I got it from this website.
