Star Wars mod in works

[bearclaw]

I'm partially surprised that no one else has attempted something like this before.

GMLocutus and myself have taken on the mantle of making a Star Wars Mod for Star Fury.

I have zero graphic skills where GMLocutus has plenty. He is working on the visual aspects and I am looking into the data file modding.

This project is truely HUGE in it's scope. Currently we're looking at a galaxy map of 345 systems!!

The forum we are using for our discussions can be found here:

Feel free to have a look and even put in suggestions. We may or may not take them but extra input may help us come up with things we would otherwise have missed.

Also keep in mind that reading some of the items on there may constitued spoiler info if you want to keep uninformed. That said, don't expect storyline-based info on the forum. Something's gotta stay secret.

Just a quick update for those who may not have been checking out SE.net's forum on this mod project:

We've got a working map done with 341 systems. All warp points and planet locations are working fine. One of the key aspects of the map is that it is possible to land (ie shuttle over) to ANY planet whether it is colonized or not!! But a word of warning, you have to get REALLY close to do so

A lot of the smaller items have been taken care of and we are now working on components. The components aspect will be pretty grand as well, but that part has only just been started.

More to follow!

Another Update. We've got a fully playable map with locations and some stores. Components are nearly done and then the testing of them begins for various issues.

No expected release date yet, but I would like to welcome Detjen to our team. We haven't loaded him with work yet, but it's coming.
