Creating A New Star Wars Mod
Posted: Mon Aug 14, 2023 7:48 am
Today I started creating a new Star Wars mod.
There are a few unfinished Star Wars mods already available for download, but the ship sets for those mods are lacking and also have Star Trek ships in them. The Star Wars Factions mod will focus on factions instead of individual races.
The first release, described below, is planned to be uploaded here August 18th 4pm California time.
Download First Release Here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/6llv42wc ... ns.7z/file Disney owns the rights to Star Wars and all music used in this mod. This mod is meant to celebrate Star Wars as the 40th Anniversary of Return of the Jedi approaches.
What's planned:
There will be dedicated ship sets for the Republic, Separatists, Galactic Empire, and the Rebel Alliance.
There will be other factions available to play also of course. Included but not limited to the Mandalorians, Hutts, and Black Sun Pirates for example. However, these 'lesser' factions won't have dedicated ship sets. In other words I'm not going to spend time on putting together what I view as lesser faction ship sets based on canon.
Part of the weapon tech tree will be edited. For example beam weapons will be changed to researching better turbo lasers. The missile and torpedo weapons will be changed to concussion missiles and proton torpedoes and better variants as you advance along that research branch.
Weapon graphics will be changed accordingly.
And because I'll be changing weapon components and part of the tech tree I'll also have to change the default and race specific ship templates.
I'll need to create/edit race files and change text files dealing with how the game automates them.
I'll need to include the iconic characters Star Wars fans know and love.
DWU is still awesome and DW2 is awesome squared.
The initial release will be with the ship sets for the four main factions and include Star Wars music. No races will be added or changed with the initial release. However, you will be able to use the extra ship sets for your ships if you want.
The second release will be with the changed tech tree, races/factions, races automotive behavior, and the ship templates for default and the factions.
The third release will bring the characters.
That's the road map.
