RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

Development Delayed - April 2016 Update

13 April, 2016 - TheVoidstarTY | 1 Comments

Hello all,

So I feel bad to say this as there are a lot of you that have been really excited around the whole idea of this project. But I feel even worse by not keeping you all updated.

Why is there a delay?

Earlier in development of this mod we had bumped into an issue. That issue was that none of us knew how to implement models into the game. We get stuck on the final steps of implementing the model.

Why did we not bring this up sooner?

I didn't think this would take long to over come. I decided to get the scripts done in the meantime. However it turns out that it's harder than we thought, mainly because people haven't really decided to implement model into the game (it's rare to see a mod that has actually used this).

How has this become a big issue?

We cannot fulfill our goal of making it a "total conversion" without changing the models (because since when did you seen Darth Vader with a pike?) There have already been mods released that give you Civilizations related to Star Wars.

Is this delayed forever?

I do not know. We understand that this is possible and we are still searching for a solution to our problem. I personally think we'll find a way, although I cannot promise.

Is there any point staying in this group?

As there is still hope, yes. But we'll just have to wait until A New Hope rises. If you're willing to stick around for a while then that's great but if you feel like you want to leave, that's your choice. I would not recommend you leave though in case we do find something.

Can I help?

At the moment, you cannot help. Unless of course, you know the solution to my problem which is importing the models. If you know anyone who's got experience with that and they are willing to lend a hand, we'd be incredibly greatful!

As we've worked on this mod for a while, we don't want to let the whole idea fall to someone else. We want to make it how we want it, and we will allow those in this group to have their ideas considered in our mod. A lot of good ideas have come to me and I have plans to use those ideas in the mod if we get passed this issue.

I hope this doesn't make you give up hope for this mod. If you still have questions that need answering, let me know as a reply to this announcement, in the group comments or the group discussions. The development may be delayed but I have no intention of delaying unanswered questions.

Thanks and have a great day!

Petition to Finish Star Wars Battlefront III Prototype

23 January, 2016 - TheVoidstarTY | 0 Comments

Hello all,

This may not be related to the project but this would be worth signing to notify EA of the unfinished project and how many people would actually like to see it.

Click here to sign the petition![www.change.org]

This is not the first time this build of the Star Wars Battlefront III Prototype has been released, and I assume it will not be the last. However it's not any where near to being completed and ready to put on the market.

Since EA have bought the entire LucasArts company, they also have access to the last build for Star Wars Battlefront III in their archive. This means, EA can access it easily. A bonus to this is that EA could make a lot of money on their end which I'm pretty sure would interest them the most, as from their history money seems to be the only thing on their mind.

So are you in? Or are you going to leave it up to the unofficials to finish it and illegally share it around? I'm hoping we can get it out officially but if not I guess it wouldn't harm any of us to leave it to the good modding community.

Thanks and have a great day!

@Rogue-Warrior129 We'll update if we feel it is necessary. As of now, here's the latest news: http://steamproxy.net/groups/CivVSWMod#announcements/detail/902219128856985587

There are other modders who beat us to this idea. They have not done a total conversion but it seems that at this time it's not possible to continue until we know otherwise.

Sorry about that :/

Hi. Is there any word on this?

@Luke_Is_A_Glodfish Sorry about the late reply Luke. We haven't got any other Civilizations planned for the core mod but we're going to update it gradually with more Civilizations (that is if we can get our mod out there, I'll get to that in a second). For the first extra Civ I was thinking exactly about the Mandalorians. Due to their wide popularity in the Star Wars universe I decided this is a must have in a mod like this.

Anyway, about when I said "if we can get the mod out there" what I mean by this is that there are already people who were way ahead of us and did a lot of Civilizations. The only thing is that they do not have any new unit/building models or animations. Nor do they respec the research tree like we would like. That's all I'll say for now, watch out for the announcement in the upcoming few days.

What Star Wars Civ's other than the 4 already stated to be in development (and the possible force awakens add-ons), are being considered for development (personally I would love a Mandalorian civ but more focused on the Mando's form the legends stuff and not so much the clone wars TV series stuff) and if any of the ships would appear in any way?

Also this Mod sounds like a dream come true so keep up the good work!!

@TheNeonZebra Yes, we're getting closer and closer. Once we've made all Civilizations playable and with no bugs, we will consider releasing the demo.

This demo may be delayed depending on what discoveries our team makes, along with who joins our team too. This is not to say it would be anyone's fault for the delay, just for the purpose of making a better example of what we're aiming to achieve.
