This mod aims to bring strategic combat to the Babylon 5 universe.
We'll start off with the Earth Alliance vs. the Minbari and go from there once we have those two complete factions.
The mod is being developed using a SVN repository. We have made this repository open to the public so you can download and experiment with the mod while its being developed. Instructions for downloading the SVN version can be found in this thread on our forums: SVN Instructions.

Sorry we've been a bit quiet, life has been getting in the way of the project a tad lately. However, we have some news, hurrah! We've been working on a few things behind the scenes, quite a lot of coding and some modeling work. On the modeling front I can show you the model I'm working on, the EA cotton tender:
She stands at 7362 polys at LOD0. If I get time I'll be rendering the normal maps and textures this weekend. With luck it'll be in game in a week or so.
Only registered members can share their thoughts. So come on! Join the community today (totally free) and do things you never thought possible.
When I do a skirmish vs. cpu, I can't see EA or Minbari as a race choice!
w00t is it out?
If you can't see it, then the mod isn't installed properly.
I just updated the mod recently with a custom main menu. Do you see that or just the regular main menu when you start the mod?
If you just see the plain background, then either you installed the mod in the wrong place or you have a problem with the shortcut you use to start the game.
If you do see the new menu background, then it sounds like you're missing some files in the mod. A reinstall should fix it.
Progress on the mod is still slow, but not non-existent.
Still one of my fav mods :D. I love doing the epic struggle of five hiigarans/vagyr vs 1 Earth Force.
Of course im a hiigaran and i go down fighting ;). Greatness!
P.S: I actually win when i play vagyr. Something to do with BC main gun...
I can imagine that. Of course, the sides are in no way balanced yet. The only viable tactic at present is to go after your opponents construction ships with extreme prejudice. Otherwise they'll be cranking out ships faster than you can destroy them.
Once we finish the remaining Minbari ship models, we'll be ready to work on balancing them properly with prices and build times. How long that will take is a bit up in the air though, since it's mostly CnlPepper working on the models we need. It's a big task for a single person.
Great looking mod guys, well done. I have downloaded It but when I play I suffer really bad slow down. Can anyone give me A hand. This seems to be when the fleet (EA or Minbari) are in view on any map. My Specs are:
Windows XP SP2
Duo Core 2.8Gh Processor
3gb RAM
ATI Radion HD3600 Graphics Card
Soundblaster X-Fi Sound Card
Cheers
It may be the vsync problem you're having. Try turning on vsync in the game options. If it doesn't solve your problem, go to Forums.relicnews.com
That's the troubleshooting forum for HW2. You will get help if you post there.
