Dustwars Minimod
Apr 16, 2010 Demo 3 commentsThe other version of Dustwars I've found. I'm pretty sure there should be more, but can't find it so far. HOW-TO-RUN after the jump.
"It has been said, that the Created cannot stand against the will of the Creator...
But this belief has been shattered.
With it, came an age of war unlike any seen by the cosmos' baryonic burden - planets withered, stars stuttered and fade...
But life still clung on to it's meager existance, and what must not be forgotten were lost...History became legend, legend became myth, and for countless millennias life moved on, oblivious to the fact that what once was lost, has been reawakened..."
"The vengeance of the ousted Creator can only be quenched by the blood of existence"

But there were no Dustwars to be found on the intertubes so I had to resort around my old semi-crashed HD and see if Dustwars is still there. And luckily some of it was. And since it's not on the internets I thought why the hell shouldn't I reupload it?
And here they are, an early, almost fully ship featured alpha and early minmod:
Dustwars Alpha Mod
Dustwars Minimod
I couldn't find the later minimod (it had some really cool things like PDSes on bombers and frigates, space stations (okay, armed asteroids, but still) and stuff. This is the release I mean. If anyone has it perchance I would greatly appreciate sharing so I can reupload it here too.

Rummaging about my old semi-crashed hardrive I have found a Dustwars mod alpha demo from waaay back. I played it over LAN with my friend and found it...

we can probably do animatic scenes with hiigarans. it's onlt a matter of animating them.
lifeboats can be pre-scripted into every capital ship that has launch bays.
YAY !!! We've got over thousand of hits in our profile !
Thank you all !!!
Replying for two last:
Yes, I mean rendered cutscenes with humanlike characters and other cool things.
I guess it's impossible in HW2 engine, but the idea is interesting. Acual plan is that the big ships in some mission will have preprogrammed event, which will launch other ships when the life level will reach critical. It will be used only for certain levels.
Yays!
hahaha, very funny, i really hope the mods cam bring out the beauty of HW2, i can't seem to find any way of improving it. but anyway
*reads the talk about future*
wow, someone's digged really deep into my brain!! here's what i think:
=-great, looking forward to the non-reversed storyline (the base storyline of HW2 is basicly reversed story from HW1)
=-i love this bit, the multigun-corvette is the one im missing the most from HW1, but please don't have the missle destroyer in there cos that'd just destroy the idea of subsystems
=-if not for the completed names in PDS mod, i'd be loving it to bits, but i can't because the names just puts me off, so PDS lite isjust what i'd like
=-HW2's music is somewhat poor, so looking forward to that
=-you mean like animations? like instead of loads reading out from text, just 1st stardand FPS-styled cutscene?
=-it sometimes makes you wonder: if there's a limited crew number on the MS, why when the cap-ships being distroyed, no one even tryed to escape? well, the lifeboats will put a new diamention to it (i hope, something like if you don't retrive lifeboats, the unit-cap will decrease? )
so, i am looking forward for another great mod to be realeased SOON ;)
the AI was not yet completed for player vs computer play.
and, the starting fleets are configured so that you may start the game with 2 fleets engaging, without any slow building process or whatsoever. The power of the republicans diminish when you employ battle tactics which emininates their forward firing arc advantages.
