X-mas present #24: Earth at war demo
Dec 31, 2011 Demo 27 commentsSurprise! The final X-mas present I'm giving to you is this release. :D All the information you need is in the readme file, there are several annoying...
Prolouge of the Earth at war storyline:
Hello, I’m
Megavin, one of the chosen keyblade warriors. I was born on the planet Bespin
and lived there for five years, when I was discovered by the keyblade wielder
council I moved to their home planet called Carida where I followed training to
become one of the keyblade masters; those where elite keyblade warriors whose
goal was to protect the galaxy from feared dark creatures known as ‘the
Heartless’ led by a warrior of darkness whose name was ‘Ansem’. However when I
was twelve Carida was attacked and destroyed by the Heartless and I knew to
escape with a handful of other keyblade warriors: Sora, Sam, Justin and Dave.
Together we fled to the Kamino system and we established a small militia there
called the ‘Galactica
Republic’ and with that
army we fought and defeated the Dark Empire which is another feared faction in
the universe. Another two years later the Galaxy was in peace and the United
Galactic Federation was formed, led by us, the elite keyblade warrior council.
When I was fourteen years old we declared war with the heartless and we fought
two massive wars against them. During those wars we also reformed the Keyblade
order and we had a army of keyblade warriors who fought alongside us in the so called
‘Heartless Wars’. The war ended one year later and we disbanded the U.G.F. and
the members of the Elite council where shattered and fled to several small
outer rim worlds, I fled to a small temperate planet called Earth located in
the Sun system and I lived there for twenty years with the name ‘Melvin
Winthagen’ but then something happened; Russia has established a colony on the
planet Coruscant and the UN Declares war with Russians calling themselves the
‘Intergalactic empire’ and I joined the Earth alliance, the army formed by the
UN to take arms against the Intergalactic Empire. However we also encountered a
third faction in the galaxy: The feared Black hole pirates, accompanied by the
Heartless! But they weren’t led by Ansem. They where led by the Lord of
Darkness; the true leader of Darkness, killing him will make the Heartless
disappear for good, so I realised that this was the very beginning of the end
of my war with the Heartless.
This is
Earth at War!

At the moment I'm working in a cruiser for the Earth Alliance, with lots of detail, that's the reason it's taking me so long to update. I'm also having exams at the moment which also takes away a great deal of time. I'm getting one of my modellers on a Carrier for the Earth Alliance so you'll still get something to look at. Ironically my exams are over on 21st of december, the day of the *Cough*Apocalypse*Cough* (Which I don't believe in).
Anything to report?
During my free time I have been writing several sketches for events in the novel adaption of Earth At War which you will probably see in the mod, p.e. a battle in the Asteroidbelt, or the invasion of Earth where the Heartless attempt to kill the Earth Alliance president.
Another thing is that every planet will be getting it's unique things, like units or upgrades.
And finally, since this mod will cover plenty of units and planets, you may always suggest some names or submit concepts to the mod, every kind of help will be most appreciated.
I need to finish this report now since I need to leave for school and do my maths exam.

Hey, people, here's a vid I made of a battle on one of my maps. I made it to demonstrate you the gameplay of the mod. The reason why it's a download is...
3 Space maps for mod, they experimental (trying to aim at Night/Day versions of different maps):
Here's the first short story for the beginning of the Earth At War timeline.
This is a couple of light sabers for your mouse. Sence this is megavin123 B-Day i thought to release this for evryone. There is Yellow, Red, Purple, Green...
For those having problems with the mod: If you go into the Earth At War folder in your FOC Mod directory, you'll notice that Art, Audio, Scripts, Text, XML, are sitting there. Make a data folder, and put all the folders in that folder.
The art, audio, scripts, text, XML folders should then be located in the data folder, similar to, depending on your installation base, the following: C:\Program Files(x86)\Star Wars Empire At War Forces Of Corruption\Mods\Earth-at-war\Data
So is this just dead? I've been watching it for little over a month now, and absolutely no news updates, information on anything about the mod has not been posted, comments are dead.. So.. is it dead? This looks very promising..
No, we've had a major shutdown and I lost contact with most of the team, but I'm still working on it. I was about to write a new news update when I saw your comment. I'm going to make more complicated models and stuff now so don't expect an update every day but we're working on it. Regards, Megavin123
Nice!
Alright I'm back! ;D We shall return with a vengeance lol #IfyouknowwhatImean expect update within a week :P
I see you've done quite a bit of modelling in google sketchup, have you managed to get any of those into game yet as would be good to see some of the new ships you've made in game.
Not yet, the first need to be skinned, rigged, animated (Death clones, moving parts etc.) and converted. I'll first do my part along with my modellers: Making the models for the mod so we've done our part. Then we'll start skinning and stuff :)
that is the problem nowadays, i struggle to get my models (they are skinned) in game because there are no riggers around. BEst of luck for you finding one because I am outta luck
We have a rigger in the team but he's quite inactive, I fear I have to learn the rigging and scripting myself...
planets look very cool :)
