News Batch #1: Campaign Developments - Starcraft 1.5: Fusion Conversion Maps mod for Warcraft III: Frozen Throne

To keep everyone more informed on the lastest going ons for the project, ive decided to follow the style of news boardcasting from the very popular Karuna news batchs. These new batchs will be number and labelled according to what the current work is being done on the project and ill continue to post new news every month.

Now, since the release of the lastes maps pack v6, its popularity has been growing everyday increasing the projects interest with fans. So i've now moved my focus to working on the conversion of all the Starcraft campagin mission. As you all know the Precauser Boot Camp campagin map was the first campagin my project released and now i want to perfect the map by converting as much of it to Starcraft i as can. This will then follow into the rest of the campagin maps, making it easier for me to convert maps. This is no easy task as i have found. With alot of skins needing to be converted from wc3 to sc. So the last few months ive been slowly creating skins to recreate the Starcraft look for things like the game menu screen and the victory/defeat score screens.

New Game Menu Skins

The New Look Score Screen for Terran Victory

Along with the new skins, i also added team colours to the Blizzard Zergling model, as i leanred how to do this during the multiplayer map model and skin developments. The look is somewhat ok in my opinion. I think the greyness of the skin is what makes it look different compared to the Original Zergline unit in Starcraft. I might develop this skin before the final version is released but i am unsure how i would go about improving the skin further at this point.

There still much for work to do before i can start work on a new campagin. But i can promise the wait will be worth it. I plan to not just release the new version of the Boot Camp map but hopefully 3 new campaign maps to finish off the Precauser missions.
