XWVM is a mod to the original X-Wing game from Lucas Arts and Totally Games by Larry Holland and Edward Kilham. We are re-implementing the executable to extend the game beyond its original hardware support. The mod of course requires the player to own and have installation of the original X-Wing game, or have the GOG or Steam versions of X-Wing Special Edition (either the 1993 floppy, the 1994 CD, and/or 1998 Windows edition). The team of fans developing XWVM is not associated with Lucasfilm Ltd or Disney, and XWVM is not an official Star Wars product. XWVM isn't a standalone game, or total conversion, but a mod to the original. XWVM neither contains nor distributes any copyrighted material. All game resource files (missions, voice overs, SFX, iMUSE automaton, in-game graphics and 3D models, etc) are loaded from the player's copy of the original game, or are replacements originally created by our team, where the original resources are considered inadequate for today's standards.
This design is based on the Navbuoy as seen in the MS-DOS and MacOS releases of "X-Wing", which was different than the one seen in "TIE Fighter" and "X-Wing vs TIE Fighter".
Some artistic license on the design was taken, like adding a main body, panels and struts.
The texture is still a placeholder, which is going to receive more details including solar panels.
Coming along, but definitely already an improvement in the same concept on the original!
Thank you. :)
