Draconian Empire mod

Homeworld 2 mod |

Draconian Empire is a total conversion mod for the game Homeworld 2, wich updates the graphics engine (shaders, effects, models,etc) and adds three new races with each their own new weapons, subsystems and sounds. It also features a brand new Singleplayer storyline telling the tale of humanity in their early days of space-travel, their encounter with the draconians and finally the birth of the Hiigaran people. A sequel to the Homeworld story, this mod's exciting new single-player campaign follows humanity from its early days of space-travel, where they eventually come in contact with the Draconians all the way to the finding of the second Hyperspace Core by the pre-Hiigaran people.

I have been working on shaders, textures, trails and movies and something about the Beta.

Posted by on

- Ok, so all ships have new trails using the new multi-trail system. Looks pretty spiffy, especially on the Human ships (see screenshots ;) )

- I have also been working on updating the shaders for planets wich have been so effectively and awesomely rewritten by CnlPepper. I already have made new textures etc for Earth, now im gonna see if i can make the Sun object in the "Sol" map even more epic!

- The textures of the Human ships are getting an overhaul too, giving them much more detail/realism. I'm also hoping to use a new alpha-texture wich hopefully will make transparencies possible (i.e. girders, windows that kinda stuff)

- The intro movie is finished! Its very much in the style of the original HW cinematics, being black and white, drawn and with a nice tension. AND THE MISSION PLAYS NORMALLY NOW! i'm sooooo happy with this!

- There are STILL issues with the build menu's etc. Can't really find out why but i think HW2 picks some files from its .BIG package still and this screws up the build-system. Again, help is much appreciated!

- More info on the BETA 0.1: it will prob. be focused on first three Singleplayer missions, including cinematics etc. I havent really got to work on the AI yet, so a good working Skirmish will have to wait till next update i think.

So, thats the update for now!

Keep y'all posted,

Jeroen from Evil Turtle Productions
