New Hapan Ship Shaders! image - Empire at War Expanded: Thrawn's Revenge mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
Thrawn's Revenge is a large-scale mod for Empire at War: Forces of Corruption. It includes the events of the Galactic Civil War after Palpatine's death at Endor, up until the signing of the Pellaeon-Gavrisom treaty. If you own the Steam version of EaW, you will have to complete extra steps to run the mod after installation. Please see the manual for these steps.
As we approach the Hapans becoming playable, some of their existing content is starting to receive some updates. Hapan ships have usually been shown with a bit of a shimmer in the light, and rather than just try to make that a standard colour as part of the base texture, Bob has updated the ship shaders to allow for a multi-coloured specular/glossiness texture, which Valerie has made for all Hapan ships. Here you can see the Battle Dragon using it, the colour and intensity changes a bit as you go over the ship, letting it playb with the light a little differently.
Awesome. I'm hoping the MC80 and Assault Frigate (possibly the Corona and Sacheen too) will receive some model changes as well in the future, along with this and the many Imperial ship updates.
That's a nice detail.
Nice touch
Wouldn't in space, the specular be only "white-colored" and not multi-colored like here :o
