Hmm, tell us or I ban you EdricO! :P

Do you guys have a date for release yet? Or maybe some *good* screenshots of the mod in action?

[nemafakei]

Hang on... I'll make some this evening.

[Dunenewt]

2 screenshots: Conyard and Factory.

[evilbaronatreides]

how come you get to make screenshots of the modm nema?

by the by, great screenshots!!!!! Now, only if we could actually get the mod...

[Gobalopper]

So I take it that you can use parts of other xbf files to make new structures? And also change the colouring of the structures as well?

[nemafakei]

I made some atreides textures go 'imperial gold' for the mod - so I can make screenshots of the structures.

We can change the textures used in the game. But the texures are about 3MB, all zipped.

[Dunenewt]

cant u get rid of the Atreides hawk ??? ???

[Timenn]

Very hard, I think, cause you have to change the object self...

[ken124578]

need expansion pack.........NEED expansion pack.........NEED! or wait no i don't need the expansion pack i NEED to fix my computers disk drive. >:(

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Good for you.

[nemafakei]

Oh, the hawk's going. You'll get a bashar instead, I think. And "Yes, it's a unit"

[nampigai]

wasn't the bashar included from the beginning Nema ??

[nemafakei]

Yes, as a replacement to the hawk strike.

[nampigai]

Ok I never liked the hawk strike anyway, I play with the harks, but I think I'll play corrino soon ;)

[evilbaronatreides]

ordos seem pretty beefed up now, though.

[Dunenewt]

i meant cant u get rid of the Hawk on Atreides buildings

replace it with a lion or sumthing like that

[Edric O]

Ok, the information is no longer classified:

The xaf format has been cracked. The guy who did it emailed ghosty about it. It's not xbf so we can't make new models, but it's the next best thing. As I remember it, the xaf format holds all the animations and something else that I can't remember right now...

However, we won't edit the xaf files in the first version of the mod. That will have to wait for the second release.

The mod is ready. The only thing left to do is to solve the freezing problem.

I have a great screenshot of a Corrino base under attack by Harks, but I can't upload it until that stupid FTP decides to start working... :(

[Edric O]

Ok, I managed to upload it. See it here:

[quoudam72]

Well as soon as you guys fix the freezing problem the sands of Arrakis will once again be ours to control. BTW the screen shot looks good you guys have done a good job.

[Dunenewt]

The suspence is killing me....

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Xaf? Well anyways, YEEEEEAAAAAAH!!!!!!

[Edric O]

As for the release date, here's what ghosty had to say about it:

"I will NOT release a buggy mod!"

He's the boss...
