Get yourself a Buda5 interface! You don't need it, but its cool. :-) The interface replaces the I-War menu with a Buda5 one that works exactly the same way. Note: This is brand new. If you have the old experimental interface, you might as well update.

A small update about the Minbari War campaign: It is ready, but we still need some voices for the voice pack. Once I have all the voices, the campaign will be released.

The complete model pack is once again up to date. If you are not sure if you have the latest models or if you have had problems with the Infinity War, go download it now.

In addtion to that, the standard jumppoints that come with the jumpgate have been updated. There are now 3 separate models; one with blue textures for ships entering a system, one with orange textures for ships entering hyperspace and one with red textures for use in hyperspace. I also included a demonstration script about jumpgates, jumppoints and hyperspace.

Added ship file templates to Bin'Tak and Var'Nic and software texures to Th'Nor zips. Indie added ship files to T'loth and Earth freighter and Planetary Defence Satellite yesterday. The last one has also updated texures. The updated files version number in "X.Y.Z" format. "X" marks the model version, "Y" is the number of modifications - texures, collosion models etc. - to that model and "Z" is the number of updated ship setup files.

Another B5 mods article. It's in german, so if you can't read the language, copy the URL and go and paste it to Babel Fish to translate it. Here's a direct link to the Buda5 part. Somewhat related to the article I added a link to Maweric's page in BudaCom. He has a german installation guide for Buda5.

I made a sharper version of the Minbari War trailer. This one is 3,46MB in size. You should download this one if you have the bandwidth.

Also tidied this page a little. I removed some extra tables that didn't influence the look of the page and didn't show up.

"softwarefix.zip" updated, with new texures fixed by Fisu. Altogteher the zip contains now Nova, Experimental Omega, the rest Starfuries, EA Thunderbolt, Olympus, Warlock, Explorer ship, Merciful's jumppoints, Ringstation(only 1 texture), Bluebits.pix (used in indie four rail) - at least.

Past month had some anniversaries. It was about an year ago I found out Kier Darby's White Star worked in Independence War (everybody say:"Yeah!"). It also became an year since the infamous "Black Monday" when Sierra closed Yesemite Studios, thus making the remaining development crew to move. A decision that proved to be a prelude to B5:ItF's (everybody say:"Booo!").

New models, or model updates: Psi-Corps Shuttle v1.0, Textured Raider Carrier v1.0, Warlock Destroyer v1.0.

Other new files: software textures, another wav-pack.

Something else: moved links to other sites from "Resources" to "BudaCom". So you will find only media yms. files from "Resources" section now on. Should be more logical that way.
