Added a shadow tech starfury and thunderbolt here. These would have been seen in the last episode of season 1 of Crusade had it gone on.

Added review scores of the Pelit article to the translated version. Fisu has also added screenshots to the 'show-off' section. Go and admire.

The latest issue of Finnish PC games magazine Pelit has a three page feature of our fair conversion. Apparently magazine's subcripers can also download Minbari War campaign from their site, altought I can't verify if all model packs etc. are there too. The article is in Finnish, but folks at there were kind enough to allow us publish a translated version of the article. Navigate to the new "show-off" section and furter from there to read it.

More news is the shining new section to this site allready mentioned. "Show-off" will feature screenshots (once Fisu uploads them), links to articles about or related to Buda5 and other self-praise. We are just so great. :-)

Ugh! The legacy of the resent FirstOnes server problems hounts us still. One ship setup file for Olympus corvette was missing, causing one Minbari War mission to be impossible to finish. To fix this download Olympus corvette zip, and unzip it folders enabled. All model packs are also updated to include the file.

Other news is there is going to be Babylon 5 mods and freeware games IRC chat - Buda5 developers included.

Date: Saturday, May 27, 1:00pm EST
Channels: #Firstones (moderated)
#b5mods for asking questions, and general discussion
Server: Efnet

EST is 5 hours behind Greenwitch time, so for people living in that time the chat is 18:00. Many Europeans should also remember the additional hour due the summer time. So for example in Finnish time that chat is at 21:00 - not 20:00.

Due some mix up some model packs had some old SHP -files. Among these was Starfury setup that had all it's thrusters burning when main engines fired. The setup also had the tightest possible weapons arc instead of 30 degrees. That made Minbari War considerable harder in places. I've updated the files to all relevant zips. You can also download one of the individual Starfury zips in 'EA fighters' section to get the SHP file, or 'softwarefix2.zip' if you want all the files.

I've also put back a link to Indie's Buda5 interface to resources page. You can also access the Loading Screens via 'Resources'.

Added a new page to the site Loading Screens. You can download the images and install them the same way you install the models and they will replace the current loading screens. These work for both the software mode and hardware mode versions of the game.

Finnish PC-game magazine Pelit's on-line site had a brief news article about our mod's first campaign. The article is in Finnish, but the contecnt was the Minbari War campaign is out and one should read 'installation' and 'FAQ' pages before installing the mod (A very good advice ;-).

They also mentiond my 'surprisingly good quality' trailer. (Available from 'resources' page.)

Other news is I put a link to a zip of screenshots to 'resources' page. They are from Minbari War -campaign.

The minbari war campaign is out NOW! You can download it from the missions page. As you may have guessed, it takes place during the Earth-Minbari war.

If you have any problems, make sure you have the current model pack (If you downloaded it several months ago, it is not!) and then check out the FAQ. If that doesn't help, post a message on the Buda5 board - link is in BudaCom.

Other news: We lost all files today, so let us know if you find a broken link or old files. All the latest models disappeared too, but we hope to have everything back to normal soon.
