Essential files for editing Independence War
  • IWar Mission Development Kit is essential for as well playing and as for creating custom missions. It also has a guide for using the kit and missions, which answers the basic questions.
  • IWar Texturing Kit contains the tools to convert normal image files into IWar textures. Howerver this palette file is needed to get the texures look right in the game. To ably the palette to an image in Paint Shop Pro choose "Colours/Load Palette..." (the short cut is Shift-O) and then open the this palette with "Nearest colour matching" -switch. After that load the same palette again, but with "Maintain idexes". Now the colours show up right in Glide. This isn't neccessery the case in software mode tought, since some colours are regressive, and are swallowed by the colour of nebula and ambient lighting, whilst others are dominant colors that "shine trought".
  • IWar scripting language syntax file for EditPlus.
  • NanoScripter v1.0 by Nanoprobe, mirrored from Colliderring.com. Much like EditPlus with the above syntax file, but you can also launch the scripts right from the program. See a screenshot of the utility.

Media files

  • Wav-sound pack. (Required for Minbari War)
  • Wav pack #2.
  • Buda5 Minbari War Trailer. Credits: screen captures and video compiling by The Merciful, CGI Indie (Sharlin) & Conor Clancy (Hyperion). File size 1 817KB (1,77MB), lenght 36 seconds, resolution 400x300 pixels.
  • A sharper version of the above trailer. 3,46MB in size, othervise identical.
  • 1.3MB screenshots zip-archive. The shots are from Minbari War -campaign, taken in Defiance software mode and 1024x768 resolution. That's because I like its lighting best, and it runs faster than in Glide. Image format is PCX.

Misc. enchantments

  • Loading screens by various people.
  • Buda5 interface by Indie. Changes the rotating Dreadnought into whitestar etc. in IWar start screen.
  • Starfury Nav-station template for software mode - by Bolodin. Copy the file in the \psg\resource\art -directory, and let windows over write the old Nav.PCX. You may want to back-up the old file first tough. Doesn't work in Glide mode. A screenshot.
  • Here is another Starfury Nav-station template for software mode - sent to us by Mark. Install as above, but replace the test_0.gui file also because some of the controls are relocated. Doesn't work in Glide mode. A screenshot.
