Release: Dusk Wars Act 1 Take 2
on: March 03, 2013, 09:12:35 pm


Dusk Wars Act 1

A fixed version of the original Dusk Wars re-released to the public. Dusk Wars will be separated into 3-4 Acts telling you the story of a galaxy divided by war and terror.

Features in Act 1
*2 new unique factions based off of original factions: The Bal'ran Empire, a theological empire strongly dedicated to their polytheist religion: The Trinity, and the Anshari Empire, a genocidal empire which has begun to wage war against the galaxy.
*New, yet familiar soundtrack from the modifications you love so dearly and old soundtrack from Freespace 1 and 2.
*A unique storyline that's easy to follow
*New weapons that are easy to understand and work with
*A slightly unique new warp effect! (It is not dull at all! *sarcasm*)

Important Information
The new Dusk Wars is no way affiliated with the old plot which was very difficult to follow. This new Dusk Wars was developed to be easy to follow and understand.

Requirements
*Freespace Open 3.6.14 or later
*Mediavps 3.6.12 (any future versions, should there ever be, may render Dusk Wars obsolete)
*Time


Installation Instructions

Windows:

1. Extract the folder itself into your Freespace 2 directory
 -Should look like this in the end: "C:\Games\Freespace 2\Dusk_Wars"
2. Go to your launcher and enable the mod
3. Engage Freespace 2, go to campaign, and enjoy!

Mac:

TBA

Linux:

TBA

Thank you to everyone who offered their assistance and advice as without you, Dusk Wars may not of been possible. Special thanks to the Ancient Shivan War Team for the inspiration from your modification and the Ancient Fleet. Without it, the Bal'ran Fleet may not of been possible and this mod may not exist.

I hope you enjoy Dusk Wars Act 1, if you wish to contribute to the development of the much more important Act 2 please drop a message or say so in this forum post.

Beacuse of this issue I'll re-upload the file to another location. As for credits, I listed everything but the music section. I apologize for this mistake and it will be fixed. Expect a new download link with a fixed credits list later tonight.

The problem with Freespacemods is that I use it so rarely is that I don't remember my log in information, as a result I will upload it to Gamefront some other location for now until I fix my issue with Freespacemods. I will also approve if anyone would like to upload the mod to Freespacemods for me, which would save me a lot of trouble.

A new download link is now available via Gamefront. Should you have further problems please report them. I'm trying to get this uploaded to Freespace Mods but the website is giving me troubles in sending me a activation email. Anyways, enjoy and sorry for making others wait.

Gamefront says 'file not found' for me.
Right now I'd settle for a Mediafire link...

That doesn't make any sense, I tested the link 3 times and it seemed to work, I also had the mod uploaded to moddb.com which is taking some time to authorize in the meantime. Either way I'll look into this.
