I have begun work on a new mod and wanted to share the progress with the community, such as it has become in these many years.
At some point Relic switched their forums around and my old account got deleted or became un accessible, so I made this new one, but enough about me and one with the mod.

This project will be a continuation of the project found in this thread here: http://forums.relicnews.com/showthre...light=robotech

This mod will be a total conversion with at least 3 new races, the REF(Robotech Expeditionary Force), the Invid, and the Zentraidi are currently planned.
A single player campaign is planned for the future as well at some point, although I would like to see if Harmony gold plans to make a sequel to the Shadow Chronicles.
Any help is welcome such as concepts, modeling, and coding.

Updates: New renders of Izumo textures in progress in post #2
Preliminary Ship List (Subject to change)
Note: most of these ships are listed on the Unofficial Robotech Reference Guide Page. http://ptn.home.xs4all.nl/robotech.html

At the end of the topic I linked to you will see that a catastrophic hard drive failure ended all progress for that project, and I threw the junk hard drive in a box hoping that some day I would be able to recover the files.
Well long story short I eventually got a program the enabled me to recover some of my files, not all.
Lots of work was still lost, but I did manage to recover some of the models tho most of the texture files were corrupted.

With the recent release of the new version of the Complex mod it renewed my interest in modding Homeworld, and with the IP being acquired it has raised my hopes for an updated version of the franchise, so I figured why not start working on it again. Hopefully Gearbox will not change too much and by the time I have made some decent progress, maybe the new HD version of Homeworld 2 will be ready.

The Basic plan will be the same as the old mod with the exception of some of the newer Shadow Chronicles content included. I will update this post with a new planned shiplist soon but for now I will dig up a few renders of some of the newer ship models WIP and some of my older renders that the links in the old thread are broken, and I cannot fix anymore. ]]> Mods in progress Zen_Shenron http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?272286-Robotech-The-Shadow-Cronicles
