Why am I doing this?
Well, after that I realized that I've been playing the same thing over and over again, I figured that I had to do something else to keep me sane while going to school (Grade 10 rocks, but the work sucks
), so I figured that the something had to be a mod. Anyways, this is the first one I am going to attempt.
The Mod
Tools: IceCC, RetroGRP/SFGRP, DatEdit, TblPad
Type: Heavy Conversion
Compatability: 1.14
Crossfire is a story of human factions caught in the tide of war for survival in the harsh environments of the unknown galaxy.
The year is 3012, and the Earth has "unexpectedly" blown up in an event known as "Final Hour". All of the world's nations have divided themselves to form two superpowers, the Patriot Division (a democratic-style government/faction, with the USA as the leading nation), and the New World Federation (a communist-style government/faction, with Russia as the leading nation). Having different agendas, both factions struggle to pursue the satisfaction of their eager population.
Two factions... Who disallow the existence of the other.
One goal... To survive in unfamiliar terrain.
One secret... To the events leading to Final Hour.
One... War...
This is a mod for 1.14, which will focus on the protoss and terran races.
Info
Crossfire (working title) Draft 1
Draft 1 Features:
-minor portrait changes/custom portraits (custom portraits includes ghost, zealot, and shuttle)
-small amounts of iscript changes (currently features random attacks)
-minor flingy, weapon, and unit.dat changes
-custom images (supply depot, battlecruiser, valkyre, arbiter, nexus, and gateway)
Shots from Battle
(Pictures soon to come, as soon as second draft is half done)

How about you tell us what you've actually changed, instead of just telling us the storyline which you probably won't use?

This is true. Tell us about the new graphics, post screens of them, and give us some examples of what you've changed.

That's a little off topic... You should make your own thread in the Modding Assistance forum and describe your problem with greater detail
Anyways, everything looks pretty good so far. I can't wait to see the final outcome.

Since its a long weekend for me, I think I'll focus on changing more stuff.
Currently focusing on tweaking unit stats\names\scripts and balancing issues. Graphics will be left for last (I've decided to just alter a few unit\building graphics).
All I need now is some sort of motivation boost..

I'll never understand why you value the tools used more than the actual content.

Progress is starting, and a first draft of the mod is now downloadable (see first post). Cant be bothered with pictures, so I'll let the first draft speak for me.
The draft features minor portrait changes (with the shuttle seeming to be random and the sair switching back n forth), all current flingy, unit, and weapon.dat, and all current iscript.bin changes. Would be nice to tell me if there are any bugs.
