We know that it has been a long road since the last update but Cooper and I are glad to announce that the mod is working again and we want to give you the opportunity to try it on your own...

This said, the mod is still under "testing build" status and will not stay the same for the final release (that's what testing is for, right ?) and your feedback will be welcome to help us to improve the mod to the top, hopefully ^^

So, let us begin, here's the list of what have changed :

Zentradi


On their way, Cooper is already working on them



Cooper wanted to make some tests with the steam package before going through Zentradi improvements (textures, animations, reviewed meshes etc...) and so, they are not there yet, but animations are ready and a basic A.I has been worked on and implemented. Ships have new textures, all meshes have been reviewed and new FXs have been integrated since the last update, but we won't hold you any longer, try them by yourself !

ps : Sorry for the delay, I totally forgot about the changes note on steam ^^'

Hotfix 0.1.11a

- Hotfix for 0.1.11 update to adress a crashing issue when loading for some players

Just a simple update to reorganise the description page.
For details about the 0.1.11 update, please refer to the previous change note.

Hello everyone, as promised, here's the 0.1.11 update with a lot of changes and content !

BE AWARE THAT THIS MOD IS UNDER TEST PHASE !

There are still a lot of things to tweak and improve, so try to be indulgent, and if you have to be critical, at least try to do so in a constructive way.
We are updating to let you enjoy the mod and to give you the opportunity to follow this project alongside our team.
Speaking of which, we want to thank all the helpful people you've met so far, who kick the hell out of our agenda by saving us a lot of time. So thank you guys for providing your precious advices, your super material from the former mods (3D models and files) and the most of all, your own free time :)

With that config, cooper may suffer few slight performance losses, but not the big deal and, moreover, he forgets to close other programs from time to time.
On my side, I've experienced FPS drops only when a lot of units are firing together, it seems to be a CPU issue, but we have to dig into it.

We might have forgotten some stuff, but who knows, maybe we intended to...

See you around and have fun ! ;)

Hi everyone !

As you may have noticed, there is no description for the first updates within the logs, but it is about to change. First, I would like to detail how we are going to proceed. Each update will start by a "0" and thus, until the final release which will most likely be "1.0" and should change again after that...
The second digit represents the generation being developed at the moment, and the last part of the designation is the step-by-step evolution for the generation being developed. For instance, right now the mod has the current status "0.1.10", so this is the 10th update for the 1st generation.


Here's the mini roadmap (subject to change)

0.1.xx => Macross TV show & movie
0.2.xx => Macross+ & Macross7
0.3.xx => Macross Frontier
0.4 is under discussion for Macross Delta implementation
0.5 Going to BETA
0.X Fixing bugs/balancing

> 0.1.10
- Fixed an issue with "ARMD cruiser" and "Oberth destroyer" building process


> 0.1.09
- Added the ARMD class for carrier and cruiser


> 0.1.01 => 0.1.08
- release of the mod under testing protocol
- Add various units without A.I for deathmatch
*SDF1 version TV show
*Spider Bug
*Lockhee SF-3A Lancer II
*Northrom QF-3000E Ghost
