Some time ago Metathrom released his Special Edition of Aeon of the Hawk. The new version features: several new cutscenes and playable maps, including the conclusion to the story; balance fixes and an easy version; new briefings to old maps and much, much more. You can see the full list of features in the release notes or go straight to the downloads page.

Firegraft 0.91 release

by Taeradun, 31st Jul 07

With the release of a powerful new StarCraft modding program, DiscipleOfAdun had this to post in the forum:

Firegraft is HERE! After over 2 years, I have completed a stable and suitable release version. For those of you who don't know, Firegraft is a modding program that is a successor for both Stargraft and Memgraft. It allows for editing of certain memory aspects such as the button sets and the tech tree. However, that's not the limit of what Firegraft can edit. In a controlled way, Firegraft allows modifications of many previously untouchable aspects of Starcraft. With things like the number of spidermines to the amount of time a unit is in stasis, from the ability to set multiple peons constructing a building to reversing the effect of recall, Firegraft allows for greater freedom in creating modifications.

Some of the features in this version:

Current support for version 1.15, meaning modifications can be played on battle.net.

A 'smart' button preview which updates based on the currently editing button.

PAT Importing. Old Stargraft patches can be directly opened for editing.

Requirements are done radically different. No more track bars. Now you can see exactly what it is in just a glance.

Button sets automatically rearange and count themselves, removing the two most common grafting problems.

Over 230 different editable values from the executable.
and many others.

Any feedback can be posted or PM'd to me on any site that I have an account on.

In The Admiral's Service 0.2 Released

by IskatuMesk, 15th Jul 07

I decided to re-release ITAS. Refer to my original posting on CC, here for further details on this SC mod.

In this version, I made some minor changes in the hopes to get the word out about the SC2 rendition I am going to be making. The changes include:

Some minor changes to the AI; it already functioned well, I just did a few minor touchups. Probably not even noticeable.
Removed the ready room background since it just blinded you.
Added response sets for the Alrashann II and Sorrow.
Added music for the Undead and title screen.
Removed the annoyingly-loud Confederate responses.

Tell your friends and family. Tell your neighbor. In fact, you'd better tell your dog, too. This is serious business.

Download it and talk about it.

In case you're too lazy to check the initial release link, this mod only works with SC:BW version 1.10. All original restrictions about using project content and such still apply.
