TCAT 2.0

Post by phkb »

Another updated mission pack? Oh, yes. Why leave it at only 1 or 2. The people want more. MORE! So let's go BIG!

Which is kind of appropriate for this mission. Because there's... well, you'll see! :wink:

In this updated version:
- Updates to all models, applying new textures, normal and specular maps where appropriate.
- Replaced Navy Station model with a customised Ico.
- Replaced Thargoid Interceptor and Sneak with a customised version of Griff's Organic Thargoid Robot Fighter.
- Updates to all scripts, utilising condition scripts, system populators, and non-deprecated spawning methods.
- Prevented mission from starting if the Stealth mission is underway.
- Allowed Raptors to be used by HIMSN as Advanced or Heavy patrols.
- Allowed Raptors to be used by Cataclysm as military ships.
- Added links to Library PAD (at least, I think I did...)

Download your copy here: TCAT_2.0.oxz

For information on the mission, head to this [EliteWiki] wiki page. It has links to a few different BB threads discussing the original version.

You can find some discussion of my progress with this pack at this thread: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=21798

Many thanks to cbr who contributed some improved textures for the big, well, Thargoid thing.

Let me say, belatedly: this is all jolly good; well done; thank you.
