This is to give everyone the ability to play the same maps with a complete
new look and feel. As of now you will see new:
Skies
Textures
Vehicles
Models
Explosions
Taunt and command menus
Main Menus and sounds/cursors
Etc. - Etc.
There will be a total of 4 main installs with the final product, and many more sub options. Sub option examples with or without included reskins on weapons, x-hairs, scopes, blood mods(now included), sound mods(now included). Global text, realism choices or opt to go original.
The 4 main options on final product will be:
Pin-up version with or without reworked stock maps
War-propaganda version with or without reworked stock maps
A light or full install for example on that.
An example of reworked stock maps; at least one modification to each stock map. Good example of this- Wouldn't it be nice to get in the clock tower in Remagen, need i say more. The full install option if you opt to go with it needless to say would only be playable on an eyecandy server. But with the light option you can play any server regardless if the server runs eyecandy. If you want to use the full install you can still play any server due to the core remaining inside a user-pk3. I am presently working with ea on this and can ensure that this will be done properly. I must say that community involvement will be a deciding factor on the quality of the final product. The ability to turn it on and off easily will be the hardest part.
If you are getting tired of seeing the same maps, the same look, than this is your best option. I am looking to achieve the highest over-all approval rate on this, that is why the amount of options are necessary. To answer your question as of now, you can download one of the two themes and be able to see just about any map in a different light. I have recently reworked all the taunt and command menus that match my server local. So if you want to see the full effect that can be achieved you would need to join that server, you can see the server info on the multi-player menu inside
MOHAA. My clan has all of the matching audio as well but i need to work on the integration of the multiplayer sounds into the conversion. The sound pack is presently at 60 MB alone and is not posted on the site. The menus,
localization text, and command menus are not final, and should be decided
and supported by the community. Warning may offend some!
So to sum it all up, everyone has the ability to play and contribute to this conversion. Or you can keep checking on the status of other conversions without the ability to try it, or create it. You have the choice here!
Enjoy!
At the moment you will only get a single pk3, no readme when you download. Around 30MB now. and only 15% complete. Nothing has been determined to be final. You can view the readme onsite!
