This is the story of the last of the Babylon 5 mod-efforts. It's goal, to prevent another failure, by creating a place to solve our problems collaboratively. Its a port of call, home away from home, for modelers, texturers, programmers and sound engineers.

Release 0.54.1 Full Download for Rebellion 1.95+& Patch 0.54.2
NEW - Balvarin Carrier and Minor Factions fix!
Installation Guide:
Sometimes the in-game mod loader can be a bit funky so if you can't see the mods you've installed or something isn't working then enabling the mods via the 'EnabledMods.txt' file in your 'Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder where you installed the mods to is the other alternative. It should look like this to work:

Yours TobiWahn_Kenobi
The site/forum is back online
Yes!! Thanks for the information.
Hyperion texture about 80% finished
Statusupdate:
Hyperion texture finished (to the best of my abilities)AO and Illumination Map rendering this very moment.
Sweet sweet! Cant wait, appreciate the hard work and time you are putting into this project!
Thanks. At least you still following us makes me think this mod is not yet dead
Yeah I usually check the site everyday for any new news! Im sure there are other people that check every now and then as well.
I check every few days for news too. Must feel isolating, working on the mod in between your hard work schedule. But I think it is safe to say that there are a lot of people who are just waiting patiently and admiring the excellent work that you and the other modders have been doing on this project.
I think that for the time being, only Tobi is working on the mod... He have receive a bunch of model from various modeler but he is alone for texture them and the coding... The mod have a very good texturer who lately is very busy with real life... When i give model to Tobi, they are textured but my texturing skill are far to reach the quality level wished by Tobi for the mod...
So, maybe if some talented texturer read these topic and wish to work for the mod, don't hesitate to contact Tobi
Thanks Thoumsin. As for your textures, I mostly only changed the hue and saturation on them and added Illumination and AO, the rest of your texture remained mostly unchanged (sorry still not to have included the rest of your Vorlon fleet, they will be next after finishing the Hyperion) and it is a wonderful texture at that.
As for the mod, yes, I'm mostly alone right now. Koobalt has done an awful lot of models, but without help textureing them, it'll take a long time to finish them all (and thats only the Narns). SteinerX is very busy at the moment, so we desperately need a good texturer. I have done no codeing at the moment because I want to finish my Database first (which I'll use to make codeing and balancing and research) but as I'm doing models and textures right now, that has to take a backseat as well. And then there's real life too. So today I'm on a K's Choice Concert so Hyperion wont be finished today I suppose. But It's almost done, only the mesh missing.
Well, if i good remember, AO was taking you around one night before... now with the top computer, it is faster but always take time...
About the rest of my Vorlon fleet, don't be sorry... i have bombard you with multiple models in a few days... you cannot make everything in the same time...
By the way, when you will have less work, the vorlon planet killer, the fighter, and the bomber can be ready very fast... along a bunch of other models like the skylar transport, the tanker transport ( can be usefull for your new fuel system ) and the container transport...
My texturing skill have maybe improve lately but i am light year away from the SteinerX quality... pity that guy like him are so rare in the modding world... SteinerX is very busy at the moment, so we desperately need a good texturer.
It was the main reason of my previous post...
Anyway, i will always make texture for the ship that i will send you... not a top work but can maybe use them until Steiner is back or until you find someone...
Lately, Koobalt have begin to texture his new model too... like me, not a top work but it is better that nothing... so, it is possible that with future Koobalt model, you will have less work...
And for info, these mod cannot die... it is my prefered show after Andromeda ( season 5 not included )...
Just for Tobi... a article from the 15 october 2010... http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=28907 ...
“I said to Warner Bros a while back, 'When you’re ready to do something real with 'Babylon 5,' either a big-budget film or a TV show, if you want to do one of those two things, call me, otherwise don’t bother me.' About a month ago the phone rang. I don’t know where this is gonna go yet, but when they call you, there’s something going on."
I think that these news will cheer you up a little...
Patiently waiting. I check the site everyday for new posts. Cant wait for the Hyperion, and thanks for all your hard work Tobi.
Thanks to all of you. And thanks alot Thoumsin, I'm looking forward to the new models of yours. As for textureing, if you take a look at my first models, my textures were way below anything any of you could do, but I think I'm getting better doing that so I'll keep textureing my models as good as I can. I think my Hyperion isn't bad after all.
Hyperion Ingame
beautiful looking ship! Awesome job!
beautiful..can't wait to take it to battle...
You guys have any idea about when the next version is coming out ? cause I really want that Hyperion...
That IS superb work, TobiWahn. JMS would be proud.
While we wait patiently, how have all of you felt about the power balance of the pirate ships? It might have been a fluke, but I played a game where the pirate wiped out the Vorlons, Shadows and Centauri before they slowly began to ground my group of six Narn planets to stardust. I've never encountered that before...such aggressive, relentless and remorseless pirates. And all my Narn ships really couldn't hold them off for long. I would have thought that the Narn ships were more powerful than this? Is this intentional? I mean, are the Narn ships supposed to look formidable, but lack in real staying power? That's my guess, but...
@Radu1If possible, a small update will be put online this weekend.@Gregory HadleyNothing done on the pirates yet. Though if I get to it, they won't be any danger for a developed empire at all. I don't intend to live with the pirate bug Ironclad introduced, they will be a nuisance, not a threat. But first I will try to get Fileosofts ( Thoumsins ) Vorlon ships ingame, then get into codeing again. So as of now I would recommend to play without pirates till I got around to refine them and make them the raiders.
I would hold off for a bit on fixing pirates. This from the Pirate Dilemma thread
supposed to be mid-late November
Well it's not the level you or SteinerX will do, but i think it's on moderate level.
the file you can download on DMG forum, in my threat.
Wonderful Koobalt!!!!! Thanks alot. That's pretty good work you are doing there. Another ship I need to make an AO texture overlay for.
Jiiihhaaa!
When i have some more free time, i will try to texture another narn ship.
