Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2008 4:05 am Post subject: [REL/WIP] SC:TA MapPack -- 14 Maps (All Released) |
|
As a complimentary project to Supreme Commander: Total Annihilation (SC:TA), I have been working on converting some maps from Total Annihilation to Supreme Commander, similar to the Map Pack released by The Core Commander and several maps released by others, including The Arm Commander, Stix and Johanaz. These maps all use the original heightmaps from Total Annihilation (although some very minor alterations have been made to some maps where problems occured), and also use custom textures.
These can be used with or without the SC:TA mod installed, although additional features will be available when using the mod (More details below)
Note that these maps are for Vanilla Supreme Commander, but appear to work in Forged Alliance as well.
