1.8GB? That is quite big. What is included over just the main final release of the game?

I bet those videos take up a big chunk of the download. I will still download it though.

[Buleste]

I think the videos are usually 40 - 70 MB each so they're not too bad.

The main benefit of D/ling this is to have a hard copy and everything all together in one place.

Very true. Normally with these packages you end up with loads of stuff all over the place.

Hello!

A little info for you guys. Because of conflict between our OSS team and TBP last leader, some time ago our team had to stop works on Babylon 5: Reconversion and Babylon 4: Minbari Project - unfortunatelly, nobody from current TBP team did not listen to our point of view about those conflict. However, things are not so bad:

First. Both of this storylines will be presented and continued in our newest Babylon 5: The Geometry of Shadows (B5:TGoS) project. This one is based on FS2OpenOSE engine and has no ANY TBP resources - all new!

Second. B5:TGoS is interim project before release of our newest game engine, which is not based on FS2Open.

Third. A group of Minbari Project fans has created the OSS Initiative Group rescently. Those guys are going to support our last projects - B4:MP and B5:Reconversion, the group is independent from our team. Their forums are here: http://ossgroup.prophpbb.com/

Summary. OpenSpace Softworks is not support B4:MP and B5:Reconversion but works on the new project - B5:TGoS. If anyone is interested in our old projects visit OSS Initiative Group forums.

I'll keep you informed about further events.

Thanks for the heads up Asprin.

Thanks for the update Asprin. That looks really nice from the screenshots. I will definitely have to try it out when I get time.

Here are a couple of the screenshots to wet everyone's appetite.
