STvsSWII Questions

[SilverHammer]

I was involved in the A2 modding scene several years ago, and I've recently felt like trying it again. Is the demo for ST vs SW II the only version available? I have a distinct memory of them releasing a beta update back when they announced that the project was cancelled. I believe they only released it on a modding forum, not their main site. I remember playing that quite a bit, and it had mostly complete Federation, Klingon, Rebellion, and Empire sides, and playable but quite incomplete Romulans. The Romalans had at least a Valdore and Scimitar, but I don't remember what else. As I recall, the Yuuzhan Vong were also selectable but had no actual content yet.

I feel like I must be crazy, because this beta seems to be completely erased from the internet. I can't even find a mention of it anywhere, let alone a download. Is there anyone who remembers what I'm talking about? Is that beta still floating around anywhere? Or is my memory completely mistaken?

On a related note, does anyone know of a way to contact anyone from the Project 90 team?

Silverhammer. This might be an old topic but if you do read this then this might be the link you need (I'm not sure if this was uploaded to AFC):

As for contacting the original team. I highly doubt you'll get hold of any of them.

Thank you for the information. I love SWFC too. Unfortunately there's no Star Trek races in that, it's Star Wars only.

Sad that the team is no longer around. They did some amazing work.

Hmmm.... Perhaps that gives me an idea.

Well that is an interesting tease. Would you consider discussing your idea? I've actually modded SWFC and the ST vs SW 2 quite a bit privately, and I'm definitely curious about anything related to those.

I realize this probably won't make any difference, but I finally found evidence that the Romulan Beta was real. It seems it was officially released on the Project90 website, on August 31st 2004. Here's an archive of the news page on the Wayback Machine:

In what will be our final post on this website, we'd like to announce the release of all the work we had done up to where we cancelled the project. Most of this beta cocentrates on the Romulans, but there are changes to the other 2 ST sides as well. There will be bugs or missing textures, but this cannot be helped, it is a beta, but you should nonetheless be able to play it with relative stability and enjoyment. You can find the new download in the ST vs SW II Downloads section, called Romulan Beta.

Unfortunately the downloads page wasn't archived after that point, so I couldn't get the actual file name. I keep hoping someone will still have it, but it seems like it might have been totally lost.
