Just to set the record straight, this mod has a cyberpunk inspired theme. In the style of ‘Ghost in the shell’ or Williams Gibson’s Neuromancer series. It is not directly set in any specific fictional universe and as such I am taking artistic licence with the names and functions of units and setting. This is mainly to make game play intuitive, fun and not needlessly cryptic. Until introversion brings out mod support patches we should remember that:

“The core game play is going to remain locked down now, but there is lots of room for expansion of the core idea.” -Chris


For now I am working on a total conversion featuring new unit’s graphics, audio, Maps and GUI style. Due to the new maps, I can assure you that ‘Defcon: Ghost hack's’ game play will be different to Defcon. I intend this to be an ongoing project so when Introversion releases more mod support; you will see more exciting features. Due to this the graphical/Audio total conversion release will remain a Beta until new units, abilities and such are implemented.

Thanks denzil I'll send you the rest of the files before sunday then! Using Zanzers awsome new coastline tool, I've made the coasts and 'International' borders.

The center brain isn't centered between the two brains, it's leaning towards the right one. But beyond that the mod is looking pretty freaking awesome so far. Can't wait to see "GHOSTHACK" servers running. :P

I hadn't noticed, but now its really obvious! The title is the same, Ghosthack is misaligned slightly. I can fix this if you want Avatar? Just attach it to the graphics you send over (might aswell be the whole mod, i have half of it lol)

Or it could be left there as a symbol of the imperfection that is the human brain? :P

No.. no… not a mistake, a social commentary on the state of society via the metaphor of wonky graphics. :roll:

Anyway denzil, here’s a link to all the files so far:
http://www.winterstatic.com/Ghosthack/Ghfiles.zip

Although I think you have most of them already, there is a layered photoshop file of the map in there.
I’ve Pm’d you and Zanzer with the zip file password.
