The ultimate marriage COD4+Star Wars=Heaven

All from Moddb...very cool!



Welcome to Star Wars Mod: Galactic Warfare, a modification for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.


All began with a blaster-model, and soon the idea to extend this theme as a non commercial fan project was born. In the meantime, our project is taking shape and we have found a couple of new comrades in addition to the team already involved in the development of Apesgorod. So far, the core team consists of Mapicted, Xfckup, OLD MAN WITH GUN, Xiao, Rollercoaster, T.R. Graves, Sizzer, Vernichter, Gama, Matroskin, Novemberdobby and ZeroY.

It's our goal to unite our favourite game CoD4:MW with the classic universe of Star Wars, as the best trilogy ever. With this total conversion we will combine lot of the known battlegrounds, characters and weapons of Star Wars with the fantastic gameplay of the COD4-Multiplayer. Either as a trooper of the Imperial Forces or as a soldier from the Rebel Alliance you will fight on some different locations.

On the following pages we would like to give you a little insight into our work and its progress. If you like to get more information about us, you are always
welcomed at www.blackmonkeys.de

You can do it on the table, the hood of a car..even on the ceiling!!


Alright get your mind out of the gutter and into the future! In this case the future is a few months away, and it looks VERY cool. DISPLAX™
Multitouch Technology turns any non-conductive material into an interactive multitouch surface. Based on projected capacitive technology, DISPLAX™ Multitouch Technology has been developed on a transparent thinner-than-paper polymer film which can be applied to a variety of flat and curved surfaces including glass, plastic and wood. Imagine interactive wallpaper, surfing the web or checking recipes on your counter top..the possibilities are endless. The technology works by a grid of nanowires placed throughout the film recognizing touch screen interactivity. These input signals are then passed to a microprocessor controller that analyzes the data and determines the exact location where the contact took place.


The hypersensitive lightweight “skin” features air movement detection as well as touch sensitivity, so will, for what is thought to be the first time, react to a user blowing on it, registering both the intensity and direction of the air flow.
