The Shrieking Eagles Missions

Description


Shrieking Eagles Level Pack
Originally released in 2004 by ssuser, now revamped and ported to Battlezone 98 Redux!

All levels have been enhanced with cubemap skies, Lua scripting, high-resolution custom models where applicable, added details to the missions, and more!




Credits

All credit to ssuser and the original mission creators.
Special thanks to ScrapPool for title fonts.




Mission Listing

  • Bad Moon Rising
  • Raving Mad
  • Hard Case
  • Hell's Fire
  • Bomb Run
  • Break Out
  • Red Fury
  • On the Night Side

Note: These are very challenging missions. In the spirit of the originals, they remain tough in Redux.
They should be beatable, but even experienced players may find them demanding.
If you encounter glaring balance issues, please report them.




Features

  • Enhanced AI by ScrapPool, as seen in his Omega Squadron Instant Action Pack
  • Weather effects on some planets and high-resolution sky textures
  • Added surprises, mission events, or attacks to keep gameplay engaging
  • Brand new Black Dog and NSDF Furies
  • VO lines for mission events where appropriate




Preserving the Original Spirit

I aimed to retain the feel of the original missions.
For example:
- Hard Case now has properly cloaking CCA units instead of the inconsistent VIR/RED weapons.
- Bad Moon retains its iconic "purple eclipse" look from version 1.4.



End of Development Notice
Development for this mod is complete.
I do not plan to release further updates or new features.
I may provide critical bug fixes if major issues are reported, but otherwise, this mod should be considered in its final version.
Thank you for understanding — and for all your incredible support over the years!

@GrizzlyOne95 - I tried restarting the mission several times, still doing the same thing, the dialog will start, and I can fire weapons and move around, but the screen is just frozen. I will join discord and hopefully get this sorted. Thanks!

@themachine3363, I did a test on my end loading it via the game menu but can't reproduce the problem. If you try Escape then Restart Mission does that do anything? If that still doesn't work, feel free to join our discord linked above and I can take a closer look and perhaps check your log files.

@GrizzlyOne95 - Hey again! Having issues with 2nd mission. Will load level and can hear level playing in background, but it is stuck on the loading screen. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks! Everything is ported, missions all run. There could be some bugs as always but I've played nearly all of it so far

Outstanding like always. You need to work further or the porting is completed ?
