Thanks, got the data files. :)

Re: Star Wars
 

You will need to send me your new planet images and mast planet_Bmp image. p0419 is missing. I believe it might be a warp point image. Also missing the mini_bmp image for the imperial bridge and several others.

Re: Star Wars

Will try again, but if y're able to come online (MSN) it will be easier !!

Re: Star Wars
 

Sounds like there's still some forward momentum in this Mod. I can't wait to see it, and if you need any help of any kind feel free to drop me a line or two anytime.

Re: Star Wars
 

Yes, I'm still working on it !!!

Send me your e-mail, for an early version of the mod.

gretz Inti,

Re: Star Wars
 

BTW BK. maybe you can help.

I don't know anything of the shipclass and fighter names from the new SW movies. So if you have some info about the Trade federation and the Separatists , please let me know !!

Inti,

Re: Star Wars
 

As soon as the replacement video card comes back I will get that done. Right now I can do nothing. I recommend that you set up the rebels to be that race. The RMA has just been approved so the card will be on its way tomorrow.

Re: Star Wars
 

Okat Take your time,

Greetz

Re: Star Wars
 

Card went out today via UPS so I should have a replacement card within 10 days.

Re: Star Wars
 

Okay, will wait patiently :(

BTW. I just finished the Mon Calamari Race, complete different ships/fighters than the Alliance (have to work on bases later.)

I will not ad the Bothan as an Rebel race (as in my earlier rebelion mod versions). But there will be some Bothan components available.

Greetz

Frans,

Re: Star Wars
 

No worries, I can do that easily enough. Drop me a PM and we can sort out the specifics :cool:

Re: Star Wars
 

i'm still alive but things have been wild with the lawer and such with my dad's death and finding out all the bills that have ta be paid ($6000+ for the funeral home $1000+ for the creamation and like my dad LOVED useing his CC thats like $13000 :doh:

Re: Star Wars
 

In Brazil you are only responsible up to the value of the goods left, so if there are 100.000 in goods and 200.000 in debts the creditors get the goods (100.000) and the heirs don´t have any responsability for the remaining debts...

Re: Star Wars
 

Sad indeed and I don't want to think about such things because I know I am ****ed.

Intimidator, I have most of the Remnant done. Finished up the troop images. I need you to respond to my email. I have all but the small fighter done. Not sure what to use for it. Am waiting on research. Most of the ships are done, just need to work on transports, bases, and three ships plus the fighter.

Re: Star Wars
 

Hi,

I was away for a short while, but am back now and working again on the mod.
Good work again AT.
BK, what do you mean with :' drop me a PM '

Ironmanbc, sad to hear all this...... take care !!??

Greetz

Re: Star Wars
 

Intimidator I need to know that the component numbers that I have reserved are still open. I have to add in about 50 more components or so to the end of the list. - Components 2706 - 2808

The Remnant set is nearly completed. I am going to have to improvise a small fighter though. I know you sent me a list of textures and color pallet requests but I cannot find it. If you could find the list and send it to me again or post the info here I can get that to you within a day or so.

Also if there are any "special" needed images, please let me know and I would be happy to try and make them.

I have a list of about 20 other ships and such that I will be working on as I am up to it. They are various neutral images like Jabba's skiffs, a few pirate ships, other aliens ships including Naboo, and the fighter that General Grievous uses.

Re: Star Wars
 

Those components numbers are still open (2706 - 2808)

I need the color pallets for :

- Rebel (mon calamari) ships
- Imperial large ships

Thanks sofar,

Greetz

Re: Star Wars
 

A made a lot of clone troopers.

Re: Star Wars
 

Great, more than I ever need !!!!

Re: Star Wars
 

Hmmmm......:doh:


I meant a "Private Message", one detailing what all you need and such. The better detailed the more I can get you. I have a ton of resources at hand, and so I don't want to waste your time with stuff you weren't looking for or don't need.

Let me know what exactly you need, and in what order, and it'll be yours :)

Re: Star Wars
 

Private Message, offcourse stupid me !!!!! (lost in translation, sorry)

will do shortly,

Greetz,

Frans,

Re: Star Wars
 

I stop with changing anything on the mod, am just waiting now for the last pictures from AT. after that I will add the rest of the races, and make my last changes.
For now I will just play the game, to see how it works and feels.....

Re: Star Wars
 

I should have the set done any day now. And the textures and stuff to you soon.

Re: Star Wars
 

I just got the textures, thank you !!!!

Re: Star Wars
 

Thanks AT. For the Remnant shipset!!

Inti,

Re: Star Wars
 

I've been busy doing RL stuff and I was thinking how is the mod comming along????

Re: Star Wars
 

I'll admit I'm dying to know that myself....

Re: Star Wars
 

Hi guys,

Don't worry, I'm still alive. But due to the holiday season and some other real life issues my spare time was limited :(

But will be back on track in a few days now....

Greetz

Inti,

Re: Star Wars
 

Good to hear. Soooooo looking forward to seeing this mod come to fruition!:)

Re: Star Wars
 

Yeah, I understand, but I must honnestly say, that I have the feeling that I'm making this mod for only 5 people.
and that's not really motivating me :(

Re: Star Wars
 

That's unfortunate, though I suspect more would like to see that come to completion than the handful who've posted here ;)

Re: Star Wars
 

like me :)

Re: Star Wars
 

It's very likely Black_Knyght is right. I discussed my mod on SE.net and probably had imput from about the same number of people. Since I posted it just before Xmas, 78 copies have been uploaded! So chances are at least that many and probably more will be wanted of a new Star Wars Mod.:up:

Re: Star Wars
 

I will take it up again , I promise

Re: Star Wars
 

You are running into the same problem I ran into. :( I think that people will start playing the game again once they realize that their is no viable alternative. The loss of the PBW site was a catastrophic blow to the remnants of this community. The loss of all that data, games, downloads, members, etc is just to insurmountable to recover from. Yet, if SFI will would release the source code for SE IV, beings how they own the rights, a short lived revival would be had and who knows, perhaps even a complete resuscitation of interest in this game could be sparked with new innovations and such.

Re: Star Wars
 

I thoroughly agree with AT here!!!

Additionally, I think if the mod came out of the "working" stage and was made available, more interest and interaction would occur. That'd certainly spur up some involvement too.

Re: Star Wars
 

A couple of things I would have loved to have seen added to SE IV would have been:

1. The ability to set any component as required to any design.
This would be great for those special one of a kind weapons or components being required for X design only. Much like must have life support, could set, must have component Family: XXX on this design to make it valid.

2. One per empire limit ability for Facilities, and components.
This would be used for Palace and or specialty facilities or components. Say One Emperor, or One Vader.

3. Ability to have specialty facilities for specific planet types. Such as Cloud City facility for Gas Giants.

4. Higher limit on the amount of mounts you could have, say 255 per technology type. (Empire Technology = 255 possible mounts.)

5. The option to give ships the ability to become cargo. (Much like fighters.)

6. True counter Intel options.

7. The ability to set multiple types of damage per weapon. IE, Ion cannon will damage both Engines, Weapons, and Shields. etc

8. FIX the AI so that when you restrict a component it won't use it or exceed the limit for that component type.

9. FIX the problem with the AI not building and keeping the set amount of ships as indicated in such and such file. (Don't recall the file name.)

10 A UI based ship designer that you can use to custom design ships then have it generate a design file for it that can be placed into the Design_txt file. This way you know exactly what will go on the ship because you placed it their and the AI will follow that format.

Re: Star Wars
 

I agree completely!!! Those are all excellent ideas!

Re: Star Wars
 

I will never understand why Aaron didn't take the best of SE IV, improve upon the UI, and go with that for SE V.

I have been cut completely out of the loop for SE VI and given the dismal sales for SE V, I wonder if there will ever be a sixth installment to the game.

I recommended a while back that they should have released SE V under a different name... Space Empires - Evolution or something.

If they do come out with a new game, that'll have to be the road they go down. To call a game Space Empires VI would be an injustice and bad marketing IMHO.

SE V had a lot of great attributes, none of which inspired me to play it. The weakness out paced the benefits thus turning off my interest in playing the game. :( However SE IV still holds my interest albeit at a substantially reduced value these days.

I think, rather hope, that people will turn back toward the game once they realize that nothing new is coming out. PC gaming is on its final legs these days and the industry knows it. So most developers are focusing on console games and downsizing their PC options.

The spirit of innovation has been killed off one independent developer at a time. Gobbled up by the big evil mass marketing companies like EA games and others.

It was only 12 years ago that the spirit of radical innovation was alive and thriving, but now, the fields that were once busting with life life are but a desolate waste land. We are stuck with inferior clones of clone of sequals of great games. Gone are the inspirational "Got to have it" games that drove the industry for years. Even the PC game magazines are dead, or dying. The games of today are so lack luster filled with eye candy but no depth. Easy to play, and quick to bore are the standards of today.

Case in point, EAW, Lucas Arts aging game that could have been a lot more than it ultimately was. I played Empires At War and the expansion version and just couldn't get into them. They lacked depth. They offered nothing but ground hog day play. I grew bored with the game within hours. Same thing with GalCiv 2.

GalCiv 2 was really really boring. My God was that a dull *** game.

I tried Sins of a solar empire and a few other games but found them all to be repetitive and boring.

It is funny now that a simple basic browser game like Cyber nations holds my interest as captivity as SE IV once had. Out of all the games there are, this simple free to play game is the most appealing to me. Go figure.

One more thing I would have loved to have seen done with SE IV would have been:

11. The ability to more than one type of construction facility to the planet. One for ships, one for fighters, and one for troops. And for the AI to use them equally and build them.

12. The ability to set a requirement as to what facilities you want the AI to build and it actually would build them. As it is now, it be broken. The AI builds what the AI is hard coded to build. As it is now, I have to come up with a work around and that is proving to be impossible. (Another reason I burned out.)
