<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Sure. Create a game with one player, yourself. Create savegame and upload. Execute a turn (no need to play it). Download turn 2, see if it runs in your Version of the mod or not. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Alternatively, make a request on the Admin Requests section of the PBW forums, asking what Version of the mod is installed.

OK I got an 'Invalid Data Files' error, so I guess it must be a an older Version.

Just posted on pbw admin requests forums.

As I had no answer in PBW Admin Requests forums, I'm emailing Geoschmo.

Thanks Georgig and Geoschmo.
The mod has been installed on PBW.

Can any of you start the game on PBW now, I'm too lazy and working on other shipset and I'd prefer not to be the game owner.

OK, I see Andres has already joined, that makes 2. We need a few more players and then we can get started. We need at least 4 but 5 or 6 would be better.

Hello!

Well this certainly seems like quite the work in progress, however, there is sooo much potential here! Looks like the game has been totally redesigned, great work! I really do hope that you find the time/energy to continue this mod as it has so much potential!

I do have to add in my thoughts about the motivators, however. It may just be too complex, unless there is way to get more of them doing it than just 1 at a time. Does the AI use them? If they dont i'd just suggest getting rid of them all together. Too bad, really, it is a fantastic idea.

Hmmmm, the more I play the more I think i've changed my mind. In the later game you have so few ships anyhow http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif You start out with great big fleets and slowly but surely trade them in for big monsters, i like that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif So Hyper Drive works great, assuming the AI uses it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I'd love a temp working AI for the races that use SW tech, even if you select SEIV tech along with there techs they still fair very poorly.

This has the the fetchings of a fantastic mod and it plays very well even now. I like the porportions aspect of it, the game doesnt get too big/too slow even in the late game which is refreshing to say the least http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Very good fun...

Please for the love of Star Wars let's get this thing out! I dont mind lending a hand ofc http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I'm quite good at finding bugs/ inconsistenies etc. if that is needed. I wish I knew something about AI design tho http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I've also made custom EMP files (5k) for all the races and I've started on a SW systems map as well.

Anywho, those are my thoughts http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Blackrose, the SWII mod's been out for quite awhile. I've been playing it off and on for months. As a matter of fact, I played a few turns Last night, just to make sure that the 1.91 patch didn't mess up my save game. I had no problems. Can't wait for the latest update, or patch, though. It's a great mod, almost as good as Atrocities' Star Trek Mod.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Exactly http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Part of the reason why I never downloaded it in the past (I proffess a love for Vintage Star Wars that surpasses Trek) is because I knew it was in a state of flux. I read a few things over the past week that made me give it a go and it is, as you say, quite great http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

But I daresay that it isnt quite done yet either ? Still it is quite playable as long as you control the major races as the AI files for the Rebel Alliance dont seem to work (they dont expand) and even adding SEIV tech to the other Empires (exluding THE Empire) produces a severely stunted AI that performs similiar to a neatral Empire.

Still very fun, just a tad bit of polish and perhaps some techs for the other empires.
