25th Anniversary Mod for Star Wars Rebellion!

[Lord_La_forge]

This year has been busy for a small team in our community. To celebrate the game's 25th anniversary, a few of us decided to update the game a bit. A huge amount of work went into it, but now it's ready. We present you the 25th Anniversary patch!

Star Wars Rebellion 25th Anniversary Patch Features:

• New Galaxy map using top 200 star wars planets (called systems in game) from 2023 canon mostly positioned as accurately as possible within game engine limits!
• 200 unique system images for in-game and encyclopedia (instead of 26 original sprites)
• 200 new systems encyclopedia entries
• 61 new character sprites (from Rebellion Remastered)
• Option to view skills and abilities of each character on their sprites in-game (see screenshots below)
• high definition 3d models for capital ships (updates are still coming)
• 80 high definition sprites for starfighters
• Game's 1.02 community update
• Dgvoodoo 2.81.1 (2023-07-24) directx libraries

The patch will receive updates in the near future with new stuff coming. Make sure you redownload the editor every now and then.

I had a random itch to play Rebellion again today and thought I'd swing by the old stomping grounds to see what was new. So imagine my excitement to see the announcement on the main page for the patch and mod! 

What fantastic work by everyone involved, it's truly wonderful to see people still putting effort into enhancing a 25-year-old game as a passion project.
