First of all, il must thank you @Hexdragon for your time and knowledge. I worked on the cards for the last days and this is what i came up with. The "noghri" and the "infiltator" are now "scientists/engeneers". It is all part of the mod i'm working on right now. It will begin with only two buildable ships, one troop and the basics building. They can be used to support characters who are able to do research or they can do it by themself but it will be faster with a minor character. I was surprised and pleased to the see that the computer is able to use them. The imperial commando and guerillas becames "Death troopers" and "Alliance special forces" from the Star Wars expanded universe. They both can do assassination, abduction, sabotage, uprising and rescue. They are equally made. I don't want a side stronger thant the other. I'll have more to show soon.

I just wanted to stop by and give kudos to @Metasharp for his excellent work. This editor is the best thing that has happened to this game since RebEd. It now includes the 25th anniversary patch for the game. 200 unique planets, descriptions and an accurate galaxy map update are part of that patch with many more things to come... The patch features my work with 60 new character graphics that I did for my Remastered mod here. Let our team know how you liked the patch! Also please consider joining our Discord channel "Star Wars Rebellion". You can reach out to us there.

If anyone is interested I have a background in 3d modeling and 2d art. I am not the best painter but am very familiar with the Unreal Engine as I have worked in it in the past. I also have a few old College buddies that wouldn't mind contributing some spare time to modeling. What I am not overly familiar with is working in C++. If there is enough people with free time, skills, and interest it would be potentially doable on a modern Engine.

Notes: (0) For the sake of easy reference: Core Systems assigned to side by means of entries 30th (0x1E), 32nd (0x20) and 33td (0x21) are labeled as "Rebel 1" and "Imperial 1" Core Systems assigned to side by means of entries 31st (0x1F), 34th (0x22) and 35th (0x23) are labeled as "Rebel 2" and "Imperial 2" Rim Systems assigned to side by means of entries 30th (0x1E), and 31th (0x1F) are labeled as "Rebel 3" and "Imperial 3" (1) At least one "Imperial 1" system is required, in order to be assigned to Coruscant. However popular support in coruscant starts at 100% Configuring a very low % probability for systems to start as controled by Empire in SDPRTB.DAT at entry 30th (0x1E) (i.e Probability for "Imperial 1" systems) may result in side-lottery giving no "Imperial 1" systems, As a consequence, the game resets popular support on "imperial 2" systems to "imperial 1" levels (while Coruscant gets 100% popular support as usual) (2) Yavin and Alliance Headquarter's system are assigned to alliance by means different than either side-lottery (3) Only "Rebel 2" and "Imperial 2" systems receive default garrisons at the start of the game. Default garrison's size fits system's garrison requirement which depends on popular support ( Threshold hanbdled by GNPRTB.DAT at Entry 207th / 0xCF ) (4) Coruscant, receive a custom garrison.

I am in the process of modeling the Bulwark to a much higher degree of detail than any previous model, along with some artistic interpretation here and there. It's not EC Henry/FractalSponge/Howard Day level, but I think I'm doing a pretty good job. I was wondering if there is anyone in this community who could help me texture it when it's modeled and UVmapped.

I thought this site was dead… I now see my donation worked

Sorry the mod did not work for you. Using DarthTex's way should work for you. I just can't recall having trouble uninstalling, so I can't help you with that. Uninstalling the game is not enough. You have to delete every single Rebellion files in the Program Files (x86) Folder, and then install from CD... No Progress. But it is pretty much as advanced as I would go... I'm updating the link, but it will get removed in another 180 days. 4 shared is not so reliable and I don't know what would be better... here's the link: https://www.4shared.com/archive/PDxTFDOvca/_Rebellion15_Mod_Betav2.html Sure I do. Know any place I can upload that's more stable than my current one?

There's a wiki for that... or a pdf if you prefer. https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02.html#installation_windows http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.16/UserManual.pdf You can mount a windows .iso to a virtual dvd for the installation, no physical disk needed. All explained above.

Ultimately the 2005~2007 era will yield you the most posts. That was when Mad, Tofu and I were at our worst as far as time spent on the forums/spamming went. I wonder if E could pull up some forum posts per day numbers....

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=27843 Yeah, it's been mentioned before and maybe even before that thread but that's the first one that I found. Welcome to poking around in Rebellion. Happy hunting.

Supremacy, as it was marketed in the UK, is curiously the only PC game I couldn't let go of, once I migrated to a Mac Still there on my shelf

What do to when a planet REFUSES to fall to your all-powerful hand: 1) Sab the shields. If that fails, sab the troops THEN get the shields. If you can't take down the shields, it is unlikely you'll be able to capture a general, so try if you want, but don't expect much. 2) When sab fails, run a few espionage missions. You will often find hordes of people you didn't know were there, such as generals, spec ops forces, ect. This gives you a good idea of what you're up against, but doesn't help you take the planet directly. 3) Bombard the planet with a huge fleet. Use Y-Wings, B-Wings, and heavy-duty warships. This will overwhelm the shields, often resulting in heavy troop causalties, with further bombardments taking down the shield generators themselves. 4) If a sufficiently large fleet isn't available, or you're worried about taking losses from laser batteries, and they only have one shield generator you can still assault the planet directly with troops. Get some troopers with high attack ratings, like Wookies, and set a General in orbit with the fleet for best results. 5) If you can't sab them, can bombard them, and can't assault them into submission, there are still options. If you're Imperial, use a Death Star. Since you're not Imperial, you can *try* and do incite uprising missions, but this will almost certainly fail. Your next option, as the Alliance, is to... 6) Leave. You heard me, leave. If possible, do things to other planets in the sector which will impact the offending planet's political alignment in your favor. If not, then do whatever you can to draw them off the planet. If you're blockading the planet, they will never leave, so you should take out troops elsewhere (to make them send troops from the offending planet to others 'in need'). This will make it easier to run sab missions. 7) Your last hope is to destroy the rest of the players economy, making them loose from low maint. points. Or to simply avoid the planet altogether, which is a bad idea. Hope that helps...

You ppls are no fun at all.. attrition is the best! If the Empire looses thier ability to maintian the gencores/troops, they go away by themselves. =o) Just wipe out the Empire's Maint. with sabotage and by (peacfully if you must) convincing the planets to stop being loyal and go neutral or join your own cause..
