I could draw some characters too. I have finished an Art school, cause I will work as Graphic designer in the future. But I think we could stay by Monicas solution. Don't get me wrong Poodles your pic is sure good. We could also get things together! I think we should use photos, scan them, simplify them in photoshop, and make some artistical changes on the faces.. "changes on the faces" What do you say? What filters did you use Mon?

It's very good job Smonica, but the pic isn't drawn with the color table used by the game. If you will convert it, huge, strange colored pixels will appear in the middle of his face, and so on.. How did the artists get so excellent pix in 256 color, using the same table? Just look at any of the minor characters face. I think, all faces where made from photos, but how?? Why do they look so good in 256 format?

I'm interested!

Is anybody still working on this project? Does anyone know, where Reb stores his palettes?

So you want some protection. huh? You only have to marry into the family of J.igor... Ask him. Possible that he has a sister!

Thank you for the help Evader! I didn't tried PSP yet. Perhaps it converts palettes bether than Photoshop. Speaking of graphic designers, well I am one of them. I finished an Art school this year, so I am very curious.. I will keep trying to draw over some pictures I made. Sure it takes its time, but I just love perfection! (that's why I'm playing always the Empire!) It would be sure easier to have support from the original graphic designers...

Possible, that you're alone with your skills here Vakundok? We need more programmers for this problem! Help Wanted

Yes, the only one still active..

Apologise me Major Tr., but the link didn't work. I can't find access to it. Is the address correct, you posted? http://www.njoe.com? Could be down a while

Wow! Fat Respect! Thanks for the help!!

Sure he must be a good player. I wish I could test his skills Did you speak about our editing site with him? Well actually it would be bether to add things to the game, not replacing them. I'm sure, something like that was running through his mind too.. But this site is not only an editing page, it's the Best fansite of the game too.

You're right. I have no doubt, it works. It's very useful too. But not very interesting. It takes away from the gameplay. Like disasters, bounty hunters, I think randomly fleeing agents making the game more exciting too...

Last question: Is the Vong period the newest/last period in the star wars saga?

Hey, thanks! Sorry for my subnovice question. But I have some difficulties to find SW books here in HUN.

The garrisoned planet is the best way. It's not fair to let our prisoners bounce in space via hyperspeed. Bether to have a small, outer rim planet, with a general, a commander, defense and garrisons. And if an agent still escapes, well be that way!! It's more realistic anyway...

Cool. I never knew what it does. Does the tractor beam aslo have influence on starfighters?

This is sure a great story. But I have some problems with it, cuz I didn't have the chance to read the newer episodes. Can you tell me who Vong is?

About the great battle of the Zone, of course

Guess, the games engine is not designed for such extras... But it would be enough to infect the agents only. Similar to assasination missions. So the person would have a chance to recover, when we send him to a hospital ship/research center...or something like that. I don't know..

Galaxy Gunz!? You don't need that. Here's my favourite capital fighter.. http://www.extra.hu/Laforge/tie.jpg

Ok. So any news? What's the status? Any new rumors? Gimme,gimme,gimme information!!!! I will have cable connection, but only in 3 months. So I can't join your "Dsihad" at the time fellows..

Or we just use comic style drawings. But I think, they don't look so good with this game. Simply using photos is also problematic, cuz the most of my photos looked supaugly in 256 color

I had some problems with the color palettes. I made a card in photoshop. All my pictures worked fine in the game, except the one, wich is displayed at the characters status screen. The bluebox just don't wan't to disappear! The other pix are ok, and all of them used 0,0,255 for the background. The second problem is the games color palette. If you generate a bitmap in photoshop, it will use his own generated pal. except, if you load the pal. used for the original characters. Rebed also converts RGB mode bmps to 256 colored bmps. So here's the question: Will the game always use it's own pal. for my pics? Does the game see my generated pal., or does it simply convert the picture again for it's own pal.? Rebellion uses redrawn photos ripped from the movies. The other characters (Thrawn, Daala) must been done the same way. They perhaps made some pictures from relatives or friends, redrawn it to 256 color... It's possible, that one of the games inventor used his own photo too.. So we just have to make some photos from some characteristic people, and redraw it to bitmaps. Once we know, how to do that, we'll be able to generate cards with similar quality in 265 color.

If anyone has a solution, idea, I have put a topic in the Cards forum. I'm thinking about generating a huge amount of cards for the expanded universe, but I cannot work until these problems won't be solved...

Oh yes. I didn't remember that. Well, it would be interesting to have some alien viruses in the game. Like it was inserted in Imperium Galactica I...
