Um I'm more troubled of the fact, that he meantioned a male Twi'lek

We're doomed

I think that Stackpole simply meant, that the Tie pilots wouldn't get that old. I mean everytime I play XWA they are slaughtered by the dozens, because of their lack in shields. I think that Palpy will get rid of the clones somehow in EP3. Maybe some will "mysteriously" become mad and then he can blame the Jedi for ordering their creation in the first place. Just a theory for EP3, mind you. IIRC C'Baoth was killed, when the outbound flight project was intercepted by Thrawn and Joruus was spawned from samples taken earlier. If both were alive at the same time, that strange buzz-effect that Luke encountered with his fight against Luuke could've happened. Well, everyone is connected to the force, although those not sensitive to it are just unaware of how to use it. Or they got a too low midi-chlorian count

Wasn't that the Naval trooper (stormy uniform) seen briefly in Dark Empire 1 and Rogue Squadron 1 (the game) ? Or could it look like the Swamp trooper from JK2 ?

XP SP1, The Bat, IE 6.0 SP1, Netscape 7.02, Opera 7.x, ... even happens, when I'm logged in It also didn't work, when I still had 2k on my pc.

Faith you must have, a model will be made

Yup, maybe I'll publish the Chiss skin I modified. I also tried to bring the Exar Kun saber handle into the game, but something didn't work yet Well, after completing it on both sides, I can only say that I won't use the two sabers again, the double saber is all I need

Actually this split-personality business is an issue for more users. I mean, sometimes I think I'm actually smoking a pipe

Aww right, he's a freshman now Try and cure the flu with enough alcoholic medicine, that'll keep the bacterias from your throat But watch the amount, I once thought I had a nice conversation with a lady at one party, when she told me the next day, that I just stood there grinning at her.

Feline Agent No.0815 felt betrayed. As countless of his clone-breathren he was also sent out to capture the members of swr.com, or to sabotage their internet connection. But he just knew he was on a blue-milk run. This could hardly be possible, either the intelligence reports were faulty, or ... yes ! Yes, that was it ! He was still being punished for the little entertainment he had sought, when his master Zoot had held his briefing. Sure, the food in southern Germany smelled good where he passed open windows here and there, but as he closed in on his target location he simply knew that he would not find anyone on his list there. This was more like the industrial outskirts of this city, although close to the woods. He could see that the concrete would soon take over the last remnants of the meadows, that was just a question of when, not if. As he was walking around the suspected house he noticed his increasing hunger. The neighbouring houses roof sported several bird nests, but they all seemed empty. On the outside, behind the fence he could see other cats, maybe he could talk them later into sharing a little of their food with him, although he doubted it. Normal cats were not like that, even he wasn't, he added amused to this thought. Finally he made his way into the house, the stairs lead to two apartments. After searching the first one without conclusion he was fuming, just one little joke and it had brought him here, without food and likely without a chance of finding his objectives either. Inside the second apartment several doors loomed before him, the style was hardly surprising, since the other apartment was built almost the same way. Opening the second-last door he entered a room with a row of StarWars posters on one wall. Episode II was missing, was that so hard to get in Germany ? On the bed lay a wooden mask, vaguely reminding him of some part of his briefing, but he dismissed the thought as quickly as it had come. What would this nordic-looking wooden mask have to do with anything ? A little farther into the room was another mask, one he knew to appear in the Scream movies. It was pulled over a head of glass and held several DVDs in place. On the other side of the room a laptop and a pc were set up, along with some cables connecting the two and several other parts of equipment. And in the middle of the room ... he gulped. In the middle of the room was a medium-sized birdcage holding a tasty looking yellow-green budgie who was tootling and rocking back and forth on his swing. At least not everything was in vain, he thought as he closed in on the cage. His assignment was completely forgotten by the second step he made into the room. Suddenly the bird halted the swing in midair and started turning around, which the cat could only counter by hiding behind the table holding the laptop. The bird in a typical high-pitched voice muttered to himself, as he didn't see anyone in the room, "I tawt I taw a puttycat.". Hopping off his swing and onto the ground of his cage, he started picking up some leftover corns. The cat also continued his advance. Then, as silent as he could muster, he reached his paw into the cage to get his well deserved snack. His dreams of the tasty bird on his tongue were rudely interrupted by a loud snap. Redrawing his paw he looked in disbelief at the mousetrap that had closd on his quickly swelling digits. He couldn't help but letting out a loud YEEEOOOOW. The bird lifted its head inside the cage and hopped amazed by the sight on the ground. "I did, I did. I taw a puttycat !". After this he took his time for a short flight to the edge of the open window and looked what this newcomer was doing at the moment. The feline now free of the trap and filled with rage stomped in the direction of the curious and innocent looking bird. Two steps after the cage he felt that the wooden floor tile he had stepped on was somehow different from the others. The spring attached to it launched him half a second later into the air through the open window. In a attempt that was equally feline grace and pure desperation the agent managed to turn around and grab the lower edge of the window, thankful that he would not land on the concrete below. Inside, the bird had come down and was shaking a bit. "Brrrr, it's gettin' awfully cold" he said and slammed the window shut. As the window closed on his digits the cat's eyes widened as much as they could and he could barely contain the scream that wanted to break free of his throat. The window was shoved close several times and between the smacks he could hear the bird wondering "Now why ... wont ... this ... thing ... stay ... closed ?". The bird heard someone moaning and wincing everytime he gave the window another shove. Finally giving up he went to inspect what could prevent the window from staying the way he wanted. When he saw the reason he gave out a loud "Oooooo". Landing directly in front of the swollen and reddened paws of the cat he started lifting the claws from their grip, one after another. "This little piggy went to market, ..." he started, while he could hear the cat yelling "No, no, nooo". "This little piggy had roast- beaf" he went on, just as he heard a long "Mwaaaaa". Then he saw that he was done. "Well waddaya know, I ran outa piggies." he said mournfully and flew back inside his cage. Sitting on the floor again, he took up a pen and made another mark in a long line of previous ones. "You know, I get rid of moooore puttycats that way" he said with a slight snicker and went back onto his swing. Back in Zoots lair, the evil lord himself saw an entry on his list of active agents flicker from green to red. He called up the entry and frowned, the readings were inconclusive. The agent now seemed to represent a blob now rather than a cat. Shrugging it of, he set the entry to "run over by car" and continued with his work.

Maybe he's got the flue from the freshly arrived cold weather at the moment, or something like that

Hey thanks, after all these years with just the picture of its claw I finally have a better grasp of what it looked like. The skeleton definately reminds me of Velociraptor, it has even the same "toenail" But as I read back then, the claws were big enough to lift a VW-Golf without problems, hence the name.

Elvis reads the latest reply, where everyone agrees to move to the surreal sightings, when he suddenly hears a clanking noise behind him. Turning around he sees a fully armored knight, who instead of a mace is weilding a bare chicken. In horror Elvis leaves the room shouting loud "Stay away from meee !" Sorry dude

Learn you must, better you will be And this is not the last TC, that'll be made

If it helps you a bit, I've heard of the series, but I've never seen it, although my Tv repertoire goes as far back as Mr. Ed But I just couldn't let the opportunity pass to compare it to the Who Later that day Zoot still watched Jahled sitting on the tree, wobbling every now and then, as the vertigo attacks came back, but still this stubborn human would not come down. Finally giving up his window position, he went into the kitchen sighing 'Ohh Willbur'

Well that sure beats the Snickers cab I saw there in '96. But don't tell me that John Cleese was sitting behind the desk, saying every now and then: and now for something completely different

But it looks more threatening, if they come closer at this pace. Remember they are also said to have been quite intelligent. Btw, Dino: with you being our expert here, there's something I just rembered, that I read a long time ago. A Dinosaur claw was once found and they called the species Deinonychus. Is there a picture, of how the creature could've looked ?

Dino, I think they are talking about an archaic Rock-band called the Who. I still need to conduct further studies about that subject, though

Yeah, the usual stuff is like sorting the strands of fate (nordic mytholgy) while someone hits you with a book containing mathematic formulas. The explanation, why we have to write the exams at the end of our semester break is also odd at best. Our line of education was first introduced to the uni as part of the electrotechnicians, but developed into a regular one. The electronics chief prof. used to have his students write part of the exams right after the semester and the rest at the end of the semester break. Actually nobody knows, why they still keep it up

Ah, another scholar of Jah Welcome to the site

Slade ... that rings a bell, but I just can't put my finger on it. Were you editing other games as well ? You can also look into the EDATA files are bitmaps thread and into those, where I explained about the movie sequences (smk format). Then I would also recommend vakundok's excellent 'Mechanics - inside ... ' thread. Did I miss anything ?

And she and our Twi'lek medical dancers are very good at that

Hi, in case you were wondering where the "big" encyclopedia pics are in the game files, they are stored in that Edata folder. The pictures are bmps, they are all 400x200 pixels big and have the same palette as the RebEd cards. Here's a list that tells you about where the different areas start and end. Facilities : 1 - 8 Planetary defense : 9 - 14 Troops : 15 - 24 SpecForces : 25 - 32 "Lengendary Bounty Hunters" : 33 Fighters : 34 - 41 Capital ships : 42 - 71 Major chars Alliance : 72 - 75 Major chars Empire : 76 - 77 Minor chars Alliance : 78 - 103 Minor chars Empire : 104 - 131 Alliance fleet : 132 Imperial fleet : 133 Mission types : 134 - 164 Planets : 166 - 191 Luke Jedi : 192

Oops, the sentence might've been formulated wrong. I meant, that we've already discovered that much of the game, so finding this portion should only be a matter of time. Better ?

Right, they are just additional pics with bluescreens that are used as a layer over the pic of the ship. That's done by the game, so you "just" would need the location of these. They are also in the GOKRES.dll, below the hyperspace drive flares. I don't know the order, but I suspect the same as in the capships.dat file.
