hmm... I wonder. *Digs through his collection of cds for the Game Programming kit.* I wonder if C++ will work for this. You can open most everything with it.

Which hex editor would you recommend? I'm really interested in modding some stuff right off the bat.

I'm getting 6+ Hours right now, but that could easily go up...

5 Hours and rising... lord they need more servers for this! LEC didn't plan very well AGAIN!

I'm checking Lucasfiles and... WTF! I can't get on the site... I guess that means they have the demo and there's to high of a demand. LOL

Colonel Lara Malus sat in her quarters quietly thinking. In front of her the datapad from the intelligence division hovered, its golden letters flickering in the dim light. With a sigh she reached out and let go of the pad with the force catching it deftly in one hand. To even suspect that a loyal servant of the Empire had been turned troubled her. She's known Pelleaon hadn't she? Pelleaon, the name itself was one that could tear a deep gash in her emotions, a cut made by the his death. He'd been a dear and kind man, one who recognized her abilities for what they were. If that hadn't been enough he'd taken her in, adopted her as her own daughter and quietly funneled jedi training knowledge to her. As such she was a self taught jedi, and had become Pelleaon's security advisor. She remembered the Solo's visit and been surprised to find that her master had exceeded Leias during the war years. Still, few knew of her abilities and none knew of their full extent. Only she knew and it was knowledge that could only endanger herself if let out into the public eye. * * * Admiral Oreton leaned over the tactical display in his palace, the loss of Garos IV was a crippling blow, one that wouldn't be easily remedied. Now he had to prepare for a possible invasion of the Rapora. Slowly he glanced at the maps, "Reinforce the garrisons along the Hydian Way and deploy the 3rd and 5th fleets to cover the route." Slowly his hand stopped over a relatively unknown world, "I want the 4th fleet deployed here..." Slowly he glanced up at the surprised look of his advisors, "Tell them that under no condition are they to allow the residents of that world to fall under Raporan domination."

On Ossus the Jedi collected themselves and tried to sort out the calamity which had befallen them. Three Jedi had died at Ord Mantell, one of them a member of the Council. To those that survived it was a stunning revelation of just how dangerous their foes were. Kyp Durron had been thought to be the strongest jedi of the order and he'd been killed by Raporan warriors, common footsoldiers of their enemy. In the halls of the Temple the Jedi quietly talked about what they could do, how they could fight this new foe. Without Luke's presence the Jedi felt lost and confused, even so it was clear to even the most restrained Jedi that the Rapora would only answer to force. Kyle Katarn stepped past a number of the apprentices, many of whom had been his students followed by his wife Jan. Her face was lined with worry just as his had become lined by age and conflict, "Kyle, this isn't our sort of war. We're not fleet commanders or ground pounders..." "I know, but we can't just sit around and do nothing," Kyle shook his head, "We might not do much good fighting along Ioor or Evahe, but they're not the only fronts in this struggle." "Where then? The Mandalorians, I'm not sure they'd appreciate having you along." Kyle smiled, Jan was wrong on that count. His defeat of Fett years earlier had made him an object of respect to the Mandalorians. He stopped and turned to her, "No, I wouldn't be doing much more good there compared to fighting alongside Ioor or Evahe." Jan folded her arms over her chest, "Well Kyle what about helping instruct the students here at the academy?" "I've taught them as much as I can already, I never was the greatest teacjer anyway." Kyle shook his head, "The Council is paralyzed without Luke and with Kyp dead..." He shook his head, "I never was enough of a team player to listen to the council anyway." "So what then?" Jan arched her eyebrow, "Where are we going?" "Admiral Hirotek's command in the unknown regions." Kyle shrugged, "The Council even sent a message telling him we're coming." "Great, we get to go as far from civilization as possible... What about our son?" Kyle actually winced, "I'm not taking him into a combat zone, I don't much like how Luke and Mara drag Ben everywhere and I'd rather not do the same thing to my own son." "Alright, we'll drop him off with Jaden." Jan sighed as she headed for the hanger, "Why do I feel I'm going to regret this?" * * * Commander Clawdar knelt in the brush beside the ship and sniffed the air, his helmet off and tucked under one arm. The air smelled sweet and extruded a thousand different odors, each one distinct and new. Still it was an enemy world, one that would undoubtably turn upon him if it knew of his presence. With one final breath of the fresh air Clawdar lifted his helmet and fastened it over his head, with a hiss of air the helmet sealed himself inside his own world. He turned behind him to the other three warriors, "Ready?" "Yes sir," The three of them answered as they slung pulse carbines over their shoulders. "Good," Krask turned to the command droid for the ship, "Guard the ship well, the code for emergency retreval is Bloody Claw." "Roger sir," The Droid answered, its form and vocal patterns a copy of the Rapora which built it, "May the force guide you Commander."

As Admiral Hirotek stepped into the planning room General Drask turned in his seat, a slight almost whistful smile slidding across his lips, "Sir, we've got a transmission from Ossus, it seems we're about to get some help." Melina Thompson stirred in the corner of the room, "About time..."

Darth Avarice looked at the map fo the sector laid out before her. The Raporan forces in the sector had been heavily engaged but still here first objective had been secured, Garos IV had fallen with little struggle. Now her efforts would be redirected, to three new objects. 1: Cutting the Hydian Way by taking the worlds of Bandomeer and Torpawa from the Empire. 2: Securing the possible force sensitive recruits for incorporation into the sith forces by taking Dathomir. 3: The isolation and destruction of the 4th GFFA Fleet commanded by Ioor. She hoped that the securing of the Hydian Way and limited actionst agains the Empire would further her master's plans for the region. Smiling she keyed her holocomm and began to issue orders to her fleet, unknown to her someone else was listening...

Lets see... Lets make it so only really important people on the site can be a major character. People like Evaders, EvilleJedi, Cain, Trejivanat, Scathene, JI, and maybe even ElvisMiggel.

Lets make this a joint venture, I've got time to burn until EAW is released and I start my next major modding campaign.

No, I've got a better idea for the Rebel Leadership. Mon Mothma=ZOOT!!!

Um... I didn't even think fo that Bajoran when I wrote her up... I was more thinking along the lines of Star Wars names. Just think: Lara Nostil Mara Jade Kara Nessis It seems to think from my point of view.

750 Megabytes... Holy $hit!!! Thats huge for a demo. Enormous! Around a 1/3rd the size of the actual game.

^^^ That was me, I forgot to log in...

Well, have you guys found the soruces of this bug? Failed sending email :: PHP :: DEBUG MODE Line : 234 File : emailer.php

Testing... Did you guys get some sort of install message earlier, about ten minutes ago.

I Second this motion! All in favor say Aye!

JI once again displays his superior Technical Skills.

Moved...

Well I voted for other... Field Marshall Heinz Guderian. The man that made Blitzkrieg into an artform and was commander of the Western Front after Rommel committed suicide.

I'm worried about it because in Battlefront 1 and 2 Yavin IV was represented as an Evergreen forest. LEC probably gave the people at Petroglyph the same instructions, hence forest world.

Well I was looking through the stuff at EAW's official site and suddenly realized... Yavin IV is misrepresented (Sullust I'm not sure about) Normally this wouldn't bother me that much but now that I'm thinking about it, NO ONE EVER REPRESENTS YAVIN IV CORRECTLY EVER! Yavin IV is a Jungle... a Tropical Jungle, not a Temperate Planet with Evergreens, just watch ANH and you'll agree, jungle not Temperate forests. Why can't they ever get this right?
