Jahled

Ok...i've been playing around with THE FEW suggestions on replacing the tactical battlefield starfield and predictably am getting absolutely nowhere. Ok, so we've established the file is in the Tactical.dll folder, 5030 of the 303 group, and our target is a 440 x 438 bitmap. I replaced it with a starfield and boom-yacka..the game crashes! Golly, i'm not surprised, there never seems to be an easy option in anything I set my sites on. Anyway, when I replaced the file, all the wierd letters and numbers were replaced by the starfield image i'm trying to use. Instantly didn't look right. Is the starfield image in some kind of language? Help!

It was the Imperial Fourth fleet, with Commander Jahled himself in the hot seat! And to answer your question, it's big! Top of my head: Twelve ISD II Two ISD I Eight Corellion Gunboats Five Lancers Twelve CC-9600 Frigates An Indicator A super Star Destroyer A soveriegn Star Destroyer Ten Victory Star Destroyers eh....so I think we may have hit this one on the head. I'll be more gentle with the rebels from now on....NOT!

I think we should just continue to speak in good old fashioned English with the occasional emoticon for effect. It would be absolutely dreadful if I finnished a post lol to Untimely for example, only for him to read that as 'lots of love!'

...he he he...I know what to do...he he he

...surf's up, dude!

I spotted JediGreg today, but he was gone before I type fast enough: 'yo...du..'

Ok, just a few issues: Has anyone tried to play about with the mystrious 303 4044 & 4049 Milenium Falcon folders? I gave a brief shot, with my evan briefer capacity for intelligence, tonight as I burnt our supper....went into the folders and copied what I found. I pasted this into all the files for the A-Wing, just to see if a Milenilium Falcon ship-image would replace the A-wing. Of course it didn't. Has anyone manged to view what the heck 4044 & 4049 actually are? Given we can manipulate the corosponding Death Star file, we must be able to view what the heck 4044 & 4049 actually are, and do something with the file! Yo! Mask! Dude....look into this, please, you shall!

I'm waiting for the sad soul who's actually going to post this...

NO!!! I'm the ONLY ONE!!! (Master Lee is going to KILL me for this!) ..say, where did you hijack that Defender from?[/i]

AT LAST...The Rebellion Strikes Back...!!!! Our story unfolds on golden beach, Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro. The Imperial Emperor, seeking seclusion from the termoils of galactic civil war, has found respite on the famous golden sands of Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The menacing, robed-presance of absolute evil lies beneath a beach-umbrella meditating on the fathomless mysteries of the Dark-Side of the Force, whilst one beedy-eye remains ever vigilant on the young, semi-naked female beauty's dancing past him... 'Captain!' The Emperor scowled, 'Tell me how our latest initiative against the rebel vermin progresses!' He commanded, as if some sound forged in the anvil of darkness primordial. The resonance of the Emperor's words seemed to cause a sudden shadow over the lush lull of the beach, the infinitude of the breaking waves momentarily seeming to gnaw at the shore with melignant ill-will... A beach-ball landed near by the hapless Imperial Officer; he lurched nervously from the Imperial sand-citadel his dark-master had ordered him to construct near the twitching toes of his dark-majesty, and saluted unaware he still held his sand'spade. '...err...very well, my lord! Our Imperial Commanders are reporting overwelming successes against the rebel-scum. Jahled reports the destruction of an entire rebel fleet over Danuta without a single casualty. Elvismiggell reports a similar victory at Sluis Van, with half his personnel on shore-leave! The_Mask suspects he may have located the hidden rebel base in the Sluis-sector, and has sent out Imperial assault shuttles to drop imperial-daisies on the misguided populations.' 'Excellent!' Rasped the Emperor. 'And what news from Lord Vader?' 'Well, following his humiliating arrival on the ISD Snowdrop, where the cream of the Imperial fleet narrowly escaped execution at his hands; Vader has assigned himself to important intelligence activity in the Blue Oyster Bars in the star system, San Francisco...' The Emperor slurped on his cocktail; 'Emmm...i've never known Lord Vader to persue an assignment with such conviction....' Nearby a palm tree wilted and died, dead leaves landing suddenly and rudely on startled sun-bathers. The Emperor chuckled fiendishly; his officer gulped uncertainly. 'I like this world! Remind me to commission it as a chemical research facility!' Suddenly the Emperor shot forward. His eyes glowed. An expression of anger engraved itself on his face. He gasped, startled; 'I sense...the presance of the force!' He shuffled, 'Eh?' ...damn right you do! Luke Skywalker thought, his face lashed by ocean spray, his face the very picture of determination. Beside him, Han Solo readied his blaster as he skillfully balanced himself on his surf board. 'None of this daisy crap is going to keep me me from our date with the Dark-Side,' he roared, 'let's nail this guy once and for all!' Luke couldn't help but perform a dramatic flip as he neared the beach. Lando spun into a wave and disappeared. Leia won applause from the Ipanema-beach crowd as she led her squad in by performing a 'thrice-loop, tripple-roll, surf-'clutch' maneuver, with most of her squad remaining on their boards. Elsewhere, the Emperor turned to his Captain; Emperor rasps... 'Why have you aborted my holiday?'

Dude, tears swelled up in my eyes when I was rumbled by the guys at PixelMasher (now one our members)...I had no idea 'leaching' the image from their web-site was in anyway doing something wrong, but apparently the hyperlink creates problems for them every time some here views one of my posts...or something along those lines. That's still stuff I remain blissfully clueless about! I'm not going to knock them though, behind the scenes they're actually helping me with a little project....(and undoubtably realizing what a completely stupid and computer-witless fool I am)...which you don't expect or come across to much in these souless and money-motivated times. So, praise where it's due- if you haven't already been to their little site; here's the link: http://www.pixelmasher.com The web is a better place for guys like this.

Eeek!.....gosh, the same shit's happening with the Sovereign-Model! Firepower about 600 on forward guns, 400 on the sides; (sorry, never served at sea)!

..ok...i'm getting mad as well...perhaps someone's avatar is comming from a non-public site...the guys at Pixel Masher dropped by to ask me, in the kindest possible way, to stop leaching their space hopper gif, they also gave me an highly dettailed tutorial on how to set up an msn passport newsgroup to host the space hopper image from there. Apparently, the hosting site has to be public, or something like that, otherwise everyone will get annoying little pop-ups. As you may have gathered, I haven't quite the hang of the url-link! I'm also getting quite good at speaking absolute gibberish....

...as far as I can remember sat here at work...when the battle is under way with the Imperial fleet closing in to smash the rebel ships. So your theory about trying to avoid other ships may be right, simply due to the sheer size of the model, it starts performing sudden half turns as the Imperial fleet rounds on the enemy ships...emm... I guess I could use the Sovereign model instead if you reckon it's more stable...

Cool! If you can remember where you got them from you could post the url link. The office i'm in is kind of boring at the moment, I think everybody will thank me if I install Star Wars themed desktop on everyone's computers...

...Dude...might be something to do the 'worm' virus that took out web-servers over the weekendl; SQL slammer attack. (Sounds like a TIE fighter prototype)

...this...is...getting...extremely..surreal....

ho[/i]

http://kickme.to/woodshorol/ if i've typed that wrong, check out the dude's profile...

....My cat, Zoot, is fluent in at least six-million forms of bullshit. We begun our relationship with him hopping onto my bed as an innocent-kitten and rudely awakening me every morning by pissing on my bed. Aghaaaa! That is how our relationship has progressed, 'chasing my cat around the house!'

...well thank you...mr ricepr2001....lol[/ii] ..god damn-it i'm cheap!

..emm..no...any probs downloading from this site might be something to do with the virus I just read about in the Observer, in the mean time I think you should be able to download any model you want by going to the_masks' private web-site...

...excellent post! I still can't help but picture JEJ in Conan every time I here his voice...

yeah...really wierd! My Eclipse-class Star Destroyer model likes to dance during tactical battles. I've got sensible ship-values which include a maneuverability of 1, but during the tactical battle it seems to over-excite itself and start rotating. Anyone else had a similar experiance?

..yeah..the Emperor going to Rio de Janeiro to chill-out for a while...
