Oh dear. Early reviews are lending belief to me that will after all (as some of have long suspected) not be anything like the Rebellion 2 game others have made loud noises about for about a year now. Evaders outlined some initial observations that make me feel it lacks certain elements that have given Rebellion it's 'epic' feel, with the player(s) feeling immersed in a Star Wars environment; and with RebEd having the beauty to tweek this more or less however they want. Rebellion has always a been, and I suspect always will be, an environment mainly appreciated by the imagination. I'm actually of the belief to much distraction from this; with the possible exception of a Homeworld-style tactical battle, would get in the way of imagination. When the game was first announced I sighed with it's fourty worlds, and whilst that's up to eighty, all the emphasis i've seen of the game is combat, and not much of which has impressed me more than other Star Wars titles more geared to that genre. Anyway, i've yet to play the demo, so mine are just the moment's observations concerning the subject, but the ability to rename ships is key to what Rebellion's magic is more or less what i'm on about. Interaction other than giving orders to a Stormtrooper in a ground-battle.

NB: the timing, it being a gif, can be altered...

Indeed Beware the fluff: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0QwAAAOgT4aBZBVc9pQNWJzWI3b2eVzleC9kC7vsi0YrGuEj0j5Sm7CQL26DVlGv*9gCj97wrHFw5*Lz!om*U4OxulGxavVSEZr0n*9QSHX0/Aghaaa.gif

I've just being playing around with the same concept involving a lightsaber and the site's name. As suggested, sized to 468x60: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0UQAFA*QY4S4tRbjxRMmQkSALYeJDqLXTTA4bU8NVAoyF7QT*XbYEFiQbLjHTdLD5BCSMA2ZKn6l3RXuNqMCJRu9BCOCjRYTeNEV3fRhIE8mr*8U54lUmKEmJ*wRKjCGf/Lightsaber_basic.gif29kb http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0VAAsA7UZzXQtRbjxRMmQkSALYeJDqLXT2WfPMs4cb*gci5W0FrclsfvBOrtoB4m*tbmzkiRG5GlaUDgL0N*yh71t!7*ecNheIMy4XwNwZVJIMNnJ0unsXYEINAS5MYmj/Lightsaber_basic_02.gif62kb In a perfect world I could have played around with adding noise to the lightsabers to give them a subtle blend of movement, but I haven't quite to grips with the technique...and when I did try it tripled the frames being used in the gifs, subsequently smashing the file sizes well above 200 kb, which I guess is a little large for banner purposes. When I finnished the second one I experimented with one final thing: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0VAAAALYZDXUtRbjxRMmQkSALYeJDqLXThbblELLbN1EvjROmWd!OIFefHt*aRvW!va7!p1GlYzZG8jMCw9fa!9wj5L9HQ38sV0bdGVoWF9PW6pVghqSsI5qjk3iVfjQC/Lightsaber_basic_03.gif68kb As I we've got the first lightsaber without any of the subsequent additions we're at liberty to make any alterations to suit requirements, for example inserting a Warlords logo, Reloaded logo, Outside interests logo, or whatever. If anyone wants to expand using these, feel free to do so.

Well, i'll be extremely hard-pressed to contribute anything to La_Forge's standards, but i've been a member long enough to at least put in some effort on the subject, given I have some basic understanding of pixel-mashing. I did this a while ago, and have since become a bit more skillfull: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0QQAAAJcT74VhsHv16CDR5aBp7O36iEI*5B55a6!X8Lso7nTdtey4k0wcnmu8lUyDl4blNRg2ijXMSS2hysA1A*904oXQ0IcZ2ytSPzfIpjs/saber.gif I could do something along these lines, but point the way!

We had the entire library staff and guests gathered around the PC I found this on this afternoon for a while, nature can indeed firmly re-ground we busy human-beings!

YOU HEARTLESS PSYCHOTIC DIOBOLICAL TWISTED FIENDMASTER!!! http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TwD5An4YGwfkSm61Z5jvo*Rser3yldp30nmwGLHa!QbgMPbpyrkL6HzXweKPU3hC9Hx5urzaw6Jn72*zd4lpJvKL6bPejeJhDXUjVvM88812OplpPqAZIQ/darthtexisevil.gif Look how you corrupted me... so fluffy as well... Teh Fluffiness: wipe tears... ..and more tears... ...such fluffiness...

Came across this today: http://www.fonz.org/giantpanda.htm Go to the Panda cams bit to see a baby Giant Panda at Smithsonian Zoo in Washington. Spending a few minutes seeing young Tian Tian rolling about it's enclosure is enough for your daily doss of fluffiness.

Something Evaders and Stratus might want to upgrade, but I noticed on a another Nuke-powered site a spell check facility. Top of my head I think it was Diplomats Empire....

hadn't Mr Teron, hadn't

Latin: Thus passes the glory of the world I think I read it Gibbon's Decline and fall of the Roman Empire, though I also might not of.

Most impressed...top flight stuff, send me it on a dark/blank background and i'll ignite this baby with some power!

It will be to much for my PC to handle. Anyway, from all i've seen I must agree with Evaders. EaW simply looks very differant to Rebellion for me to hold my breath for a sequal.

Tell me about it M. What keeps on blowing me away is the file sizes of them. I wonder what they'll do next....

No worries dude! Linking it actually reminded me I could probably do with another copy, perhaps with Rebellion scrolling off into the distance as opposed to Supremacy...

I'm extremely impressed with your determination to see your project through. When I can I shall try and download this creation of yours... hopefully by-passing the problems posted above!

A damaged disc would seem fairly terminal to me! http://store.lucasarts.com/catalog/category.xml?category_id=467;pcid1=;pcid2=;page=2

http://x11.putfile.com/1/1715471444.gif Cool eh?

I've given up on replacing voice files on the reloaded-front. La-Forge should be the person perplexed and constanty let down on this front from now on. I believe Jannaway was the latest piece of crap to promise the earth and be full of nothing as per normal. What is it about the internet that generates such bullshit? Anyway, You can recruit him for our lines then?

Emm... for some wierd reason my PC has desided that it doesn't want to play any of the Jedi Knight series anymore. I guess it will be to.

..which all goes to highlight how much mystery there still is with the game; even with RebEd as a tool. If the major charcatorsare not conforming to values set out in RebEd, then how much can we ultimately trust it as a utility? Evaders remarked a while ago that Revolution left the community without leaving the source code he at least had sussed out for the RebEd tool, but how accurate is it? I fear we need young hacks to spend Biblical amounts of time cracking this old game. EaW seems to be something other than Rebellion 2; more like C&C with TIE fighters, so I guess i'll be headbutting my keyboard for a couple of years yet when I suffer natural disasters and similar stuff...

Time to vote...

There I don't. I try to be around here... POS issues En Inglese hombre? Adult humor is not illegal! You just have to be old and perhaps sad enough to appreciate it.... The site in question btw, is huge, and can interview various b-list celebs for cash/exposure, and has an active member contribution that is all part of it's magic. I more or less learnt how to use Photoshop figuring out stuff posted on it. But as you called, and I agree, dude, that's that.

I must confess to have not the slightest understanding of AdmiralToguroAni's mind when it comes to his ongoing conversion as i've just seen, but sure as hell respect it! An old but very cool platform this Rebellion is. Seems to cator for any blast of imagination and creativity. Which is cool.
