pretty sure the link was on the front page. but the link expired years ago. so unless the creator still has the files on his computer, or someone else wants to upload it, then this mod doesn't exsist.

Well at least the forums work now! there was a long 6 months of that not being a thing.

Naah bro. Unfortunately and fortunately, they re released the game. That means it's now licensed and former Coolhand employees could come under fire for providing sorce code for the game. On the plus, side we know Disney does have access to the game and possibly its code.

get what? Rebed is still available for download, but it can be a hassle to get running. There are forum posts about it in this forum though.

Also, one gencore early on can stop a whole fleet, I think you need somthing like 40 total bombardment rating to get through?

I'm a little rusty with the mechanics since I havn't played much recently. But I think can help a little. First off, I believe the game rolls your espeionage success individually for each character. And if a character is detected they roll on their combat rating to decide what happens to them, roll to low and they get injured or die. Now when it comes to detection, each regiment and ship guarding a planet has a detection rating, which gives them a chance to find a character. So far so good, with no general in place, you would easily be able to spy on them and destroy their stuff. The problem is the commander. Since you are talking about using infiltrators and lando (a bad idea, lando is a useful diplomat and comander aswell as a research character) im going to assume you are playing rebellion. And I'm going to guess that you have not captured Coruscant. When a planet has a general on it, each of your units has to roll against the general Leadership rating to succeed. And Most imperial officers have high leadership and they get a 50% boost while the emperor is on Coruscant. So you are rolling 50 espionage (infiltrators) and 80 espionage (Lando) against 150+ Leadership. Thats why your missions are failing. You might want to try capturing the general, as then you will be rolling your combat rating against his combat rating. Or leaving the planet alone for the time being.

You've been busy while the websites been down.

I think it's working?

Well because it's a licensed product, the rights for the game return to lucas arts, and as the brand has been purchased by Disney, the rights now belong to Disney. However the rights to the games code belong to the developers that created it. However i doubt any of them have the source code. and the company that owned the code is shut down. If the trademark i found is true, that means they shut down at latest 2003 when the trademark for "coolhand Interactive" was given up. Thats could be a problem, cause they may have simply erased there harddrives and sold there computers. The only hope would be if they gave the computers they worked with to the respective users at the office when they closed, and one of them still has one and a copy of the source code and developer notes on the hard drive. :/

Yes, I think you do right click. I'm pretty sure thats what he/she meant. Virtual machines are the way to go with Rebellion. Its possible to get it working on windows 7/8 but its complicated and doesn't work perfectly.

Its very interesting that you've made progress in that field. Unfortunately I don't know where Coolhand was based, and i doubt a quick google search will provide the answer, as I assume you've tried that. Have you tried cross referencing the residential addresses of the people you've found so far to see if there are any commonalities? some may still reside where they used to work.
