Where do you expect to get support for this 1998 unsupported game anywhere except from here? If you have a clue where this miracle solution is going to come from, would you mind sharing with-us? Till then, I'm enjoying a flawless playthrough within my virtual computer installed on Win8 Best regards, Phil

Until somebody more knowledgable finds the source for this glitch, you'd better try my solution, that's all that worked for me anyway.

Install OracleVM virtualbox (free) https://www.virtualbox.org/ Dig-out your install CD from a previous version of windows. Find your CD key Install your windows through virtualbox. Use a USB drive to transfer whatever files you want or a CD to install Rebellion on-it. It does work!

Hey there, I'll try to answer your issues as best as I can. I managed to install Rebellion on windows 8 and think I'll be able to make-it work properly. I used a virtual machine of Windows XP with my old license I bought a few years ago. Let me start by this: I tried to balance between playability and canon, but my intent was mostly to make a game that was closer to cannon for one, and less disgusting to look-at. I cannot say that it is perfect. I cannot say that it looks as good as I originally intended, but I think it is pretty playable and way better to look at. By the way, always use the Expert setting, if you want the AI to have a fighting chance! Can't answer that one right now, as my game is not set yet, but basically, some names were to long to fit perfectly in the UI. Rebellion was not exactly made to be mod friendly and with the help of Darth Tex (a lot of help), I was able to make something that is not so bad. If you think you can do better, by all means, try-it Also, I want to tell you that I tried my best to incorporate the positions from the New Essential Atlas, the most reliable source of geo in SW, so far. Edit: The double sector is Yavin. I could correct that someday, when I get RebEd to work. Till then... Yes. If you read their descriptions, both planet are very alike. I believe a few others also share this icon. You might want to share a few screenies? That would help to clarify what is supposed to look weird. You got me on that one. If you can report a lot of those, I may consider issuing a fix for that, but not for only a handful of them. I'll correct-it here, but I will release this only way later, if and when I have something more to post for this mod. First, that would be the enForcer. And second, I know I did not made descriptions to match in-game style. Unfortunately for you, I do not plan on keeping this feature myself. Never used the ency in this way. I'd rather have a historic of the ency data I'm looking-at than stats. So how do I compare them? Use status on ship! Yup, I know that. This is due to the fact that for a few reasons, I based my mod on Reloaded TC. There are stuff that came from this mod and I did not fully change the interface. That IS annoying to me as hell, but I was not inspired to change these. Already, what I done, graphic-wise, met a lot of opposition (when I mainly wanted to make things look better for myself, in the beginning...), so I'd have to find something that looks good enough and would be acceptable for everybody. I ain't there yet, but this is a good idea and I may try to improve on that Reloaded graphic feature in the future. Yes, it is buildable by the empire. You will remember that the Republic became the empire, and as such, it has access to Marauder Corvette. You will notice that a lot of vessels are available to both sides. This is due to the fact that canonically, they are available to both. The Marauder was used a lot into the Corporate Sector of Authority, which also justify that the empire has access. As for the Rebels, they stole a lot of plans and vessels from the empire. Yes intentional. Corellian Engineering Corporation has been under imperial control, so it only makes sense. And look into status info: the Carrack totally owns the Corellian Corvette for not as expensive (200 hull for CR-90 and 1000 hull for Carrack, turbolasers for carrack...) Because it is my understanding that she simply is not qualified to direct space battles. She was good at intelligence and troop management, which is why she has high charisma and can be general, but in my opinion, she cannot direct a space battle with as much finesse, which is why I chose to only make her a General. Lowering her charisma and make her able to be admiral would hinder her capacity at being a good general. By the way, you can get insight of her incompetency at driving space battle when you look at who she surrounds herself with: good captains and Admirals that became warlords. I have no preblem with what you speak of. Screenies???? Heh, I knew people would complain about that. Then change-it back... Seriously, try to find a decent ref pic for the mine!!! Awfully hard. However, the Sandcrawler is an adaptation the jawas did to a MINING VEHICLE. From Wikipedia: "Sandcrawlers were large, slow, threaded vehicles, used as self propelled bases for mining squads." Plus it makes sense to have something easier to move like a "Sandcrawler", in order to mine through harsh environments and move where the resources are. That's the last you'll hear about this, as I like-it and will keep-it for my mod. You can always switch all of these back to the old ones with RebEd and resource hacker... Lol I don't know, but I do know I get myself a cup of coffee while the intro plays! Looks like a bug!! Weird... I'll look into-it! Well, I could have made-it known, but I also know that the Empire had many secret bases there, which the Alliance did not know about for quite some time, because the emperor wanted them to stay a secret. Ironically, this is not the ultimate I did that though: that's because in my mod, there are fewer places where the Rebels can actually hide their headquarters and I choose to leave-it unexplored in order to allow rebels to hide their headquarters there. Yeah, the icons were supposed to be on the "counter" all the way. I should try to fit the continuity of-it on the Alliance pic , but then there might be clipping issues, not to mention palette differences. Nasty business. If you can make-it work and post me your result, I'd be happy to include-it in the mod with full credit to yourself, of course. Till then, we'll have to wait for me being able and having time to work on this gem. That is why you never start with any difficulty lesser than "Expert". On expert, the AI can face you. But keep in mind that the game has many exploits, such as a victory by using insurrections. Hope this answered most of your questions and you aren't too disappointed in the answers. Keep in mind that this game is pretty old and it is hard to get the result you want, what with the colour palette issues and other limitations. Also, if you comment, I always like when you propose an alternative, especially at the graphic level (providing pics is even better). Anyway, I wanted to thank you for your feedback: I value-it, even though I don't mod a lot these days.

Evader99, do you have an idea on how to get around this? Is there a virtual machine that is recent enough (and free, if possible) and could be used to circumvent this issue?

Oh, I just looked. What you downloaded is the beta v2 and It actually IS 183 MB! Would you please try-it and tell-me if it does work? I tried on my computer, but it is missing a dlll (for 64-bit only; you can get-it off the net for free, just dump-it along with the other ones). It may not be the most recent version, but I did not change much and don't plan to till I get Rebellion to work better than it does now...

I'll host-it today, but it takes so long and gets taken down so fast...! By the way, this version should work for just any system you may have, whether it be vista, xp, W7 or else, 32 bits or 64 bits and if a friend of yours has the exact same, whether he has 64bit or 32 unlike you shouldn't matter either. The only thing is DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS 8, or if you do, be sure you have another OS, whether it is a virtual machine or whatever else. You'll still be able to play, just the graphic will be very ugly, with colors and orientation messed-up!

I'd love to get-it

Same thing here. I really start to hate Windows 8! My computer isn't some frigging iPhone, bring back the start button and please stop messing around with backward compatibility! Now, rebellion is screwed on my laptop. They do piss me off!

I sure hope they don't cartoon SW from now on!

What if a foundry gets destroyed. Can you build another?

Main strategy with pirate is this: "ALWAYS" send them onto your enemies.

Moves Like Jabba

That did it. I thank god for your knowledge, Lavo

Now this may sound silly, but since I'm a steam hater and can't get the game otherwise, how can you update your SoaSE Reb to 1.04?

How should we proceed if we want to don't break the mod while installing the patch?

"Aggressive negotiations"

Please refer to first post ( viewtopic.php?p=542513#p542513 ) to get instructions on how you might get access to the new beta (that is working with SoaSE Rebellion). You NEED to create a mantis account and display-it here, in order to be accepted in the beta team and have access to further instructions.

Yay! Thank you guys!

Hello Lavo. Last time, you told me to buy "just" the regular SoaSE + Entrechment (no trinity) game. So now that I have this, can I just buy the digital version of SoaSE Rebellion and install-it upon the other versions I have, or do I need to buy something else than the expansion (trinity) in order to get the mod to work?

Yes. However, both computer must have the exact same version of the game and the mod.

The human being probably finds most of his strength in sociability. You may come to realize that often you define yourself according to what other people said about you. Naturally, they may praise you, or they may disregard you and treat you like an as*****. So if you don't realize this self definition by your surrounding, you'll probably be either happy with the 1st case, or very unhappy in the second. But if you do, then you may try to change your surrounding with people that appreciate you and do not treat you like you are a nuisance to them. Of course, you could also try not to give a sh** about what morons says about you, but then, you may miss on the part about getting a better surrounding. So if you think this community regards you, it may well have helped.

How did you gat the shipping to calculate itself? It did not work when I tried...

I could upload them again, but I think there are tutorials out there in this website's download area: http://www.swrebellion.com/downloads/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=2

What Vader pic don't you like? Build (status), tactical (in space battle), fleet (and planetary defense view), encyclopedia or extra(missions)?
