The renders are made with 3D software, the most popular being 3D Max. When the tools come out they will include convertors that can convert their models to be used in game. As far as programming, at least modding EaW, you should study up on XML and Lua. Lua is used for scripting in empire at war.

The perfect Star Wars Strategy game... aww have I dreamed about this! ;D It would be complex. I don't care if some people dont like it, but that's what I want . Okay so it would have a galatic map like Rebellion but with updated graphics, such as EaW. But there would still be star systems you click on to access individual planets. You can use all the same missions and such as in Rebellion, but you can control land battles and space battles such as EaW. Oh how fun that would be! Basically they need to remake Rebellion with better interface, graphics, music, and add land battles and space battles. OH man I would so buy that game. That is my dream game.

Very good. Great swordsmanship and editing. And Sound ;D I actually liked that one.

Okay this has gone far enough.... :

Okay the problem lies in your Registry. This is a file that helps out many programs in your computer and I recommend that you dont change anything else and be careful when editing it. It is super important! Follow these steps: 1. Go to start -> run 2. Type in "regedit" without quotes. Push OK. 3. When "Registry Editor" comes up go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER (located on the left) 4. Push the + sign to expand the folder. 5. Inside the expanded folders, expand the folder named "Software" 6. Locate "LucasArts" in this expanded folder and expand it. 7. Now expand "Star Wars Empire at War" 8. Click "1.0" 9. Now in the main window there should be a two icons, double click on the one titled "CDPath" 10. In the Value Data spot, put the letter of your drive followed by :\ for example "E:\" (without quotes) 11. Push OK 12. Now go to file -> exit Okay now try it. And be careful not to change anything else. Does that help?

You might get better help in the EAW Issue Reports and Usability Evaluation forum. So --> MoVeD -->

I really think we should rename the "EAW Issue Reports and Usability Evaluation" forum to "EAW Tech Support Forum" Since the full game is out, that's what it basically is for. And with the super spiffy title it has now, many people post tech problems in the general discussion. We should really switch all tech problems to that forum so the general discussion isnt cluttered with this kind of topics. Besides, most of our memebers dont exactly know that issue reports and usability evaluation = tech support ;D What do you guys think? Cain ?

I have found that 99 % of the time, people who bring up age in a conversation arent that old themselves . Even if you are old, that doesnt mean you are mature. There is a big difference. Now dont get me wrong DragonShadow im not being mean to you I do realize you were being sarcastic. I was just making a general statement. But of course this isnt discuss your age and how it relates to if you use mods or not topic. So let's get back on topic. As soon as the map editor is out, I'll be churning out maps ASAP. Though I'll be putting my efforts into mapping for Legacy of War, I might release a map or two for the regular game. If I have a chance. I really want to make Legacy of War fun, and maps will definetely affect that

Well not much, but I have never heard of a patch that adds a ton of more features to a game. With the exception of MMORPG games such as galaxies. Also a major difference is expansions are usually treated as seperate games. Such as Yuri's Revenge, you could play that and still play Red Alert 2 seperately. If they made a patch, the version of EaW that is out now gets scratched and is replaced, because patches modify. Whilst Expansions, expand. While I do agree with you guys, that the game would be a whole lot more fun with all the features I dont think a petition will get you anywhere. So basically you pick your battles and this one, I believe, isn't worth it. But you have to right to petition (hopefully) so more power to you! ;D

Yes send it to a moderator and we can help. -->Moved to bar-->

Stop the flaming or this is getting locked. As for me personally, I say dont fix it if it isnt brocken. The game works well with what it has right now. Im the kind of person that would rather buy added features and units in an official expansion and is willing to pay a reasonable price for it. But heck, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Yeah, I was confused myself actually. The research automatically advances. ;D Sticky? Your wish is my command

They show the X-Wing flying down the trench because that is in the cutscene when you destroy the Death Star. It isnt an actual map.

The system is too random for me personally. I would prefer something that wouldnt use the stupidest tactics in the world. But of course that's why I dont use autoresolve frequently.

In the campaign you can only steal so much technology in between missions. So to still more, complete the next mission, unless of course you are at tech level 4 with all technology which means you cant steal anymore, which is most likely the case seeing you cant even get a steal option anymore. Hints randomly pop up in any order, so theirfore it doesnt ever really check if you can steal more technology.

A great tactic is using there bombard ability and target enemy space stations. This causes a TON of damage and can really change the tide of war. Two broadsides bombarding a station can knock out shields and get all hardpoints to yellow condition in less then 2 uses of the bombard ability.

The Rebel Spec Op. unit, is the normal everyday Rebel Infantry unit. The equivilant to the Stormtrooper. Note that on the website in paranthesis it says (Rebel Soldier)

I like the idea, it adds more of an importance of gaining reinforcment points. If you were to, you should make it a new category or something, that would be nice. I'd play it! ;D

Any further talk of illegal music downloads and I'll start give you a ban Mikan Cyclone. That is illegal. And you cannot upload .mp3s this is illegal as well.

I have had the exact same problem. For some reason sometimes the game will put three players into a quick match and I had the same sync error you described.

When it says stealth it is refering to the galatic map. On the galatic map, you can move this individual units to enemy planets without starting a battle. This is useful to find out what the enemy has in their base.

Not true at all, Lucas himself has verifed much EU to be cannon. Lucas has never disregarded EU ever. I agree with JediIgor on this one, im sick of clone wars crap and I want to see some expanded universe stuff. Its the time period NEVER explored in games. And yes it will be successful. I mean before KOTOR came out, noboddy thought that time period would be popular. But its one of the best selling star wars games ever. I would much prefer RoTJ-New Republic time period expansion. Not more and more clone wars stuff.

You have to build a level 4 or 5 space station on either Fondor, Kuat, Mon Calamari, or Sullust. Try building on Kuat as I am sure that will work. Build a lvl 4 or 5 station and then you will be able to make Star Destroyers, but only on those certain planets.
