I wanted to stop in and thank you also for your hard work! :) I'm a noob at this game, but the Star Wars mod is helping me get into it and learn it.

BTW, in case you're interested, I have a lot of star wars music tracks that I could donate to this mod. I've been using them and it really adds to the immersion.

Yes, if you have some good star wars music tracks they could work well. I chose to not include some of them because they were too aimed at movies, and too specific for particular scenes (like the Duel of the Fates) .
But maybe you have something that I didn't find, so don't hesitate to send me PMs with them!

Looks like a really good mod, except for the characters. Alot of them are dead long before the events of the new republic. If your going to include dead people, how can you not include Revan? I mean Nihilus is probably one of the most epic sith lords ever...but still...No Revan?


I was in the process of expanding the number of characters for the Mod, and I thought of characters that I would've liked to be included. For some strange reason I didn't think of Revan, which actually is my favourite character of all the EU...
I'll certainly put him in the next release.
Of course it's not historically accurate to include someone like Aayla Secura or Greedo, but afterall Lucasfilm did resurrect Maul for the Clone Wars, and there aren't enough good characters for Twi'leks and Rodians in that time period, so...

And also, there really aren't solid proofs, at the moment, about the death of Ahsoka Tano ( the "The Clone Wars" tv show didn't show her dead ), Darth Maul ( same ), Grand Admiral Thrawn ( he died inside his own starship, so no one can really be sure that he's dead ), and Jabba ( he could have pretended to be dead when Leia strangled him ).
...

For Darth Nihilus and Darth Malgus, let's just say that they were resurrected by Sith magic.
Magic can solve any plot holes, just like time travels

Great mod! In my game sometimes pirates deal with themselves to attack some empire - for instance "The Dark Moon Interstellar have made a secret deal with a pirate faction, the Dark Moon Interstellar, to attack ships and bases of Imperial Chiss Realm!" and so on. Also for some reason population grown is really really slow 1-2%.

That's a strange bug, I don't know what can cause that... As for the population growth I think it's just because I set the Research Cost at Expensive in that Map, to make the game last longer.
You can try with a custom game to see if it's still slow with the Research Cost set at Cheap.

I am not sure if this is a bug or a glitch of the installation but, playing as the Chiss I am starting with the Keskudon PDU with a maintenance of 3600 and a defense value far below the Kiadan strike trooper making it a pointless unit.

As for characters I fell like the whole thing should eventually include all characters then we can guilt you into making a map that starts pre Episode I so I can destroy Naboo and those pesky Gungan before they screw up the epic ;)

Ehm... These are not the planets you are looking for. *waves hands*

Lol, poor Gungans
As for the Chiss, do you mean that instead of the Chiss image you get the Keskudon one? If you're just referring to the units, I don't know, I didn't edit those, so maybe it's a problem in the Expanded Mod by Haree78.
Anyway thank you for reporting the problem, and also for the compliments

Status: offline 		Hi there,
as a fresh DW player (I bought the Universe edition and upgraded recently to 1.9.5.10) I'm thrilled by the different mods available, and by this one in particular.
First of all the soundtracks are amazing, but I like the whole setting. :)

Still there are some concerns I'd like to state, and maybe some1 has some advice or can solve this:
- Some systems on the map are named "abundantly", e.g. Lekku system, where Lekku is the name of one planet, most others named Foselu ##. That means the star would normally be named Foselu too. (Some more systems have this same problem, some others just repeat the inhabited planet's name for the star)
- The influence range for colonies seems to be bugged, at least for some factions.
- Not all factions who need it have access to the warpfield pre-cursors. It should be within their home system, because the necessary researching takes enough time to stall them.
- Maybe its a little too unbalanced to let some factions start with lots of tier 3 techs, giving them a decent head start.

This leads me to the sad conclusion that beside one or two favorable factions its not worth my time, sorry to say that.
Of course I'm hoping there may be a solution to these topics in the not too far future ;)

I have seen how you found problems searching images from ships. You can make them if you use by example pictures from Star Wars Empire at War models, there is a small tool named aloviewer http://modtools.petrolution.net/ which it lets you take screenshots from a model. You can load them with a top view and after it, you can edit the screenshot with any image editor. I have checked it and it will work.

Next if you search in mods, you can find thousands of different units from SW. By example at my EAW/FOC mods, you can find many new units and specially many new stations, more than at other mod. http://www.moddb.com/mods/foc-alliance-22x

Other option for search models can be the old Xwing Alliance games. There is a tool named optgl or some like this (sorry I do not remember the name at 100% and I´m not at home). With this tool, you can take pictures from the game models as at EAW. I can give you the tool if you contact with me by private message by example and you give me a email address.

Well, I tried by myself, just for personal use, the addition from from some new ships at your mod and it looked good. Perhaps I would like edit it at 100% but I have not time for this and I would not publish it without your permission. However, who knows........

However, if you want my help with this, you can get it. I can spend some of my huge free time with this.
