The New Republic is considered part of lore, as the books are sanctioned by George Lucas.



After watching that famous review/critique of Episode I and II (www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxKtZmQgxrI), I'm not sure whether to trust Lucas anymore.

However, the ships still look cool lordxorn, I'd be still interested in using them! :)


Dude I was reviewing this thread for the next races I am adding, and watched that youtube link you posted on the part 1 and 2 reviews, HILARIOUS!!

Pro-taga-nist!!! lol

Mr plinket is my favourite youtube reviewer. His review of the new Star Trek movie was very well thought out and he made some excellent points which is strangely reinforced by how much of a nutter he is!

I mean if a crazy person is pointing out these plotholes and gaffs, then the movie makers must really be off their heads!

Is there an answer to the question about ship size limitations? Is it viable to increase their max sizes?

The acutal races Rebellion and Empire are separate and do not overwrite any orginal files, and is compatible with other themes.

Other than that the weapons mod is a separate package.

Status: offline 		Greetings to all players! I am having a rather fun time with DW:ROTS, a really appealing and addictive game experience... I love the Star Trek and Star Wars Mods, really great effort, guys!!

But I have a question regarding the Super Laser Beam (you know, the Death Star planet-destroying blast).
According to the races.txt, it is number 3 in the Special Component options for a given race, but so far, I am not able to have the Empire enjoy this Super Laser for the Death Star. Maybe I'm using the Death Star image as a "Capital Ship", which may not be correct in game terms, but no such luck... When I try to build a new ship model, the Super Laser Beam does not appear at all in the components section, so...

How in Alderaan can the Empire bring order to the galaxy far, far away, without the Super Laser for her armoured battlestation (s)??? Thanks for your help!

Status: offline 		Caesar_Augustus welcome to the DW forums and I am really glad you are enjoying the fine title Codeforce/Matrix brought to us, and the Star Wars mod.

You bring up an excellent question, and I believed the Super Laser planet destroying tech was a natural for me to give to the Empire from the start. However, because the Planet Destroyer is in the game organically I thought it would be better and more challenging to force you to actually find it in the story line and repair the darn thing.

So yes it was an intentional decision to exclude the super tech, (which would allow you to build the super laser from starting tech) and have you work a little harder to obtain it.

Of course since you are saavy enough to peek into the races.txt file, then if you would like for personal reasons you can edit the change in yourself.

Status: offline 		Yes, well, thank you kindly, lordxorn! It's fine the way you designed your mod but, well, you see, I have a rather "imperial" outlook on the world and the universe for that matter, as my nick suggests .

My problem though is that I have been able to include the Super Laser tech (#3) for the Romulans start-up in a Star Trek mod in standard DW, but I have not been able to do the same thing for the Galactic Empire in your Star Wars mod for ROTS. I just can't understand why not... I think I'm doing the same thing, but no luck... any clues? Thanks again!

Status: offline 		I'm trying everything imaginable, no go, no Super laser for my poor Death Star... It seems broken... Oh, HELP, please, for without the power of this fully armed battlestation, I cannot maintain peace and order in the galaxy... Editing the races.text in this way (Super Laser tech# 3) seems to work in DW but not in ROTS???

Status: offline 		Confirmed: there seems to be a nasty bug in ROTS since the "Special component" tech numbers do not have any effect, other than the Skakturi Firestorm torpedo weapon (#11). So, for the moment, no Super Laser nor anything else for that matter Unless I'm missing something... can the devs confirm this... and if so, correct this, please??

EDIT: After experimenting with the values, it seems that special component techs 4-15 do in fact work (yay!), but apparently not the case, most sadly, for techs 1=Death Ray, 2=Devastator Pulse, and 3=Super Laser (!). Really seems to be a strange bug, please fix this!

Thanks for the catch, I remember now that I forgot to offer it as a separate upload. The problem is that it will overwrite the original game files which some players do not like. I will upload the flagshapes as a separate file today and will of course offer the original files already backed up for you.

BTW, the way I handle such "original overwrite" files is to use the Jonesoft Generic Mod Enabler (I don't have the download link right now, but it can be found via a quick web search).

This very useful utility allows the user to swap alternative files in and out as required, without losing the original data. I intend using it for both the Star Wars and the Star Trek flagshapes and weapons graphics.
