Speaking of mod editing. Have you guys ever considered giving the Rebels more hero ships? The empire as all these hero units with Star Destroyers. Why not make Booster Terrik with his Errant Venture or give Leia her Rebel Dream. would be way cooler

I'm only about half complaining... First the AI does almost nothing at all, pretty much nothing for the most part... and I know the Rebelion has it's own version of the SSD, but it should actually have one of it's own just for the heck of it. Consortium has nothing of the sort. I'd fix this myself but I don't have the patience too. I actually did before with Absolute Corruption 2.4 and it was awesome but that computer got fried.

I have a few things I'd just like to point out...
First, the mods great, no doubt about that, but in earlier eras, the New Republic really needs something to balance out the SSDs the other factions have.
Also, the AI even on easy tends to attack you relentlessly. There's an overkill factor there, and it doesn't seem very strategic.
Other than that, I really have no complaints.

I need some help from a more experienced modder, if any actually read this. I'm trying to give planets/systems to their proper faction owners, but I can't even find out where to do it at. Any ideas on where to look?

Less evil laughing, more modding. >:|

I was being some what of a troll. I meant the entire star wars series of books. All of'em. O.o
The Yuuzhan Vong are almost a tad irrelevant at this point. .-."

Does this mod have a GC?

Turns out, I've been playing with a mod that doesn't have that xml file. Absolute Corruption 2.9 or something like that. I'm a little peeved because I can't figure out how they got around that.

okay, so there's an xml file with a list of build-ables? That makes sense... If it's not too much trouble, anyone care to tell me what I'm looking for in general? O.o

I liked a version of Thrawns Revenge. Problem with that mod is that the AI on easy in GC is ridiculous. At least in most of the versions they put out. And I've never been able to play the newer ones because the graphics are all ****** up on my computer. Hope to God that doesn't happen with the Yuuhzan Vong At War mod I'm waiting for. And other modders need not be such pricks. speaking of modders being pricks. Someone needs to teach me how to edit units into the game. I think I got everything right by the xml. I know you have to have models and such, that you link to the xml file. and I've got the dat file part down as well. I just can't seem to get my units to actually show up. I've been trying to give the Rebels an Imperial Star Destroyer for a while. O.o

It's from my experience that you should just about NEVER read the comments on a mod before you try it first... It occasionally will save you some hassle, but more often than not it will discouraging you from trying a mod that might be amazing. In this case I can't even get the damn thing to download. -_- 'Course that's because of my slow-*** internet.

Well two things. first to the original commentor, I usually listen to Metallica, or some of my other CDs while playing games. I scarcely ever hear any of the sounds in the games, including the music.
To you Corey, try looking around youtube for some guitar covered star wars stuff. I'm pretty sure if you can get permission from them to use their stuff it'll be fine. particularly the better put together tracks. If they're going to put that much work into it, they will make sure it's not taken down easily for legal issues.

Right, also forgot to mention that you can get most of the information you want from Starwars.wikia.com

Another thing I want to point out here is that you don't want to complete the mod without reading the books. You'll leave out units like the Executor class SSD. and some other older than dirt ships that showed up in the war. There's also the fact that Coruscant fell to the Yuuzhan Vong about half-way through.

You can just as simply go to the Library, and get a few of them. If you live in a place with a huge library, then they might all be there. I live in a place where the libraries are divided up. But what books I couldn't find at my closest library I got on PDF. Problem is... Once Disney took over Lucasfilms, the availability of free star wars ebooks dropped like President Clinton's pants for Monica Lewinsky.

as long as that falls under "icon name" then yes.
Otherwise I don't see it. Literally not even a space for it.

dsfsdfgfsdf! What do you think I've been doing for 3 days? D:
I was really hoping you tell me something basic, and stupid that I simply missed. ;-;

Typing too damn fast. -_-

I sense the tech level is closer to the problem at hand... Problem is that the mod in question was modded very interestingly when it comes to that. (I'm talking about the Absolutely Corruption Mod 2.3)

Okay, aside from getting really irritated waiting for this mod to come out... I want to learn how to mod. Particularly the xml portion of it, and adding new units. It seems easy enough, and I'm pretty sure I have everything right in the coding that's obvious, but I can't get any of my added units to show up in the build bar at the bottom. Doesn't matter what I do, they won't show up. I'm not adding new models, textures, or anything like that. Just using ones that already exist. Help?

Now you're just making me wanna play Diablo II. -_-

AI in GC might be just a little too pacified. It's easily overwhelmed, and not real creative.

So it has all the same ships as regular FOC?

I really just wanna add a few units to both sides. - -;;
Like the Rebellion had Star Destroyers. captured, and otherwise. I can edit the text files easy, but that don't change the fact that the only capitals the Rebellion normally has is Mon Cal Cruisers, and they had a lot more than that in most of the books.
