The title of the mod under development is called "Star Wars: Rise of the Shadows." The mod is somewhat based off a fictional timeline setting in the Star Wars universe between Episode 4: A New Hope and Episode 6: Return of the Jedi, but mainly between Episodes 4 & 5. Basically the characters in the mod are involved in a plot revolving around a recently formed Consortium of Criminal Networks (CCN) between various members of recently allied criminal networks such as the Zann Consortium, the Hutt Cartel, and the Black Sun; all of whom conspire with an emerging regime in Geonosis to liberate the planet from Imperial occupation. The Geonosian regime is led by Prago the Lesser, and his military commander Darth Rex, a dark Jedi. Along the way, Darth Rex shares his leadership with his new found love, Serra Nova, a Jedi knight who survived Order 66 in her padawan days. Meanwhile, the Rebels see this emerging criminal faction as a potential ally in their war against the Galactic Empire.

Hello everyone,

Well just to give another mod update for those interested, I'm about 90% done with the text editing as far as the mod goes and about 99% done with adding and implementing tga icons into the game for the faction units. I also just posted some in game pictures using a trial version of the Fraps application. So far I think it works well and I will not have to struggle with taking pictures of the mod from my digital camera anymore especiallly since they don't come out as well when all I have to do from now on is hit the F3 key to take computer screenshot pictures. Plus I can also use the Fraps application to video record by using F4 key. Right now I'm uploading demonstration mod video files for the newly added Rebel Alliance hero units which include the Outrider, Dash Rendar, and a new hero that I devised for this mod called Jenna Nightfall, an ex-Imperial special forces stormtroop sniper turned Rebel contracted mercenary. Unfortunately, I'm using the trial version of Fraps, and I'm contemplating whether to buy the online downloaded version since I plan to make a fairly long in game cinematic menu recording for the mod. Any advice or feedback is greatly appreciated. Well, I hope everyone enjoys the new stuff posted for the mod. I plan to post more before I go to my friend's wedding later this week.

@dj5555: Thanks for your sign of approval on my work so far with the mod so far. I'm glad to know that a fellow modder like you also uses fraps. Thanks for the suggestion about the real player. What I'll probably do is get the full version of fraps and try to use that as a converter for the movie main menu screen of my mod. I have a cool idea of the movie screen if I can edit it right where it will look the cover picture of my mod but with animations of all the charaters from the cover happening at once. But I'll focus on the mod first and then I'll focus on the video title recording phase.
