Features
(Unreleased v5.0)
last update 22.06.2024.
General:
- Tweaked to work with 2023 Steam update
- Five playable factions (Zann Consortium, Rebel Alliance, Galactic Empire, Black Sun pirates and The Hutt Cartel) + 4 non-playable (CIS Remnant, Ohnaka Gang, Pyke Syndicate and Mandalorian Militia)
- New Music (Start menu, Hutt and Black Sun specific backgrounds, Empire and Rebel added to the existing playlists, music added from Star Wars Rebels, Rogue One and Shadows of the Empire)
- New sounds for Mandalorian pistols, sniper rifles, Kyle's Bryar pistol and Ahsoka's force speed
- Campaigns for all tastes: all five factions, only Black Sun added, and just Rebels vs the Empire (FOC and EAW updated campaigns and one original)
- Fully converted and playable EAW story Campaign (Empire and Rebels)
- 22 new galactic locations: Abandoned Republic Starbase, Anaxes Asteroids(variant), Concord Dawn, Duro, Falleen, Florrum, Gall, Gamorr, Jakku, Jedha, Lothal, Mygeeto, Nar Kaaga, Nar Shaddaa, Rhen Var, Ringo Vinda, Rodia, Scarif, Starforge, Trandosha, Rattatak, Ziost
- Two new GCs: "A Prince's Revenge" Featuring the Black Sun vs the Empire and "Battle for the Underworld" featuring only underworld factions.
Tweaks:
- New Planet Land Art for Rodia, Geonosis, Mandalore, Scarif, Mygeeto, Ziost, Korriban and Dathomir.
- Fully remastered ingame unit and hero icons.
- New particle effects: Empire has blue protons, Black Sun orange ones, orange and yellow blaster bolts for the Mandalorians, new laser textures, purple bolts for some heroes, faster moving projectiles, added blue space lasers to some units, new unit abilities with new particle effects, Ion cannos projectile based on ESB and Ion torpedoes based on Rogue One, new proton look and SFX for CIS bombers approximating ROTS visuals
- New Turbolaser effects
- New Galaxy texture, particle and size
- Ssdcommander's space station spawning system
- Replaced some unit names with correct/complete ones
- Enhanced Vader's and Sidious Force powers (whirlwind and lightning damages everything and telekinesis can be applied to vehicles and heroes - except force sensitives and droids) I did that because frankly no bounty hunter or smuggler has any chance against a main Jedi or Sith hero
- Fighters rescaled to 75%, corvettes, frigates and cruiser rescaled more canonically
- Planets rescaled to 75%
- Reworked AI, Hutts and Black Sun fully active in GC and skirmish
- Multiple tweaks and fixes

- New basic, forest/swamp and snow Imperial Stormtrooper variants
- Consortium Grenadiers now feature multiple different species within squads

pretty sure I've installed it correctly, except the shortcut only launches vanilla FOC... not sure how to proceed
Have you put it in the right folder?
You must avoid having double maps like this:
.../.../.../Forces of Corruption/Mods/Rise of the Crime Lords/Rise_of_the_Crime_Lords/Data
Here are two suggestions for the mod:
1. Give Kyle Katarn the "Raven's Claw" instead of the "Moldy Crow." The Raven's Claw was Kyle's ship in the Jedi Outcast & Academy games. Everyone else uses the Moldy Crow, so be using the Raven's Claw, you make the mod even more unique.
2. Equip the Z-95 Headhunters with light mass driver cannons. The M.O. of the Black Sun is to take old ships and upgrade them, as well as to steal new ships. Refitting the Z-95's with light mass drivers would fit this style well.
No it would be weird, because pirates are not using Mass Drivers, they belong to Zann and his consortium.
Well Raven's Claw was given to him post-ROTJ era so it wouldn't be canon.
The Z-95 might go trough some changes but they are supposed to be cheap so I probably won't upgrade them too much.
Suggestions for the mod.
Give Jabba his space yacht, the Star Jewel and maybe him or another hutt hero a price reduction ability.
Replace the Munificent with a better model, like this one Moddb.com
Replace the Venator with a better model Empireatwar.gamefront.com
And maybe replace some of the ships with model that have more bones for weapons. These models from here could be used. Empireatwar.gamefront.com
I remember seeing you were trying to get a 5-tier asteroid starbase on filefront. That should be used for Black Sun, but both them and the Hutts shouldn't use the same starbase. One of these two should work, Empireatwar.gamefront.com Everythingeaw.com
I forgot this one, dashboards for Black Sun and the Hutts.
Empireatwar.gamefront.com
Nice suggestions. I was thinking about changing the Venator and ISD with better models, this will be considered.
Munificient will also be replaced, that's for sure, btw. do you know any good Providence model?
I am also searching for alternatives for asteroid bases so I'll probably replace the Hutt cartel one.
You could use Republic at War's Providence or the one from this mod Moddb.com
It's a bit complicated, I have to get strict permission to use files from other mods and I would like to avoid having non-freerelease content in my mod.
You wouldn't have to ask permission for RaW's models, in the readme it says to just copy the credits for models and make sure it's correct. They did that so Z or anyone else working on the mod wouldn't have hundreds of people asking to use their stuff.
Other than those models, I don't know of a Providence model that doesn't require someone to ask for it. Those are the only ones.
