Hello everyone, and welcome to my first news post for UEAW!
Well, firstly, let me say that no...Shim hasn't died and gone to coder heaven. He is just very busy coding and we felt that it would be a much better use of time for me to write the post, not him...but more on that later. I am also happy to announce the return of Fynbos to the team, who was summoned by dark magic from the great beyond. Welcome back to the team! Okay, now all that is out of the way....Progress!
As of me writing this post, there are just 23 tasks left until UEAW is complete. Some of these are just simple tasks (like deleting certain text) while some are more complicated (such as coding the orbital structures). For a mod this large, that number is TINY. I have played the mod myself and, while it is most definitely playable, we don't want to cut the remaining features out just to release a sub-standard product a bit earlier...and I am sure you don't want that either!
Currently, Shimrra is the only person able to work on the mod [what code remains is very high level] and he is being a trooper. Over the past months he has taken the garbled mess of material that he inherited and created a truly amazing mod. However, this is starting to take its toll on him. Too much LUA can drive a person mad. So I hearby propose a morale boost for Shim. Comment with your supportive messages or just a "Keep it up Shim!" to let him know how many people he has behind him! If we can amass enough messages of support, I'm sure he can use his evil coder powers to drain the goodwill/happiness and forge a few more pages of code to bring us that little bit closer to completion!
I should also point out our site is having a few problems, so we apologise that it is so slow to load. Patience is rewarded, however, as it does still work. We hope to have the problem fixed soon.
So, that is all for now. I bid you all farewell and a safe journey through the inter-tubes!
s-t-n
Lol the next RAW...
did that ever get released? lol
Good job UEAW!!!! looking forward to it and i reinstalled EAW specifically for this
Getting released tomorrow!
Keep it up Shim!
lol
but seriously keep up the good work guys
im looking forward to play the mod
This mod is awesome, and when V1 is released I have no doubt that - once again - you guys will have blown my mind. Keep up the good work, but don't over work yourself.
Keep up the good work Shim. May the code force be with you :P
Sounds like your doing an awesome job Shim, one last push!
Keep it up Shim!
;D
I can't wait for this mod..
Cant wait for this mod
keep up the great work Shim!
Keep going Shim!!!!!
Yeah, go go go!
i first fell in love with this mod years ago, when i finally got forces of corruption, which almost seemed to be a half-a--ed attempt of a game. truthfully, this mod was and still remains to this day the only reason i have the game installed.
to hear that it is this close to completion and the only one who can really finish it has been doing so well for so long is truly inspiring. all i can really say is that your dedication to such a great project is stunning and i can wait for a while longer to see the finish product of so many days and nights. as far as i'm concerned, this entire team is a group of super-star coders who should be given a job by the companies, who quite frankly, can't measure up to the people they make these games for. i realize this might be a bit of a kick in the yahoos to the companies themselves, but the only one who seems to be actually hitting the mark is bioware, and you guys are about on-par with them if not better. Shim, job bloody well done. keep it up! ^^
this mod is going to make me so damn happy!!!!! once this and RAW comes out, i will be the happiest man on earth!
I LOVE U SHIM (NO ****).
Keep up the good work!
Keep it up Shim!
Too late. I killed Shim, R.I.P. in coder heaven xD JK! Keep up the good work.
Keep it up Shim!
Keep it up shim
your doing a fantastic job you will bring this mod to its full glory
i hope you will be able to finish this whitout going haywire
nonetheless i am sure every one is apreciating what your doing allot
so keep it up
also what has happened to LTCC where did he go ?
He passed from the real of modders into the black abyss beyond.
hope its a better realm ^^
This will be epic! Keep it up Shim! :-D
A simple ``Keep it up Shim!`` will never be enough for the work he is putting,for the work the entire team is doing.There are not enough words that can describe what you deserve to be told.You guys are not building a mod,you are building hopes,you are building dreams,you are building a ``World``.So i say this for the entire team:Imagine all the people,waiting for the mod,and remember how you where when you were waiting for an epic mod?You remembered right?That feeling that warmth inside of you.When you will feel that warmth inside again you will feel what we feel and you will know that we stand with you.I know this is a big comment so in the end guys i want to tell you.Thank you for all the work you are doing for us,thank you for taking away your spare time to do this,thank you for offering us this.I say thank you for everything you are doing.May the force be with you and guide you.To Shim and the entire team of UEAW.
Thumbs up to send LUA POWER for Shim!!!
Great work Shim!!! Hope you can keep it up!
"Keep it up Shim!"
Can't wait to play this awesome mod!
Keep it up Shim! XD
"Keep it up Shim!"

Out of all the MODS I follow, this has to be the biggest and the most wanted out there. The idea of so many people making somthing like this I find hard to understand, the amount of time and effert that you have all put into this is beyound awsome, thanks guys and girls.
