First things first, xXAlpha RevanXx is now a moderator. He will browse the forums crushing noobs under the might of the banhammer.


Now, alot of you have been asking me about galaxys, planets, etc. Well here is a list of the planets we will have in the game. This list is final.




60 Planets. Why only 60? The FoC engine begins to lag heavily when you exceed that number of planets. When I mod claims they will have more then that, it wont happen. Yes, we did cut planets. Here are the ones that will NOT be in the mod.



The reason the list is final is because we have created all new planets textures. Here are some examples:

Alderaan

Endor

Tattooine


Additionally, here is a picture of our galaxy.





Now, it wouldn't be a new newspost without some ingame images. So here are some more Jedi, and our new A6 Juggernaught.

I like em.

Simply beautiful.

congrats to Alpha too

this mod's gonna be Ub3r PwNaGe.

OMGOMGOMG sooo sexy. You did a great job retexturing team! Nice work.

and congrats xXAlpha RevanXx for becoming a moderator!

Congrats Alpha and sweet new news. (no pun implied)
edit: Bryant nice weapon: Banhammer that should (JK) be in the mod.

Thanks everyone, try not to spam the thread too much. Planets look great btw!

When i look at the new planets of UEAW i see that when i scroll in to view the planet it is pretty screwed up. I hope that when you scroll in it isnt like how is is in UEAW, and do the planets come with description, what type of race that lives there, and a picture of them, and will they be present on the planet?

Absolutely beautiful. Will there be changes to that list? JK, LOL! Okay, back on topic, the use of shaders on the planets looks really nice. Almost as good as self shadowing, which would be really stupid to put on a mostly flat planet in the first place. I feel elated that we are getting solid info like this too, because it means that development is coming to an end. That means release! Great job staff (clapping' and sobbing) GREAT F***** JOB!!!! (crying uncontrolably and gasping for air)

Yeah! News! I'm so excited that this mod is almost done! I'm all ready to download it the second it comes out! Great work on the planets by the way!

Yah the planets look more detailed then I've ever seen (besides the movies of course).

When i looked at Alderaan it made me wanna live there lol.

Digging that galaxy and juggernaut. Question: the juggernaut will be an offensive weapon like in the unit descriptions, and not as in FoC, right?

I believe so Andrew. The galaxy is really well layed out. REALLY well. I can guarantee any skeptics (Hammerhead) that the wait is going to be worth it.

Well, I havent played UEaW, but we don't have any issues like that. The new planets will have descriptions.

Wouldn't expect any major issues with a mod made by you guys! How detailed will the units descriptions be?

sWEETNESS

Is my graphics card gonna stand these amazing pictures when in-game?(I have 6200GB card is it ok?)

They said that this mod just uses a lot of poly so if you can play EaW on medium then this mod will work for you.

I love the planet texture they look GREAT and yeah the units are ok to (no CIS units why WHY!!) I think I am going to be very happy when this mod comes out cause right now I am going to explode (no dreaming)if it takes any longer.

WOOT!! damn sweet bryant thanks for the update and the planet list

ofc btw CONGRATULATES ALPHA!

the planets looks awesome if u have it ready can you please post a pic of Coruscant?

grats AlphaRevan! and the planets, galaxy and juggernaut are looking totally amazing. I like the idea that you limited planets, because sometimes when I use z's 3.5 addon it lags in the full conquest since there is like 68 planets.

Congrates xXAlpha RevanXx, lol the pictures that says, Here is a picture of our Galaxy lol that made me laugh.

the planet list is AWSOME and the ingame pic are great also

and grate to alphareaven my all noobs fall before you

nice stuff. How big is the mod? over a GB? under?

it will be under 1GB so they've said atleast

HOLY ZOMGZORS!!!! nice planets!!!! this is probably going to be single greatest mod ever, but i'll probably have a heart attack when its released and the download window says "12 hours remaining" i mean, 1.33gb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O.O

The final build will be about 2gb uncompressed..

holy.. do want!!!! o.O

a mod this awsome I would expect aleast 1 gig or more

Thank the broadband gods I get 30mb+ a sceond. And revenger, what do you mean by 6200gb?

I am guessing compressed it will be like 600-900 mb's so it will take about 30mins to download for me YAY!!! I have ad that picture of the IA2 file properties to my pictures collection just so I can stare at it lol

it will be compressed. May even split it into 2-4 smaller easy to download files. Would anyone want a torrent?

I would, I have heps of g...... nvmind lol *clears throat*, but yes i would there good well some of them at least I know what I am downloading I do my research.

PS I love that new avatar bryant lol I would vote for him.

Hmm, split files are a good idea, easier for most file sharing websites. Torrent is also great though, i dont think it'd be good for the sites bandwidth to use an html exe download, especially the first couple days lol.

There is no way we would host it here. Even just a small amount of people downloading it would kill the server.

split files mean that you have to consolidate them later, which increases the chances of the technology incompetent whining about various issues. Torrent is a good idea, maybe along with a RAR and just a straight up download.

torrent would be an great idea in the beggining but it wont be so many distrubators 1year after release so it would take too long then.

That's why us fans can just do it now instead of in a year. Great strategy and don't delete the files.

Very nice. Very nice indeed. Oh, and congrats to Alpha.

the juggernaught appears to be almost photorealistic. well done.

I think a torrent would be good for the beginnig. I'll seed! Nice avatar Bryant.

Acually, i play both EaW and FoC at high detail graphics and it doesnt lags at all(well, a little bit in FoC when i turn on the Anti-Analysing)!!! And Dar, the 6200GB is my current graphics card. Hope youre both clear.


...Oh, and nice avatar Bryant

Never heard of a 6200GB graphics card, maybe a Geforce 6200.

I like the new bar up the top of the pages it looks great.

but if u delete it by mistake or someone who just have entered the world of modding one year after release cant take part of the best mod ever. Or if u get a virus on your computer and u have to wipe everything out to get it away. So i think it should be a normal download and a torrent.

btw nice new banner on the forum top

Still that normal download is the plan B for this mod. Revenger I never misunderstood I answered your question. Nice bar at the top of the page. Changes are happening showing that this mod deffinately isn't dead.

A mod? THis mod is still alive ?!?! That's a miracle !!!!

Turning down shadows really improves game performance. Almost as much as putting the resolution down.

It has aways been alive just news sometimes takes awhile to get posted.
