[ad27499]

thanks for the biweekly guys...

Keep up the fantastic work.

I would like to offer a big heart-felt hug to all who both develop and participate in this universe. Without all of you, the experience we call SWG would be nothing more than a memory.

[mikefournier]

You guys can not possible hear this enough. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your time, effort, patience, brilliance, hope and vision. This project is so important to so many people. I just learned of this a few months ago, so I can clearly remember the skip my heart made. Thank you.

[Vlada]

Keep up the good work.

[Jusazn]

=D. Woo... XD I can't believe its been this long.

Yeah I got no old experience with Pre-CU SWG really this is sort of my first time playing it. I can't effectively comment on what SOE did or didn't do because I'm really outside of the fence as far as people who were effected by their actions go.

What I can say is this: What you guys have done here is pretty amazing.

[Valmin]

good update

[fixit6]

Awsome job as usual.

Blue Frog Sightings

This little tibit is interesting, was everything that was offered right before the last wipe on it? ie. did people not only get speeders but also 80% res all except stun-LS comp/padded armors?

Probably to hard to catch the guys with speeders since they will most likely never use them around people. :o

[Lobreeze]

There was a group of like 20 people talking about seeing someone on a speeder standing outside of Cnet Starport one day.

Great update. Some very good information about client development.

[Kayliaah]

* Modifying Models that SOE has made
* Increase resolution of the client
* Allow atmospheric flight
* Allow the client to work in 3 dimensions on the ground.
* Changing or replacing the artwork or items already within the client with player customized artwork.

Wth.

We can't modify models ourselves right now.

I thought opening options.cfg with notepad and changing screenWidth=X and screenHeight=X did the trick?

Atmospheric flight O_o, there used to be a mod available that did this I think, saw on youtube.
Although I wonder how it could give the player any advantage, being able to see above the cantina? Meh.

3D client really? It must be fun.

I don't think I get the last one. O_o

3.11. You will not perform AFK camping of a spawn, NPC or cave. Camping is defined as repeatedly hunting a lair, spawn or NPC in succession. TC allows a single account and multiple connections, therefore using multiple toon instances to create a chain of characters to effect and "out damage" other players is considered AFK camping. There is only one toon actually operated by a single player and all successive toons are considered AFK camping. All toons in such instances are subject to disciplinary actions. Obviously, this camping rule does not restrict all multiple game instances. For example, it is acceptable for two game instances to be operated by one player where one instance is an AFK crafter sampling ground resources and the other is a combat character that is being played At The Keyboard.

Yay... after three posts I'm glad someone actually saw it.
I was begining to think that nobody cared.

The LaunchPadEnhanced is not the SOE client. It has become a bit confusing so we are going to change the skin in LPE version 2.0. To clarify, the LPE is simply a tool that has a few extra functionalities such as the skill calculator, IRC chat functions and the ability to correct some launch issues automatically. The LPE is highly recommended as it takes a great deal of the burden of setup troubleshooting off of staff. You can still run the SOE client directly from its resident folder.

Whaaat?

People are so dumb that the skin needs to be changed so there is no confusion between both launchers? Stupid stupid stupid people.

This is lame, the launcher was the first thing that reminded me of SWG, what a waste.

Will the Classic and JTL skins be removed? I hope not.

Blue Frog Sightings

The Blue Frogs made a brief escape from their enclosures and took off for the wilds of TC Nova. They have been dutifully hunted down and detained by the Galactic Security Force for distributing stolen goods. Anyone who obtained goods in the form of vehicle deeds is asked to turn those vehicles in to the nearest Galactic Representative (your closest GM). Anyone using such deeds is subject to detainment. Using vehicles on TC Nova is considered an exploit currently.

/extremedoublefacepalm

At least you guys can turn that into some sort of funny event lol. <_<

GM's will have a good time playing spies and looking into all 600-800 inventories to track down these people, good luck.




Lol in any case, nice update and good job Serp.


Yes I remember the 15th of November, besides SWG, what a ****ty day!

Heh, it bothered me too, I jumped at the chance to get that error corrected in this update.

What was being clarified was that SWGEmu will not host or officially take part in distributing a client or client files that match any of those examples, not that its not possible to.

SWGEmu does not endorse client modifications nor allow client modifications to be distributed on any SWGEmu networks.

Thanks to everyone for the hard work and dedication

Yeah it's clear!

I don't know it just looked like it was some sort of new rule, stating that modding was forbidden, everything has been really confusing in the past weeks.

Oh well, it's only SWGEmu, so that doesn't change anything.
A special SWGEmu modding forum could've been great at release, oh well it's too bad. :/

Thanks. O_-
