Yay, official thread! Had I seen the podracers before? Don't remember them.

Those podracers were made way back in 2001 by Ykkrosh, but this is the first time we're showing them in this mod.

We want to include as much of the good content from the GBH community as possible, in addition to the all new units.

Oh, I do remember that mod. There were some good units in there.

WoohooO!!!! We have a progress thread! And a ModDB page!? >_>

I know I still have the original banner I made a while ago around here somewhere... I'll have to create a new one from the looks of it, but the one you have right now looks great

I'm excited, it's out of the bag now!

Wicked cool.

I may be able to do a little 2D designing. Just to be a part of this would be brilliant.

Sure. If you can provide us with some quality artwork (preferably LucasArts quality), we can use whatever we can get.

Well, what do you need?

At this point, we need buildings, mechs, ships, and aircraft designs for the smaller SWGB civs such as the Naboo, Gungans, and Wookiees.

Will this mod include new singleplayer campaigns?

If everything goes as planned, there will be a new campaign for each civilization. In addition, the stock campaigns are being adjusted to support the new content.

Cool. Well let me know if you need any help with that, I'd love to contribute (and I can't mod for shit).

We'll definitely be needing some level designers as the mod finishes up. I would like to follow the route LucasArts took and have a different team design each campaign, but I doubt we'll ever have enough people for that task.

In the meantime:

Something's different, but I can't quite figure out what...

Are the speeders new?

Actually... they're old. Like, GB Beta old.

Where are you getting those old sprites?

The details behind these new/old images were posted in the last thread. But I guess everybody was too busy playing grab-ass with SEACKER to notice.

Neat little story behind these images. I contacted Michael Licht, one of the original artists for SWGB, Battle For Naboo, Jedi Power Battles, Bounty Hunter, and Republic Commando. He allowed us to use various pieces of the early rendered art that he worked on. Many of them were not used in the final game, such as the Academy (which I believe was originally the Monument) and that nifty-looking Spaceport pictured above.

I'm going to just draw up some military-looking buildings, probably Wookiee and Naboo. I'll leave the team to decide what they're for or whether to use them or not.

Oh, I did miss that. That is very cool.

Yep.

Alright. A big issue we're dealing with is new infantry units. We have very few new troop graphics available, and a huge friggen roster of infantry units to fill. If anybody has quality work to offer, please help us out.

Having these new infantry is essential in order for many of the new subfactions to properly function.

Erm... I did this a while ago and never got round to finishing it. It's a Rebel commando with a kind of heavy repeater.

That... actually looks pretty friggen awesome for a crop-mod. If you can touch up the gun and actually finish it, we can probably put it to use.

Also, I'd recommend that you upload any images in .PNG format to retain their quality.

Okay... wow, I didn't actually think it was that good.

What are we looking at for the infantry units needed? I've got some time on my hands and I can try my hand at making some units. It'd have to be purely graphical work though, cause I'm not very good at any of the other aspects of modding.

what kind of skills do you have for modding? 3d stuff, paint stuff, etc?
