They said hopefully, but they didn't promise anything, shouldn't take to long though.

Wow, that's still pretty fast. Thanks for the info lil_dude :)

guys, i can tell you that this IS a legit thing happening. i have seen the light and it is good. they are talking about releasing a CU emulator for the time being to both tide the player base over AND to better understand how the Pre-CU files work. i encourage anyone who is interested and even those with their doubts to go to www.swgemu.com) and check them out

This whole thread is about it dude........ We know.

Well... It's been a week. Any news yet?

heh who cares!

smugglers are smuggling on tc right now!

smugglers are smuggling on tc right now!

Huh? lol. How do I start playing it?

you have to redload test center. also there's a blue frog in bestine so ya won't have to level at all.

I mean how to a download the test center?

open launchpad, click test center it's on the bottom next to full scan.

wait your talking about the Test Center on SWGEmu right? If so I have no idea how to even download the launch pad.

No he is talking about the real swg also jsut a fyi the swgemu site is closed due to idiots on the boards.

Are they quiting the job?

I have no idea.. I sure hoep not.. I've been looking forward to this forever.. :'(

figure it out...I said test center, which would obviously be working on the unmodded version of galaxies....i'm freaking surprised this all is not on the main page. Smuggler and Officer expertise is on Test Center, GCW revamp is on Test Center, Player Bases are back on Test Center (don't think you can place em tho, you can destroy existing ones with a group), Double Toolbar is back, and there is a resizable Radar, as well as smuggling system in place for Smugglers.

Oh, ok. Sorry dude.

i'm surprised this isn't on our main page yet. :(

This basically means that with the SWGEmu server, we only need to pay the Station subscription, right?

No you dont have to pay anything, you can just download the client from www.starwarsgalaxies.com) and install the emu files, simple as that :P

This is what you need..

Can you have SWG emu and normal SWG installed at the same time without any problems?

Can you have SWG emu and normal SWG installed at the same time without any problems?

should be able to, since the EMU has a seperate launch pad, but they recommend that if you have an active SWG account in the actual game, to make a seperate install for the EMU.

I heard rumours about they are not gonna make the cu emu anyway,is that true?

Yes it appears that they will not be making a CU emu, but they have released all the files necessary to code one, but they won't be doing it.

Pheew, some other guy will probably code it then hehe.

Is there already an indefinite date, like month and year?

No they won't give any info that they can promise, although they did it with the CU emu >.> well I'm glad they even wanna share it with the rest of the community anyway.

I have a question,

When this ends, and a guy connects to a server using the emu, will he be able to interact with people not using it?

What do you mean? He can only talk with people who's on his server.

For example, i'm using the emulator, and i choose the server Europe-Infinity because a friend of mine plays there, but will i be able to see and interact with him?

ummm yes, it'd be like playing on a normal SOE server, only with less people probably. Now that being said there are lots of SWGEmu servers so we'll see how thin or thick the populations are, but anyone playing on one server can interact with everyone else on that server.

Hey, i have another question...

Since the EMU is Pre-CU, then for a Jedi, there is Perma-Death AND how do you become a Jedi in Pre-CU? Hologrinding?

It differs from server to server

Well, can you explain a bit?

Hey, i have another question...

They haven't decided on any of that yet, they probably won't even do it, they may leave it up to individual servers to implement jedi or not. At the current patch they are using(past publish 9 atleast), the Jedi system in place was the force village, but because of the time(or lack there of) required to unlock in this sytem they may not use it or change it. Even before they put this in, perma-death was gone and you just had skill loss. I'm pretty sure though they will scale attaining jedi to the power of them. The stronger they are, the harder it will be to obtain it.

Back in the day I have seen 1 jedi strike through 10 people in Coronet before having to flee, after the village jedi became more common and weaker, it was better when it was dangerous to level but when you got there you were a true alpha-class.

Just heard about the SWGEMU and tried to go to the swgemu.com site but looks like it's down for some reason or another. Is this still gonna happen or does anyone really know? I'd love to play a pre-cu or even a cu SWG.

It's still happening :) site is just temporarily down.

Alright since this hasent been updated in quite a while ill update it.
November 15th the emu team released a video showing their history up to current date and it is quite awsome http://www.swgemu.com/nov15-2006.php) enjoy :D

Alright, I have a question. Will I be able to have an existing regular galaxies account aswell as an Emu account?

Yes they are seperate teh swgemu though is in no way supported by SOE you could get banned if they find out so just dont go around saying i play the emu and you should be fine.

Core 1 is complete, core 2 has been scrapped, and they're building core 3 as we speak. They've got pretty much everything running and working, such as: bazaars, combat, leveling, and almost done with housing, professions, and shuttles.

If we're lucky, we might even have a beta by Christmas.

Visit truegalaxies.com for more info. :vsd:

might be fun. if the trader revamp sux, swgemu may be what i end up going for.

I'm sure it'll be a success!

I think I made a blood oath to never touch Galaxies ever again, but I was really bored, so I gave JTL a go a few days ago. I think I played it for less than an hour. I didn't like the fact that I could outright select "Jedi." I could swear they were all wiped out during the Purge. And the space controls felt like they were trying to copy freelancer, but failed miserably.

One thing I did sort of liked was the way I fired my blaster or swung my sword with each click of the mouse.


In the end, I remember that I enjoyed myself with the original version of the game, so when SWGemu gets done, I'd gladly give it a try.

I didn't like the fact that I could outright select "Jedi." I could swear they were all wiped out during the Purge. And the space controls felt like they were trying to copy freelancer, but failed miserably.Wow, I didn't realize they had sunk that low. I played Galaxies a year or 2 ago and I didn't like it, I got it right after they released the dreaded combat upgrade.

Looks like i need to dig my install out :D

Just an update for anyone who's missed it.

WWW.SWGEMU.COM)

Has had their first successfull tentative stress test of their beta core3 server.

Test server specs
1.6 Core2 Duo/2 GB ram/100 mbit line

For 1 machine running the whole galaxy, all planets, they were able to get 278ppl on in just the dant mo alone,

Now that is not the limit thats only how many people had the time avalable to log into the test server. sadly i was in class so i missed the test as did many, so they are having another stability test to see if they can get more players online.

in order to try get their maximum numbers im posting the next test time here which is easily viewable from their website.

Time
5:30PM EST. THIS FRIDAY FEBRUARY 23RD

Please i do remind you to read the updates section and FAQ before posting or asking questions, yes i know its tedious but there are some less that upstanding ppl who play and some wont be as eager to help newbies to the emu.

DONT PM THE DEVS
they will be extreamly busy analyzing the server and code to make sure they learn as much as they can from the stress tests.

their IRC has a limit of 500 users but they will post updates on the forum's as to server status.

Swgemu irc channels

if you have Irc installed just paste the address into your web browser, if you dont have irc google it and choose any client u like.

Server IP
Dont ask for the IP, It is written in the MOTD (Message of the Day) for the #Test Channel at swgemu's Irc.
Server status is also in the MOTD.

Good luck and i hope to see many of you there and online for the test.

Just a word of caution
There are many users in the irc who have short tempers and/or are not exactly friendly to new ppl, if someone flames you for being a "nubb, or newb" PLEASE just shrug them off no matter how much of an ass they are, flame wars don't help the testing process, and often leave newcomers with a bad taste of the emu team. the dev's are nice people and the forums are modded by community members and not dev's , this way the devs can focus their time on coding the emu so its not the devs fault if some smacktard flames you for being new, some ppl are just looking for a fight.

well, here is another SWGemu site:
http://www.truegalaxies.com/)

I'm not joining or anything, because I'm staying legal!

Lucas Arts are encouraging it, which is interesting.

Well, as long as we are playing every month its all good i guess. Even if not, we did pay for the original game. (I assume you don't pirate it, cause I did not)
