I know, we haven't had an update for a long time. This is part one of 2 updates.

The recent apparent inactivity was due to the team being extremely busy trying to finish the minimod, and some other stuff.

A quick update on the minimod first. There are still a few maps and skins that need rfinishing up, as well as a bit of coding and some icons.
Once we take care of those, it will be sent out to our beta testers for about a week of testing and bug fixing, after which it will be availible for download. It will include 4 new Galactic Conquest maps, 8 new planets and redone planet maps of 8 other planets. A full unit list will probably be posted in part 2 of this update.

Here is a list of the beta testersthat have been chosen for testing the minimod:
Slornie
Darth Dino
Videoteck
InsaneGolfer
Starwarslovr23

Next off, we have some renders.

First, we have Delta Squad. This will be an extremely useful (and cool) Republic hero when R3 comes around.


Next comes the ARC trooper, a  Republic minor hero.


Then we have the AAC-1. This is tank for the Rebellion.


Now there is the UT-AT. This is one of the Republic's Artillery units.


Then we have one of the CIS's most powerful heroes, and his bodyguards.


And finally, our new Venator model. This was given to us by GU, which I have been made leader of due to the resignation of the old leader.


Last, we have to say goodbye (at least temporarily) to Ben, AKA Grand Admiral Makati. Prior to his resignation, caused by a homework overload, he was one of the coleaders of the mod. He has been with the mod since day 1, and will be missed.

Part Two of the Well Hello There update:
http://thrawn.gamesm...php?topic=169.0

[Darth Arbiter]

We have moved, yet again.

This time it was due to an employee at gamesmod wiping gamesmod off the intarweb while the server was being rebuilt. We have found new hosting along with our sister mod, Galactic Uprising at

gutr.swrebellion.com

Jez Talk about bad luck.

Update: My Friends Called me Roger
As much as I'd like to have a link to the minimod for you right now, I can't say that I do. We are very, very close to completion, which brings up this next point.

We are currently short of our beta tester needs. This is due to the dissappearances of Videoteck, SWLovr and DragonShadow. Also, InsaneGolfer recently joined the team as a coder, so congrats to him, as well as the rest of the team's condolences. Therefore, we will again be searching for one more beta tester, though we will not be picking right away.

We also have a few more pictures for you.
We start off with Commander Cody, a Republic hero.

This was modelled by Dr. Nick

Next comes the B-1 Battle droid, also modelled byDr. Nick.


And finally, the CIS scout bike, the STAP, again modelled by Dr. Nick (don't worry, there will be a droid on it).


We have recieved some complaints that we seem to be focusing only on Fall of the Republic (AKA R3). This is not true. Dr. Nick is mainly focusing on the Fall of the Republic, though he is modelling some Imperial Civil War (AKA R2) and Empire of the Hand (AKA R1). Meanwhile, I am focusing mainly on Empire of the Hand, specifically the... Empire of the Hand, actually. RedCommodore should be returning to the team before the 20th and helping me finish off the R1 models.

For those who haven't heard, we are adding another release. This release contains.... wait and see  . However, I will tell you that it contains three playable factions and Admirals already know what it is, and what they are. Don't worry, this will not interfere at all with the development of Empire of the Hand, Imperial civil war, and Fall of the Republic though it will tie up some loose ends and expand on R1-3 material.

Lastly, exactly one month from today the mod will have it's first birthday, so check the forums for that.

Happy 11 months and counting,
The Thrawn's Revenge Team

Wow, what a sexy mod, I would seriously consider downloading this mod and playing it.

[slornie]

looking good - im glad to hear that there is going to be a droid on that STAP - it would look a bit odd moving round on its own

[Arc Haru Ceeza]

Haru don't make any moderator or myself give you a warning for misbehaving.

Videoteck did the right thing an PM a moderator. If you have a problem do not attack other members that is never productive.

Please try to expand your vocabulary or try adding some thought showing something other than "good job" that tends to be regarded as spam. Videoteck was once on TR team, I would recommend showing him some respect.

[Arc Haru Ceeza]

me sorry and dont worry i  dont think i will be getting in to fights i dislike fightsand realy am sorry for the way i acted
and i am getting along with videoteck now anyhow
p.s. lets stay on topic

[sh0td0wn]

Is the mod going to be based on the original Thrawn trilogy by Zahn or the duology, Hand of Thrawn?

Well... I think many people think I'm like Arc Haru Ceeza with the random posts in topics lol..

[Admiral_Antilles]

Im pretty sure its based on the trilogy

[Darth Arbiter]

It's based on everything that ever happened to Thrawn, and a bit of other stuff.

[Darth Arbiter]

Yep, that's right. Today the mod turns one (1) year old.

As in just about every other update, we will be showing pictures, but first we have a few things to mention.

First off the minimod. The minimod will only only be linked to from our forums for about a week, this way we can make sure we have everything rooted out, and then on the fourteenth I will submit it to filefront and post the link in the other threads we have. Keep in mind this is just a minimod, not the whole thing. Many skins and models in this release will change before the final release of Empire of the Hand. Before you start downloading, I suggest you finish reading the update.
If you encounter any bugs, please post them in the tech support forums.
Link to the thread with the link to Thrawn's Revenge v0.5

Next, a bit of a Thrawn's Revenge: Empire of the Hand development status update:
We are nearly done modelling and rigging for this release, with coding and voiceovers following close behind. However, skinning and mapping is going much slower due to our lack of skinners and mappers. We aim to have this version in beta stage near the end of the summer, assuming we get at least one mapper and skinner (Do not quote me on this, it's just an estimate).

Now, the renders...

First off we have the CIS Munificient.

(The CIS logo and stripes will be done as team colour)

Next is the CIS Recusant.


Next is the Republic AT-RT


Now the Death Star Prototype


Eclipse


Wild Karrde


Eta 2 Actis Light Interceptor


Errant Venture


Nebula Class Star Destroyer




That's all for now,
Yub Squadron
