In Operation Shadow Hand, if I am playing as the New Republic, is there any way I can get Luke back from the Dark Empire?

Nope, Luke's a Dark Side-only hero for that campaign, sorry.

See here for hero locations.

Thanks for the link, definately will help in my conquest of the galaxy. Now, one more question: With which upgrade does Leia move on from that sporting blaster and gets a lightsaber?

[Ghostrider]

Don't think we've covered that one yet. That's for a post-OSH timeline.

[Phoenix Rising]

Yeah, Leia would need a new model for that. Same for Kyle and anyone else you're hoping to stick a lightsaber on.

Hmm, I could've sworn she was at least a Jedi Apprentice by OSH.

Okay, I have 3 Gigs of RAM, a GeForce 4000 and a Core2 Quad Q6600. I use Windows Vista 32Bit

If I play Outer Rim the game gets jerky and laggy when I put my mouse over a planet with stuff on it. It also takes a helluva long time to load. Whilst I wouldn't call it completely game breaking it makes everything too jerky and slow to be very enjoyable.

Is it my computer or some other problem? This is not unique to 1.2, btw, but to 1.1 as well, and possibly some older versions.

You computer is quite slow to be playing a large campaign like Outer Rim. You'll have better luck with the smaller, more focussed campaigns (except for Operation Shadow Hand, the gargantuan fleets in that make it the laggiest campaign).

WELP that settles it. Hopefully I will be getting a new computer halfway through this year.

(...) the lag is barely noticeable on GFFA and completely nonexistent on IR, and the AI actually plays the game (...)

Could you please write specs of your PC to make some insights for me what computer should I buy for the mod ?

Looking at Gamefront.com I feel that mod is rather popular now

4 gigs of RAM, ATI Radeon HD 4800, Intel Core2 Duo E8400 3.00 GHz CPU and Windows Vista 64-bit. Hope that helps.

[Phoenix Rising]

I have the E8400 as well. It's a couple years old, but works well for FoC. I'm kind of skeptical about the newer CPUs with onboard graphics, seems like a needless redundancy.

they don't really affect it negatively and are typically very good even when using discrete. With the new nvidia optimis you can switch between the onboard and discrete automatically to save power when your not running anything intense. All in all they're good little chips.

If I may ask what is it that is slowing me down: My processor?

The processor certainly contributes most to GC performance, but your graphics card is also rather out of date. That will mostly impact land and space tactical battles.

Actually I rarely have GPU problems. I actually forgot specifically what 4000 series it is, but it aint bad, I can run EaW at high detail in land or space tactical with few problems unless there's ungodly swarms of units, and even then it is managable.

My main issue is GC lagging...mainly when I mouseover my own planets.

I must say that I formerly believed this mod was amazing, but today I realized just how amazing this mod was after getting a new computer which, compared to my previous one, is a god. I can play GFFA with very little lag, (slight freezes but hardly noticable compared to my former system) and I can run at highest graphics (so far, only tested this with a raid on mygeeto with 2 stormtrooper squads. Watching infantry move on my old system was like watching paint dry.) The battle on the main screen runs exceptionally well, faster than my old system managed in the least stressful activities. Overall, I'm now able to fully enjoy this, and I'm more thankful that this mod and mod team exist.

Thank You!

(sobs at the need to clean this room tomorrow)

That's great, Balac .

Two questions and one request guys:

First, if I have a hero on the planet's surface, does his bonus affect space battles? (For example you have General Dodonna on Yavin 4, would the starfighters battling in space above the planet have the benefit of his leadership?) Or do they have to be present in the actual battle to have an effect?

Second, if a hero is killed are they gone for good? Can they be rebuilt at one of their home locations, or is dead dead?

Finally, do you think we could add Tatooine to Obi-Wan's buildable planet list? it maybe fits with cannon better than having to take Coruscant in order to build him! I'd do that, I just feel killing off the Emperor at the start of the game (when Coruscant will be at it's most vulnerable to raids) might somewhat kill the obsessively cannonical game I'm trying to play LOL. Is there a way I can edit his registry entry to do this for myself?
