I've been following this mod for .. well, since I got Civ3 actually, and in all that time there is one question I haven't been able to find the answer to.
Forgive me for being terribly blunt - I see a lot of graphics being made, but who is actually making the game ??
And why hasn't he produced a working beta yet??
Personally I can live with Outer Space looking like Ocean and Jabba the Hutt looking like a german Panzer, as long as I get to play the mod....
Where is that working beta?

Me actually. The reason there isnt a working mod yet is because i have been gone for a while, before the mod was finished. Also, coming up with 150 units, and assigning them to their civs is also hard. The tech tree is nearly complete too. One thing i noticed when i went to open my bic yesterday though, it wasnt working. I hope that its not going to screw me and i have to start over, but im not sure.

Yeah - juggling that many units around isn't an easy feat - if you need any help piecing the mod toghether, let me know.
About the bic, if you started it a long time ago, you may have to revert to an earlier version to make it work, but there could also be something corrupted in it - if it keeps bothering you, send it to me and i'll take a look at it through a hex editor and see if I can figure out what's wrong.
Maybe you can release a working version with - oh say, half the units, just so we can get a feel of how it plays out, and maybe give some feedback.. that might also make it easier to figure out what to use the last half of the units for
Yes, I'm close to begging here - I've been waiting in anticipation for this almost a year now... pleeeeeeeaaaase

The units32 icon is the one that will replace the archer in my screenshot above, BUT what about the big empty square down below the list? That is what I was talking about. I cant seem to get it to load a pic of the wookie.

I am taking off for Colorado Springs in less than 2 hours, so I wont be checking in too often for a couple of days, and once we get there we have to find an ISP and get hooked up, so it may be a week or 2 or 3.

Hey coolcash, thanks for the Ewok unit. And I would love to have your help on unit creation. If you do battlegrounds units too, i can start doing some not in battlegrounds and work on other graphics. (after i finish my stormie)
BTW- That .bic file is corrupt, so alot of my info is lost. I personally dont have the time to re-write it all, so if someone else would like to take over that part of the mod, your more than welcome. I have a backup (uncorrupted) copy thats somewhat old, but contains much info if someone would like it. But as for me, I'd rather get lots of graphics done so lots of mods can be made.

tpasmall: If you could send me the bic file that's corrupted, I might be able to restore it - it's worth a shot anyway.
I'd love to take over the BIC and flesh out the mod, but my time is limited and I'm not a Star Wars expert (huge fan, yes, but expert, no), so I would probably need some help with it. Anyone?

The official st site has something called "databank" you can find much infomation about units there.

I fixed my wookie. It turns out that you cannot have a default animation that is one frame in size as that icon for the build screen is the second frame in the animation. I posted a fix in the wookie thread, but havent tested it.
Now I await tpasmall to see what unit i make next.

Hmmm, that will be alot more work, and considering i havent had any time to work on it myself lately, i cant promise it. Though now that Isak is the one working on .bic, its up to him.

It will be - I just can't make any real promises about when, at the moment. I think I'll make both versions simultaneously, but I may change my mind once I get started on the actual process 
It's always a lot easier in theory....

I finished the TIE Fighter
I plan to work on the Battle Droid, Mounted Battle Droid, and the Droid Assault Tank next. Expect them to be done in a few weeks.
