We are currently seeking new developers, as some members of our current team have recently retired.  If you are looking for a team to work with and know C++ (or even C#/.NET/Delphi/VB/etc - we always have room for tool developers!) please send us a short resume of your relevant skills and experience.  We would like to see what you’ve got and if you can help us bring Pre-CU back to life.

For the community: you all will be seeing a new website coming in the next few weeks.  The new site looks much better than what we have now, and contains many more details about the project, the team, and what we are working on at currently. We will also be hosting a community forum for members to chat about SWG:ANH and so that we can keep track of all your questions and answer them in one location. We decided to do this because with all the communities following us it was getting to difficult reading forums all over the web and trying to answer you all. This brings everything into one location.  More details about this will follow.

Now that the summer is almost over we are getting back to our normal hammering away on the code…we hope you are looking forward to the coming updates as much as we are!

Ramakin joined us last month, and is working on coding new tools.
Lordcorm, Meanmon13, and Nelk joined last Friday; they were all members of SWG Pre-CU. Lordcorm will be working on our core, Meanmon13 doing reversing and some coding, and Nelk doing reversing and tool coding.

You can find out more about each of them from their bios.

SWG:ANH prides itself on the level of it’s research and detail oriented, methodical approach to building the emulator. We want an emulator we’ll be proud to play on, with as complete and accurate emulation of pre-cu as possible. If you are an experienced coder or feel you have other qualifications which would allow you to directly contribute, please send a brief resume of your skills to webmaster (at) swganh.com — we are always on the look out for new devs!   Additional information can be found on the “How to help out” page.

Just a small tidbit this time around, demonstrating the attention to detail on the ANH server in replicating the original game…

Anyways Concentrate & listen, and we hope you enjoy this short clip…

We’re in need of your assistance with some data gathering, for anyone willing to help out, can you please ZIP / RAR up your \profiles folder from your old PRE-NGE SWG game and upload it to the following URL:

Profiles Upload

We need to get as many old (Pre-NGE) profiles as possible.

Thank you in advance!
SWGANH

So strap yourselves in, and enjoy the ride…

Hyperspace…

Figured we’d start off the week with a short clip from the ANH TC, featuring XP Gains, Skill Training as it once was, as well as some of the behind the scenes features that may be difficult to notice, but which happen in the background, features like proper Skill Mod assignments, Money Deductions…

Hope you enjoy the XP & Training video…

(Note: Moved video to stage6.com thanks to Starko, stage6 retains the proper aspect ratio, although I left the original filefront link there as well, for any folks that have issues downloading or viewing the video on Stage6)

Crafting hit the Test Center a few days ago, and is actively being put through it’s paces by the amazing QA teams. HTX’s dedication and hard work over the last two months has made this possible, along with tremendous efforts from Schmunzel last year as she laid the foundations by thoroughly reversing and test implementing the crafting systems. Screenshots of this are available on our gallery pages.

At this time not all items can be crafted. This is mainly due to the database changes which took place during the design of the server code, and we will be working to update all the items to the current design. As more items are converted they will be added to our QA server for further testing.

I’m sure the server community forums will have plenty of feedback from the QA teams reporting as to the current state of progress with crafting as well as the other recently added features, so please check there for more details.

Where to start, it’s been a long while since we’ve done an official update to the community, so we’ll try and cover everything that’s happened.
Once again, Welcome back! We hope you enjoy the new look and simplicity of the new design.

We now have banking under development, but haven’t pushed it to our TC yet as we are still working on the safety deposit box and tipping.

Friendslist/ignore list are on TC currently being tested.

All starting prof schematics are in and currently being tested for accuracy with the others prof schematics coming in the next few weeks. We had schematic for starters in for a while but something was missing that caused them to bug. Well last weekend I made a big discovery that has finally solved that issue they are all working perfectly.

All pilot trainers are in and being checked for accuracy.

Alot of internal wiki work being done (ready is a monster when it comes to wiki work, not sure he sleeps).

Scripting is currently in development by Jack and Ketu.

A few db bugs have been fixed nothing real big just facing directions of a few npcs and bank terminal was a little off on its facing direction.

NPC posture is in TC, NPCs now sitting in chairs in cantinas and so forth.

Bazaar coding is about 90% complete we should see this on TC with a few weeks.

So all code progress not alot of flashy progress you can see, but its being made.
