Star Wars: Rebellion [SWR]

Server Move Planned - Temporary Stable Hosting Available to Clients During Trans

We have a planned server migration / hardware upgrade coming up for the SWRebellion Network. We will eventually be retiring the Lando server and have the opportunity of christening a new server. We will keep all webmasters updated as best we can. This will likely be a three-month project with variable downtimes. We have partnered with Eagle Hosting to offer all clients with smaller websites 3 months (or however long our migration takes) of free cPanel hosting (different from our Plesk Hosting) on a Production Server. This is a limited time opportunity, and I highly recommend it until we are able to get up and running again, especially for those of you with smaller websites (traffic doesn't matter - only disk space does) as we have secured only a certain amount of total shared disk space for the migration period. For those of you interested in this opportunity, please
contact me immediately via email stratus at swrebellion dot net with your domain name and desired password. Please note you must already have a registered domain name and be a client of the SWRebellion Network to qualify. You may register a domain name for $15 at http://domains.swrebellion.com.

Please take advantage of this opportunity as it is of no cost to you. Only the domain will cost you if you don't have one or it is time to renew, you may keep your current domain registrar if you choose, though we recommend you transfer your domain to us at the address listed above.

Those of you with websites larger than 2 GB of disk space will need to remain on the Lando server until the transition to the new server (yet-to-be-named) takes place.

The move is long overdue and necessary, and we expect to have php 5.3 on the new server (what everyone has been asking for).

IRC Back up & Network Changes

I would like to appraise you of some changes in the StarWars-IRC Network (SWIRC). The network is owned and maintained by Jeff Turkstra. The SWRebellion Network, which assumed management of the network in late 2011 has returned management to its primary owner, though Jeff aka Luke has agreed to allow our staff to be on his network staff. The Star Wars IRC Network now has 2 IRC servers in different physical locations. Bespin, which is owned and operated by Luke (Jeff Turkstra) and Thrawn which is owned and operated by the SWRebellion Network (owned by Evaders99 and managed by Stratus et. al.). We have moved back to UnrealIRCD and IRC Services. Services will be controlled by Jeff but we have been granted access to administer them as well. All network issues that should arise should be addressed to staff at starwars-irc dot net. The appropriate person will respond depending on the issue that occurs.

We'd like to thank Jeff Turkstra for his overwhelming support and understanding for our own server troubles, and his assistance. We are pleased to be linked to his network and once again be operating reliably.

Sins of a Galactic Empire - 2.0E RELEASE

Here it is: the biggest release for Sins of a Galactic Empire 2.0E, the Star Wars total conversion mod for Sins of a Solar Empire.

Check it out, downloads on our Moddb page

This is all thanks to Lavo, NovaCameron, sloosecannon - contributions by Warb_Null, GoaFan77, many others. Thanks guys!

Two new racees, lots of abilities and bug fixes, more maps and scenario. Pretty epic release.

And looking forward, more frequently release of patches, hopefully Rebellion expansion compatibility and more.

For those in the beta test: you always get the most frequent development version. You do not need to redownload to play (although if you have a friend using 2.0E, you may want to do so to match checksums)

While none of the developers get paid, our SWRebellion server helps host our website, subversion repository, bug tracker, and other development tools. Consider donating to our Paypal (Paypal donate button is in middle-right of the page)

Database glitch... SWR site and forums

Seems we had a database glitch on the SWR database, resulting in the restoration of an older backup. This is being worked on.

So far, no other sites seem to be affected, just this one.

EDIT: As of now, the forums are running fine off the older backup from June. Sorry for the trouble

Sorry, Server issues!

Sorry for the server issues guys! Yes, we had a hardware failure. Fortunately we have all our backups, but it took a while to get a new server reimaged. We're still in the process of reinstalling and reconfiguring.

If things aren't working correctly - we know.

We'll get everything running ASAP

Republic at War mod RELEASED!

Republic at War is the Clone Wars era mod for Empire at War. It's been a long time coming, with hundreds of new models, units, maps, and more.

Congrats to z3r0x and everyone involved. (Note: tons of Eville Jedi's models are used too)

Go check it out at Imperial Assault II

(what started as IA2 got merged into RaW)

Update for Sins of a Galactic Empire

I guess the frontpage news hasn't been updated in a while... so I'll try to keep this updates on various mod news...

Sins of a Galactic Empire mod (for Sins of a Solar Empire) has a lot of new stuff in the beta.

Lots of new planets, research, abilities, AI improvements, balancing issues, graphics, and more.

Thanks to Lavo and NovaCameron for all the hard work!

If you're not yet joined the beta, please apply here. (Yes Mantis seems to be back up, so it will be a requirement again)

Stealing eye candy from NovaCameron... yep, those are moons...
