Herald Report

If you have Star Wars news to report, drop me a line.

  • Site Reconstruction

    HRLD Site projects are About 2/5ths complete. More RP stuff on the HRLD site.

SWGN Reminder: Don't worry, SWGN staff! A note coming to all of

you soon.

  • Grant Of Arms Requests

Please don't request new GoA's or any updates. Ignore that link in your dossier. I'm not even looking at the mail if GoA is in

the title. The new system is getting put together, so please wait for that.

One question that came up was "are previous GoA owners getting remade or will everyone have to start over?" The answer is this:

Current GoA Holders will get processed first, then it'll open for all who qualify.

  • Custom Lightsabers

Nothing New.

RotS Box Office Update

Box Office Mojo is reporting that

Revenge of the Sith cleared the 4-day holiday weekend with over 50 million dollars, topping the charts as the number one film of

the weekend. It beat out the Adam Sandler remake of The Longest Yard and the animated Madagascar by only about 8 million each

(they came in 2nd and 3rd place, respectively). Sith also wrecked the rest of the top ten, bringing in over 28 million more than

the films that ranked 4th through 10th combined.

Collectibles and Toys: LEGO

StarWars.Com featured an item that is long overdue in their Lego line...The Sandcrawler


Shadow Academy Server revamped!

Spears has made some changes to the SA server. It's running JA+ (you can get the client version here). You don't need to have it,

but without it you will not have access to the updates it provides.

SWBF2 Gets Praise!

Thanks to Shadow for the news.

So much bad stuff going on for me... I'm not even in the right mindset to make this report interesting. I do have to share the

one good thing I've heard/seen this week. Dark Hunter sent me pics of the lightsaber hilt he's making for me. It's great!

Here's a comparison of the original 3D image I made years ago to the machined aluminum hilt he's made. Keep in mind I

reassembled the real version from three different photos, so if it looks bent or whatever it's because I was screwing with the

photos trying to get everything to line up.

Actually, to run the server in such a way required that it be run un Pure, meaning it would allow anyone to use any outside mods they had in their JA folder, which would lead to bad things happening. At my suggestion, Spears removed the client side plugin as well as the time limit. Now the server is Pure and anyone can join. The client plugin will now do nothing for those who have it on the SA server. All you really needed was to have more than one duel at a time and reset shield/health.
