About:
Old Republic at War, a somewhat canon old republic mod. By no means designed to be accurate, by all means designed to my liking. I like to think I have high quality standards and I always try to improve the mod in all ways, graphical, gameplay related or otherwise.
Constructive critisism is appreciated and taken into consideration, though the final decision remains mine. No unit requests, I put a lot of effort into this project and try to do the best I can. I have very clear views on what I do and don't want in the mod, and don't like people trying to meddle with the direction in which the mod is going. I reserve the right to write back an angry response or flat out ignore you.
Warning: Mod author is known to have a very aggressive reaction to bullshit, please keep your bullshit level within acceptable terms at all times during the ride.
Occasionally I work on my other project, EAW-Re ( Moddb.com )
NOTE: From now on all comments that are in any way shape or form similar to these:
"Why does the file say ORAW.rar?"
"What do I do to install this?"
"My shortcut doesn't work"
"Hey I've got (insert random issue)"
Will be promptly deleted. All answers can be found by looking in the comment section, or reading the read-me.
If you enjoy what I'm creating and want to support me in making my mods, a great way to do so is to send me a tip! Tips help to keep me modding when otherwise I would have to spend my time working "real" jobs leaving me unable to do the work I love, which is modding. Paypal.com
Alright I've been putting off this Moddification for so long that at this point I'm not even sure if I'll ever finish it in a state that I'd be comfortable in releasing it. Moddification with a capital "M" since I have worked on it for so inmensely long, not just what you get to play, but especially what you will not get to play, all the cut content, constantly updated graphics and fully replaced or removed units, heroes and other content. Which makes we wonder why I still keep it on my harddrive instead of just releasing it, since it is mostly play ready. I'd say I'm sorry for focussing on my Re mod, which I honestly believe to be the more finished, higher quality and play-ready mod at this very moment, instead of finishing this, but I work on what I enjoy, and I don't think that that warrants an apology.
As of this moment, I am rewriting the (space) unit descriptions to match their updated stats (shield points, weapons, ect.). After this, I will try to fix some minor problems like a ships weapons not firing, sound files that are mixed, or perhaps that I have wanted to replace for a while but haven't done it yet.
I simpely do not know if I will ever find the motivation to finish this project. I have had a lot of fun working on it over the years. There's bad things and there's good things, the creative side of modelling paired with the pain of then having to UV your creation and making a texture for it. Writing code for a your new ship, and then see it not spawn any of its fighters ingame. And then finally seeing it work after a long evening of trying to find that one bug that was one missing line of code, that satisfaction is a great feeling.
So with that out of the way, this mod releases tomorrow.
Do not expect fully functional ground combat. Do not expect fully completed galactic conquest. Do not ask or complain or knock or my door for technical support. Those of you who've been following this for a while know what is and isn't done since I'm very transparent at what is or isn't in the media (both pictures and video).
I will most likely provide atleast 1 patch to the most blatant errors you can find, which I'd like you all to put in the downloads comments, if at all possible, in a constructive manner. Space combat is pretty much entirely finished. Thanks to EmperorNiko, who is sadly unable to mod now, ground combat exists and is mostly *playable*. Thanks to Adamsmith, a few new galactic conquest maps exist including Rakata, which doesn't have a space map yet since I haven't finished the starforge map. What is finished now or in the next day is what you get.
I will see you people tomorrow.

Little bit of a more up to date news article. Felt that that was required after so long of no new news articles.
Playable, unfinished, released. That is exactly what this is. If you have trouble installing the mod, read the Installation instructions in the archive...
Someone requested the Veragitor files so here they are.
Someone commissioned a Kodiak model, and we decided to free release it.
Knights of the old republic starship model pack. These models and textures are extracted from the knights of the old republic game directly. The pack...
Scorch17 Sized up the laser models a bit. If you want them to look the same, drop this in the xml folder and overwrite the old file.
Lasers! How to use the models: 1. choose the laser model names you'd like to use from the excel file 2. copypaste chosen models (.alo files) to your mods...
Is this mod still being worked on?
Please I beg you make a gog version of the mod or half of the people playing the game will be doomed to never enjoy this great mod! Thank you for making this mod!
Please help. I am having an issue where the map and everything is a bright green, like a green screen. I've tried redownloading the mod but the same thing happens. The vanilla game and other mods work fine. I don't know what else to do.
Delete the 'Shaders' folder in the mod.
That worked. Thank you so much.

i love the concept, but i don't think I like the idea of the empire having pre-clone wars tech. please let me know when you have improved on the concept.
If Geronimo ever returns to this mod, we need The Eternal Empire of Zakuul ASAP. Valkorion as faction leader and Vaylin aside her two brothers taking on the entire galaxy. "Zakuul is poised to be the greatest civilization the galaxy has ever seen!". For Zakuul and the Immortal Emperor!
I'm curious if you'll update this mod anytime soon I really enjoy the mod and would like to see it from a ground perspective maybe get some of the team members from EaW Remake and Republic at War to help you
the game its awesome but its there any recommendation because it crashes as soon as I move to another system. I mean, it just crashes randomly.
It may be problem with game version, my game somehow kills skirmish in most mods
