- Star Wars Galaxies Emulator has come a long way. I'll have to make another video talking about the Galactic Civil War Zone, but this is just a quick update to let people know what's been going on recently in SWGemu land.

Thanks for the update Rommi. Like most, RL getting in the way of playtime but eventually will return.
Ah, my source for everything SWG. Thanks for the video!
I haven't played SWG since what I lovingly referred to as "retail beta", the first few months after the game officially released, where everything was terribly busted, and you couldn't even group up to quest or kill anything, as there was a massive bug in the party system that nobody got any credit for kills or was able to loot anything if part of a party.
I was in university at the time and spent my time as a performer, getting max ranks in dancing and musician.
I had an extremely elaborate series of macro scripts that with a single press of a button would start a dance routine, filled with banter, emotes, and flourishes, that would run for about 30 minutes, which I would let run while studying for my university classes.
You can do that now also.
@@ThePerfectStormGaming - the macro scripts, or the bugs?
@@Starhawke_Gaming all of the above. The macros and scrips are very common. There’s even completely afk doc buffing now.
@@ThePerfectStormGaming - if it is so simple now, then it isn't really as impressive, right?
Back then the macro editor was extremely limited in scope, but I figured out that you could open up the macro scripts with Notepad and edit them externally, and the internal parser would allow scripts roughly 50 times larger than the in-game macro editor allowed...
Then via the keybinding interference, I discovered the commands necessary to call a macro, which was possible to include inside another macro, making it possible for a single script to call other scripts multiple times, so via script 1, I could repeatedly call all the rest of the scripts over and over again.
The only things that the original script parser didn't like was any sort of recursion, which would cause it to throw a parsing error, and didn't have any sort of looping structure, so there was an ultimate limit to the amount of commands that could be run before it finally ran out.
This level of complexity is why players thought I was actually there giving the performance, targeting them with emotes, mentioning them by name, switching dances, swapping between dancing and playing instruments... But it was all part of the macro.
I actually made quite a lot of tips from players for my performances, and some guys having crushes on me... But I had to let them know I had no idea who they even were, and that all the interactions between us was just part of a macro script, and not directed at them personally. 😅
@@Starhawke_Gaming round about what version of the game are you referring to? If you’re referring to pre cu I hate to burst your bubble but looping macros were a thing back then. As were the macros for inviting, tells targeting the last tell and looping the macros which is what’s used now. You unfortunately didn’t know the commands like most didn’t back then. I’m talking. 2003-2005 which is how long pre cu lasted.
SWG is probably the first early access game released
What’s the player base like currently?
I like star war
how can u become jedi on swg emu
Good luck with that
Come on over to SWG Legends. We have ten times the population of SWGEmu, and a hundred times more content.
And an entire staff team full of people that cram 🏳️🌈💩 into the game, the launcher, the forums, the discord and censor/ban anyone who points out the obvious bias towards it. The player base on legends has fallen from 1800 logged on when I started playing down to 900-1000 (within one year). Now divide that by 3 to get the actual number since legends lets you have 3 characters logged on at once all the time. The real number of players is around 300-350 people. The games economy is dried up. No one is spending credits because everyone already has everything. They banned all the afker’s for farming and most of the pvper’s for “homophobia”. Legends is dying. They’re more worried about pandering to the 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🗑️ than actually taking care of the game itself.
Yeah that might be a step forward but unfortunately until they change the only one char online at a time, it’s just going to stay a dead server
Totalitarian Government. So many better ways to enjoy the game on other servers less you don't mind the Gavin Newsom style leadership. They take care of their own.
SWGEmu has been dead for quite some time now. It will go back to being the same as it was before Basilisk got wiped. The same group of folks will join up and camp the Acklay 24/7 and various other high-end mobs. Same shit, different server...
what's happened to Basi? I haven't been on since 2017.
@@drlca6601 Basilisk got wiped a couple of years ago and replaced with Finalizer. Everyone had to start over from square one. But I'm sure the usual suspects are already back to perma-camping all the high-end mobs. I'm enjoying the game much, much more on Legends.
I have a Legends account and never quit but the launcher was on the fritz on my compat layer (I'm on a mac lol.) I obviously love pre-CU more, but that being said, Legends has the content, and since I'm a space player it's perfect. Looking forward to getting back on this week for the first time in two years.@@douglasharbert3340
@@drlca6601 Legends is awesome. All the high-end content is instanced, and for the mobs that aren't instanced, the devs have placed a "no macros allowed in this area" around it. And yes, the space content in excellent as well, even though I can't fly a ship to save my life. 🤣
A big update will be to don’t see any JrO’s rats running around anymore
I was an IMP and loved seeing JRO out and about. No war in Starwars would be boring af.
Fertilizer 🤮
Holy crap only one online??? And limited to 2 and now 3 toons??? lol bruh EVERYONE in live had 2-5 accounts. Trash server.
They did that for a reason. Now you actually have to play with other people instead of having multiple toons logged in and just AFK camping the Acklay. Cry me a river...
@@douglasharbert3340 with what population??? That’s well and good for people like myself who run a guild of over 200 players but for player who don’t it screws them. Secondly I don’t play on vanilla pre cu servers they’re boring af there’s nothing to do but camp 3 mobs. That crap gets old fast.
@@douglasharbert3340 Your argument is so fundamentally retarded, where to even start....
It's a single server dividing up the remaining playerbase among many servers for a 20 year old niche game. Forcing group play simply doesn't cut it anymore when the population figures don't stack up.
Furthermore, even on the few servers smart enough to have a decently sized character limit, its completely reasonable to implement a limit on how many instances of an account can be online simultaneously, to prevent your strawman acklay camping scenario.
I've played on one of the smaller EMU's which has 3 character limit and it was nowhere near enough (then again, this server is notorious for having low population due to its toxic and abusive staff. Wish I knew before starting...)
It is WAY more fun to just log into your alt to get things done rather than wait hours and hours for other people to do a thing (if there are any people to do that specific thing at all)
@@ThePerfectStormGamingnge is for kids
@@user-tc4xy6jl7o you playing??
