I'm Jennings17soco and I am a huge star wars fan and the son of a comic book artist. I usually create mash up mods that have to do with the now Legends Expanded universe. I am always looking to learn new mod techniques and will give any help I can to other modders out there. I am a pretty fast coder when I get going. If you have any questions for me just hit me up, I always check MODDB frequently even if i cant do much. Happy modding!

The Return

Jennings17soco Blog

Well Everyone (or anyone since its been years since my last post and who knows if anyone pays attention to my page anymore)

Like I said above it has been a long time hiatus since I have really been active at all on Moddb. College really take up your time and modding and playing mods just doesn't fit into the scheduled. That being said have a new job a new computer and a desire to mod and play Empire at War: FOC again has brought me back.
It might take me awhile to figure things out again and remember what goes where in which XML blah blah bah technical stuff. But I am going to give it a shot again just no body hold there breath in case I drop of as fast as I came back.
star wars generations

Anyone that used to follow what I did before was aware of the kind of mods I did. For those that aren't if anyone is actually reading this.... I will fill you in.
Much of the modding I do is inspired by what I guess now is considered LEGENDS in the star wars franchise. (Piss off Disney) so don't expect to see that blue haired kid in rebels or singing ewoks. My source ideas come from Books like the original post trilogy series by Timothy Zahn-The Thrawn Trilogy (which we all know would have made a better trilogy than Force Awakens, Last Jedi, and whatever else they are gonna spit out)

thrawn trilogyxwing seriesrepub commandolegacy

That along with Karren Travis Republic Commando novels which are some of my favorites, and Michael Stackpoles X-Wing series and what I am currently working through The Legacy of the Force series. I highly recommend all of them starting the Zahns if you haven't.

So with this all in mind my mods are always after the fall of the republic and involve a split that occurs at order 66. Some clones join the empire, some clones refuse to turn and join the rebel alliance. (None of that inhibitor chip BS from the cartoon.) One problem that a lot of mods run into is they try and jam so much into the game without organizing it first. One thing I will gladly show anyone is how to fix this by adding in different factories and ship yards so your build bar is never cluttered and you cannot see the units at the end. An example being at Kuat you will be able to build the Kuat Drive yards which in turn will Unlock all star ships produced by the KDY (pay attention to the Star Wars Legends). This makes the strategy in Galactic Conquest mode much more intense. Only certain ships can be built by certain planets which will cause a greater sense of urgency to push forward as your enemy doesn't take advantage of your lack of certain capital ships or fighters. tie fighter

Examples of this off the top of my head are

Various special factories and barracks can also do this to cut down on infantry buildup on the build bar

This can also be done with commanders much like the dark troopers and the Arc Hammer. So where ever the commander is in orbit their troops are build able on the ground.

delta squad

Hopefully I will be able to pick everything up again quickly and I can start posting different screenshots and maybe tutorials for what I talked about above. I also play a lot of other Mod Authors creations and like to showcase off their hard work with credit always given to them. Any of the other mods I show off you should definitely check out and show your appreciation to them.

It's Good to be back and Happy Modding!

Whats up now

Jennings17soco Blog

Well seeing as i am at college I barely have enough time for track school and other college activities -wink wink- . I have not had a lot of time to devote to modding. Also i did not receive a whole lot of feed back for me to openly release my mash up mod of all eras. Or the my new "Star Wars Brothers Divided Mod" . the mods focus was to tell the tale of star wars as if order 66 did not go as planned. Anyone that has watched the star wars the clones wars season 6 saw that Fives (Arc-5555) almost uncovered the whole plot. So the mod was going to place stormtroopers against their clone brethren. It would also pose new rivalries between old clone comrades. This would be put into act in terms of the division of the 501st. Rex siding with the rebel alliance after discovering the truth uncovered by Fives. While Appo would lead the March on the Jedi temple and join the empire as Vaders Fist. And many more "what ifs" in the star wars universe (keeping hero's alive, or killing off others to fit the story,)

However like i said i did not get the support i was hoping for so the mod is in a state of 'unfinishedness' atleast while i am still in school for the next month. maybe after the semester ends and if there is enough support i will finish the mod and release it. (it wouldn't take much more than a month or so for a beta release)

In the mean time i will be uploading pictures from various mods the you should check out as well as parts of my mod that are finished. Or a mixture of both being models from mods than i will be using with the owners permission as always.

A New Direction

Well as some of you may know I created my own personal mash up mod of anything throughout the star wars eras that i wanted in my mod, so it was completely non-canon but had some extended universe elements like that of the Clone Commando novels and characters. Being away at college doesnt leave alot of time for me t mod or improve my own.
However winter break is coming up and I was thinking about taking on a project. My personal mod stayed personal in the past since i did not have permission for some of the models used in it. However I feel greedy holding my mod to myself when it as so much to offer. I would be willing to revamp my mod to make it available for the public if enough people showed interest in it. On my page i have uploaded many screen shots of various elements of the mod just for fun. And many of the models owners have been alright with me using the models as long as credit is given which i would.
So if you the community would like a new fun Star Wars mod please leave comments below and feed back, asking abut units and content would also be appreciated. If enough feed back is given i will upload a unit list for the future and the community can pick and choose what they want you maybe even have it all. Its entirely up to you!!!!
PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS AND FEED BACK! :)

Update on story of my personal mod

Jennings17soco Blog 1 comment

Well if any of you actually took the time to read my last story post this is basically the new story plot, things have been dropped from the old one and much has been added. (It might seem same at first but keep reading)I may eventually get around to adding a complete unit list of my personal mod if anyone would like to see what is actually all in it and maybe they could gain some ideas from me.
A long time ago....
In a galaxy far far away....

Like before Order 66 just was issued to all the clone commanders, clone officers and special forces groups. As we all have seen in the star wars universe the clones aren't completely flawless. There have been cases where clones "malfunction" and begin to think more independently and even form attachments to their brethren and jedi generals. So when 66 is given by palpatine the grand army of the republic is split. Clone Marshal Commander Cody (CC-2224) receives his orders and fires on General Kenobi. Around the galaxy other follow through with order 66 as well such as Bly, Thrie, Fox, and Blackout-(who later formed the imperial storm commandos with Captain Sarkli)However When Captain Rex receives the order Anakin is not with him and he is battling the CIS with Fives, Jesse, Dogma, Boomer and the rest of torrent company. He immediately questions it and tells the men of torrent company to disobey it and not fire on any jedi they come in contact with. Former Sergeant Appo is promoted to Commander of Vaders Fist and leads a different detachment of the 501st on the jedi temple as seen in the movie.

Once united brothers in arms the clones are divided throughout the galaxy. Rex immediately contacts Cody to try and rally forces, but when Cody learns of Rex's disobeying of 66 he brands him a traitor to the new galactic empire. Though Cody would not side with Rex many famous Commanders did, Gree, Forbos, and Barcara with his galactic Marines. Two others that didn't follow through were Jag and Neyo resulting in the lives of Plo koon and Stass Allie being spared.
During the time of order 66 many clone commando units were deep under cover or in active conflict with the CIS. Delta Squad has just received orders from Master Yoda to begin the 1st battle of Kashyyyk and are ordered to leave there brother Sev as M.I.A. As the battle rages on the men of Delta Squad lose focus as they feel they have abandoned their brother. when order 66 is given that brands all jedi as traitors, Delta uses this as leverage to disobey yoda's prior orders and leave the battle to look for Sev. After battling through droids in the lower levels of Kashyyyk, Delta finds Sev wounded but still fighting off destroyer droids. With the droids wiped out Delta limps back to their ship the Prosecutor and convince the crew of the treachery of both Yoda and the Emperor. They leave the system in search of Kal Skirata and Walon Vau to seek what to do in this galactic power shift.

Omega Squad had their own problems at the time of order 66, with Darman having a jedi wife (Etain) and omega squad working so close with her and Bardan Jusik they immediately disregarded the order and planned the leave the empire along with all of clan skirata and go to mandalore for safe heaven. Sadly when Etain saw a jedi going to kill a clone trooper she stepped in to stop the kill. But as she did the trooper raised he dc-15A and shot her in cold blood. Corr and Atin left with Kal to go to mandalore along with Fi (in his mando armor from Hokan) and all six null arc troopers. Niner and Darman were pressed into imperial service for a time until clan skirata staged a rescue mission once again uniting Omega Squad. The Skirata clan along with delta, omega, and theta squads stayed on mandalore until they learned of Yoda and Rex uniting the scattered forces of the republic to fight the empire.
Clones that followed order 66 were formed into the stormtrooper corps and began to serve the galactic empire with the attempts of wiping out there traitors brothers. Some clone units chose the option to keep their phase two armor rather than being given the new stormtrooper armor, units that choose this where the 212 attack battalion, the Red coruscant guard or shock troopers, 327th Sky Corps, and standard 501st troopers. (Vaders Fist's units would be given early stormtrooper armor with blue markings shown here Moddb.com).

Clone Commandos that joined the empire would have one of two fates. if they were still in physically fit order they were reorganized into the special operations brigade of the empire under the designation "SQUAD 40". In the days that followed Emperor Palpatine's rise to absolute power, the commandos replaced their old Katarn-class armor for a new suit of imperial commando armor devoid of unit markings and personal customizations in accordance with the New Order's emphasis on uniformity and obedience. However, their identification numbers, apart from the 'IC' prefix, remained the same. In addition to retaining the same designations, the commandos were permitted to keep the DC-17 rifle for a time, mostly because it was the primary weapon that they were accustomed with.
If they had aged past there prime then they were put under the command of
General Rom Mohc and taken to the "Arc Hammer" where the aged commandos were transformed into the PHASE ZERO dark troopers as prototypes to the project.
Thus in the aftermath of order 66 not only the galaxy is torn in two but the the white brothers in arms are torn as well. Resulting not in the formation of the Rebellion but the Republic Remnant led by the remaining jedi with Yoda at its head of the order and Captain Rex being elected Senior Commander in Chief of the Clone forces for his independent thinking and great acts of valor.In the end the galaxy is still at war.........

A personal Mod im piecing trogether for myself

Jennings17soco Blog

I've played a good number of forces of corruption mods and now im gonna take a shot at it for myself. Id like to make a shout of to Farseer and Knokos for having my two favorite mods and helping me with learning a thing or two and navigating their mods. Anyone that has played The Reckoning Mod will maybe get where i got some of my ideas from since many of my ideas came from the characters featured in it. (however i will not use any models without permission this is just my idea written down and to see if anyone likes it)
