PVE Event - Empire Day Celebration








When: Friday, June 26th, 2020 at 3pm PST/6pm EST/11pm BST (Check your time here)





Where: Basilisk Server; Theed, Naboo (Exact location will be made clear in system messages)





Come join the SWGEmu Staff celebrate the 17th anniversary of the release of Star Wars Galaxies.

Empire day is the anniversary of the day that Emperor Palpatine declared the transition of the Galactic Republic to the First Galactic Empire and is often used to tout the might of the Empire by it's Governors and Moffs across the galaxy. Rumors swirl through the Theed Palace that Darth Vader will deliver the annual commencement speech, somewhere in Theed.



In some circles the day has other connotations, and has been adopted as a somber reminder of those lost in the Galactic Civil War on ravaged and destroyed worlds. Remember Alderaan!

As we look to move beyond SWGEmu 1.0, we have decided to open-source the engine3 code that supports core3. Over the years, there has been much internal debate on this step. Recently through discussions with Oru and TheAnswer, we have concluded that it is time to open-source the last bit of the SWGEmu code base.

At the beginning of the core/engine 3 effort, many groups were trying to land-grab and confuse players while claiming the work of others as their own. For this reason, the core developers decided it was best to keep the engine under wraps while openly developing the core3 game code base. This decision, combined with the laser focus on pre-CU 14.1 emulation, kept the project from fragmenting and losing focus. As we look to move beyond the pre-CU 14.1 milestone, we felt it was time to revisit that decision.

As we prepare for a post-SWGEmu 1.0 world, we need to find ways to embrace and collaborate with more developers. We are starting a Special Interest Group (SIG) for JTL development, and that team will need to refactor/extend the underlying engine to support space-related gameplay. We are hopeful that open-sourcing engine3 will also encourage new developers to join our post 1.0 effort and create the version of SWG we all wish to build and enjoy together.

Please note that we're releasing this under the same license as Core3 and we expect users of the code to abide by the terms of that agreement. Keeping in mind that using this code to provide a service over a network requires the complete source code must be made available. We reserve the right as original creators to make changes as needed for the official servers so we can keep people from cheating and also add features to support a bit of fun and mystery to the project for us all.

The engine3 source code is available in our official SWGEmu GitHub organization at: https://github.com/swgemu/engine3

We have also moved the official Core3 repo to: https://github.com/swgemu/Core3

We're looking forward to our future collaborations together as a community.

We are looking for passionate programmers who can dedicate some of their free time to volunteer for this project.

Required Skills

- Intermediate knowledge of C++ and/or Java
- Minimum experience with the Unix/Linux environment
- Familiar with scripting languages such as LUA

Recommended Skills

- Object oriented programming and design patterns
- Understanding of transactional systems and client/server architecture
- Concurrent programming (threads, mutexes)
- Experience with SQL
- Reverse engineering skills
- Game modding experience

How can I contribute?

Contributing is easy if you have set up the environment and git you just commit reviews to http://gerrit.swgemu.com as simple patches. After we approve some of your patches and we see that you're comfortable with the framework you get git access so you can commit directly.
If you have questions about the implementations you can DM lordkator.

Our support team needs to be strengthened and we are searching for one or more interns that we can train to become CSRs to help our community in support about account and in-game issues.
Some of the tasks that our CSRs handle are:

• Approving multiple account applications
• In-game issues like getting people unstuck or help them been able to log in a character
• investigate reports about rule breaking on our servers
• Help with Events and setting them up and/or execute them

The work is done in two systems. We have a live support, where you can talk directly to players with issues, or we have a ticket system where you will answer the ticket, trying to solve the issue or answering questions about policies.

Please follow this link if you are interested in contributing some of your time to the project and the community.
