Well, for the moment, I am concentrating on finishing the BF1 mod. Then I shall return to the BF2 mod.

So far, I've come up with doing the following:

Heroes from The Force Unleashed. You can play as X1, X2 for heroes, and I'll be replacing the Obi-Wan model with the HapSlash version (which looks a damned-sight better than the BF2 stock model). I might see if we can get Maveritchell to disclose how to get hero craft in space, and I also want to do some maps or modes inspired by Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron.

So, there's plenty to look forward to.

Oh, you want a heroes only map?

I did release one as part of my BFII-Style Missions pack demo (you can find it in the Releases section)

Is this reconverted or the first port of the map?

That's because it's actually just a lengthened laser. Although I suppose it could be possible if you have the right texture...

In any case, the model itself is incompatible because the character will hold it by the bottom.

Because Double Bladed, or Dual Weapons, are impossible to do. Lightsaber support is hardcoded, so it's limited to just one blade, one swinging attack and all-directional blocking.

I have the very first two... ah, the good ol' days with MoH and Underground on the PS1...

Medal of Honor is fighting back!

Well, it is a modern-day game, something that ought to freshen the series (which only previously happened within WWII)

Well, I'm guessing they've written a new story for it, although X1, X2 and TFU characters might still make appearances.

Then again, there was an animation reel I saw, fairly recent, with both X1 and X2 in the video. Much more detailed than ES.

Well, GameStop have advertised BF3 for all platforms, for preorder beginning in January... rumour and speculation, but can this source be trusted?

Because zafbins are already compiled, they cannot be edited. I believe they also hold the skeleton data only.

I think you can only re-envelope the model with XSI?

God news and bad news:

The good news: I've started on "Space: Mustafar". At present, the CIS and Imperial Ships are quite a distance apart, I might consider second captial ships for them both. The Imperial Space officer class is the EVO Trooper from The Force Unleashed (although there are a couple of creative liberties) and I'm using my Imperial Shuttle from the Main Play Mod over the Prototype Shuttle. No screens yet, mind.

The bad news: Space: Coruscant is currently on hold as I try to fix an unknown crashing problem.

Actually, you bring up a good point there.

Bearing in mind that the Gammoreans also have custom skeleton and shoot animations too. So it isn't exactly 'impossible'. However, I agree that simply 'porting' it won't do. Skeletons ARE possible (somebody ported the Yoda skeleton although it's never been shown how, or released) but it's quite some work there.

As I understand it, the game calls for a specific animation when a unit does a certain action. I have an idea on this. Theoretically, if an animation set has the SAME NAMES for individual .msh files, and the animations (zaabin) are added in the unit .REQ file, then I would assume that the game tries to use the unit's animations, possibly filling the gap with the ones inside common.lvl. I could be mistaken however, as I have never tested this theory myself.

You do not need to hex-edit core.lvl. Battlebelk released a core.lvl tool

I have an incling that "Playmovie" can be used at the beginning of a map? Not sure. I think it's used in the BF2 campaign.

ODFs are found in folders called ODF, eithre inside your world folder, or inside the sides files. You can open them in Notepad.
