odd that jabba works and another mod map would not...I assume it is still in addon for the steam version

Quote from: Unit 33 on October 28, 2022, 02:06:23 AMUpon trying to play Giftheck's new map 'Dune Sea Exchange' I was presented with a fatal error which read 'Could not open mission.lvl'.

I have not encountered this kinda error before, is this a known issue with the Steam version of SWBF?

Does Jabba's Palace work OK?

and it is no-cd needed

It looks great 


The audience is small, though, so make sure it is something *you* want to do.

Since this post was from 2009 and the file was not hosted here originally, that is not surprising that the link is dead.

However, we do the best we can to capture all things SWBF 2004, so check our downloads area.

If it is not there, make a new post requesting what you want, rather than using such an old post.

oh.  i forgot...let me see what i can do soon.

Quote from: Bluetothestars on September 17, 2022, 08:56:48 PMYeah it does, though I think it would be easier to somehow bind the freecam to a character so it follows them, since the death cam doesn't follow the killer up close.

changing the follow time is just a hex edit once you know the location of the value
binding it to another character would be nearly impossible

Doesn't SWBF2 have a death cam?  Where it follow the killer for a short while?  Maybe there is a way to extend that time, idk.

although there are such things in windows.  It might work.

idk

What version of windows are you using?  I can make a video next week with windows 10 or 7.

nice find

Well, did you uncompress the download and place it in a folder?  (use a folder name with  no spaces such as C:\mbuilder)

This can be easiest done through the "mission mod tool"
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=319

It is a subset of the full mod tools.

Change the text in the LUA, munge, replace the mission.lvl file.

It gets more complicated from there if you want to use units that are not already loaded.  But that will get you started.

This guide will also help

For new modders, I suggest starting with the parts that are easiest to edit first--like mission lua .  Just a few text edits here and there.  That will get you used to working with the mod tools.  The maps later.   

But do as you like

Here is an idea...maybe they are normal infantry with a Jedi skin.
