There are Data's like .zaabin and .zafbin and .ZAT

They need to be properly "munged". Then loaded into the map lua.  Assuming that you have all the bits and pieces, they will usually work.

Please read the mod tools documentation:
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=4692.0

and the PC modding guide:
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=8.0

to get started.

If you are not familiar at all with the process of munging, then, I suggest you do something easier, like a weapons modification so that you get familiar with the process before you take on imported alien assets.


Welcome to the forums.

Okay Thank You Buckler
I will read this things .. I hope im understand
And I know what is munging, I also make other Models playable like Bothan and Gran ..
What kind of Weapon Modifications you mean ?
Like change the weapons to other ?
E.g Sniper with Lightsaber, because I already know how to do this

ok, it is good you know some about modding. I like to find out what level you are at before I try to explain things

jeah that's what he meant

i myself use the alien pack, i succesfully imported yoda

here is what you need to do:

first of all you need a side builder, i suggest bamdur's

put all the msh and tga files in the msh of your side you want yoda to be in (example all (alliance, rebels))
then copy the entire text in the odf 'yoda' into the odf of 'all_pilot' (or something)

now, instead of the regular pilot you get in the normal maps, yoda will appear
the names aren't going to be right, but that's not a big problem if you don't plan to make a major mod

Okay
Buckler I try to explain what Level I am ..
I didnt Mod a long Time
I can do Common.lvl and Core.lvl also changing Weapons and other things, A bit Mission.lvl, Make Models playable, color Skins and some other Stuff
It's not much but I can do some things
Ahh i also can do a bit of Shell and Load
And btw I have the SWBF1 Modding Builder 4 (The best who is there"I think")

And to you Marcus .. I can play with Yoda ^^ He looks like Yoda .. But I want to have the real Yoda format .. That is my Problem with him

Rancor can't be put in-game as a playable unit :/

i dont understand that, what do you mean with 'the real yoda format' ?

Napseeker made it happen

In what map? 

[Unit 33]

In what map? 

Oh oh. Geonosis arena wasn't it?
He had a working Acklay too.
It might have been unreleased... he had a screenshot of it ages ago.

Lol much posts ^^
Bamdur also made it happen to play with Rancor on Cloud City .. I saw a Picture
And I mean with the real Yoda format, that he is smaller than the other Troopers ..
Idk this Napseeker, but it is possible to do

[Sereja]

The only Yoda, I remember, has strange animation bug. He always try walking, in random directions, even if you try to stop him.

He had a working Acklay too.

Working Acklay?! It is cud be realy great!

[Unit 33]

Working Acklay?! It is cud be realy great!

Yeah it's full-sized... both the Acklay and the Rancor are playable.  I posted a pic like what, 2 years ago where they were all in a conga line in the arena (which I thought was funny, maybe no one else did).  Even got the Orray and Cart working.  Have a half-modelled, untextured Nexu, but I doubt that one will ever get done. Mind you, it's definitely an imperfect walk cycle just due to the usual trickery I have to resort to, but it looks just good enough to be acceptable to the not-too-discerning gamers.   I still have those vidcaps I posted somewhere, probably burned alongside with all my other junk somewhere, will post it if I can find it.

Full sized playable acklay in swbf1?!!?! *Must see*
