Imp.lvl by Dark_Phantom

QuoteThis is a modified Imp.lvl that has been in the process since I started modding.  Pretty much just had fun messing with stuff (and I still do to this day) and I realized "Wow, I've messed with every standard trooper in here.  Someone else could have fun just using this too."  Nothing in here is perfect, so sorry if you wanted perfection.

For exact details, read the readme.

Jabba and Dune sea are kind of weird.  At least putting Jabba in is.  No walls on the outside but they are on the inside?

I was planning to use more of the .wld editing anyway.  It is very time consuming if it gets done right, Bespin is most likely the easiest one by far.
Just thinking about mentioned levels...
Citadel and Harbor --- This one would be very tough just because of Citadel's layout (on a hill)
Dune Sea and Mos --- Not too bad, issue would be moving everything over so it all fits.
Islands and Docks --- This one may be tricky with water and such
Arena and Temple --- This one would be cool, main issue (as with all of them) is moving everything over
Jabba to Dune Sea --- That would be cool too.

More issues would be cross pathing between the two maps.  Minimaps are also a big issue.  Mission.lvl and core.lvl will have to be modded a lot too.  But for an epic battle, it would be fun.

Has anyone tried putting two maps together in one (like both Bespins in one) or experimented with it?  I can't seem to find any references to anything like it on here, and if nobody has, I would try.
If anyone wants to see any specific maps put together, just say so.

This one kind of works using the LUA trick, the better way would be through zeroeditor but takes a lot of work. Still another way could exist which might be better than both of these.

I may have found out a way to get this to work.  So far I have the stock Platforms map objects sitting above Cloud City (a little outside), and I think with a little bit of mission.lvl editing to go with it, I could have all the command posts and ships sitting up there too.  Two maps in one.  If I could get all that done, a little bit of coordinate changing and it could be directly above (although that could take a while to get exact  )

That would be me

I made a giant droideka shield once, unfortunately, there are 2 different parts of the sheild.. The part you see, and the invisible one that actually protects you, I never did figure out how to make that scale up though.  And the bream thing sound cool!

I did this before (I think I got it just about right with size).  Made a type of Squad Shield for stormtrooper that matched up with it.  You have to take the effects over in the side effects folders too and then you can change color, size, and all the visual stuff.  I think the Radius is a little tricky which is why they didn't match up right away

I think that the Multiplayer mode is confused when it comes to objects that are units at the same time.  You set the number of units, say to 0 (for no AI).  The level reads a file that contradicts that (because that Ewok thing is classified as a unit technically), so what happens?  Crash.
And 1 AI won't fix the problem, because even though it is a unit, what team does it fall under?

Edit:
Fix for this (until a new version comes out without the Ewok):
Go to the hunger2.lvl file in a hex editor
Hit "Find" or "Search" and type in "end_inf" (no quotes).  Scroll up slightly and you will see
BASE....soldier.TYPE....ewk_inf.
Go over to the hex side and put zeroes (00) in for 65776B5F696E66 which is "ewk_inf" on the text side.
The game will then load in multiplayer.  But don't expect to be able to use it online unless everyone uses it.
Once again, thank you for this awesome level Snake.

I'm running Vista 64 bit (yes, Vista is awful, but it suffices.  Nice specs too).  I can also try on my Windows 7 laptop and old XP sitting around.
I wonder why this is happening?  I'm redownloading it.

Yeah, that is probably what I'll have to do, which could take a while. Hmm.. I have no idea. It should work fine in multiplayer, I've played it in MP before. Do you have any mods on?

I felt sure that I turned them all off (its in my "everything stock or should be" BF folder) but I'll go through and try everything.  I can't possibly think of what is wrong...  maybe I'll have to try a redownload

Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5)  or otherwise known as American Eastern time

This map is great   Can't wait for the single player mode to come out.  Have you tried making all the Mandos locals to fix it? 
I have a question (or more of a problem):
Maybe it's just my computer being funny, but whenever I go to try this in Multiplayer (I tried in SP first and it did work) just to work my way around with no AI, my game crashes. Every time.  I have no clue what could be causing this because my other levels work, I reextracted the folder and placed it in 2 different BF folders (modding and original).  I can see the Mandalorian image and then I crash.  I have all my visual settings on low (but SP still works, like I said), and no AI, no heroes, etc.  Any clues, anyone?

I'd like to join as a contestant.  The map looks interesting and even though I've only heard things about the books and movie, this SWBF version I think will be cool.
If it's on Tunngle, I'm going to have to find more obscure ways to speed up my dialup even more, but on GR I shouldn't have any bad issues. 
And most of all I need to PRACTICE LoL.

I still play DF2, I started up again when I figured out they made an installer for Vista (Dedicated gamers LoL) and despite the fact you could probably never find a server except through JKHub, it's still fun to do SP and also Bar and Grill 1/2 on MP.

Cloud City does get old sometimes, but it still is better than Mos to me.  So many different ways to fight across the level, and i get claustrophobic on Mos sometimes
