All versions and patch notes

Hey all,

I've been doing a lot of modding lately with this game and I noticed a few things in particular with some of the AI on my PC version vs my old PS2 version. Obviously the hero behavior and stats are different. 10k HP and lack of blocking means that nobody targets them and they just operate as damage sponges on the field, so I fixed it more in line with original PS2. But I noticed a few other things with the CIS sides. Super battle droids in the pc version don't use wrist rockets that I can see, and they certainly don't target vehicles with them unlike the console versions. I had to change the damage values and targeting behavior so that they would use the wrist rocket at long range and vs vehicles, and the tri shot between distance 0 and 12.

What else am I missing here, and where would I be able to check out a comprehensive list of changes to the game over it's lifespan? I'm assuming the game was released in the same state across platforms and was just patched over time for online users, but I could be wrong. Any searching on my part just returns one patch report involving things like jet trooper recharge rate and droideka shield rate.

Thanks :)

Patch notes were only really contained in the official patch files.  The biggest changes were those that you found. (Sorry for external users but they're all on the download pages :( )

1.1 patch notes:

1.3 beta "quick notes" - 1.3 only works with the CD (not DVD, only original CD) version of the game but is also the basis for the Steam/GOG version.

I have some of the differences between PC and Console documented but not in one place.  Maps like Geonosis have vastly different stats for the vehicles than the PC version for no discernable reason other than to make it easier for console players.  PC 1.0 and Console are the closest that the games are to each other - every PC patch deviates more from the console versions EXCEPT when Xbox got Jabba's Palace.

Thanks!

I had a suspicion that there would be undocumented changes between versions but was hoping that it was just due to PC receiving patches. As long as I'm not missing anything too big, I think I should be fine. I don't need it to be identical, but when I would see certain weapons or functions completely missing I figured it was worth looking into.
