My idea is to make a sides mod, of stuff converted from BF2 (like droid gunship, Imperial Officer, etc), stuff left out of the shipped game, and just new things in general. The mod would be something like the BFX mod and conversion pack for BF1. That mod added new eras to the shipped maps, with more vehicles and different units. I'd do something like that by making mission maps with different sides. The convo pack converted BF1 maps to BF2. my idea would have BF2 maps converted to BF1. I already have a Kashyyyk hunt map.
Format like this
Default and regular sides
default shipped rep.lvl, all.lvl, imp.lvl, cis, geo, gar, gun, ewk, wok, des, and gam lvls so its online compatible
new lvls for the mod
a file for the republic with
new vehicles (Flash Speeder, AT-XT, AT-RT, Light Attack Speeder, ARC-170, V-19)
Coruscant troopers, 212th, 327th, 41st, Galactic Marines, and the 501st legions
new heroes and special units (like Commanders Cody and Bacara, a Clone Commando, Commander etc)
New imperials with
TFU stormtroopers
Galactic Marines
Imperial Commandos, sandtroopers, etc
New heroes (Jerec, Palpatine, Starkiller, Bobafett)
New special units (Imperial Officers, Navy Commandos, Storm Commandos, Jump troopers, etc)
New vehicles like the theta class shuttle, TIE Defender, "trooptrans" TIE Interceptor
new droid units
a Droid Commando w/ sword, Droid Marine, Engineer Droid, Improved droideka, Magnaguard, IG-Tactical Droid, OOM Security droid, geonosian).
snow droids, sand camo, jungle camo.
new heroes (jangofett, IG-88, OOM-9, Darth Maul, etc)
new vehicles like the: Dwarf Spider Droid, Snail Tank, Droid Gunship, Trifighter,
Rebels
variations
naboo guards, improved defaults, CIS droids for a scum/strike mustafar, Tusken raiders for desert maps,
snow and katarns for snow maps.
new vehicles: flash speeder, GIAN speeder, K-Wing, AT-PT, V-Wing Airspeeder, N-1 Starfighter, A-Wing, Rebel LAAT/i Gunship,
new units: bothans, rebel commanders, rogue jedi
heroes, galen marek, chewbacca, etc.
what do people think of this idea
Sounds to me you are also thinking of KotOR hero's.
Sounds to me you have a great idea :D
sounds pretty cool from the little things i understand out of it :)
if you do it. keep posting some screenies as you go.
Kotor heroes?Well i have few kotor heroes but still modeling the Ebon Hawk for my Kotor map-pack project.Then i will try to make and bastila.
{back to the topic} Its good to see that not only me and Nikoli have been started something "big".
Sounds good. That's quite a lot of work for one person though... I would start off by doing a side faction, and see if you can get anyone interested in helping out.
Why? To play with others? Do you have xfire? Who do you play with regulary? You have good ideas.
Ok. I need help w/ making a Geonosis map using the shipped as a base. How do you edit a shipped map?

They have not been released and the original authors do not have the source files anymore.
o ok. I'll make my own luas.
Geonosis: Prototype is being tested right now
Naboo: imperial Diplomacy: complete
Kashyyyk: Hunt: complete
sides: almost complete
Could you post some screenshots... this has got my interest.

I LOVE YOU GOGO XD
I can't get screens up until the mod is working yet. I've had to drop: Mygeeto, and a Geonosis custom map. Right now I'll release it as a sides mod first, then when I'm on winter vacation, I'll work on the multiplayer part. Right now its a sides mod with some mission maps :confused:
As I said, I'll continue with this when I'm on winter vacation.
Just to put it out there about me. I like anything new for swbf1. I will be here when this becomes playable.
I want to get the shocktrooper's backpack on a wookiee or other rebel soldier, and to give a scouttrooper model a jetpack (to make a felucia scout with a jetpack).
Is there a guide of how to add addon models to trooper models. Do you have to hexedit, or actually edit the msh file in XSI?
sorry for not posting for so long. I haven't gotten the mutiplayer part yet, but I do have some new things for the actual mod itself
screenshots
I was able to get Aayla Securas' tentacles to attach but now have forgoten how. When I did that they streched to the ground so that is the reason I moved on from that attempt. I might try again.
Napseeker released a fixed for BF1 Aayla model that removes the bones from her tentacles.
Starting Multiplayer compatibility now
This is looking nice, will download it. Maybe even run a couple of GR servers for it.
I haven't released it yet. but you can expect new worlds such as: Mygeeto, Mustafar, Utapau, Felucia, Coruscant, Polis Massa, and others. Now I have the TFU sides
TFU Imperial Navy Commando: DC-15S Carbine, DC-17 Hand Blaster, Thermal Detonators
Stormtrooper Assault: T-21 Blaster, Minimag PTL, Frag Grenade, Mines
Imperial Clone Pilot: DC-17 Hand Blaster, Fusion Cutter, Time Bomb
Imperial Navy Commando Sniper DC-15X Sniper Rifle, DC-15S Carbine, Frag Grenade, Supply Dispenser
Imperial Jumptrooper: DC-15S Carbine, EMP Launcher, Thermal Detonator, Haywire Detonator
Militia sides
Militia Sabotouer: DH-17 Blaster Carbine, DC-17 Hand Blaster, Thermal Detonators, Concussion Grenade
Militia Heavy trooper: DC-17 Hand Blaster, Missile Launcher
Militia Trooper: Pike, Frag Grenade, Fusion Cutter
Militia Elite: Chaingun, Frag Grenade, Melee Attack
Bothan Spy: that weird rifle that shoots little minirockets that kill people, disguise kit, remote seismic charges, grappling hook
Heroes: Star Killer, and a Militia Commander with a flamethrower.
UPDATE: multiplayer works, but I'm not sure if it's fully stable. This also allows you to have the mod and be able to run another mod, like the Elite Sides or Star Fire mods.
New maps included/ported from BF2
Mustafar
Mygeeto
Utapau
Polis Massa
Jedi Temple
Kashyyyk Beachead
New Maps currently being worked on/ported
Naboo Prototype
Theed (bf2 theed)
Sullust
Geonosis: Trap
Geonosis: trap is based on the Stock Geonosis map. Except: there are about 5 more Technounion ships and there is no spire and more open space for a large battle, In CW Your only vehicles are a single AT-TE, and a LAAT/i GUnship. Your command base is a Theta-Class Shuttle that ran out of fuel and had to land. You have to go up against a whole legion of droids and geonosians. They have Dwarfspiders, AATS, and Hailfire Droids.
I am here to help you test multiplayer.
I'll put it up on mpcgamers once i solve a mysterious crashing problem with the GCW era. I also have to redo my conversion of Utapau (the AT-RT doesn't work, so I'll replace it with something)
[mergedate]1287172624[/mergedate]
UPDATE. I'll post the files up soon
Photos of: 212th phase 1 troopers, Storm Commando on GEonsis, new Commander unit, Rebel SpecForce Marine with original launcher and Rebel LAAT
Error note: converted maps have no vehicles yet, except for the edited bespin and Geonosis custom map
[mergedate]1287362562[/mergedate]
NEW INFORMATION
There will also be GCW Era on Kamino, Geonosis, and CW era on Hoth and Endor. Not sure if it's needed, but whatever.
Where can I find KOTOR player models?
