I've updated the video above with a much newer iteration. Here's some notes on it:

-The Clone Commander's EMP Grenade Launcher fires a special type of EMP Grenade - it sticks to vehicles and when it detonates, it ejects that vehicle's occupants and leaves it disabled for five seconds.
-The CIS has two things to note:
--You'll notice you can play as the Battle Droid and the Super Battle Droid.
--The Tactical Droid's Sonic Blaster will push the target(s) back a short distance upon impact - the tradeoff is that the further the 'pellet' travels, the less damage it will do.
-The Bothan Spy's Seeker Rifle behaves similarly to the Halo Needler.

Hey all!

First, I would like to thank ‪Dark Phantom for his excellent work on cracking the unit selection screen to allow for up to 10 selectable units. This was something I threw together fairly quickly to test it out - a prototype restoration for the cut sixth unit from Star Wars: Battlefront. As these are prototypes, they may not align perfectly with how a finished, polished version of these units would work. Phantom's work will blow open the possibilities for new mods for the game. So once again, I would like to extend my thanks.

Here's a video of the initial prototype:


With the public release of his patcher, I am currently working on a more polished version of this with a couple of nice surprises thrown in for good measure. Including the sixth unit (or 'seventh' for the CIS - as I am also including the Battle Droid alongside the Super Battle Droid to offer a bit of faction-exclusive variety!) has actually changed the game in some pretty fun ways, and I can't wait to be able to finish this off and show it to you all.

Additional credit to psych0fred as the Imperial Officer and Rebel Spy are based off the units he provided for his Chain Isle map.

Bumping purely to put this at the top given the uptick in spammer activity earlier

A video from Flandrew, who has covered a load of Star Wars games of the past (even interviewing the devs of the 1999 Phantom Menace game), also has a statement from Shaymin, one of the folks from Free Radical Archive and co-developer of the Star Wars: Battlefront III Legacy mod for SWBF2.

I'm working on the next patch and update. I'd like to get some opinions on what I should include:

A) Selection of classic mod maps (I have permission from Rends to modify his Coruscant City and Streets)
B) Remaining maps from SWBF2 (Geonosis, Kamino, Kashyyyk, Theed nighttime)
C) Selection of my own custom maps (Scarif, Theed, Invisible Hand)
D) Some combination of the above

Space maps are a ways off, still a lot to work out on that front.

Welcome! 

Patch 1.2 is now live: https://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-battlefront-anniversary/downloads/star-wars-battlefront-anniversary-edition-patch-12

Gotta make sure they still come here instead of other threads, so gonna bump this

I've split this off, I think it deserves its own topic so everyone can see it 

Quote from: wsa30h on September 23, 2024, 10:56:55 AMis this for the 1.2 cd and dvd versions ? any chance this might work in the latest steam version ?

I'd imagine the addresses for each might be a bit different, but the hex values themselves should be the same for the steam version, so you should be able to find them.

I have uploaded a patch to fix several issues not picked up during testing.

Download it here.

Quote from: Luna on September 18, 2024, 11:06:55 AMWoot! Glad to see it's out! Well done on your hard work to make this mod, Giftheck!

Thank you 

The Star Wars: Battlefront franchise began with the release of the original Star Wars: Battlefront - the very game we are all here for today! Happy 20th anniversary to the best Star Wars game!

It's finally out! Star Wars: Battlefront - Anniversary Edition (formerly known as Star Wars: Battlefront Legacy - not to be confused with Battlefront III Legacy) is a large scale mod for the original Star Wars: Battlefront which pulls inspiration from all corners of the franchise, from the original games to DICE's versions and even from the cancelled Star Wars: Battlefront III.

Download it from the ModDB page

Please note that, owing to compatibility issues regarding LUA and the manner in which addons are handled, the Star Wars: Battlefront - Classic Collection version cannot be used to play this mod. This mod is compatible only with CD/DVD, Steam and GOG versions of Star Wars: Battlefront.

I'm encountering a peculiar crash on two of Red04's maps: Utapau and Mygeeto.

If the Droideka explodes, the game immediately crashes. I'm told this might be a collision issue because it has happened in SWBF2 on Mygeeeto as well.

Anybody come across this and found a fix?

EDIT: this issue also occurs with the standard battle droid explosions too.

EDIT 2: investigating further, the compiled versions of these maps are about 4MB lighter than the ones in Red04's addon pack and I can't figure out why - I've not changed anything about Utapau to begin with and the only thing changed on Mygeeto was changing the Bespin AAA turrets to Recoilless turrets.
