I personally have no experience with writing mods at all or anything of the sort.  Personally, I've always been a fan of SWBF1 (probably pure nostalgia) over SWBF2, but I love the amount of content people produce for the latter. Even with all this content the SWBF2 HUD drives me up a wall.  Is the a way someone could write a mod to possible replace the SWBF2 HUD with the cleaner HUD from SWBF1 or a custom one all around? Or if there are any HUD mods someone could point me in the right direction to; it would be greatly appreciated.

The Unofficial v1.3 patch for BF2 comes with a new HUD, and also lots of mod support: http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.com/file/Unofficial_Star_Wars_Battlefront_II_v13_Patch;95418
"I would explain it to you but your head might explode."


I'm already using the 1.3 patch but I disabled the giant blue blocks behind the standard HUD because it only made it clunky.  I was really hoping to find something along the lines of a mod that carried over the HUD from SWBF to SWBF2.

Not possible as HUD positioning and elements are hardcoded in both games IIRC.
In Progress:
--Star Wars: Battlefront - Anniversary Edition (formerly Star Wars: Battlefront - Legacy Edition)
--Endor: Imperial Base

On Hold:
--Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron For SWBF1

The Republic Commando Mod was able to do it and I know of someone whom is already doing what your suggesting. Only problem is I know this particular modder is working on other projects so chances are you wont see something like that for a while.
Battfront Stuff if your interested.
