Hello everyone! Man, it's been like, 2 or 3 years or something crazy since I've modded. How times flies, right? Anywho, I still don't know how to do the simplest of tasks. I am crazy about this model I found ( https://jkhub.org/files/file/2876-galen-marek-jedi-adventure-robes/ ). I want to use it as the jedi hero on the map I started working on yesterday. I figure that it is ok to use this because it is on the internet, if I give credit?

Anyways, It is a model for Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. This obviously won't work for Battlefront II, so could somebody convert it for me? Or, could you tell me how? Credit will be given either way. I tried using blender and an old plugin to import it, which I could then export as msh or something like that, but of course the old plugin is.. old, and it did not work correctly.

Help is greatly appreciated!

My newest idea for a mod is to make the stock JED.lvl be more progressive and less static, so Im basing the 6 units off of the basic classes and the prestige classes from KOTORII. Essentially, I want it to have the Darth Maul animations for one, the obiwan animations for anouther, Aayla for yet anouther, and so on. Do I in the weapon ODF, do I change

GeometryName        = "rep_weap_inf_lightsabre"
ComboAnimationBank  = "human_sabre melee rep_hero_ep3obiwan"

to

GeometryName    = "cis_weap_inf_doublesabre"
ComboAnimationBank  = "human_doublesabre sabre cis_hero_darthmaul

That?

I did that, and it crashes my game when I play with it. Is there something in the Unit's ODF I need to change? I'm not sure what else to do..

Something I have notice recently is that lack of modding aid through the community. Although the majority of you people are polite enough to respond to personal messages, I am in a state of disbelief for the many times I have reached out for help and gotten either no response, or a response that more or less entailed 'figure it out.'

While I understand that by the way I type, my posts may be misinterpreted as 'do this for me.' This is however not the case. Most of my posts are asking for instructions on how to do something, or a nudge in the right direction to get me the answer. A lot of my posts I know nothing about, and when I receive an answer that does not help me, or rather no answer at all, there is often nothing I can do but to make a new post with a new idea, or think of something else to do.

I understand that this post may be misinterpreted, but I really hope you will understand I am not throwing punches. More so, I am trying to get help from my peers in this community so that I can give back to you.

Cheers guys,

Can someone help me, or point me to a tut on how to add things to a .msh file? Essentially, what i'm trying to do is get a jetpack to render on a unit model. Do I need to hex edit? Do I need some sort of rendering tool?

EDIT: okay, I found one. lol

Now, how can I make the model for the e3 Heavy Trooper the Model for the Jet trooper?

Essentially, I want my final product to look like the Heavy trooper, with a jet pack. I have the textures, but all the modeling stuff is new to me. I don't even know where to begin.

Where to I find the model for the Heavy Trooper's cape? And the jetpack itself? I can't find those.

In the attached files, the cape isnt rendering. Why?

First question: How do I add recoil to the sniper rifles? Its such a change from BF1, and I want to change that

Second question: Why doesnt the sniper have a reticule like in BF1? How do I add it?

Munging seems sort of different for BF 2 from BF 1. So myquestion is, do I still do the clean.bat and munge.bat? Or clean_all.bat and munge_all.bat? Or do I use Modtools VisualMunge.exe? What about all the other .bat files that say MUNGE in the name..?

I am only trying to do a side, not a level.

Is there a way to decompile an existing BFII mod? I solely want to look at the files for a few weapons and units from a mod that I have in my addon folder. So is there any decent .lvl decompiler to unwrap the files so I can take a look?

So.. evidently, I need a BFII CD to run the BFII Tools... but I play BFII on steam... can anyone help me out?

I ahve installed the BFII mod tools twice! When I run BF2_modtools.exe I gett this error:

"The program can't start because binkw32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I hve already reinstalled it....help?

I just recently got back into SWBF1 modding with the tools and picked up an old project I was working on. I quit it because the problem I was having is that I can't open a core.LVL file, and I was told that's how you change unit names (IE: Super Battledroid-->Battledroid). Is there some easy way to open these, or to edit the unit names?

Also, i read through the readme.txt again and it says I need Internet Explorer. Is that necessary? Because I use Google Chrome...

Im making a mod/map that focusses on kashyyk during order 66. the thing is.... Ive tred the mapping tools, and mapping period... i just cant get it right. Esprcially not a map of what I want. I want a map based off of kashyyk, with the coastline and shore, then a canyon/pth thing leading to a wookiee fortress in the trees. Command posts on the shore, in the tress, and scattared about other places. I can do the sides, but the mapping is something that someone on here is better at. Help?

I'm working on adding the original Battle Droid back onto the CIS side. I dont want to go through all of the hard core.lvl editing, so is it possible just to add a new playable class? I mean,  if theres no other option, i will edit the Assault Droid into the Super Battle Droid and make his rockets more effective... but either way?

So yeah. Is it possible?

I was playing around with the modding tools (BFBuilderPro) and I wanted to customize some side classes. How do I do this? I tried following this tutorial (http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=4692.msg45256#msg45256) but I dont ever get a sides tab?
