Well, I got bored so I decided to make this. :) It is a modified mission.lvl that increases the unit and reinforcement counts in the following maps:
Geonosis: Spire
Hoth: Echo Base
Kasyyyk: Docks
Rhen Var: Harbor
Tatooine: Dune Sea

If it is just a mission mod with only increased units and reinforcements, it is online compatible.
Right, thats how people did those "Zombie" servers a while back before the server shut down, you never had to download to play with them. -- Here's a topic by our good friend Led explaining what you can and can not do in multiplayer mods without having other players download it: http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=4279.0
I can't remember how many times I've crashed my game with putting too many Geonosians on the map at once :P
What fun days those were.
Keep modding, it never gets old

Well, I didn't change the locals, so it should be fine then.
Actually it wouldn't make a difference.
You can interchange the classes you play as from the locals, and can increase the amount of ais they use at once just like any other faction loaded up in the map by default.

I thought that what you meant, sorry for the confusion.
Nice mod. On a side note, something that would be cool would be tuskens vs empire or rebels on Dune Sea.
Does this actually have a noticeable effect on the battlefield? I can recall changing ai count to 32 on a lan server once, and I didnt notice a difference.

I changed it to 64 AI and 640 reinforcements per team (128 AI & 1280 reinforcements total). The change was quite noticeable when I tested it.
MP has different AI limits than SP.

So it's not OC then?

Some mission.lvl mods are online compatible meaning that players will not have to download anything, but you are still limited by the MP limits of the game.

So it's still online compatible, but I'll still only be 32 AI per team in MP, right?
(Off topic: What is the AI limit (Per team) in SP?)
Either 16 or 12, probably 16

Then how was I able to get it to 64? (Just to clarify, it meant singleplayer not multiplayer.)

I don't think the game imposes any limit on the AI count but go to high and bugs start to happen. Limit yourself to around 100 per team to be safe.
If I recall correctly, you can have up to 32 AI per team in MP. You can also do some tricks like making additional allied teams to have more AI on the map.

Thanks for the info.
Just fyi, to have a lot of AI without too many glitches (or even a crash from overload) Try to keep the total AI number under 200. You can go way above that but things start to get weird after that.

Thanks for the heads up.
Just tried this out and had a lot of fun with it! Just my kind of mod.
Geonosis is my favorite. 8)
Thanks! Glad you enjoy it! :)
Anyone have a link to the mod?
It was posted in 2014...does not look like is is around anymore...however, since it is a mission.lvl mod, you can use battle belks mission.lvl builder to just make it.
We have mission mod tutorials. Change some numbers, munge (compile it) and you are done.
