I'm back... with a mod work-in-progress. (Battlefront 1.5)

[jdee-barc]

For about a year, I've been working on a mod, about the closest thing that you can get to an era mod in SWBF1. Gametoast's login page won't let me login so i moved the mod here (just incase bamdur, gogo12/ginev, and others were wondering). and the mod has gone through many rerenovations since i last was on gametoast. Ladies and Gentlemen... I present to you,
----------------------------------------
Battlefront 1.5 "era" Mod (Still a work-in-progress, requires 1.2 patch)
What it introduces:
New "eras"
through some toying around with an addme script in an addon map, i have created new modes for playing on certain maps. Such as Hunt Modes, Duel Modes (jedi vs. Sith), TFU era modes, and more. This allows one to play the stock maps with the stock sides for multiplayer compatibility with those who do not posess the mod.

New Visual updates to stock sides and files
This is kind of like the BF2 1.3 patch in terms of visuals. It upgrades weapon and Unit models and skins to community made, BF2-made models, and some of my own skins. (still multiplayer compatible). Particle Effects all from BF2 and BF2 mods (like the flashing grenade effect)

New Worlds ported from BF2

Jedi Temple
Mygeeto
Mustafar
Utapau
Polis Massa
Felucia
Space Map by gogo12
Nighttime Theed (to replac/e regular theed)

Worlds from the modding community (either they have released the sources saying that we have to credit them, or have given me permission)
Majin revan's Mykyr
Jend07's Bespin Escape (instead of making an era for Bespin Cloud City)
Psych0fred's Geonosis: Chainisle (makes a great TFU map)
Gogo12's space map
Gogo12's Dantooine
Gogo12's Behind Enemy Lines (Geonosian Core Ship)
Gogo12's  Dxun Moon
Ok i can't list all of gogo12/ginev's maps because he gave me permission to use whichever ones i like

I'll also see if can get permission to use Rend's coruscant maps

New Sides that do not override the stock sides (because the stay in the addon folder)
For CW era I've tried to make a TCW Mod as close as possible for BF1. I can't use the real tcw models by Andeweget and Force Master and others, because they are too high quality to work properly on BF1 (they alwasy show lowrez), but i have made some TCW-like skins and phase 1 clone legions for the phase 1 troopers and added units like ARC Officer (an ARC version of the clone commando), Commander Cody in a phase 1 form, ARF scouts instead of regular clone snipers.

For the CIS in this case, i've included some very good units. The Tactical Droid, cut from BF1 before it was released (has a Flamethrower, Disguise Kit, Time Bomb, and Orbital Strikes), the BX Commando Droid, and others (and new heroes like OOM-9, Cad Bane, Durge, etc)


For the GCW era I have completely revamped the sides. I removed the Darktrooper (replaced with Imperial Assassin, like a clone assassin), and put the Wookiee so that it only appears on kashyyyk, while putting in its place, other units)

I have included new vehicles, some of them, my own creation

[CommanderCody212]

Looks cool. I want to try out that Clone Assassin. No DC-15A for the Clone soldier class? 

[jdee-barc]

Oh i was wrong. the clone trooper (regular soldier) has both the DC-15A Rifle and the DC-15 Carbine. the Dc-15a fires slower but kills in two hits. the carbine fires really fast and takes longer to kill.

UPDATE
i've had to remove the basilisk war droid and GAT tank and LHOD carrier due to collision problems.

[Unit 33]

That's just amazing... all of it.
I'm glad there's so much variance between the different specialist classes.
The new animations sound awesome too!

[jdee-barc]

New Maps added.
Majin Revan's Kashyyyk: Shores

New Mos Eisley Locals (all equipped with a pistol of sorts, a fusion cutter, and varying types of grenades)
Rodians
Sullustans
Trandoshans
Duros
Jawas

New Kashyyyk Wave Mode. CW Era: 1 BX Commando Droid vs 500 Wookiees. GCW era: 1 Jedi Commando vs. 500 Stormtroopers.
New Mos Eisley: Duel Mode (note to sleepkiller, i didn't read about your deathmatch mode, buti hope this isn't what you planned out for your mod).
CW era: Clone Assassin vs. BX Commando Droid ( 1 on 1, each side has 10 lives)
GCW era: Jedi Knight vs. Darth Vader (1 on 1, each side regenerates, so only 1 life)

[TK 141]

Looking cool man, it's looking good.

I am wondering, how does that LHOD work? Is it like in the sky or something?

[jdee-barc]

it's a gunship. you pilot it and the dispenser for the vehicle works like as if you were to drop a mine, an ammo pack, or a time bomb. it just drops out of the ship and onto the ground. I've changed it from a capital-ship-like thing to a gunship.

[TK 141]

That's really cool. Can it be shot down?

[jdee-barc]

yes, but it would take a considerable amount of time for it to be destroyed (it's health is almost as much as an AT-AT, 20,000)

[Unit 33]

Soooo does that particular ship now work? Or are you still having collision issues with it?
