Well you got me to dust off my tools and start looking at SWBF mapping/modeling again! 

Hope you get your teams limit upped and working, as I know that was an issue before.

Good evening fellow battlefrontians,

I have returned from the dead on one of my occasional nostalgia trips and somehow have managed to download, get to work, and remember how to use the SWBF mod tools. I have decided to update the SWBF Museum. It was my crowning achievement that I feel did not live up to what it could have been--even with my limited modding ability. Unfortunately, I was never very good at being organized so I'm trying to piece together what I was able to accomplish vs what needs to be done. I will go back through this thread to make sure all the pictures requested are in the museum and things like that.

I've also added some features like actual gladiators for the empty gladiator arena:

If there's anything you want me to add to the museum please let me know. Some custom models for the museum would be great if anyone is up for that. I would also like to reskin all the yavin assets used so if someone would like to add some pizazz to the stock .tga's and send them to me that would be awesome as well. Still old and stone but something different than the base yavin textures.

I also need to add the SWBF leaderboards but I forget what the link is for that if someone has it on hand.

I tried adding a 7th local team to be zombies that can be released onto the map by breaking a barrier like I did for SLICE base (my AaTc map) but it has been crashing so far. Not sure if I hit the team limit or not.

Anyway, this definitely something I wish I was able to do as a preteen but unfortunately I wasn't ready until nearly 30.    Wish me luck.

Announcing the 4.0 release of
Geonosis: Canyon

ModDB
Gamefront

Mods can upload it here too if they want.

See the readme for changes below. This release now also includes remasters of my original two releases of the map from the late-2000s.





2008 "Remasters"



==INSTALLATION==

Place GeoCan in your Gamedata/Addon folder.



==DESCRIPTION==

This is a significant edit of the Geonosis: Canyon remake I released four years ago upon my return to Battlefront modding.
In the previous version, I tried to recreate a more DICE Battlefront-style of gameplay, I have now returned to the Vanilla+ style that I have employed in most of my other maps.
Once again, this map still does not function the way I wish it would, but I am so sick of tinkering with it that I am releasing it to get it over with.



==CHANGES==

- Replaced sides with the standardized Vanilla+ sides I will be using on all my mod maps
- Player can now play as the droids
- Removed the catacomb area at the back of the map, since it was almost impossible to get to
- Reworked the CPs to make the map smaller
- Made it so the Geonosians spawn at the hive entrances; the hive entrances can also be destroyed
- Replaced the indoor mainfrom console with an outdoor Shield Generator for the CIS/Geonosian faction
- Reworked the models for the Imperial Army troopers with my own custom kitbashes
- Used the classic BF1 Imperial Officer model
- Added some of my remastered cut-content weapon models

And the good folks at SWBFGamers and Gametoast for all the help on various other matters!

Yeah I found a thread about the flipx thing in the config.ini but it humorously flips it on the wrong axis when I change the value. I guess I need a flipy. I tried a redneck workaround by setting the rotation to 90 in ZE and rotating it 90 degrees, which got it on the right plane ingame but it was just too hard to work with so I'm scrapping that object.

Good to see you as well! I love these old nostalgia trips. I'm glad this place is still around. Hope all is well with you, Led!

I seem to recall other threads (in the long past) about this issue.  something about FLIPX maybe?  you may want to search for that term.

And good to see you !   

Good afternoon all,

I have a custom object that shows up fine in ZE but ingame is rotated 90 degrees for some reason. Is there a way to rotate it in the .msh.option? I will be testing some methods such as just typing in --rotate 90 but I have no idea if this will work.

Good morning all,

In the same vein of this post I have returned years later to play with mod tools again but I'm having trouble this time getting BFBuilder to work at all. It won't recognize new projects it creates and ZE says I must have SWBF installed. If I remember right the BFBuilder folder needs to be in the same folder as the exe, right?

Edit for future reference
I solved this by downloading Led's mod tools, using the BOPC fix, and creating a lucasarts folder instead of using Program Files (because there can't be any spaces)

These are pictures of brainstorming, E3 2003, and some game dev stuff I found on the old SecretSociety website posted by Psych0fred. These are probably floating around out there somewhere but why not dig them up for your viewing pleasure after 20 years.

The E3 photos are what made me post. Crazy how long ago that was and somehow the website is still up.

Thanks.  We are good here for the foreseeable future...Gametoast.com on the other hand may be lost. 

We at Citadel Servers ( Game Hosting Company ) have your back if SwbfGamers falls on hard times. The Original games are the best and it would be a shame to see such a vibrant community enter the abyss.
