Since the SWBF community is continuing to get smaller, I find that it's a lot funner to stick around when you know how to mod. I rarely play SWBF but I am active in the community because I love modding. Since I am now winding down my career, I wanted to offer if anyone would like to learn how to mod and/or map. I learned stuff like mission.lvl modding but I find that regular modding and mapping is much more fun. I'm not restarting my academy because that was just too much work, but if anyone wants to learn, I will be their question answerer and pointer to the right tools-er. If you would like to learn just post and make sure you add me as a friend on xfire.
I had always wanted to learn modding when I played SWBF but no one would ever take the time to teach me. Finally, Jango taught me a few basic things and I taught myself most of what I know today. (SWBFgamers taught me a LOT too.) So since no one wanted to teach me when I was a newbie at modding, I'm not returning the favor. :P
I will require you to read some tutorials, but I'm not going to teach you by saying "read this" but I will point you to tutorials for basic things.
My xfire: aatcsnake
i might sometimes have questions of editing something, so if u can add me on xfire plz
I would like to know how to mod better. I think I've got most of the basics down, I've modded bes.lvl, side.lvls, shell.lvl, and common.lvl. I still have trouble with crosshair modding and modding simple things because I don't know where they are located(color of shots). also I have alot of trouble with core.lvl modding. and I still can't figure out how to mod stock maps with bfbuilder (I'm used to Phobos bes.lvl builder). oh and wookie hands...wookie hands >.< . I already got you on xfire so hopefully I'll catch you on.
Next summer I may get a new PC, could you give me a tutorial then? I don't have xfire nor do I want it, FB instead?

I'm talking about making side mods and maps. None of the .lvl editing stuff. I learned to do all that a while ago but I found it so annoying that I quit doing it. :P

I've tried fixing it numerous times but it just never worked for me.
I know how to mod most things, but I would greatly appreciate it if you could guide me step-by-step through downloading BFBuilder, Zero Editor, and the other things I will need to make maps. I have downloaded everything a few times but could never get it working, so I've just deleted it...
And I would like some help with ODF editing and skinning tips so I can get better. :)

Im with roxas and shazam, ive tried every fix for zero editor but I could never get it working, its annoying, otherwise I probably would of been mapping by now, oh well. I might have a few questions here and there, ill add you. Oh and thanks for this topic :P.
I thought that topic wasn't solved.
Not getting a new PC this year or anytime soon, maybe in like four years. >:(
