The Star Wars: Battlefront franchise began with the release of the original Star Wars: Battlefront - the very game we are all here for today! Happy 20th anniversary to the best Star Wars game!

It's finally out! Star Wars: Battlefront - Anniversary Edition (formerly known as Star Wars: Battlefront Legacy - not to be confused with Battlefront III Legacy) is a large scale mod for the original Star Wars: Battlefront which pulls inspiration from all corners of the franchise, from the original games to DICE's versions and even from the cancelled Star Wars: Battlefront III.

I'm encountering a peculiar crash on two of Red04's maps: Utapau and Mygeeto.

If the Droideka explodes, the game immediately crashes. I'm told this might be a collision issue because it has happened in SWBF2 on Mygeeeto as well.

Anybody come across this and found a fix?

EDIT: this issue also occurs with the standard battle droid explosions too.

EDIT 2: investigating further, the compiled versions of these maps are about 4MB lighter than the ones in Red04's addon pack and I can't figure out why - I've not changed anything about Utapau to begin with and the only thing changed on Mygeeto was changing the Bespin AAA turrets to Recoilless turrets.

SWBF Anniversary is ready for open testing. I'll upload a build tomorrow.

Gonna have to update this in the near future to include Red04's conversions. I also have a couple to add as well in the near future, mainly fresh conversions of SWBF2 Kashyyyk and Geonosis.

Tomorrow is self-testing for SWBF Anniversary now that all the maps are locked in. After that, I'll see if there's any issues (looking at you, Yoda on Dagobah), try and fix those, then move on to open beta for a week. If that goes well... 17 September, at last, will be the release of this mod.

I expect to have the pre-release beta for SWBF Anniversary done by end of next week. There is literally two maps to go. I expect to release September 17 as planned.

Have some SWBF Anniversary gameplay.


It was fun stress-testing Endor Bunker. In the stock game, I always found it ridiculously easy to hop on a speederbike, rush over and destroy it. Now it's much harder to do that, which is why I had to do it three or four times to show that. Also, I'm quite rusty, so I'm sure I suck a bit with these units 😅 Sadly you didn't get to see the inside of the bunker get wrecked, but I did post a video previously showing what it looks like.

Looks like it is some sort of issue between this site and gmail as another person who has just signed up has contacted me to say they're not getting their activation email.

Don't bump topics.

Much appreciated, thanks

Thanks to Yahoo's total incompetence with handling spam attacks, I've decided to retire my Yahoo account entirely in the near future. I will need to change my associated email address here. I primarily use my GMail account but I remember the last time I tried to change that, I was locked out because this site isn't okay with GMail. My other account is a Hotmail account. Is that a viable alternative?
