Yes, you read the title right, the game will have NO microtransactions whatsoever: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/no-microtransactions-in-star-wars-battlefront-says/1100-6431154/

After being extremely annoyed by *certain* charts going around spreading misinformation, I decided to make my own chart that's unbiased, has more info, includes ALL the games and only has confirmed facts.

I'm getting this error message whenever I try to join a server, even when it's a stock map, in both SWBF1 and SWBF2 (though in BF2 I sometimes get the "CD key is not authorized" error instead.) There's absolutely nothing I did to the games prior to getting these errors, and MP was working just fine before. Everything is stock, except for my custom Common.lvl for SWBF1 and the v1.3 patch for SWBF2 (without the skin mod), neither of which have caused problems in the past.

With FileFront gone, and knowing GameFront proper's file hosting policies, should we try and salvage as much of SWBFFiles as we can as part of our SWBF archive project? And if so, what files should we save, if not all of them?

Is there an LUA command that would allow me to remove or replace a unit class from the level?

Felucia Acklay Hunt

Made by me for Cdt. Fox.

This adds hunt mode to stock Felucia. Clones vs. Acklay.

Alright, I'm trying to convert a blaster shot model someone made for Empire at War. (Not from the stock game) But I can't get the transparency to show up, so it looks like this (sorry about the loadscreen):

I tried hex-editing additive transparency using this tutorial, but to no effect. The model is just a bunch of planes and a texture.

To converted the model using this method:

E3 is going on right as I am typing this. The EA Conference is at 3:00pm CT. I will report back on this thread on any Star Wars-related stuff. Until then, feel free to discuss the event so far here.

SWTOR Story Expansion: "Knights of the Fallen Empire"

• Claims to be more like KotOR and other Bioware RPGs than before.
• Story revolves around two twins and a new faction.
• Many new locations and companions.

New Mobile RPG game: "Galaxy of Heroes"

• Not much known about gameplay, but includes characters and settings from both trilogies and TCW.

And what you've been waiting for:

STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT

The gameplay footage was absolutely AMAZING!!!!  I am without words to describe it.

New stuff and info:

• Rodians are a playable race for the rebels.
• Luke Skywalker is a playable hero.
• Orbital strikes.
• Electro-binoculars.
• Admiral Ackbar, at least as an NPC.

This is the second beta of my skin changer mod, which basically adds elements of appearance customization into the game by adding commands to the fake console which change the looks of units. Currently only Republic commands are available (Plus 1 Imperial one). The changes in this version are mostly bug fixes, plus a alternate 'lite' beta version, beta-ception!

tl;dr: This mod lets you play as different clone legions.

Screenies:
[spoiler](There are more legions than this, I'm just too lazy to take pictures of them all.)


(The above clone model isn't included, just the pauldron and texture, I was using my personal side mod when I took that.)

(I'll get local links up soon)

The lite version is SUPPOSED to be less buggy with the price of having less content by removing things that people were saying caused crashes. I'm not entirely sure how less buggy it is. This is exactly why this mod is still in beta.

SWBF online is working for me now. I think it's because my RAM was recently increased. So expect to see me around in the SWBFG and PLA servers. However, my life is too chaotic for me to join the ICW or other such things, though I may join some public events if I have the time. Either way, I'm glad I can now join you guys in-game. 

Here I play through the latest edition of the EPIC Empire Rising mod by TwinkyRunaway and his team! This version is a vast improvement over the last. In this video I play on Tantive 4 as the rebels:

Who here is going/went? There is no Star Wars comic, unfortunately (at least not at the store I went to), but there is a lot of free comics there so I'm sure you'll all find something you like. I picked up Avatar: The Last Airbender and Doctor Who. What did you guys get?

I'm trying to replace the CP icons of the Republic and Empire for my mod using an addon common.lvl, but they aren't showing up. I made sure that the script loads the new common.lvl, I made sure the icon was named right and I made sure it was in the .req file. But the game still just shows the stock ones. What do I need to do to get them to show up?

So I want to get the new Battlefront on PC, but I probably can't. So I ask you guys: what console should I get? The X-Box One or the Playstation 4? Not just for SWBF, but just in general. The only things I care about are price and reliability. Bonus points for backwards compatibility (which I seriously doubt either has).

With some poor quality SWBF gameplay.

I'll be posting the SWBF vids I do.

Is it possible to change the shape of lasers? Has anyone ever tried? I'm toying around with the idea of changing them to a pill shape.

In-Game Skin Changer Mod v0.5 Beta

http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=1276

This is something I've been working on for a while. With the increased demand of this mod, I decided to release what I finished so far of it. This mod adds new commands to the v1.3 Patch's fake console which will allow you to change the appearance of classes in-game.

Here is a video demonstration:

Now that we know more about the game, I think it time for us to decide what platform everyone is playing on.
