It's worth an ask. I'm sure something must be left behind, even a vague description. I just sent a PM to him, and even a vague answer will be good. I do now assume it's fiddling in BF2 ZeroEditor to get rid of things like lights.

How did rebel_scum and imp_strikeforce get the BF2 maps into BF1? There were a few they'd done but were not all finished? I'd much like to add some maps to my mod (sounds like hexwork a little, or did they modify the maps in BF2's ZeroEdit?)

EVERYTHING in the new core.lvl is already pre-munged so the only real thing that can be added would be localization. Here was the core.req posted:

It only contains fonts, shaders, and localizations, and menu sounds, nothing too heavy. And TBH if LA wanted no main-game-modding, or, indeed, BF2->BF1 porting (since if we're going by what The_Pi said, could be considered illegal since it modifies a BF2 level to work with BF1) we'd already be shut down here. Other sites would also be closed because of the BF2 hex-edit hacks to allow different players, before BF2 mod tools were released. So I think LA overlooks it. And besides, they're too busy with BF3 right now.

I believe about shell.lvl, Psych0Fred made his own a long time ago, with 7 units and everything.

Brilliant or what? BattleBelk extracted "chunks" from core.lvl and made it work properly!

It should warn you, nonetheless.

I've tested a few new units and vehicles since, including the AT-RT. Check the list.

I recall a "Clones vs Empire" mod (possibly by Napseeker?), but none of the links posted in the map reviews topics work. Could somebody upload them?

The "Empire vs Clones" maps are down.

LVLs and LUAs can be decompiled? The only tool I knew that could do that was the LVL extractor, but that was never finished...

And yet Psych0Fred never told us how he did it...

Ah, so I can hex-edit the BF1 Arc's skirt in to the BF2 character. Nice.

BTW, stop that download, there were a few glaring errors with it (bad mission.lvl that makes wrong units appear etc) and a mistake in the rep.lvl. I'm reuploading it now.

So could I hex-edit the BF1 ARC Trooper Cape onto a BF2 character?

I beat you all to a Hunt Mod for BF1

I did not get the answer I was looking for on GameToast. I noticed that Napseeker has skirts on his Clone Commanders in his Jedi vs Clones mod, I was wondering how I might get the skirts to appear on characters I imported to BF1 from BF2.

I think Pandemic should include three IA modes - BF1 style, BF2 style and whatever new style they'll do in BF3. And they should keep the ships on ground levels as well as space levels. Biggest disappointment of BF2 was the removal of Platforms and Dune Sea - good examples of where spaceships worked on ground battles.
