Hey all!
First, I would like to thank Dark Phantom for his excellent work on cracking the unit selection screen to allow for up to 10 selectable units. This was something I threw together fairly quickly to test it out - a prototype restoration for the cut sixth unit from Star Wars: Battlefront. As these are prototypes, they may not align perfectly with how a finished, polished version of these units would work. Phantom's work will blow open the possibilities for new mods for the game. So once again, I would like to extend my thanks.
Here's a video of the initial prototype:
With the public release of his patcher, I am currently working on a more polished version of this with a couple of nice surprises thrown in for good measure. Including the sixth unit (or 'seventh' for the CIS - as I am also including the Battle Droid alongside the Super Battle Droid to offer a bit of faction-exclusive variety!) has actually changed the game in some pretty fun ways, and I can't wait to be able to finish this off and show it to you all.
Additional credit to psych0fred as the Imperial Officer and Rebel Spy are based off the units he provided for his Chain Isle map.
I've updated the video above with a much newer iteration. Here's some notes on it:
-The Clone Commander's EMP Grenade Launcher fires a special type of EMP Grenade - it sticks to vehicles and when it detonates, it ejects that vehicle's occupants and leaves it disabled for five seconds.
-The CIS has two things to note:
--You'll notice you can play as the Battle Droid and the Super Battle Droid.
--The Tactical Droid's Sonic Blaster will push the target(s) back a short distance upon impact - the tradeoff is that the further the 'pellet' travels, the less damage it will do.
-The Bothan Spy's Seeker Rifle behaves similarly to the Halo Needler.
