If you are familiar with modding already, you could take a look at this thread: https://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=14877.0
However, this will take a bit longer than 5 minutes 

If you aren't familiar with modding, and you want to share the map(s) name(s), there is a high probability that you will receive some help.

Thanks 
All models were made with blender.

Hi all,

after several months of work, my map is finally in a playable state.
This is still a preview version and a few things need polishing, but I'd really appreciate any feedback you can give.

The map takes place on the jungle planet Akiva, in a small village inspired by various Asian architectural styles.
Although the planet exists in Star Wars lore (you can find it on Wookieepedia), this map is not connected to canon.

Below are some impressions of the map.

If you would like to have the loading screen for the map, download it from the second link.
Be advised to make a backup of your original files!
Extract the contents (aki1.lvl, load.lvl) to GameData/Data/_LVL_PC/Load.
Click the third link to see how the intro looks.

Here you find the link to the map:

Big thanks to the GameToast and SleepKillers discord servers for educating me on several topics. 


It's very likely that we will play the map on multiplayer on the AR server (SWBFspy) in the next weeks.
Feel free to join us.

You need to load the rebel sound file in your script.
Look at the section where it says:

--start soundlvl
ReadDataFile("sound\\tat.lvl;tat1gcw");    -- or "cw" in your case
--end soundlvl

Should be straight forward from here.

There is also another way for chrome-based browsers.

- Right-click the download link
- Select "Copy link address"
- Paste the link in a new tab

The download is started, but you still have to confirm an "unsafe" download.

For completeness...
Lua 5 and Lua 4 follow completely different concepts under the hood. Lua 5 is register-based while Lua 4 is stack-based. My library only supports the stack-based approach.

Good thing that you found a solution 

It's probably a win 11 problem. Last idea I have would be to run the cmd in compatability mode

... /bin is supposed to be a placeholder to the bin folder.
Just cd into the bin folder and then run the command.

Quote from: Kit Fisto on April 29, 2025, 09:22:00 AMHow do I run this command? When I try to run it in command prompt it won't work.

Using the command with CMD inside the binary folder produces a *.script file for me.

Maybe start fresh with a plain mission_lvl folder?

Another thing you could try is running your initial command in an admin CMD.

What happens if you run the most simple command?
...\bin>ScriptMunge.exe -inputfile ..\scripts\BES\bes1a.lua -outputdir .

Got the animations working.

The "takeoff" animation just needs to be named that.

Regarding fin animations, I found an older post from Sereja: https://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=7145.msg77156#msg77156
Each type of movement is assigned one keyframe in the animation (i.e. 0 = foward left).

However, combining a takeoff and fin animation seem to bite each other.

Hey!

Recently, I began to get into animations and started to convert some models to SWBF.
I wanted to adjust one of my plane models so that the wing flaps would turn based on the direction the plane is going like the snowspeeder flaps on Hoth.

The closest thing I could find in the forums was this post from giftheck, which seems to have been solved, yet the follow-up is missing  : https://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=11906.msg113268#msg113268

Here is a post that describes animations in general, but it does not explain how the animations are loaded: https://sites.google.com/site/swbf2modtoolsdocumentation/animated-flyer-setup-in-xsi
To me, it is not clear how the takeoff animation is loaded.
Is it based on the naming conventions like "basepose", that the game loads the animation just if one is present?

In some of the ODFs I found a "FinAnimation" property, but I don't know, how the animation is supposed to look like.
Is it bound to the value of the "TurnRate"?

Any posts or resources that you can point me to for takeoff/turn animations?
Any hints on track animations for textures (like tanks) would also be helpful.

Cheers 

I am glad that it work now.
Let us know when your mod is ready.
I am curious to check it out.
Anytime

Infos on memory limits can be found here: https://sites.google.com/site/swbf2modtoolsdocumentation/sound_engine_guide (look for memory)

Have you accumulated the size of your sound samples yet?
If not, you should check if you exceed the memory limit.

I ran into some problems with the sound when I had used a wrong configuration for 1 sound file.
You should double-check your sfx and asfx configurations and the sample files:
- Make sure that you use the recommended sampling settings.
- Do you use only sound effects, or streams as well?
- Not sure if mono/stereo channels can cause an issue.
- It's best to use the recommended sampling rate and encoding already in the sample (I had some trouble when I used 32bit format instead of 16bit).

If nothing else helps, I would suggest removing one sound at a time and test again.
I know it's tedious, but usually leads to the solution.
Good luck!

As far as I can tell, the PS2 texture are not included in the mod tools.
However, I tried my best to edit the original sky texture to mimic the texture in you video (turned down brightness and saturation).
In addition, I used the ambient color settings from PS2.
Make a copy of your original file and replace it with this lvl file (GameData/Data/_LVL_PC/RHN/Rhn2.lvl): https://mega.nz/file/0ClDQa6R#CSiLUosZ1UoFS-XcrXdW-I5PMxLErrOKicNJ8Jr3R64

You could experiment for yourself if you get the mod tools.
Simply import the stock map and ...
- Locate the file: BFBuilder/DataRhn2/Worlds/Rhn2/world1/RhenVar2.sky
- Find the sections called PS2() and PC() and copy the values (or tune it)
- Locate the file: BFBuilder/DataRhn2/Worlds/Rhn2/world1/RhenVar2_sky.tga
- Edit the texture with an image manimulation program (like GIMP) to your preferences

Attached you find a preview.
