I have recreated the original terrain texture tile set (same tgas, same parameters) from the stock SWBF2 Geonosis map. When I paint in ZeroEditor using these textures, it all looks ok. But in the game there are very visible seams in random spots between different layers. Has anyone faced such an issue?

Edit:
This happens if you save your map in ZeroEditor, munge and play it.

Solution:
Step 1: before playing clean your world (no need to clean anything else).
Step 2: munge your world (no need to munge everything else).

(see the 3rd screenshot)

It isn't necessary to clean every time unless you either work exactly with the terrain texture layers or plan to release the map.

I'd rather you didn't. Especially with Elite Squadron - the entire thing is intended to be played with those custom classes.

What I can do is a mission.lvl mod that may or may not end up with what you want.

Hey, thank you for taking your time to help out, yeah just the vanilla classes and heroes is all I'm wanting from these maps. These are a couple maps, sorry if it's a lot.

No worries on the wait and happy holidays until then!

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.

If the original modder is around, they could reply and replace with the original units.

However, if that wasn't their intent, and there's no source files, then it's likely harder than the effort it's worth.

Think of it this way, that was a design decision by the modder and they wanted the map to be played with their custom classes. 

Hey guys, I've gotten back into this game with friends and been loving the custom maps. My only question is if there is a way to replace the custom units back to original vanilla units? There are some great maps out there but not really wanting the custom classes they come with. Ive had some success on some maps replacing certain files with vanilla ones but it comes with some bugs like no heroes or missing classes. Hate to be the one to ask :c

Can there be a version made with the vanilla units? Cool map otherwise

Hello! I have just seen this board, but I actually registered in July, even sent a few private messages and even secretly read a lot of topics but have not posted anything until today.

I made a map for SWBF2 in 2011. Someone recovered it in 2024 and messaged me this year. So obviously I got into making my final campaign for SWGB  . And then at the end of April I started making a new map for SWBF2 (and still making it) which was an abandoned raw idea from, again, 2011. I hope to publish it by the end of 2025.

Yes, except for "Make some of the add on unit classes available in the vanilla maps".

That's fine if you wanted to only adjust minor things. But if it's anything long-term, you don't give up (at least, not like that). If the issue seems to be hardware/OS-specific, give virtual machines a try. Even if you give up on swbf2, you will likely find a use for VMs from time to time.

Open the .odf file of a unit that you want to change (e.g. cis_inf_droideka.odf in C:\BF2_ModTools\data_RED\Sides\cis\odf, where RED stands for the 3 letters of your mod/map name). Search for "PointsToUnlock" and set the desired value.

Quote from: jlhcorwin on October 20, 2025, 04:17:55 PMEdit the weapons for a couple of the Heroes

Open the .odf file of the needed hero (e.g. cis_hero_countdooku.odf in :\BF2_ModTools\data_RED\Sides\cis\odf). Search for "WeaponName" to identify the weapon's odf file name (e.g. WeaponName1            = "cis_weap_lightsaber"). Now open that file (e.g. cis_weap_lightsaber.odf) and modify what you need.

Quote from: jlhcorwin on October 20, 2025, 04:17:55 PMThe Orbital Strike droid gets destroyed way too easily, so I'd like to give it more HP.

By this time, you should be able to do this following more abstract instruction: open the unit's odf, open the weapon's odf, change its MaxHealth.


As Led wrote, it's all possible with the mod tools and by reading tutorials (I first learnt with the Fierfek's Mapmaking Guide doc file which also has useful screenshots). There are also few videos on YouTube, mainly jedimoose32.

Here is a tip to prevent discouraging: you may come across a lot of links to gametoast but that website has been down for some time (with no guarantee of being resurrected). If you suspect that the provided links are the solution you need, try utilizing Wayback Machine.
