So BFBuilder only contains localization for addons, not the main game - these are contained the main game's core.lvl.  Mod maps you can add new scopes to be able to correctly localize using BFBuilder with no real changes.  If you want to overwrite the main game's core.lvl, you'll need something like this:
https://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=307 (Battlebelk Core.lvl Tool)

There is an alternative method which is kinda cool that was just discovered recently where you can create an addon core.lvl like you would for a mod, and then in your mission file you can insert something like this above your function ScriptInit call:
function ScriptPreInit()
    ReadDataFile("NEW\\coreaddition.lvl")
end
This would be most appropriate if:

• You're trying to overwrite data in the stock core.lvl but want to keep most of it
• You're not doing a traditional mod map

I've been checking pretty regularly but the most I've seen is three players. I have yet to see someone in either of the two dedicated servers (c.b.StarWars/SWBFGamers.com EU). That said I did manage to play a game with a couple people this morning which was fun  .

I have successfully added new weapons and classes to the game. Over the last 2 weeks I have been trying to figure out localization. I had little success finding info that showed me how to get it to work.

From the tutorials in understood that after creating a new project in BFbuilder, the localization can be done using the "Localize <modname>" button. This does open the multilanguage tool for me. Is it correct that initially there exist only the "level" and "weapons" scopes? And that the "weapons" scope only contains "snw" and "ewk" scopes? Is this correct or should it also be showing the scopes of the shipped sides in there?

Also, in what folder can the munged localization file be found? Or are they munged into the SIDE LVLs?

I am not the best person to ask about this since I'm still not amazing with animation hierarchy, but you should be able to look in the mod tools for the animation files and get familiar with them.

The only portion I'm sure of is that the animation banks are stored in the common.lvl and are named based on action like "human_rifle_die". The game stores the names of these animations to determine how it should react.  Human - has a rifle - and dies - use this animation.  However, they're all compiled in zaabin/zafbin files.  We have all the source for those in the mod tools, but they're a pain in the butt without a lot of documentation other than what the mod tools say.

As far as only doing a text change, you're out of luck.  I think the game does something silly like AnimationName = "all_inf_snowtrooper" which just makes it default to the human banks for any animations it needs.

I'm not 100% certain about BF2 but I know BF1 (Steam) had a server with 25 players on it at like 2pm eastern time (US)

If you buy it on steam or GOG it will all work like it used to. Hope to see you there!

yes, I see recently lot of new players, and still happy to see our friend gdh92!   

Yes, it's been consistent numbers in the evenings recently (European timezones) and a good mix of old and new players.

A good time to join games
