After recently playing some old ≈ 2005 era bf1 maps and getting re-entranced into the old legends lore, I've been putting together this large scale ground assault map, set on the planet Tangrene from the Thrawn book "Dark Force Rising". And also decided to dig into the world of bf1 discoveries and was surprised by how simple it was to implement the extra units via Phantom's work, they're not final and just placeholders at the moment so should hopefully have some more interesting equipment.

I should have it finished within the next two weeks, as theres not much left to do - just boring stuff like downsizing the files and making some new weapon odfs.

all credit to dark_phantom for his patcher to make the extra units possible. He rocks!

Looking good! Your mods (mainly the sides) always make me think that they're like the dice games if they were actually good haha

More than likely it is indeed something to do with the OSA, I noticed a couple of older sites that i'd visit in the past have been timing out since the start of last month. weird how it loads up completely fine on my iphone, but then again my knowledge of how websites work is very limited LOL

Quote from: PhilMitchell6 on August 02, 2025, 06:37:25 AMi've tried the link on the released assets thread, however the folder containing the misc models is empty and secretsociety doesn't want to load (not sure if the site is dead or it's just my internet being weird).

It's been a while, hasn't it?

I've begun working on Pack 3 by starting with Tatooine:


Bear in mind this is an early version. There are some shadow volume Z fighting issues and the sound streams had not been loaded in at this point.

This one was probably the trickiest to do: Teancum's original map is entirely object-driven and I wanted to recreate the terrain, which had to be done from scratch. I also realised working on it that a lot of the buildings are simply stock Mos Eilsey buildings scaled up to 1.25x scale. So a lot of editing of those buildings happened too.

Pack 3 will contain the remaining ground maps (Tatooine, Dantooine, Yavin IV, Endor, and Hoth). The fourth pack is planned to contain the ship interiors.

After that, I want to create a hard-wired, full-on large-scale conversion which in essence becomes its own game separate from SWBF. I am currently planning out what that will look like (it will feature 6+ classes inspired by Elite Squadron and SWBF3) and will have more info further down the line.

yeah, fred is old school with http and not https
