SWBF1 Modding / Re: WIP The Invisible Hand
Last post by Giftheck - February 16, 2026, 01:27:07 AMOver four years later, I have returned to work on this, looking to make some improvements to the layout and models:
-I'm aiming to add emissive to many of the 'lights' in the level. They won't be true lights since SWBF1 does not have glow, but it should look better
-I've made the droid hall much wider, you no longer can get trapped behind the stairs
-I've built new ramp modules to add some extra verticality and tweaked existing corridor modules so they can fit together more cleanly
-I've added an option to play with stock sides

Work is still ongoing so no ETA yet, this one's a bit more complicated than the Battle of Hoth tweaks (which are pretty much done at this point, expect a release in the near future of that)

SWBF1 Modding / Sidemod crashing once NPC unit...
Last post by B4rbarossa - February 14, 2026, 01:39:11 AMHi all,
I am working on a sidemod that aims to bring more gameplay variety to the factions/classes. I want to squeeze much gameplay out of SWBF1 without importing any external assets.
So far, it's been going great! But I ran into some issues that I have not been able troubleshoot:
Whenever I import a new class into the game and it replaces the wookie smuggler it crashes. But if said new class replaces the marksman class, the game runs without issue. The same thing happens after removing a grenade from "all_inf_soldier.odf". In both cases the crash occured as soon as NPCs spawned into the map.
For this mod I've only edited the MISSION.LVL for TAT2 and the SIDES.LVL for the game.
Any ideas of what could trigger these crashes?
Thanks for your time!

SWBF1 Modding / Third Era
Last post by TimoCruz - February 06, 2026, 05:05:54 PMHi, i've successfully managed to add a third era (KOTOR) to Battlefront 2004 using a shell.lvl builder and everything is running fine. However, I only want the third era to be playable on certain maps. Is there a way for specific maps to display 2 eras when i click on them in the menu and then others display 3 instead of every map displaying 3?

Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005 Original) / [Request] Simple Jet Trooper w...
Last post by laysan123 - February 04, 2026, 10:02:38 PMHi everyone,
I hope you're doing well.
I'm reaching out to ask for a small bit of help with Star Wars Battlefront II (2005) modding. I've been trying to do this myself, but I ran into tool limitations and figured it would be better to ask someone more experienced.
All I'm looking for is a very simple change:
replace the secondary weapon (pistol) of the Jet Troopers for both the Empire and the Republic with the standard automatic infantry rifle of each faction.
The rifle should be identical in every way to the one used by the regular infantry class, including limited ammunition and normal reload behavior (no infinite ammo).
No balance changes, no stat tweaks, no jetpack changes, just a straight weapon swap.
If someone could provide the edited ODF files or a small ready-to-use mod, I'd really appreciate it. I can test everything locally if needed.
Thanks a lot for your time!
