Ooh it's looking superb!

Great work as ever laddie


Oh man, you are literally breathing new life into SWBF1 with your mods and maps! Really excited for these, especially Death Star and Coruscant. :cheer:

Hi! It's been a little while since I updated, so I thought I'd let you know where I'm at with this.

Map Pack 2 is almost finished now. A few issues here and there along the way, a few ideas that just weren't working, but I've got it into a state I feel relatively happy with. This morning I did the flyby videos and minimaps, so it just remains to be tested and tweaked where needed.

I've made a few tweaks to Pack 1 as well. You will need this updated Pack 1 to play Pack 2.

Pack 2 will contain the following maps:

-Coruscant: Financial District
-Death Star: Interior
-Mustafar: Hidden Facility
-Vjun: Bast Castle

Here's a trailer showing all four new maps:


To reflect the name changes, I've also renamed Pack 1's maps:

-Bespin will be called Bespin: Administrator's Palace
-Cato Neimoidia will be called Cato Neimoidia: Hanging City
-Kashyyyk will be named Kashyyyk: Mountaintop

Pack 3 will contain the last few maps: Dantooine, Endor, Yavin IV and Tatooine. I could not get Hoth working in the end, so that map will remain out of the collection.
Working on:

-Anniversary Edition V3
-Jedi Temple Training Hall - 2025 update
-Elite Squadron - Pack 3

In case anybody's interested, Elite Squadron Pack 2 is now available!

However you will need the upgraded Pack 1. For convenience, I have bundled the upgraded Pack 1 and Pack 2 together, which you can grab here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-battlefront-elite-squadron-for-star-wars-battlefront/downloads/star-wars-battlefront-elite-squadron-map-packs-1-and-2
Working on:

-Anniversary Edition V3
-Jedi Temple Training Hall - 2025 update
-Elite Squadron - Pack 3

Out of curiosity does anyone know if there are swbf2 versions of mustafar, coruscant, and kashyyyk? I haven't been able to locate them

Mustafar and Kashyyyk? Yes. I think those were put together by Teancum and Calrissian97. Coruscant? No. Like Bespin, Teancum ripped the map and I took it from there, turning it into a playable map for SWBF1. I have not converted it to SWBF2.

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.
Working on:

-Anniversary Edition V3
-Jedi Temple Training Hall - 2025 update
-Elite Squadron - Pack 3

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