Hex BF1 maps for BF2

[drbob76]

After now having a bit of experience with hex editing for another game, I was wondering if anyone had more knowledge on hex editing for SWBF2 that I could do for the Marvel4 BF1 maps. Specifically, I am looking to A) remove all vehicles and turrets, and B) have only some classes for each faction specifically; Rebels: rifleman, sniper and engineer, Empire: rifleman, sniper and engineer, Clones: ep2 rifleman, ep2 sniper, ep2 engineer, Droids: rifleman (which I changed to a B1 battle droid), engineer and droideka. I would also like to be able to change the heroes.

Here is how I have it arranged in the Lua files for SWBF2's base maps, using the ones from the Coruscant map as an example:

        imp = {
            team = IMP,
            units = 32,
            reinforcements = 150,
            turret = "all_bldg_defensegridturret",      --change this to imp_bldg_defensegridturret once the odf has been set up
            soldier  = { "imp_inf_rifleman",7, 25},
            assault  = { "imp_inf_sniper",1, 4},
            engineer = { "imp_inf_sniper",1, 4},
            sniper   = { "imp_inf_sniper",1, 4},
            officer = {"imp_inf_sniper",1, 4},
            special = { "imp_inf_engineer",1, 4},
           
        },
        all = {
            team = ALL,
            units = 32,
            reinforcements = 150,
            turret = "all_bldg_defensegridturret",
            soldier  = { "all_inf_rifleman",7, 25},
            assault  = { "all_inf_sniper",1, 4},
            engineer = { "all_inf_sniper",1, 4},
            sniper   = { "all_inf_sniper",1, 4},
            officer = {"all_inf_sniper",1, 4},
            special = { "all_inf_engineer",1, 4},

        rep = {
            team = REP,
            units = 32,
            reinforcements = 150,
            soldier  = { "rep_inf_ep2_rifleman",7, 25},
            assault  = { "rep_inf_ep2_sniper",1, 4},
            engineer = { "rep_inf_ep2_sniper",1, 4},
            sniper   = { "rep_inf_ep2_sniper",1, 4},
            officer = {"rep_inf_ep2_sniper",1, 4},
            special = { "rep_inf_ep2_engineer",1, 4},
           
        },
        cis = {
            team = CIS,
            units = 32,
            reinforcements = 150,
            soldier  = { "cis_inf_rifleman",7, 25},
            assault  = { "cis_inf_engineer",1, 4},
            engineer = { "cis_inf_engineer",1, 4},
            sniper   = { "cis_inf_engineer",1, 4},
            officer = {"cis_inf_engineer",1, 4},
            special = { "cis_inf_droideka",1, 4},

Would also like to know how to switch command posts to other team, like set team assigned to attacking to defending and vice versa.

You don't need to edit anything with the hex editor. Marvel4 already shared his conversion scripts on Gametoast: https://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=24321

The last link is exactly what you're looking for. I hope it helps.

Thanks for the response and the link. This seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. My only other question is, once I have edited the scripts, how would I apply them, or munge them, or etc. in order to play them?
