Battlefront, with mustard on the SIDE

[SPS-barbarossa]

Backstory
Hi all, about 2 months ago I ended up reinstalling battlefront and falling in love with it again. It was the first game that I ever installed mods on (after 14 year old me took 2 months to figure out how de unzip "starfiremodv1.1.rar").

Instead of installing the old mods again, I wondered how difficult it was to mod the game myself. To my surprise it was quite easy and the sheer amount of knowledge on this forum played a key role in development. So thank you for archiving the knowledge on SWBF1 modding!

Now, there is enough changes for a first release, so I present you: Battlefront, with mustard on the SIDE

A short description of the mod

The simple goal of this mod is changing the gameplay of the sides without adding new assets. Everything is done only by editing code while keeping balance in mind. All stock classes are maintained, while bringing more variety to their stats and equipment. At first glance it looks like the base game, but the gameplay is significantly different.

• The vanguard and shocktrooper carry different pistols.
• Timebombs behave more like a satchel charge, their big blast radius can be used offensively.
• The rebel pilot and darktrooper blast cannons are now different and more powerful.
• Scouts have holdout pistols that are only effective at close range, overheat fast and do heavy damage.
• Blaster bolts have been lengthened, the more damage a weapon does the bigger the bolt. Changing the look of battles and making it clear what is shooting at you.
• Sniper rifle bolts have lower velocity, giving the weapon a punchy feel while making it more challenging/satisfying to hit moving targets.
• Higher velocity for many blaster rifles and pistols

The file was a few MB too big to upload here, so I uploaded it on moddb. Over there you can also read the full changelog.

For the time being I will only release the GCW era since it's development is more advanced, new releases may follow if I get around to it. I don't do feature request, but feedback on balancing is welcome. I hope you have a lot of fun with it.
