Download

To install, run installer; to uninstall, run uninstaller on start menu. If you don't like the hud, run GET_RID_OF_HUD.bat in Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\DATA\ No need to move lvls, it won't delete your original lvls, it will rename them out of the way. You can still use Zerted's common.lvl for freecam, an ingame.lvl with fakeconsole is on the way (60% done).

Note: if you downloaded this before Saturday March 8, 2008 @ 10:45 A.M EST, please download THIS and paste these two lvl's in Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\DATA\FPM\REP\ Thank you!



Abstract:

This "patch" (technically is a mod) will overhaul some of the game's assets, while keeping online compatibility with the previous version. This is basically just meant to clean up some of the mess Pandemic left behind as they rushed to get the game out. Some of the main changes are the new hud, new weapons, accurate chunk models, skin fixes, and extra effects (such as environment mapping). Hopefully this will make the game a more enjoyable and immersing experience when playing offline or online (it remains compatible online while still offering a variety of new features for gameplay).


FAQ

Does it work online?
Yes.

How do I install it?
Run the installer exe and make sure the filepath points to your \Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\DATA folder.

Does it work with other mods?
It'll work with mod maps, the Conversion Pack, and possibly the +123. It however will not work with mods similar in nature to BFX.

I hate the hud.
So go to \Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\DATA and run GET_RID_OF_HUD.bat It will revert it back to the original shipped hud. If you change your mind, run RESTORE_HUD.bat in the same place.

Why didn't you add new weapons/units?
That would crash your game online, which is not good. So I was limited to certain things that I could do.

Why didn't you _______?
There are some things that would ruin online compatibility, and others I just didn't have the time to address. Keep in mind that this is a "hobby," and required hundreds of hours on my part to produce.

DarthD.U.C.K. wrote:thank you, this patch is great!

but why are assajj and kit gone?

Cause they were never there? That's been moved more towards the conversion pack, which is compatible with this.

What is wrong?

You only had the shipped lvls in? Is your game somehow different than the standard one? Also check GameData\DATA\_LVL_PC\ for an ingame.lvl, likewise go to \SIDE\ and check to make sure there's the all, cis, imp, and rep lvls.

EDIT: Munging a new, NO-HUD, ingame.lvl, for those that really oppose it.

• rep.lvl
• repshell.lvl
• cis.lvl
• cisshell.lvl
• imp.lvl
• impshell.lvl
• all.lvl
• allshell.lvl
• ingame.lvl
• repcomm.lvl
• reptroop.lvl
