Updated...
Mainly just some stat changes. The burst rifle is just another mode of the blaster rifle that the assault units have (shares ammo with automatic mode)
THe award for 12 kills or whatever with a rifle/carbine is electrobinoculars with orbital strike beacon (it doesn't replace the rifle though, its added to your setup) which is kew...
Switched the sniper/pistol awards, getting the head shots awards you a "assassin pistol" and the 6 kills is the beam rifle. The head shot thing with the sniper was pointless, it doesn't matter where you shoot them, they are dead- unless your using the E5 sniper rifle (CIS) which is automatic making it really easy to get head shots.
Another thing I did, all units have less health. I likes it, everyone has 50-75 less health points. Much more fun.

Now, you must unlock the rocketeer class. Way to much explosive power for a default class. Some more good news, Acemastermind exported some of my models for me, so now the clone pistol, KYD-21, DH-17 Carbine and DL-18 are ingame. The lightsabers had some problems and i just finished the updated westar34. Ill send the updated sabers (one of which has an extra fire point for back hand saber) and the WESTAR for exportation today.

Burst rifle? So that's basicly the award rifle from the shipped game, right?

Are you sure its the one made by Archer? I ran your mod BFX with it and it was fine......hmmmm maybe i should see if removing the hero mod helps with the error im getting with your mod (the one where theres only primary clone armor and only 5 unit types)

Lol, Achronos, thats exactly the error. Syth and Arc_Commander had to modify the mission.lvl (Its essentially the mission LUA files for all the shipped maps) in order to load the extra units. Thats why they won't show up in mod maps. (Unless they have a compatibility patch based on exporting the SetupTeams portion of their mission LUA's into a function file and then putting that in its own side level alowing for 5 kb compatibility patches; like me. )

Of course, if you know who has the source or do it yourself, you could just make a compatible merge of the two.

Kay, i accidentally over-written one of the default sides and it caused some problems, so i went to my backups and wudayaknow, i didnt have it.
So i try reinstalling BF2 and wudayaknow. Disk 1, that will run the game fine, cant install the game. After it starts the installation process 20% threw it makes weird noises and gives me some "can't install some file because of some I/O error" junk.

gggggrrrrrrrrrrr :x

So now I must go buy a new BF2, or find some illegal sight that has the gamedata- but of course i rather spend $20 then 20 hours of bandwidth... thats some bs...

Unless someone knows a way around this or what the problem is.

Syth, I don't think LA will send laywers to your door if someone sent you their side lvl back up.

I haven't been following projects as well as I should, does this change campaign? I mean, if they're having to modify mission.lvl I could always create a custom gametype for The Battlefront Project. That way they could run it all from an addon folder. It might also be possible to create a Enhanced Campaign button if they're wanting to run through the campaign again with this new mod. Technically it's all possible, but it's up to the authors because they'll have to put a bit of work into it as well, such as:

-renaming the custom rep.lvl to rep_enhanced.lvl (and the others) -then making lua changes accordingly
-changing stuff like corc_c to corc_ec (Coruscant, Clone Wars, Enhanced Campaign) - this would involve renaming the lua, the mission.req references, and the reqs in /common/mission

I'm not promising I'd jump on this just yet either. But it's something I'm certainly willing to discuss.
