51st RECON Battallion (WIP)

This is about the mod I'm making;

The 51st RECON Battallion also called "Green Socks Battallion"

It's a mod which changes the Republic on Coruscant, Mos Eisley/Tatooine, Mustafar, Polis Massa and Kamino. On that planets you can play as my RECON Battallion. Clones with reskins, new weapons (which are small, because huge weapons weren't logical for Recon i thought :D ) and a new hero: K'Kruhk. This hero has his hat, a cape (á la Vader) and his lightsaber off. He only turns it on when slicing (?) / swinging (á la emperor) I'm 90% done, only have to fix the hat (which is in his face), add the cape with Reps tut and voila!~

Things which still could be improved:

Hud Tags for weapons
Maybe more detailed skins
A cape for the Heavy Trooper

This mod is just for some variety in the SWBFII maps, nothing more. Planets given above, only works for Conquest.

Thanks! K'Kruhk's hat won't appear correct, but i think i'll publish it tommorow... The mod self isn't splendid and cool, it's just a nice add. I'm working on a bigger project which requires more of my energy, and when i was relaxing i made this, that's the reason. but thanks for the compliment Reiven

Very cool! Could you possibly explain the weapons and their functions please? Upon reading Recon_TASER, it just made me curious.

Sure. TASER is an Electronic Rifle. It's like the arccaster. Other weapons are as you read, launcher is rocket launcher etc. I did add new laser colors, and there are only pistol or rifle animations. That's why there's a chainrifle

TASER stick? Could you explain that, maybe ill add it... Its a new mission.lvl with a new side. This changes the COMMON maps give above. This only counts for conquest so in instant action and galactic conquest you can play as this battallion on Coruscant, Polis Massa, Kamino, Tatooine/Mos Eisley and Mustafar. Hope this is clear for all.... Planets not mentioned above have the 501st as Republic team (the common one)

New feature:


Saesee Tiin including horns will also be a hero (playable at Coruscant and Polis Massa)

New thing to improve:

Hex edit something so that i can give KKruhk and Saesee Tiin their names, not ObiWan or Yoda or whatever!

I know how to editlocalize, but i don't know how to modify the normal/common file. Let's say i make a map, munge it after i did the editlocalizing, which file should i replace? the core.lvl? I'll post new screens soon, if my horns and hat will show up the correct way :roll:

Will maybe include the taser, maybe i can create a sort of lightsaber, but only one move is possible, and it electrifies (?) the one you stabbed....

As said before, this is just a side work, i have bigger projects running. If anyone was waiting for this release (what i wonder) i have to dissapoint that one, I stopped working on this. Note that the heroes will still be released as soon as i finished the Jedi Pack, the bigger project i'm working on! So modderaters if you could please lock this :eobi:
