A BF Mod Idea
Posted: Mon Jan 24, 2005 7:30 pm
This has been an idea that has been circling around for a while, especially at the EU mod boards: a KOTOR mod.
It would be the same principals as the EU mod, but may ultimately be easier, as KOTOR is already an existing game, while the New Jedi Order is not. Here's what I think would work:
-The EU mod team is working on finding a way to add a third campaign series and two more parties without replacing existing ones. If they can manage that, then adding in the Sith and Old Republic forces would be easy.
-If it isn't illegal, there is bound to be a way to convert KOTOR models to be playable in BF, by way of a 3d program or something.
-The talented mappers here, should they want to, could do maps dealing with KOTOR locations (with what I've seen they would be top notch
).
Basically it would involve adding two new parties (Sith and Old Republic), and maps that could play on Clone Wars, GCW, and KOTOR campaigns.
Here's what I'm not sure of, and would ask the mappers and modders here to answer:
-Have the appropriate tools been released to make totally new player models for BF ? (whether or not they replace an old one)
-Is it possible to have custom music in the maps, so that the music from the KOTOR soundtrack could be used?
-Is it possible (and okay) to convert KOTOR models?
If anyone has any suggestions, answers or comments, please feel free. I'm not trying to start a mod myself, but I just wanted to know if anyone else besides me would want to see something like this.
