ThrawnMod
Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2008 3:53 pm
I suppose it's more a beta than a full version, but here it is.
ThrawnMod is what I'd like to call a partial RPG modification, since that's what it was originally made for (an RPG server). It's still usable for battle, though.
Here's the readme (I know it sucks, but I'm a modifier, not a readme writer.
):

Introduction
This modification was designed with online roleplay in mind (specifically for my "Thrawn RPG" server, which would use this), although it's still possible to run standard battles with it just fine.
Changes
Most of the editations are to the team heroes, but I did alter some standard units slightly.
Boba Fett is now HK-47.
This change was brought about due to the fact that in Thrawn RPG's from-a-certain-point-of-view prequel, "After EP6 RPG", this assassination droid confronted three Imperial Stormtroopers as they were escaping the volcanic world known as Mustafar. The Stormtroopers struck a deal with '47: if he didn't kill them, they would allow him to come with them off of the planet. The droid reluctantly agreed, and he later recieved both a memory wipe and a slight reprogramming, making his new masters the higher ranking members of the Imperial Remnant.
Darth Vader is now Pellaeon.
Since Vader was Palpatine's second-in-command, I thought it only fitting to do this.
Emperor Palpatine is now Thrawn.
Darth Sidious was the leader of the Empire, and five years after the Emperor's death, Grand Admiral Thrawn assumed command of the Imperial Remnant.
Chewbacca is still Chewbacca.
Han Solo's partner's bowcaster now fires red blasts.
Luke is still Luke.
I changed everyone's favorite Jedi Master's lightsaber system, removing knockdown, increasing damage, and altering the deflect system.
The New Republic/Rebel engineer is now a Duros.
There aren't enough non-humans in the game.
Installation
Unzip the .lvl files anywhere, right click them, press "copy", go to where your game is installed (usually "(Insert Drive Here):/Program Files/Lucasarts/Star Wars Battlefront II/GameData/DATA/_LVL_PC/SIDE, create a new folder in there (name doesn't matter), move the "ALL.LVL", "ALLSHELL.LVL", "IMP.LVL" and "IMPSHELL.LVL" into that foldier. Finally, paste the copied files within "SIDE".
Uninstallation
Copy+paste the files within the new folder back into "SIDE", overwriting my new ones.
Errors
Chewbacca's bowcaster still has a green muzzleflash. Tried and tried to fix it, but it just wouldn't change.
