Shell.lvl

download link 1: http://zerted.rh.rit.edu:8088/swbf2/files
download link 2: http://rapidshare.de/files/23836761/Shell.zip.html (3.16MB)

How to install in 3 easy steps:
1) go to [Battlefront2 Directory]\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC
2) Backup your retail version of Shell.lvl. Do it by renaming the file or moving into a new folder
3) Override the game's Shell.lvl file (but keep a backup of it!) with the new Shell.lvl in download's zip file

What this does:
Many things, see the change log. Added support for maps with new game modes. Added coloring for custom maps. 'Unlocked' Campaign maps for singleplayer only.

Known Issues:
Mos Eisley claims to have Space Assault. This is the same as Hero Elimination. The problem occurs due to the way the developers coded the assault mode. A fix is being looked into...
The new game modes' strings have been hard coded into the selection screens. Due to this, they are not localized, sometimes show up as [null], and are in English only. A new core.lvl is the only way to fix this. Core.lvl munging is being looked into...

Notes:
Post any features or changes you want for future versions.
Sorry to all those who PMed me with new game mode requests. I forgot to add those.
For more info on game modes, see http://www.gametoast.com/index.php?name ... pic&t=5176
There is also a new Common.lvl here http://www.gametoast.com/index.php?name ... pic&t=5808

Darn, three strikes I'm out.

There is no Dagobah campaign map.
There is no Mos Eisley campaign map.
There is no avh mode icon (of course no one would have noticed that one).

Those maps don't show up in the selection lists. They just sneaked into the readme and are now removed from the first post.

Edit: what is BOC?

Great work Zerted. Was thinkin how i wanted to check out BOC for SP.

Wait, how are we to incorporate these custom modes into our own custom maps we make?

Post by **[RDH]Zerted** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 1:17 am

All the named modes (not c1, c2...) are supposed to be reserved until they are fully developed. I am currently working on a game mode installer, but my time is split between many SWBF2 projects, work, and I have to paint our deck before the July. I think the process of adding a game mode to your map is hidden somewhere on these forums. If not, I could write one up but like I said, I'm busy.

hehehe... deathmatch mode is sweeeeet......
nice work dude. LucasArts might get a bit ticked off that you're unlocking stuff that shouldn't be unlocked, but that's their fault for not allowing PAN to release new patches.

Oh, I honestly doubt they'll care. Games generally have about 6mo-1yr 'shelf life' before the devs/producers don't care. --- So they *might*, but probably not.

well i just wanted to start up a multi server with the campagne maps but doesnt work. that SUCKS badly.
the icons from campaign dont show up

Alpha · Post by **Alpha** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 11:21 am

I'm confused, does this add gamemodes to existing shipped maps?

sawyerdk9 · Post by **sawyerdk9** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 11:47 am

It adds the campaign maps for instant action. If you click on Coruscant in Instant Action. You will see a new icon and it'll be called Campaign.

Nothing more? (Not that, that is bad! But what about the Racing mode, Last Man Standing and so on, ain't those included?)

He did that on purpose. Campaign maps don't work in multiplayer. They weren't scripted to so you get all sorts of problems when you run them.

Those are for map makers to put in future maps. Nothing was changed to the original maps. If we changed something you wouldn't be able to play online with the original maps.

yep thats been said but then someone needs to make such a map first huh
