Err... hello there! i used to mod a bit for SWBF... it was i that made the popular dark trooper mod (atleast i think its was popular cause i got alot of mails about people liking it alot) but i have made a big break and plays SWG. but i decided to try SWBF again.. and i wanted ot mod for it ofcourse... and as i found all these great maps and such with jedis and alot of cool things i decided i wanted to see if i could do something with them (only for myself though) so i downloaded ultra-edit open a mission.lvl file of a downloaded map, go into hex mode and word wrap... and get alot of strange symbols... i try to search for the code string imp but it cant find anything... so could someone help me to get back on trail again? (BTW i think its another version of Ultra Edit i have.. the one i used before had yellow marking line but this one has light blue)

hexediting...hm...that was before the old republic.
don´t you know that we use blasters lightsabers and of course the modtools now?

i do know that.. but not how.... and i think HEX editing is the best way to mod the things i want

The tutorials are a good place to start, try the link to sat labs or the GT tutorials section. There are of course the mod tools which I think everyone would recommend, they come with loads of documentation etc..

it all depends on what you're modding

are you modelling? changing the scripts in the game? - I guess that's what you used to do and are you mapping?

get bf builder pro... it is the single best mod tool out there IMO

Im not mapping... i would like to change some classes for already existing maps though...

well, get the Mod Tools and check out the different files out there's in

and btw, a lot of 'us' is using Xfire to chat, and easily ask about stuffs

I'll guess its hard for y'a to get back - but I think you know what you do

well, all I know is bf builder pro gives you all the sides info... all the skins, files, weapons, units, vehicles... and they are really simple to change. Whenever Rouge Clones: First Assault finally gets put up on filefront, it is on the Geonosis: Spire map, but their are new units like you wouldn't believe... It'll take you 5 times to play the map and discover everything thats in there.

err.. where to find bfbuilder pro then?

erm... somewhere on this site... hold on I'll get the link for it.

lol - no

that's just the Mod Tools

you don't 'have' to get BFBuilder Pro

just get the Mod Tools

go to the Front Page, and there is a link called something like this:
SWBF Mod Tools: *link*

enoy

Fileplanet if I remember correctly.

Could someone give me al ink to da' mod tools?

Modtools:
http://www.fileplanet.com/148801/140000 ... tion-Tools

also should download the boundary fix:
http://www.gametoast.com/modules.php?op ... tit&lid=20

hope this helps.

I also think you should get Xfire

can you learn me to 'hex-editing'?

err.. u need user thingy for fileplanet...

free sign-up, unless you want ultra-fast downloads and no wait, then it is 9.95 usd. I suggest sticking with the free one.

Err.. i downloaded BF builder.. but the only thing u can do there is to make maps... not edit existing maps and add classes... from other maps

well, you get ALL the FILES and COMPONENTS to the different maps

and EVEN more - In Shipped Common Animations, you can see: end_weap_treesmash - which probably is that AT-ST Ewok tree-smasher and below, there is: end_weap_tripwire - which I havent seen in the game

but you can change ALL the files - and after you've modified them, you can add them to your map, and THATS how most of us mods
