Off-topic : Alright, Karnage, if you do not mind this Decision, I have modified the message containing the Download URL of this Star Wars Battlefront level so as to include an additional link, pointing to a ZIP Archive which must be extracted inside the "[Hard-Drive's letter]\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\AddOn" directory, as it will add a Movie, associated to the concerned map, showing up in the "Instant Action" Module...

Sweet! :

Thanks Leviathan, I couldn't figure the whole movie thing out.

Off-topic : You are welcome, Karnage, but now you're watching this thread, might I know if you would eventually accept to provide me the LUA Scripts associated to both this Star Wars Battlefront Project and the one called "Clone Wars Space", as I would be highly interested in bringing slight modifications to them ?...

Thanks in advance !...

Karnage · Post by **Karnage** » Sat May 20, 2006 1:12 pm

Sure no prob i'll PM the link to you.

Leviathan · Post by **Leviathan** » Fri May 26, 2006 1:07 pm

Off-topic : Well, Karnage, thanks to the resources you have recently provided to me, I have conceived a Minor Update for the Star Wars Battlefront level you dedicated this thread to, which is basically intended to revamp its integration in the proper Pandemic Studios Product and can be obtained through the message you originally used to give us a URL pointing to the concerned map...

Karnage · Post by **Karnage** » Fri May 26, 2006 1:20 pm

Might I know what this update is and how to use the "Mustafar_Update.110" file (have never heard of that extension before).

Leviathan · Post by **Leviathan** » Sat May 27, 2006 10:32 am

Off-topic : In fact, Karnage, the file I have talked about in my previous message was supposed to be a Microsoft© Windows Application, and I guess the problem you seem to be currently facing must be caused by either a corrupted Download of the concerned file or by a wrong Uploading through BaDonGo.com, and that's why I would like you to try obtaining this Update again while I'm checking whether the way I have exploited in order to host this Patch has been properly followed...

Leviathan · Post by **Leviathan** » Sat Jun 03, 2006 1:31 pm

Off-topic : Alright, this time, I think that the numerous problems related to the Extension of the Update I have talked about earlier and intended to the "Mustafar : Refinery" level are henceforth worked out, as this Patch has been transferred inside a ZIP Archive, which should technically guarantee the complete Integrity of the attached files I have slightly modified...

Karnage · Post by **Karnage** » Sat Jun 03, 2006 1:59 pm

Might I wonder as to what these updates will do to both concerned maps?

Leviathan · Post by **Leviathan** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 10:22 am

Off-topic : In fact, we cannot really say that the Updates I have conceived for the levels you have ported from Star Wars Battlefront II to Star Wars Battlefront bring major changes, Karnage, as I have simply modified the "case" of these Maps' Titles appearing through the "Instant Action" Interface, erased a few useless Entries contained into the LUA Scripts you submitted to me a while ago, and created International Localization Keys intended to the numerous Starships you have joined with the "Clone Wars Space" map...

Holy cow! That is gorgeous!

BTW, there are quite a few of us Mac gamers who still play SWBF1 since well, SWBF2 is simply not available to us unless we decide to buy a new Intel Mac and install Boot Camp

Anyway, it's great that new maps are still made for SWBF1

I only wish we were able to make SWBF maps on Mac

Off-topic : I have equally to say that it is unfortunate for GameToast members owning an Apple® Mac OS®-based Platform not to be able to play a LucasArts video-game like Star Wars Battlefront II, additionally to the fact the "Modification Tools" intended to it cannot be installed on this sort of Systems. However, I assume that requesting a few informations regarding the possible conversion of both these two Softwares toward a Specialized Company, such as Aspyr®, could be worth a try, Walrus...

PS : By the way, welcome on GameToast Bulletin-Board !...

Walrus · Post by **Walrus** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 9:38 am

Yes it's a good idea Leviathan unfortunately since the release of Intel Macs and Boot Camp, things are rather complicated for Mac game companies such as Aspyr

Long story short, companies like Aspyr are taking a "wait and see" approach as hard core Mac gamers can now "simply" install Windows on their new Intel Macs and run the latest games without waiting for the Mac version.

But anyway, there are still many of us Mac gamers who enjoy SWBF1 and play it often and we certainly enjoy many of the maps that has been created by the PC SWBF community

So thanks, and hopefully there will still be people who make SWBF1 maps

Leviathan · Post by **Leviathan** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 10:49 am

Off-topic : You do not have to worry about the fact Aspyr® could be potentially "annoyed" by the recent Release of Apple® Boot Camp, Walrus, since this Specialized Utility requires the obtaining of Mac OS X Tiger v10.4.[X] additionally to a Platform founded on an Intel Corporation® Processor, and as this last Company will publicly provide its "Conroe" Central Processing Units in a short while, I guess that those willing to get their hands down on a Macintosh will surely await for the arrival of brand-new Technologies - Partly intended to the highly-widespread PC's - before making their Decision...

Hey... I know you, Walrus! I've done a few games with you... But anyway, back on the 'current' topic... Yes,it is rather sad that people like me who do not have Intel Macs cannot run BF2. It's just so **** annoying! Whenever I look at the BF2 forums, I see all these maps that look wonderful, and really wish that I could play them. Especially now with that whole "Something wicked this way comes" thing on the main page! I really want to play that, or join the GT clan, or many other things. But... until some company is nice enough to provide BF2 for Mac... Walrus, I and other Mac gamers will have to stay with BF1. Sigh... But anyway, there are ways of making maps on Macs, and Leviathan is being nice and teaching some of it to me(click here). So, all is not lost. So, thanks Karnage, and everyone else who are making maps for BF1. Good luck on all your maps.

Off-topic : Alright, before saying that conceiving brand-new Star Wars Battlefront I / II levels intended to Apple® Mac OS Platforms is nearly impossible, I would nevertheless add that one Pandemic Studios Employee registered on GameToast Forums - And having become rather well-known using "psych0fred" as Username - have designed and publicly released Updates intended to ZeroEditor (Which is the Label given to the concerned LucasArts Products' Mapping Utility), as stated at this web-page. In case you are still wondering what the above Remark could exactly mean, then I would simply tell you that this GameToast member must own the Source Code of this Tool, which implies that submitting it to a Company like Aspyr® might allow Macintosh Users to be able to build their own Star Wars Battlefront I / II Environments...

Off-topic : OK, Walrus, in case you would be eventually interested in getting your hands down on a minor Patch conceived for the Star Wars Battlefront Project mentioned inside this topic, then you should look at this Savefile web-page, while reminding to you that the *.ZIP file you will download so will have to be extracted inside the "[Hard-Drive's letter]\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\AddOn" Path, in order to allow you to take advantage of a few changes affecting the integration of this level inside the aimed LucasArts video-game...

Thanks Leviathan

It seems that the AI is indeed smarter than before, although occasionally they would still bunch up and just stand around.

Leviathan · Post by **Leviathan** » Sat Jun 17, 2006 3:22 pm

Off-topic : In fact, the least I can say is that most of the modifications brought by this Patch built for Karnage's "Mustafar : Refinery" level are far from directly affecting the Artificial Intelligence of Units called inside this Environment, since I have especially proceeded to a Cleaning of a few Stuffs shipping with this map...

Walrus · Post by **Walrus** » Sat Jun 17, 2006 3:25 pm

Ah I see.

The only problem I noticed with this map is the AI issue. Other than that, it's simply gorgeous
