Unused GC Planets/GC Research

[AnthonyBF2]

I was bored so I screwed around in hex editor with gal1.lvl, I found 2 unused planet scenes/objects;

Tantive and Death Star;

*Moderator please embed those I suck at forum creation.

In the gal1.lvl the object occurance names are "tantive" and "dea"

and the odf file names for those seem to be gal_prp_death_star and gal_prp_tantive

And if anyone is wondering how I got the galaxy map to be playable, I just created a stock world, remove terrain, and added an extra line to read gal1 and munged. Of course had to use FC to use jetpack so I didn't fall out of the galaxy
ReadDataFile("GAL\\gal1.lvl", "gal1")

I don't know what could be done with this information but an idea would be add them as G era planets in a custom gc mod.

Edit: I am in the process to obtain all object odf titles and instance names (... for everything in gal1.lvl) and I will present them when done and organized.

OP April 2015, UPDATE Febuary 2016.
I forgot about this but I did get some information from the gal1.lvl file that could be used to farther help people customize their gc mods. It's basically a list of objects and the name of each object instance so you know what you're manipulating better.

Hidden/Spoiler:

Below is a list of every object (anything of useful value) I got from gal1.lvl that might be helpful to people
making custom GC mods
The RIGHT side is an object type (name of the odf file that the developer called in zeroeditor when making gal1)
The LEFT side is an instance of an object type with a name (the left side is the name of the object given to each instance of an object type)

notes:
"fleet 2" objects seem to be star destroyers
"fleet 1" objects seem to be rebel cruisers
"systems" seem to be planet objects
"stars" seem to be camera positions
there are other things like suns and stars used to match with each planet, i think death star is the only object
without a star or space objects, etc
there is 1 "galaxy" prop in the level, this seems to be the flat white rotating thing with a sun in the middle

i did not locate any cis or rep cruiser objects, i guess gc mode scripts have a way to call them on their own, idk i dont do gc modding

tantive seems to be a location, but i am not sure if this is a planet or a ship (if u go to that place u will see a
rebel blockade runner and a planet)

death star is also a location but it is alone and doesnt have any planets nearby or stars, or camera positions

They're not totally unused; they're used (I believe) in the respective victory montages for the Alliance and Empire.

[AnthonyBF2]

I think you're right but I need to play gc again to see, I need to mod in cheat menu to make things faster, i don't have the patience to play through it,I did it so many times on ps2... it's really boring now

[[RDH]Zerted]

Doesn't a cheat menu already exist?

[commanderawesome]

I believe those are also used in the campaign. Also, Anthony, you can set up custom GC conditions with the v1.3 patch to make it go faster.

[AnthonyBF2]

Zerted, no the cheat menu is not included by default in the regular game or your patch, it can how ever be added in the common.lvl by hex editing out a certain occurrence of hidden

And I don't have enough ambition to get into custom gc mods.
And yes Mav was right, the 2 seemingly extra planets are used in ending cut scenes.

[Maveritchell]

You know you can just use the BF2_ModTools.exe to configure your GC game how you like, right? There's no real need for special settings.

[commanderawesome]

Um, the cheat menu (which is called the fake console) is a normal part of the patch. There's nothing you have to do to get it to show up. And you can set up a custom GC game by clicking "versus" in the GC menu.

I think you're misunderstanding what the OP was referring to. There's a GC-specific cheat menu, and it's not what you're familiar with as the fake console.

[commanderawesome]

Oh, I never knew that LOL. Sorry.

[AnthonyBF2]

Bump and edited OP with possibly helpful information.
