Installation:

Not that hard to do. First of all, put the "TES" folder into the addon folder located on Program Files (x89)/Lucasart/Star Wars Battlefront 2/Gamedata folder. Then put the "mission.lvl" on the stock data/lvl_pc folder. To finish, put the "side" folder on the same location as the "mission.lvl", It brings the asj.lvl, tcw.lvl, bf2.lvl, imp_urban.lvl, heroes.lvl and ben.lvl on the stock "side" folder.

Uninstallation:

Uninstall the "TES" folder, replace the "mission.lvl" by a backup one and delete all the ".lvl" files added by the mod on the "side" folder.

Note: I've tested the mod and he works well. You will need the Evolved mod to make it works better and see all the modifications better. You can download it here: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=29034.

Have fun !

EDIT : Released of the version 1.1 with a brand new hero for the Empire: Starkiller (playable in Felucia, Mygeeto and Utapau)

A little screen of him:



There is the tfu.lvl (who have to be in the stock "side" folder and the mission.lvl:

https://www.mediafire.com/?gidfbt2botzhm58 > mission.lvl

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Know bugs and glitches:

For some reasons, on some maps (with the Galactic Civil War era only) lightsabers have no sounds effects. In Coruscant (Clone Wars era only) Force Lightning have no sounds effects.

But, elsewhere, all works perfectly fine.

[TWINKEYRUNAWAY]

congradulations on the release! This looks interesting and im super glad you made a tfu patch for it. Its not done downloading but i will give you my full review when it is.

[Kingpin]

Love the addition of the Starkiller! Maybe you should make him the hero on Felucia

[Indytotof]

Have fun playing with it !

[CommanderCody]

Very nice Side Overhaul!
Will you make different skins on different planets as well?

Done for the alliance. You will need the Evolved (download link on the first page) mod to see some difference (Bothan on Hoth and Mygeeto and the whole Rebel Engineer unit, depending if it fleet, jungle or snow using.

For the Republic, On some maps, there is the ep2 clone or the ep3 standard clone. But I think I will use other clone legions.

[CommanderCody]

Ok, keep up the good work

[DarthVader]

Looks brilliant! Is this mod compatible with the AI Hero support mod?

[neapolitan]

If it changes the sides, then no.

If it changes the sides, then no.

I've the AI Hero Support script below the elbow so I can always add it to the mod.
And I always wanted to do that.

EDIT 1: After some attempts, I'm unsuccessfull in adding other clone legions so there will be no other clone legions (only ep3 and ep3 501st clone legion) for the Republic until further notice.

But there will be a Hero Assault mod in Coruscant.

EDIT 2: v1.3 of my mod now released ! Featuring a new Ben Kenobi (definitive look) and a Hero Assault mod in Coruscant, as you can see on this screenies:

Ben Kenobi: > Thanks to AQT for the skin.

Coruscant Hero Assault:

You have to replace the ben.lvl and the mission.lvl by them:

mission.lvl

ben.lvl

Have fun !

EDIT 3: Released of the v1.4 version of my mod, before my departure for Vancouver where I cannot have access to my computer with the addition of two new units for the Rebels, the Rebel Commander who replace the Wookie Warrior to make this side more balance.

Here is two screen for his two different form:

> This Rebel Commander is playable on all the map execpt Hoth and Mygeeto

> This version is playable only on Hoth and Mygeeto

There is the rac.lvl (to put in the pre-existing "side" folder") and the mission.lvl:

rac.lvl

mission.lvl

Have fun !

[DarthVader]

For some reason, both of the links are taking me to the mission.lvl but not the ben.lvl or rac.lvl.

Did you put the rac.lvl on the side folder of the game ?

Did you replace the mission.lvl with mine ?

[Alex9988]

I re-downloaded mission.lvl form 1.4 and it work

[commanderawesome]

Can you make and era mod version of this? Or at least add the everything via addon? I don't really like replacing my mission.lvl in mods.

Thanks for all your comments guys !

EDIT : As Maveritchell recommanded it, I've changed all the port by models made by JK3's and JKHub's communities.

EDIT 2: If kitbashing parts of ported models is forbidden for the copyright's sakes, I will always find a way to achieve my goals.

[Maveritchell]

Please read the copyright rules. There's no reason for you to be lazy and simply rip a bunch of models from TFU 1/2 when there are already community models (or even stock models) that are the same characters.

Done.

I does that originally for "graphic enhancements" and more movie/series accurates models. I found some amazing models on JKHub and JK3.

Sorry.

[Sandtrooper956]

Yeah it would be cool to get this as an Addon. It also seems like the Starkiller and Coruscant Hero Assault Mission levels are missing. I really can't wait to play as the characters from "Rebels"
