| Haha! I just bought Battlefront II for 2.99 USD on Steam! If anyone wants it you better buy it quick! It's this weekend only!
If I had more money I would have bought a ton of gift copies, but due to personal sh*t going on, I don't have much to spare. Sorry guys. :( | |

| It's not that easy, you must use 1.1. Most of the copies you find online can't be patched to 1.1. Sure, some can, but most times, the patcher doesn't recognize the installation. Using the Steam version is easier. | |

Agreed. I actually had plans to replace all of the models with the models from SWTFU but I lost interest after replace the Clone Trooper and Clone Commander with new models. Or really, it's because I have no idea how to rig new models. :\ | |

| I think the game look fine as it is haha. I played like 5 minutes at 2AM last night, it was pretty fun. Wish it had the maps from ES though, now that would be cool! | |

Yeah the graphics are fine but it'd still be neat to have SWTFU quality graphics. Also, there's some guy who's working on porting the maps from SWES. He's not just recreating them, he's actually ripping the exact models and textures used in ES and putting them into SWBF. Although he's yet to finish or post screenshots, he has posted a few images of characters like X1 and X2 ported into SWBF. | |

| Doubt that would ever happen. Unless he possesses the tools required to both decrypt the map files AND the knowledge on how to translate them from MIPS... Which is almost bare bone assembly unless you have the tools that the devs used and then he would have to recompile to x86 instructions... I just don't see it happening, not from one person anyway.
Hope it happens though.
Ironically, it would be easier to port the ES maps to the PS2 version of BFII because the PS2 used a MIPS based CPU and it would be much easier to port because of it. | |

Ironically, it would be easier to port the ES maps to the PS2 version of BFII because the PS2 used a MIPS based CPU and it would be much easier to port because of it. He's using a 3D Model ripping program to get the models from the game. I don't think it'd be any easier to port it to the PS2 version. I mean, once you have the recreated .wld file (map file for SWBF2), all you need to do is set the "Munge" program to compile the files into a LVL file compatible for the PC/PS2 version. In other words, once he ports the maps and has their .wld file, the file can be compiled for any version of SWBF2, even the PSP version. If anything, it might be harder to port them to the PS2 version because of limitations. That reminds me, I found some text in SWES's iso that refers to a PS2 memory card. Probably a left over from some other game, but it could mean that ES was supposed to be released on PS2.

| SWES has a ton of leftover content, as you can see from some of the cutscenes, which have a completely different look and animation (ex the scene with Falon Grey) | |

| Well it appears the project is dead. He said that "Ninja Ripper" would separate the models into smaller models or something. :\
But porting the maps is totally possible if you can rip the models, preferably in the correct layout as well. | |

| I loved Bespin, and basically all of the other maps. The most played map by FAR is Bespin, the least played is Yavin 4 or Vujin... Don't know why, I guess the map just didn't settle well with players. | |

Well good news, I ripped the entire map from the game into an OBJ format model. However, the entire map itself is too high poly for one model so I have to find a way to reduce the poly amount or at least separate the model into several different chunks and then put them together in the SWBF2 map editor. If this works, that means I can port any map from ANY PSP game in general, not just ES/RS. | |

| You think it's actually possible, if so please post results of your testing..
Also, I wish the weapon and customization system that was in ES could be ported to SWBFII. | |

| Is it a lot like ES? If so, please show me the link or download to it, I'd love to have ES on my PC hahaha. | |

| Well I could but some of the commands crash and I probably should create a separate menu for it instead of just placing it in the fake console menu.
But it does allow you to change textures and change Weapon Slot 1, 2, and the explosives slot. I think that's as far as I got before I lost interest. I can try to finish it if you'd like to have it though. | |

I completely forgot about that map.. Loved it because you could snipe everyone across the room, while your team had to hold the flanks.. Memories ftw Although my favourite map is by far Tatooine. Bespin is up there as well. | |
