Well, I'm sure some of you have seen the screenshots in the Glamour Shots thread, and I feel that now is the time to open a WIP thread.

OVERALL PROGRESS: 89%


All maps feature Archer01's excellent Hero Support script (but only single player). Some units will make use of kinetosimpletos' random msh script. (Rouge Stormtrooper, Rebel Soldier, Rebel Sniper, Stormtooper Gunner, Imperial Officer, etc...). Each maps features excellent reskins by AQT, B.I.G._Cookie, and RougeKnight. Several new detailed models have been included, mostly from DEVISS and IndianaJoe (more on that later). Some maps (Naboo, Kashyyyk, Yavin 4, Geonosis, Felucia) have random skys/enviroments.

If you have a map you would like to have in the mod, I would be more then happy to include it. (it does not have to be a canon map) Also, if you have map that needs a few touch ups ( minor prop placement, barriers, pathing, mini-map) I will be willing to use it after IndianaJoe and I finish it.

I will be taking suggestions, but please don't feel insulted if I don't use them; IndianaJoe and I have been working very hard on this and most of the ideas are finalized.

Release date: When its done. :P

Screenshots:

I would like to give a very special thanks to AQT, B.I.G._Cookie, RogueKnight and Deviss for their contributions.

UPDATE 5/8:

Sides are finished, now a small preview.

All weapons (except the award weapons, sniper rifles, and the Z-6) overheat instead of having ammo limits.

Weapons are divided into several catagories:

Blaster Rifles are standard issue weapons carried by the main infantry units and some officer/special units.

Blaster Carbines are carried by specialists (snipers, rocketeers, engineers) as a backup weapon. They overheat faster then Blaster Rifles and do less damage, but are still fully automatic.

Blaster Pistols overheat instead of having ammo limits. They are only carried by riflemen and officers. They are pretty similar to the stock BF2 pistols.

Sniper Rifles have been tweaked; they now do more damage, but have less ammo.

Stormtrooper:

Weapons: E-11 Blaster Rifle, se-14r blaster pistol, Baradium Core Thermal Detonator (x1), Concussion Grenades (x2)
Variations: Snowtrooper, Sandtrooper, 501st Stormtrooper
msh changes: none
Class:Rifleman
Description: Pretty standard unit; has slightly more health then its rebel counterpart, but carries only one Baradium Core Detonator instead of four V-1's

Rebel Trooper:

Weapons: A295 Blaster Rifle, DL-18 blaster pistol, V-1 Thermal Detonator (x4), Concussion Grenades (x2)
Variations: Wears camo if applicable
msh changes: Human male, Zabrak male, Kel-dor male, Tantive IV trooper
Class:Rifleman
Description: Again, a pretty standard unit, set up similar to the BF1 Rifleman class. MSH changes (as seen in the pic above) help add variety to SP matches, but will only appear for the host in MP matches.

Stormtrooper Sniper:

Weapons: DLT-19s Sniper Rifle, E-11 Blaster Carbine, Baradium Core Thermal Detonator (x1), Dispense Health/ammo (x2)
Variations: Snowtrooper, sandtrooper, 501st, Scout Trooper
msh changes: none
Class:Sniper
Description: Snipers have been tweaked a bit; they now have the same health as their rifleman counterparts, however Blaster Carbines overheat faster in a firefight and should only be used for close quarters combat.

Rebel Sniper:

Weapons: DC-15s Sniper Rifle, DC-15 Blaster Carbine, V-1 Thermal Detonator (x4), Dispense Health/ammo (x2)
Variations:Wears camo if applicable
msh changes:Rebels vanguard, alt vanguard, gran, Tantive IV trooper
