Rends Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Thanks to Dragonum who posted the link at battlefront.de get the stuff here: http://www.fileplanet.com/section.aspx?s=100457&v=0
Alegis Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 goody goody! Time for the modders to proove themselves
Tyler_Durden Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 OH........ YESSSSSSSSSS!!! This is where it all begins, people. Thanks for the link. By the way, is there any way this can be uploaded to lucasfiles? I don't want to have to register an ID with fileplanet and receive spam emails from them.
Raxor Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 good to see that my fileplanet subscription isnt being wasted
Tyler_Durden Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Well i couldn't wait, so i got an ID. The tools themselves seem fairly complex. Looks to be good in terms of customization options. Big download at 410 MB.
Syzerian Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Bah, 40 minute est wait time in line Ok, Ive got the tools now. The tutorials only seem to tell you how to use objects from existing levels not how to create your own, plus you control the camera with the keyboard which makes it kind of hard to possition the camera the way you want. I managed to make some hills but somehow an illegal operation poped up.
TK-8252 Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Thankfully, it looks like modifying/adding units, weapons, and vehicles looks somewhat easy. If I can figure out how to "munge" ODF files, it looks like we'll see the Imperial Officer back in action (among many other things). But I didn't find the sound files. Where are they?
Syzerian Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Sound file, gamedata/data/_lvl_pc/sound/common.bnk
TK-8252 Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Heh... uh... how does one open a .bnk file?
Syzerian Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 No idea but I found another file with sounds in it. bfbuilder/assets/sound config files Just noticed it comes with an XSI addon, might download XSI now
Tyler_Durden Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 If you hit TAB you can switch to mouse look mode in order to rotate the camera. This tool is very complex, although if someone could tell me how to apply a land base that would be dope. Looks like i was right in that you can edit land height and width although i haven't quite figured it out yet. More later..........
Syzerian Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 Do the tools crash alot for you guys? They seem to crash alot for me.
Syzerian Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 Windows XP pro. It seems that if I click too fast or accidently click on the tab that is already active it causes an illegal operation. EDIT: BTW to use terrain there is a terrain tab under 'advanced' then activate the 'height/raise' tab and then its left click to raise and right to lower but youll have to do it in wireframe or you wont be able to see a thing. Still trying to figure out how to do lighting.
DarkReborn Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 what is the tool for editing mission.lvl?
Tyler_Durden Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 It's actually quite hard to make a new world as i can't even build a land mass. I think we're gonna need an in depth tutorial, Diesel style.
BountyHUNTER12 Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 Be nice if someone could host mirror for these tools because I HATE fileplanet for many reasons. The waiting in line , the in-ability to use segmented download, and no support for later resume. I guess Im gonna DL 'em(thank goodness I have Satellite!). A word from the wisemen: 56Kers Beware!
Ezralite Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 i'd be more than willing to host a mirror at my website if someone can send me the file... I kinda got unlimited bandwidth, so just if someone can send me the file, i'll host it. my site is http://www.louiemantia.com ill put a link to the file when someone sends it to me you can email it, or talk to me on aim about it and such... email: louiemantia@gmail.com aim: ezralite@mac.com // Lou

Lionheart Lonesome Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 ARE the tools and XSI 2 different things? If yes, where to get XSI (NO FILEPLANET)
Rends Posted December 24, 2004 Author Posted December 24, 2004 Yes they are different things. You need the mod tools to create levels (maps) and you need XSI to create new 3D Objects like buildings, vehicles characters ect... you can get XSI4.2 Mod tool version at http://www.softimage.com. But you still have to wait for the Battlefront addon you need to export the 3D models into a modtool readable format.. The XSI addon shipped with the modtools works only with the 500$ version of XSI4.2 Rends
