Umbara: Airbase Xbox Edition v1.2 addon

[Description]

UPDATED: PLEASE SEE THE CHANGELOG BELOW

This is a DLC Installer that has been modified to install the 'Umbara: Airbase' DLC Map for Star Wars: Battlefront II on the OG Xbox. It includes the following maps:
- Umbara: Airbase - Clone Wars (conquest)
These installers were originally supplied by Harcroft and Amygrrl, the installer's modifications were performed by bk2modder. Copy the swbf2_XBOX_Umbara_Installer_v100 folder (extraced from the zip) to your Xbox and run the .xbe to install. See Install section for more details.

It is compatible with the existing DLC content (and should be compatible with Teancum's Xbox Mod). It works with copies of the game located on an Xbox HDD as well as disc versions!

Requires a softmodded/hardmodded Xbox or Xbox 360!

Current version as of writing: v1.2

Changelog for v1.2

• Deleted extraneous models, textures, and effects outside of map bounds that detrimented performance and memory usage
• Fixed blaster effects for Umbarans
• Pong Krell and Savage Opress now playable in up to 4 player splitscreen; Rex and OOM-9 no longer present
• Clone Troopers in 2, 3, and 4 player splitscreen now reflect their original, Pandemic helmet designs, but still use 501st skins and have simplified cloth/kamas
• B1 Droids now have unique textures in 1, 2, 3, and 4 player modes, with Snipers in 2, 3, and 4 player modes using a simplified Droid Marine skin instead of the complex camo pattern
• Magnaguards now present in 4 player splitscreen

Changelog for v1.0.1

• Fixed incorrectly sized trees near command post 6
• Fixed explosion effects for Umbaran vehicles

Because of the complexity of this map, simplifications had to be made compared to Sereja's original vision. The map size is reduced, and vehicles are limited to AT-RTs, BARC speeders, Umbaran Tanks, and Umbaran Fighters. There are no more local Banshees.

Additionally, splitscreen modes include various compromises to work on Xbox. See below. Each level of changes rolls into the next (so any omissions for 2 player splitscreen are omitted from 4 player, etc.)

Multiplayer (XLink or Insignia) default to the 4-player level of compromise to maximize compatibility.

1 Player:

• -Republic, CIS, and Umbaran sides optimised with lowered textures/models, some recycling of textures/models
• -No cloth physics (kamas are rigged similar to SWBF1 because I could not get them to consistently show up)
• -Republic Commander shares model with Heavy, but with pauldron addon
• -All Republic Clones have 501st textures

2 Player:

• -No kama for Clone Sniper

3 Player or Multiplayer

• -No BARC speeders
• -Umbaran Tanks reduced to 2 from 4
• -ATRTs reduced to 2 from 4
• -No Umbaran Fighters

4 Player

• -No vehicles

========================== Modded Xbox 360 Users ===============================
This installer has been confirmed to work on a Modded Xbox 360 Playing SWBFII.
But to play any SWBFII DLC on Xbox or Xbox 360 you'll need to ensure you have the Game Update from
Pandemic (which included "default.xbe, common.lvl, core.lvl, ingame.lvl, shell.lvl").
That update will either need to be installed under the correct 'TDATA' folder location or
you can take those files from the update and replace the ones that shipped with the game
