The goal of the mod is to retexture the SWBF2 sides to add some additional detail to their appearance. It should be compatible with multiplayer and the majority of mods/maps.
Merry Christmas to You All!
Today I released the mod that I've been working on for a while. I spent a long time trying to figure out how the mod should look. In the end I settled for retexturing the Empire and Rebel Alliance units, as well as some of the vehicles for the GCW era. In addition, some weapon models were changed to the ones made by the modding community. The mod was released in two versions: FULL and LITE.
The FULL version is basically the whole package. It includes the changes inspired by the Unofficial 1.2 patch, like individual lightsaber hilts for Luke and Vader and the proper weapon models for Boba Fett and Leia. It also uses Repsharpshooter's improved jetpack effect for Boba Fett's jetpack, as well as separate weapon models for the Imperial shotgun, Imperial officer's Sonic blaster and Bothan Spy's incinerator. In this version I also changed the Rebel smuggler model on Hoth to the Rebel pilot model. Similarly to the 1.2 patch, I also included T-21 as the award rifle for the Stormtrooper and A-280 rifle as the Rebel soldier's award rifle.
The LITE version is slightly simplified. It includes the changes made to the basic changes, but lacks the FULL version's additional fixes mentioned above. I wanted it to be an alternative if you use the stock Republic and CIS side.
I would also like to thank Repsharpshooter, the Battlefront 2 Evolved Team, and the Improved Sides Mod team for some of the inspiration for the mod.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You, People!

The LITE version of the mod is simplified and does not include new weapon models/lightsaber hilts for the heroes, award weapons and weapons such as the...
The FULL version of my retexture mod for the Clone Wars era. UPDATE: Added a new AWARD Clone Trooper rifle model. File updated.
The LITE version of my retexture mod for the Clone Wars era.
I'm sorry but someone can help me in a problem I want to uninstall the mod but I forgot to create a backup copy, someone can pass me those files please thank you
everything is good except that hooded anakin is stock and Bobas visor looks strange but other than all that it looks really good.
Have you thought about remastering the local sides? (Ewoks, Wookies, Gamoreans, Jawas, Tusken Raiders)
Actually, yes and no. There is an official unused higher-res texture for the Ewoks and I've been thinking about turning it into a mod. Plus, I've been thinking about remaking textures for Jawas, but, to be honest, I wouldn't bother to retexture Gamorreans, Gungans or Wookies.
How do I install this?
The detailed instruction is in the Readme file. Please take a look at it.
I love simplistic mods like this. They're good for users who prefer the vanilla models with a bit more polish. :P
Thanks! That was the point of the mod :D
Gives me Battlefront Evolved vibes. Any chance this was inspired by it?
I'll take that as a compliment :D Well, I basically wanted to use parts of Free Radical's cancelled SWBF3 textures to create new textures for the sides. But I'd say that it was influenced by the Unofficial 1.2 Patch, Battlefront Evolved and Improved Sides Mod. These are all great mods and they improve SWBF2's visual side in many ways. :)
