The Dark Times
by Maveritchell
--------
Thanks for trying out "The Dark Times!" This is a more-or-less experimental mod; I wanted to just try out some things I thought would be interesting tweaks to the game and figured that this mod would be a good platform to use.
This mod adds the "Dark Times" era to your instant action list. Several different modes are available in the Dark Times era:
Conquest (all maps)
Hero Assault (Coruscant, Naboo, Mos Eisley)
Duel (Mos Eisley)
Wave (Coruscant, Death Star, Felucia, Hoth, Kamino, Kashyyyk)
Space Assault (Space Corellia, Space Dantooine, Space Nar Shaddaa, Space Raxus Prime)
Team Dogfight (Space Corellia, Space Dantooine, Space Nar Shaddaa, Space Raxus Prime)
--------
Notes on individual modes:
Conquest: Includes random skydomes on outside maps, Random heroes and AI heroes in singleplayer
Hero Assault: New saber combat system - light/heavy attacks, charging force powers
Duel: Hero assault minus force powers
Wave: Objective-based survival mode; enemies come in "waves." All waves SP-only, except Hoth and Kamino
Space Assault: Standard space assault with new space vehicles
Team Dogfight: Team deathmatch with starfighters, includes space heroes/hero vehicles, AI heroes (SP)
--------

to tell you the truth, i didnt like this mod too much.
here's why:
-Horrible heroes :(
-units are hard to control
-laggy
-nothing new
Lag is only ever a function of your computer, this mod doesn't affect it.
Perhaps you could elaborate on "horrible heroes," because that by itself doesn't make much sense.
Nothing new? Are you daft and you just missed the long list of new things in the release post?
If the units seem hard to control, that's because you aren't used to them. They are very different (new melee system, also, see above complaint where you posited "nothing new"), but that doesn't mean they are difficult to control.
Those aren't really very well-thought-out complaints.
im sorry.
the lag has stopped now that i have upgraded my system.
by "units are hard to control" i mean that they are kind of slow and the guns are not that good
i didnt really like the heroes because the force powers were kind of lame (and the "charging" was kind of annoying). another thing is that they were confusing. for example i would choose obiwan and have to adapt to a windu attack, aayla secura also has some weird attack. vader cant dash or do his "null" attack and basically the most fun elements of each of the heroes was taken away.
ive been playing the mod a lot more recently and ive gotten used to it. All-in-all i actually liked having some new heroes/units once i got the hang of them.
Great Job with the mod although i still think that there are some annoying elements in it such as speed of units, hero attacks/forces and etc.
Anyways im sorry if my original post was too vague and i could see how you could get insulted by it so heres my explanation/apology.
All of the heroes are supposed to be different - and that shouldn't be an indictment against them simply because they're not what you're used to. I suggest you read the "NewSabersystem.rtf" document in "Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\addon\BDT\DarkTimesdocs"
i think ure mod was great far more original than the others
yeah the units are hard to control(i did something that removed the error but i don't remember what) the other things are good XD
well does there come a new version??
this mod is great, thanks for your hard work, do you have any other mods for this game? ^^
This Mod is awesome!!! I especially like the Heavy Trooper with his Electrostaff. :)
Before I download this... does it add files or replaces them?
This adds files. It does optionally replace some of your original config files, to update the game to the unofficial 1.3 patch (a requirement for this mod). The unofficial 1.3 patch does not break any compatibility, online, offline, mods, or otherwise.
Ok thanks Maveritchell great mod 10/10
I hd a question, would this mod work along with the conversion pack just fine if these are the only two mods i would use for the game?
Sure. There are no compatibility issues with the two.
There is a fixed limit to the number of missions (scripts) the game can load, but the Conversion Pack and Dark Times by themselves don't exceed that (the Conversion Pack takes a little over 50% of the limit, but Dark Times adds less than another 10%).
great mod i espescialy liked the hero ships in dogfight although it is a bit hard to tell the difference between biggs x-wing and the normal one so maybe in a update you should add some lines on the sides like the ones on his helmet in a new hope
awesome mod :D
umm when im trying to install this i get an error about a file not being able to be transfered anyone else getting this?
could this be because i have another mod installed? because iv got the unofficial patch 1.3 and Conversion pack. because there are no ther things i can think of that would make the game think one of this mods files are corrupted
ok nevermind it worked
Er, I install the mod to my gamedata in my steam steamapps common battlefront two folder, but I dont know if it worked or not because I cannot see the new maps or the new modes in instant action, anyone help me with this?
how do i download it?
very cool mode +10000000000000000000000
Is dark times 2 the 2nd version of the first one or are they completely different?
I cant seem to make the installer work
I tried different things
I tried just running it
I tried erasing all my game data
But every time I open Battlefront 2 I see no changes and no trace of it in the folders(Yes I did make sure I was installing to GameData)
Plz Help
'install into "Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData"'
lucusarts > Star Wars Battlefront II > GameData
OR
steamapps > Star Wars Battlefront II > GameData
do you mean
steamapps >> common >> StarWars battlefront II >>GameData
Did it change the first person cockpit view of the starfighters cause im so sick of using the rejected firstperson cockpit view, is that also same with the infantry and the jedi first person view?

2.no NIVIDIA
3.Have DirectX11
