A simple, online-compatible mod I made for my own use and decided to share. It makes a number of small changes to the Imperial side. Stormtrooper and Shocktrooper get their models from the Wii version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Some weapon models have been changed and some characters' textures slightly updated (for example, the Dark Trooper model, to make it more consistent with the Stormtrooper models). Based on Giftheck's Imperial side from his Visually-Improved Sides Mod for SWBF1.
I like these models! I use them for my private mod as well, only thing that turns me off a little is that when you run, part of the black mesh will phase through part of the white armor. Its not really a fault since the models themselves were intended to be used for bf1 where sprinting isnt a concern.
Yeah, there are some issues with them and they may be a bit blocky here and there, but I feel that they fit SWBF2 pretty well, plus I just think that they look more realistic than the stock SWBF models. I am amazed that these come from a PS2/Wii game. :D
I've been wanting a mod like this for awhile. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the kind words! Glad someone found it useful :D
Cool, what new updates are there my friend?
To be honest, I keep changing smaller details back and forth when I come to the conclusion that I'm not too happy about them.
EDIT: To anyone reading this - As of February 2022 I am updating the comment with the release of 1.6, since the original comment is outdated at this point.
Main changes:
- Restored Giftheck's Stormtrooper texture (as it felt more natural);
- Brought back the Scout Trooper texture from the earliest releases;
- Made a slight update to the Death Star Gunner texture (because it felt slightly 'lifeless' to me);
- The sniper rifle and AWARD rifle have been changed to DLT-20A and T-21 respectively;
- The Sandtrooper's backpack uses the stock model from the original game
There have been a couple more changes, but these are probably the most noticeable ones.
without the blue stripes/markings, it frankly just looks like regular stormtroopers to me
Well, I don't remember writing anywhere that these are Triton Squad Stormtroopers :P
The mod uses standard Stormtrooper models converted from Wii/PS2 version of TFU, and that's just it
What happened with the previous version??
