Essentially, if you’ve installed the mod correctly (you’ve just dragged and dropped the download into your gamedata folder), then you’ll be able to play any mod maps you have in a galactic conquest mode, provided that:
1) they’re supported by the mod in the list provided (if you’re favourite maps argent supported, let me know and I may add them in the next update)
2) you limit yourself to around 25-30 planets worth of maps in your addon folder (I.e. you could have 5 yavin maps that could all count as 1 planet)
That’s kinda it really

If you have Origin version it does not support mods. Make sure you have the Steam version.

After downloading the Unofficial Patch V1.3 it may create a new folder separate from your Steam directory. If it does just allow it to.

Next, go to the newly created directory, copy the Gamedata folder, then go to Program files (X32, 64, 86, etc) and find Steam, Steamapps, Common, Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005) then paste your copy of Gamedata. It will prompt you to replace the current Gamedata folder. Go ahead and do so.

Next, any mods you save to Gamedata should work, provided you have done everything correctly.

Really love these custom conquests by you, Jedi_Jack. Novel and definitely nice to have as an option! Only wish splitscreen/multiplayer GC was supported in the PC version to enjoy these with friends

Hi! Is there any reason for wich both options appear on the galactic conquest menu, but neither starts when i click? I have your extended galactic conquest mode installed(awesome mod btw) could that be it?

Thanks for the support, means a lot 😊 and yeah there’s a bug in the original mod GC code that means if you have multiple GCs, the game reads them in numerical order, but the bug will overwrite the ability to click on the lower numbered GCs. I fixed it with my mods, so they should all be compatible together, and most of them will be with any other GC, unless that GC’s number is higher than one of mine (so in this case 2 is obviously going to be lower than any other). But I’m glad you got it sorted, enjoy!

If you’ve installed it correctly, then the custom_gc_2 file will be in your data\\_lvl_pc folder (not in the addon folder) and it will appear in the menu. You’ve also got to have the 1.3 patch or anakins patch installed. If it’s not in the menu, it’s one of these 2 things you’ve done wrong

Then sorry, not sure what else to suggest. I’m fairly confident that, even without either patch, as long as the file is in the correct place the gc will appear in the list (though I can’t test this). If it’s not showing up in the list then the file must either be in the wrong place or you’re somehow using the wrong file? I’m not too sure. Feel free to message me directly on here though and include screenshots and stuff and I might be able to identify a problem. It could be another file is clashing with it but I won’t be able to know unless I see it

Currently, no. The PC version never supported Galactic Conquest multiplayer, and a lot of that kind of code is not accessible. I’m sure someone might be good enough to do it one day, but I reckon it’d mean changing an awful lot of the game

This is so cool; literally the thing I've wanted the most since I started playing mod maps for this game back in 2007! I've experimented a bit, and everything so far is working except the three Rebel Ops maps. When I attack (Aquilaris, Big L and Bakura) there is a long list of possible game modes I can select, but no matter what I pick, after that I can't get past the "Choose Bonus" screen. Just thought I'd report! Very thankful for this!

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. There seemed to be an issue with the file downloading from the primary server it was trying to use (DBolical SJC #5 (CA, US)). Don't know why. I tried a few of the mirror servers and they all seemed fine. I've reuploaded the file exactly the same as before, and now when I try to download it, it's coming off #10, and working fine. If you, or anyone else reading this, get this issue again, just click on mirror after you click download and try downloading it off of a different server. If you're still having issues, message me directly on here with an email address and I'll send the files over to you directly as soon as I can

Don’t know if you’ve fixed this on your own or not yet. If you haven’t, it’s probably because you’ve got another galactic conquest mod installed (any of mine should be fine though as they’re all compatible). To fix it, just move the file for the other GC mod into the zzzGalactic Conquests folder provided with this download

Hi, this mod looks great but I'm having trouble using it. I followed the instructions to the letter in both text documents that you provided. I moved the "addon" and "data" folders from your file to the "GameData" folder. I also downloaded some of the compatible maps and placed them in the addon folder. So now my addon folder has all the three letter folders for the maps I installed and then a folder called "ChooseYourOwnGalacticConquest". I go on the game and click on the Imperial and Rebellion Galactic Conquests and nothing is different. All the maps I installed are available for Instant Action, but the Galactic Conquest is no different than how it usually is. Am I misunderstanding this mod? Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Jedi_Jack - - 240 comments

Yes you're misunderstanding I'm afraid. It doesn't change the stock Galactic Conquests, the mod SHOULD add two new buttons to the list called "Choose Your Own" Rebels & Empire. There should be a file called custom_gc_2 within your data -> _lvl_pc folder (that's what you downloaded from the "data" folder within the download), and it sounds like yours hasn't added properly. Take a look in your game folders, and if that file is missing, try moving it manually from my download. If you have any further issues with it, just let me know

Hi thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I still do not see the option of "Choose Your Own" within the game. So I double checked and I do have the "custom_gc_2.lvl" file in my _lvl_pc folder within my data folder. I even reinstalled the game and placed the folders back into the files as a sort of last resort, but also to no avail. Any other ideas, possible solutions, or things I may be doing wrong?

Hmm, I've really no idea what's wrong with it then. Even when I've got basically nothing else installed, as long as I've got that file in the right place, the GC's appear in my list, even if they're not playable. I can only assume you must have some other mod clashing with it but I can't think what.

Forgive the obvious question, but you've got the v1.3 patch or Anakin's remaster mod installed right?

Also maybe check out Savage01st's download tutorial video here: Youtube.com it's possible it might highlight a step you missed or something.

Going to also send you a direct message on here with some images of the folder layout to confirm they match up with yours

This had been working brilliantly for a while as rebels, but when I select attack Dagobah, it for some reason tries to load Geonosis Battlefields and crashes. I assume this is because I should not have had geonosis battlefields in my addon folder, although I figured it wouldn't be a prob since it doesn't have gcw in it and it wouldn't load in when I did galactic conquest as rebels, but I guess not. Next time I'll be more careful!

Doubt it’s this mod causing that. Most likely things I can think of is that this mod is putting you over the 500 mission limit, so you could try removing a few things from your add on folder. If you’ve got the modtools, or even just the debug.exe, you should try opening the game in that and see what’s causing the crash, and if it is related to my mod then please let me know and I’ll get it fixed for you

Again I’m somewhat guessing here, but I’d imagine it’s because you’re trying to load too many planets into the GC. If you’re only just under the 500 limit, this is likely going to be too many. Read the documents that came with my mod, especially the one titled ‘Really do read me’ in the name, as this will help you set up your custom GC correctly. The summary is, don’t try to have more than 30-35 planets. If you’ve got nearly 500 missions, you’ve probably got a lot more planets than I suggest and it’s causing it to crash

Any maps that are in the addon folder will get read by the GC, that’s how it works, so yes any you don’t want in it need to not be in your addon folder.

I’m not familiar with the elite squadron map pack you’re referring to, so it won’t be supported. The list of map packs that are supported are in the included excel document, and how to only activate certain maps from them can also be found in the other documentation.

Those maps are from the TORFront map pack. If you have another mod that has TOR as its 3 letter code, the game will try to load it as TORFront. I tried to make sure only maps with 1 era are supported by that era, but there’s over 400 maps supported so I’m sure I missed a few.

AGAIN, THIS IS ALL IN THE DOCUMENTS YOU SHOULD READ BEFORE PLAYING. All of these questions arent an issue if you read how to set it up properly.

As for why it’s going to the main menu, I haven’t got a clue, that’s weird. I’ve played hundreds of hours testing my mods and have never come across that. A problem with the mod would just cause the game to crash, not return to the Home Screen. I’m guessing you’ve set something up wrong, but don’t have a clue what, sorry.

I assure you i read both of them, and i was still confused about a couple things aside from the installation, that much i have did correctly, but those readmes definitely dont state they're going too read my TOR era mod(came out in 2016) as TORfront, im gonna try again with that folder out and see if it fixes my problems

Alright so after removing the tor era folder,i went too see if it would work, i had 31 planets, so when i would load into a match (both before and after removing the tor era folder) it would have all classes unlocked when naturally you shouldn't have more than 1 or 2 if you spent the initial 1000 on a unit too train, i normally build a 2nd fleet before anything else, and then after the completion of said match it would then kick me too the main menu, then i went down too 30 planets and it finally loaded all up correctly in a match, but then after the match the game would just crash, i had too take it down too 26 planets for it too work and not crash after the first match, also minor bug report, ai heroes are spawning on dathomir even though neither team had a leader bonus, doesnt appear too happen on any other map ive got

Ok so I've been playing around with this all afternoon, but I've been unable to recreate any of these issues. I've been playing with 32 planets without issue, though it is possible you'll run into bugs depending on what planets you have: if you have very few of the stock planets for example, particularly those that act as fixed star planets, you'll still have a high number of paths and that could lead to issues. For the sake of the tests today, I played with a mix, some stock planets removed and some kept. I also played all 4 eras, no issues on any of them, though I'm guessing by your later comment you were playing either as the Republic or the CIS yes?

I can't figure out how or why you're starting with all the classes, you're right that you shouldn't, and every time I play, I've only got the 2 standard ones (one for ground, one for space).

Didn't manage to replicate any bugs after building a second fleet either.

Crashing after the map could be related to that particular map, not sure there, as usually a crash like this will occur when trying to load a map.

Yes you should definitely be able to have more than 26 without issue. I've played 35 before.

AI heroes spawning isn't a bug, its a feature of that map the author put in. For some reason it only works for Clone Wars era (hence why I've guessed that's the era you were playing) and I can't see why it doesn't for GCW but there you are. The hero option in GC has no control over the AI heroes as they're a mod addition. You'll find them on a number of other mod maps too.

So yeah, all very strange. Can I ask a few questions to see if I can figure out what's going wrong on your end:
- Which version of the game are you playing? (disc, steam, etc)
- Are you using Anakin's remastered mod?
- What maps exactly do you have in your addon folder? Including the ones you tried when you tried to play with 30/31? I can try to replicate the issue with them and see if I can see an issue with this combination.
- Do you have any other GC mods in your game?
- Any other significant files you think might be useful? Such as skin changers, etc?

If it's easier, please feel free to send me a DM about this instead of posting your answers on here. Appreciate now you've got it working in some form you might not care, but I'd be interested to see if I can spot the problem so I can highlight it for yourself and anyone else in the future.

Thanks

Sorry it took me a little while to get back to you. Had a feeling it might take a few hours to look into this properly (it did) so needed to wait until I had an afternoon free again.

Firstly, great selection of maps there. Note though that Elite Squadron Kashyyyk and Mustafar aren't supported by my mod.

So using your map list, I was able to recreate and investigate the bug you found. To simplify it a bit, these maps along with my mod are caused by some kind of data memory limit coded into the game. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to solve it.

I think I've found the main culprits of this: HarrisonFog's DLC maps. They use very large texture which, when combined with the rest of the maps and my mod, fill up the memory pool. Remove any 2 of these 4 DLC maps (Sullust, Tatooine: Sandstorm, Battlefront 2 Remaster Training Room and Geonosis [Realistic]) fixes the problem, allowing you to play with all the other maps on your full list (note the 5th DLC, Tatooine: Outpost, doesn't help lower the memory pool limit).

I didn't test every map, just the most likely suspects (the biggest MB ones) so it's possible there could be just 1 map on your list that if removed fixes the problem too, but this is the closest I could get.

So yeah, you've basically hit a in game limit that's quite hard to do and there isn't really a proper fix for it I'm afraid, but hopefully now you know what the issue was, it's helped a bit.

Finally, thanks for letting me know about the sky box. Turns out it wasn't just Sullust, I'd messed something up for all the non-stock planets. Don't know how I did it, and think it was isolated to V2.01 and not V2.0 (you may be able to correct me on that depending on which version you downloaded) but I've now fixed it for V2.1, along with a few other bugs, including one to fix cwendorhoth. I'd recommend downloading V2.1 to fix these.

If there's anything else I can help with or you come across anything else, just let me know! :)

To anyone else that was stressing for awhile because everything was in the right spot and you spent time redownloading and re reading the instructions getting frustrated that it was not appearing in your game, I just redownloaded the 1.3 patch and ran it again and now it is fixed. Hope this can help one other other person lol. I read everything over and over and made sure everything was in the right spot and looked and read every comment here a few times for some hints. Literally like I said I just redownloaded the 1.3 patch and fixed everything so i guess that is what was screwed up for me. Cool mod btw :) thanks!
