A very, very simple side mod that just replaces the magnaguard with the classic b1 battle droid
Nothing spectacular; I just replaced the super battle droid with the b1, and the magnaguard with the super battle droid, that way each would appear in the correct proportions. I never much liked swbf2's magnaguard anyway. I also increased the super battle droid's health slightly to make it more of a threat than the standard b1s.
There was one mod I saw once that did the same thing, but it left the b1 droid with the wrist rocket or something that didn't quite make sense, so I quickly threw this together. Everything else beyond what is said above is unchanged. That includes the localization - the b1 will still be labeled SBB, and the SBB will still be labeled Magnaguard. Meant for ppl like me, who like the vanilla sides, but wish the unit proportions were a bit more like what was seen in the films. Enjoy!
To install, just place the "cis" and "cisshell" files in your gamedata>data>_lvl_pc>side folder. As always, be sure to back up the original files. To uninstall, just delete those files and replace them with the originals you backed up

Funny thing, I just did almost exactly the same thing last week but didn't upload it here (I just didn't change the stats, because I wanted the mod to be online-compatible, but I didn't get to test it online) :D Anyways, great job, your version definitely seems to be a lot more lore-fiendly :D
I would love to see this with out the stat changes and with Mr.Slavko's Dooku texture fix this would be my CIS side permanently. also be really nice to have the names edited as well.
I might change the localization later, but I made this just for my own use, and those are the stats I like, so they'll stay. But this took all of 5 min for me to do, and it would be even quicker without the stat changes, so feel free to do those changes yourself. Should be quick and easy
too much for me. But made me realize how hard you guys actually work on this stuff. Mad respect to anyone with brain big enough to figure that **** out i gave up after looking at marvels tutorial lol.
Everything is cool, but for some reason all units except the b1 droid and super combat are black.
Can u make a mod, that adds a b2-rp droid to cis, for example instead of droideka?
I like this but, the audio for the B1 replacement is missing. So its just silent now.
Back with more feedback:
The B1's are missing the explosion effect from the grenades.
No idea why that's happening. I'm referring specifically to the ones replacing the B2s.
Edit: All the droid explosions are missing. The anti-armor droid's rocket launcher explosion too.
Also, maybe increase the fire rate of the B2s?
Back with another update: I tried installed the B1s from a different mod and isolated the issue.
I think the missing explosion is caused by the B2s in the Magnaguard spot because installing the cis side file from the 2019 B1 mod but leaving the cishell file from your mod unaltered still leaves the explosion effects missing.
can you make the SBD have its accurate SBD chunks when destroyed??
I'll be honest I'm unlikely to update anything. My priority is mapmaking, and this cis side works well enough for me. It's extremely simple to do a mod like this if yall want to - I literally just copied the stock sides and changed the file names so different units load in place of others
