Latest: R1.5 (build 40905/01.5, Sep 6th 2017)
Overview
The Sol Map Pack is a map pack for Star Wars Battlefront II that adds maps set on various planets and moons throughout our Solar System to Instant Action.
Both stock eras include new sides with enhanced visuals and sounds, as well as new hero units. Also supports the Mass Effect era if installed.
Features
- 5 new maps set on Earth, Luna, Mars, Titan, and Venus
- Support for the Clone Wars, Galactic Civil War, and Mass Effect era on all maps
- New Battlefront: Evolved-esque sides, meaning gameplay and layouts stay the same, but models/textures/SFX have been changed/upgraded to fit the map pack's theme
- An eerie ambient soundscape that replaces each map's music (except Earth: Pioneer Trails), unique to each map
- Several new hero units, including but not limited to Rahm Kota and Asajj Ventress
- Game mode support for Conquest, 1-Flag CTF, 2-Flag CTF, and Hero Assault (Note: Game mode availability varies from map to map)
- A new Hero Assault soundtrack, set to selections from Holst's The Planets, Op. 32

Yep, that's right. R7 is finally underway! And best of all, it's primarily featuring the long-awaited Reapers faction! Here's a preview:
Aside from Reapers, not much else is set in stone just yet for confirmed features, but stuff that's already been done include the Charge ability for Vanguards (finally), a complete overhaul of the audio mixing, and many small bug fixes.
Oh, and did I mention we're going to be adding Galactic Conquest? Yeah, you heard me right! Our GC will utilize all of MEU's existing custom maps plus all of the maps from the Sol Map Pack.
As always, you can track our progress with MEU on the Trello board.
Oh, and feel free to join in on the dev streams on Twitch! I typically do MEU dev streams on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays - but I also stream games on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so feel free to hop into those as well if you'd like. ;o
In the meantime, prepare for R7 and give the latest release (R6.5) a download!

Really cool map pack bra! Luna is amazing!
Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoy it.
In the Luna Moon map, I found the location where the starfighters spawn.
(Ark-1-70 in the corner near cp 1)
(Vulture Droid on the edge behind the corvette)
I tried really hard to get on them but when they spawn they immediately take off.
It would be cool if you could ride starfighters in that map (or other planets)
Hi! Whenever I try to play one of the maps, the game crashes during the loading. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.
Hello! Sorry for the late response. Do you have the official 1.1 patch and unofficial 1.3 patch installed?
Also, do the stock maps and other mod maps load fine?
Please for the love of god make an option to turn off AI jedi. They are very annoying and spoil the fun especially on more constricted maps like mars. Other than that very good map design. But still hard to focus on how good the maps are when you get mowed down by an unkillable jedi every 15 seconds. Good job though.
Interesting, noted. It would be fairly easy to make it so there would be a text file or something in the mod's folder that, if present, disabled AI heroes.
Has this been done yet? I'm having this same problem too. I absolutely love the maps, but the AI heroes are starting to get really annoying. I don't really have anything else to say except keep up the great work!!!
uninstall instructions? Mainly just need the 3-letter map names. played through these maps and while they're awesomely designed, i'm addicted to new maps and am getting pretty high on my missions count. So these are a few of the maps i'm dropping.
All good, man.
You should be able to uninstall it by simply removing the "SOL" folder or (preferably) by renaming its addme.script file to something else (like "dontaddmeplsthx.script").
