INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
*************************
Extract all files.
###IMPORTANT: Backup your _LVL_PC folder###
Copy "Data" into your "Star Wars Battlefront/GameData" folder. If you are asked to replace files, click "Yes" or "OK" (or, in Vista onwards "Copy and Replace").
In order to play Jabba's Palace with the new sides, you will need to remove "tat3" from your addon folder. Otherwise, the addon version will override the mod version and the map will load with stock sides.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
*************************
Q. How do I install this mod?
A. Simply follow the instructions above.
Q. When will you release the assets?
A. At some stage in the future.
Q. Any plans for future versions?
A. Yes. I am working on an altered Bespin map, but this was not ready for this release. I will also look to bring in the newest Naboo: Theed map when it is ready as a replacement instead of as an addon.
Q. Is this mod compatible with addon maps?
A. At this moment in time, the answer is, sadly, no.
