Re: The HELLO / GOODBYE topic
Hello everyone.
I used to post on this forum under another username 10 years ago. Crazy (in a good way) that this site is still up and running! Very happy to see that there seems to be an interest in the classic Battlefront games.
I still remember how excited I was when I played the Battlefront II demo back in 2005 - the graphics blew my mind. The maps felt huge. I kinda laugh at it now, but even if the Battlefront games have aged, they still hold up and I still enjoy playing them.
Thank you Gametoast for keeping the legacy alive!

Hello fellow battlefront fan, although you must be quite older than me but we share the same views on the battlefront franchise.ModelJawa wrote:Hello everyone.

Re: The HELLO / GOODBYE topic
Hiya,
I'm a long time Battlefront II player that has played mostly on PS2 since 2006 and sporadically on PC in more recent years (circa 2010), after playing in various cracked versions for PC I finally bought it on Steam and got into modding due to an idea that has kept buzzing in my head for years (more about that later). I came here seeking help and, hopefully, to be of help at some time in the future. Currently I'm still struggling with XSI, but as aforementioned, this is not the place to talk about that.
I don't want to overextend my introduction, so I shall be brief about my personal info: I'm a spanish historian who loves the Star Wars expanded universe, from the movies (even Episode III and VIII), to some video games (like KotOR and Jedi Knight series), to the 2003 Clone Wars TV miniseries (my favorite).
I hope to see you around!
Yours sincerely.

Re: The HELLO / GOODBYE topic
Boy, has it been a very long time since I've browsed through these forums or what? I have recently been on a nostalgia trip, looking through my very old emails and image site hosting accounts looking over old fond memories and it brought me back here for a visit. It's nice to see my old animated website header is still in use even to this day, brings back a lot of fun memories of when I was heavily into the modding scenes for Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, various Half Life 2 source engine mods, and of course: Star Wars Battlefront II.
Over the decades I've tried to get back into modding again with The Elder Scrolls and Fallout series, but just never had the time to dedicate to those ventures with real life and other gaming community commitments.
I still have my ancient and now dusty PC from way back when I used to make SWBF 2 maps with me, though she hasn't been turned on since probably around 2009 or so when I bought my next PC. I think, unless I had repurposed the old hard drives from it, I may still have the old source files from my old maps as well as some harder to find assets given to me from other modders and from a Pandemic developer of unused SWBF 2 assets that never made the disc. If I can set aside the time and get her booted up again I'll see about releasing the source files for all of my old maps. Unfortunately with copyrighting and many of the other assets owners contact information being lost to the void over the years I won't be able to release anything that wasn't solely my own work, but at least my own works would be able to be learned from or continued on by anyone else interested in revisiting some ~12 year old maps.

Re: The HELLO / GOODBYE topic
Hello to everyone on gametoast. It's been a long while... I thought I'd check out the BF2 scene again and it's great to see that some awesome mods are still being made for this game. I think the last mod I made was Tatooine: Outpost going back about 10 years at least.

Re: The HELLO / GOODBYE topic
Hi Teancum, good to see your still around, and thanks I'll definitely check out the discord. I make movie posters now as my hobby but I might try modding again. I've been looking through my old release threads and reminiscing. Modding is the best

Hi! I used to mod SWBF2 a few years back and was thinking about it and came back here to see what was going on, but I can't get into my old account (Eaol) because I don't remember how to log into my ancient Gmail account so here I am as a new user!!
Do we have a Discord now, perhaps?

Re: The HELLO / GOODBYE topic
Discord? Discord! I jumped on but don't have an account so I can't post. Thanks Giftheck, I loved the gif you posted. Can't seem to PM you on here since your account page is invalid...
For all you people embedding and re-releasing v1.3, people are still emailing me their tech support questions about your installers . At least the answers are normally easy.
Hello and goodbye for another few years. I really haven't played or modded other games since SWBF2. Currently I'm binging LitRPG stores from Royal Road.

Re: The HELLO / GOODBYE topic
Heard yall finally got the prototype maps and assets for BF2 including "Bigger Utapau" and "the ISD with two hangars" (somewhat), wow, never thought I'd see the day. Now we know what was just outside our view in those old trailers and load screens: disappointment and unfinished ideas (but who am I kidding, I love those things). Thought I'd also just stop by and see how things were, glad this place is still being kept up.
Remember forums? Back in the old days you used to have to refresh these things to see new messages, now everybody's on these newfangled Xitters (sure to age well by the next time I come back) and Discords with their instant messages and walled garden information. I do miss the closeness of this place in its prime in some ways, but I also don't think it would have been good if I had just stayed here and only here, good to get out and experience the world and grow, y'know?
Learned a lot of good things here that helped me learn how to work on other games (and how (not) to support communities), and you bet I still take screenshots the same way I always did with those low angles and a character in the foreground to the left or right. Why fix something that isn't broken, after all? (The Engineer is broken, by the way, you should always fix that.)
Hope everyone's doing alright, hope interest in these games never truly falls off, and hope people are still making hundreds of takes on that same field on Geonosis to this day.
