Dear friends,
It's been a while since I posted anything related to
Battlefront Zero, and that's because I was busy. Although I made updates, I didn't feel the urge of really updating this forum-branche and I'm really sad about it being almost dead. Till now, it still seems I stay the only one working on this actively most of the time, a lot of members have joined, left, or became inactive. There
will be another BF0 release, but I really need to be realistic after that, and check if I can do another release.
There have been several great things going on, here on GT. A whole new generation of skinners with Clone templates and whatever make the most awesome skins, all dirty, and very realistic. Before anyone starts asking, my skins stay
clean, since one of my main goals was always to keep the BF2 feeling --in some sort of way-- and changing all the skins I've made so far would be a lot of work, and as said, I just lack the time for it.
Then there's been some sort of revolution by DEV, kin and D.U.C.K. concerning Clone models. You can't think of all possibilities they've given us modders, with scopes, without scopes, with kama, with scopes and kama, without scopes, with kama, and added backpack

Great work guys!

I do want to say about those models, concerning BF0, that most
won't be used, as I'm trying to keep this simple. I'm almost using all stock models for the Republic, only some are changed. The Republic is also
done, so till I add another legion (and Special class) I won't need any special modifications --before anyone asks again why I don't use those models.
Then there's the main status, I've updated the first post of this topic. AQT finished my map, it turned out wonderfull, kudos to him

I've also done a lot of
bugfixing, on advice of Mav', just playing every single mode in every single era, and fix al small bugs. I'm almost done with that. Some bugs I fixed are for example:
-Fix muzzles
-Fix the Ventress model (she's not
fat anymore)
-Fix
a lot of localisations
-Make
all Force Powers, also from stock heroes, mine
-Create a new map (Dantooine) completely myself, Campaign only
-Fix icons and first person views
-Fix different team setups on different worlds
-Improve and 'specialize' different weapons, like Durge's blaster, the DC-15 Carbine etc.
-Added new semi-hero on Kashyyyk (Karniss)
-Give the Special Droid classes an advanced Rifle
Anyhow, in the future, I'll keep continuing this till 3.0 is fully done. Then I'ld love to see more positive replies than when the last release was there, and I'll decide for myself if I keep continuing this, or maybe something else, or nothing at all!
Thanks for your attention!
