Hey, I am a fan of the AAT as posted above...

According to the books there are three droids manning an AAT.

Perhaps you could leave the turret gunner as is

add in a second gunner to control the anti-infantry blasters (currently the pilot's weapon)

and give the pilot control of the six missile tubes along the rim of the repulsor sled.

I haven't done ANY editing to vecs yet... would love to learn though so I can do things like this myself... any tuts that are good?

I'll be looking at the hovernaut maybe. It's a pretty lame vehicle so if I can just find one from the star wars universe that works better than that one we made up (the new guide to vehicles may have something) I'll just replace it with something else. Otherwise it's about as exciting as the MTT.

I was under the impression this was a very powerful vehicle. I was looking around in the Alliance assets and saw that the Hovernaut had blasters, beam canons, and missiles. It doesn't look that boring, though.

Err.... we aren't supposed to waste forum recources, and I have a question for Fred... so erm... I am posting it here to save space... if that's wrong just delete it or something and I apologise in advance.

HEY Fred, I am making LVL files to overwrite the defaults so that I can use my favorite units and weapons on shipped maps.

I have changed my Heros, and they are called Mace Windu and Count Dooku even though they aren't them.

Are localization files munged into the SIDE LVL, or is there a MASTER localization file for all the current units?

A prop would be nice, but maybe Majin could make it into a wrecked vehicle turret. It's got that beam canon turret on top.

The AAT's crew consists of four battle droids. A droid pilot and two gunners occupy a small cockpit in the hears of the tank. The droid commander sits just behind the primary laser cannon, surrounded by battlefield sensors, a communications array, and secondary control systems. Both the pilot and commander have access to a stereoscopic cam and periscope scanner, and can plug directly into the AAT's central computer in order to receive detailed information downloads. The pilot can also open a front hatch for direct visual sighting. Handholds on either side of the tank allow the vehicle to carry up to six additional battle droids.

Intended for frontal assaults, the AAT's primary weapon is a turret-mounted laser cannon designed for long-range strikes. Secondary laser cannons enable targeting of smaller vehicles. Finally, a pair of short-range antipersonnel blasters located near the foot of the tank concentrate on enemy troops.

The vehicle is equipped with six launch tubes that fire standard high-energy shells. Armor-piercing antivehicle shells and explosive "bunker busters" designed to level buildings are often standard. Fired shells are encased in plasma in order to increase both speed and penetration. AATs can typically carry up to 55 shells, but when this payload is depleted, the vehicle must return to a Trade Federation landing ship, battleship, or base, where reload stations remove the lower portion of the tank and install a fully loaded replacement.

Fred, did u help make those books?

Will those models be in *.MSH format or munged ?

That's a good news... Re-create *.ODF files "manually" from *.LVL files isn't what we could call interesting... But I'd like to know what you mean by "just like was done with BF1"...

(Are you talking of *.X files extracted through LVL Extractor ?...)

Another vehicle from the Clone Wars game.

I'm assumming psych0fred is converting/making a new one of these, since as far as I know was a Clone Wars only exclusive vehicle and was never planned for Battlefront.
