Use 7-zip or WinRAR if it is a .rar file. Modders like to use those files because they compress better than normal .zip files do.

It will be an executable just like the SWBF1 Pack or BFX.

an executable is just an auto extracting zip file right?

It's not a .zip file because it doesn't use ZIP compression, but yes, it is an autoextracting archive.

And guys, while I'm flattered that some of you are excited for this, questions have gotten to the point of being inane. "What kind of file is it?" "How big is it?" These are not things that really matter. Chill out and just wait for it to be finished. Only post if you have a real question about content.

Galen Marek(aka Starkiller) will have four force powers,right?
he uses lightsaber throw,force repulse,force push,sith strike,grip and lightning.And that's not four.

In other words:
What force powers will Galen Marek(aka Starkiller(aka Darth Vader's secret apprentice)no more aka's) have?

All the Jedi in "Force Unleashed" have more than four powers; it's simply for balancing (and playability) reasons that they are limited to four here.

thanks,i get the massage(just got to my brain)
But in TFU my fovourite force power was grip,(another but)but in SWBF2 you can't carry people around(to bad :cry: )
I really like carying people around in JK series as much as in TFU.
I hope that someone finds out how to do that in SWBF2(if possible(i hope it is))

The physics in Battlefront aren't that advanced, I believe it is impossible to find a way to manipulate bodies or objects around the field with the game's engine.

Anyway, if you really want to grab random things and toss them around, go play Half-Life 2 (it's good).

Definitely not true, you just play around with the entity matrix.

Off topic: I've just had the worst Idea ever for doing that!, would it be possible to have the same animation as choke for that (or a different one), without the target taking damage, and have the target's location relevant to your character stay the same as your character's view/location changes? would that be possible ?

On topic: I know the questions about the files were ridiculous, but my computer is a big picky about 7z sometimes, which is why I asked.

Stop asking questions. :roll:

Seriously, just wait until Mav releases the mod, it should be soon. You will find answers to all of your questions when you play it. Be patient! Geez.

Smug, I'm beginning to seriously doubt that you've read all the posts. If you look back far enough, you can find a Hero Assault preview video.

The preview...not a list of all the heroes, I was not talking about assault heroes, like ingames heroes, like to press F1 ir F2. And, fine I will stop asking questions.

All of the "in-game" heroes are in Hero Assault except for one gunner hero, the other versions of Starkiller, and of course space heroes.

I only played space heroes once and I don't like it: as darth vader for example you can't kill someone with your lightsaber, only by force powers(the life support, engines etc. too :( :lol: )


But this is made by MAV and for sure it will work with his :D ( brownnoser, I know xD)

Oh yes, have the Millenium Falcon 2 quadturrets firing as the primary weapon or is one primary, the other one secundary?
