Academy\GameData\base folder. It's a snap!
To uninstall, simply move or delete the MovieStarSiege.pk3 file from your

easier!
--------------------------------------------------------
== So what does this do? ==
Excellent question. You're very smart for asking.
Well, probably the first thing that you'll notice is that this mod also works
as a skinpack. This file gives you two
Han Solos (one in his "A New Hope" vest, the other in his "Empire Strikes Back"
jacket), Luke Skywalker in his gray ESB
flight suit, Darth Vader, an AT-AT pilot, and a Biker Scout, all of which are
selectable in all Multiplayer game modes.
But the REAL thing that this mod does, the purpose for which it was designed,
is this: it replaces certain classes in
Siege mode with the characters you've come to know and love from the Star Wars
films. Tired of playing as some random
Rebel soldier or a nameless Dark Jedi Reborn? Wondering where exactly Han is
during this supposed "Battle of Hoth"
you're playing? Well, with this patch, I'll tell you where he is: he's on the
front line!
And probably the coolest feature of this mod: not everyone playing Siege with
you needs this patch for it to work on your
computer! Sure, to them you'll still look like a boring ol' Rebel soldier...
but on your screen, you're Han Solo!
--------------------------------------------------------
== What to expect in Version 2, should it ever happen ==
There's still a pretty big list of stuff I'd like to do for the next version of
this, if possible:
I originally wanted Luke on Hoth to be in his orange Rebel flightsuit without a
helmet , but I could only find fairly
cheesy-looking painted-on reskins of it. I've heard rumors that HapSlash is
working on a model for a Flightsuit Luke,
but it wasn't out when I was putting this mod together.
There HAS to be a way to change what lightsabers the different characters hold,
right? I mean, sure, it doesn't make
sense for Luke to be using a double-bladed saber at all, but I had to keep it
like that so that the mod still works
when you're playing with people who don't have Movie Star Siege. But I would
want to at least change WHICH saber-staff
he uses, and find one that at least looks a bit closer to the saber he had in
Empire. If only I could figure out how...
but the logical solution doesn't seem to work.
I want to figure out a way to change out Lando and Kyle on Hoth (seeing as how
they probably weren't there for the
battle) WHILE KEEPING THEM on the Desert. The problem is that while the Assault
and Jedi classes on Hoth are DIFFERENT
Assault and Jedi classes than the ones on the Desert, the Scout and Demolitions
classes are the same on both maps.
The Luke and Han models were designed for Jedi Outcast, so while they work for
the Siege mode on Academy, they all
end up acting kinda wonky when you use them in a FFA with dual sabers. Problem
is, though, that the only way to fix
this is to change the bone structure in the model, which I don't have a clue
how to do. If someone with the know-how
would take the initiative to convert these skins for Jedi Academy, that would
be awesome.
I would maybe want to replace Jan Ors with Leia as the Rebel Tech, probably
both on Hoth and the Desert, but I couldn't
find a Leia model besides the one in her Boushh disguise. If anyone has seen a
good Leia (maybe in her Hoth gear),
drop me a line.
And MAYBE I would want to tinker with the classes on the Star Destroyer bonus
map... but they really don't make any
difference, since you just jump into a ship and never see your player model
again.
--------------------------------------------------------
== Distribution Notes ==
This mod was created to be enjoyed by everyone, so feel free to distribute this
pk3 as much as you'd like without my
permission. Give it to all your friends. Post it on other websites (so long as
all six readme files are still in the zip,
that is!). Spread the wealth.
If you want to use this mod as a component for something else you're cooking
up, though, I'd appreciate it if you'd
drop me a line at ramutboxo@hotmail.com and explain what you're up to. And if
you want to use one of the skins for
something, contact the respective author.
--------------------------------------------------------
== Big Ups and Shout-Outs ==
I said it before, and I'll say it here again: thanks a million to the guys who
made these skins and gave me their
permission to use them in this mod. Seriously. You dudes rock. Now that I think
about it, you put WAY more effort
into this than I did.
Just like everybody else, I'd like to thank Raven Software for creating the
awesome game that they did. (Now make some
new Siege maps already!)
And thanks to George Lucas for creating three awesome movies and two mediocre
ones (I'll leave which are which up to
the reader), which established the Star Wars universe.
