This game is moddable!
Hi! I'm here to tell you I've figured out that this game is moddable! I'm sure some of you have datamined to find that all the audio is in wav format, all the textures are in TGA/PNG format, and there are level FBXs too.

I began investigating the moddability of the game today, and came across several most interesting finds:

-You can replace the music and sound effects as these are just plain .wav files. You can even change the sample rate for the music. See here for my first tests into that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzuE7wC0Hy8

After this, I found out you can easily change the textures as well. There's a lot, and it seems Aspyr created duplicates of some for upscaling purposes, but I've gotten a couple of 'fixed' textures ingame already.

The final thing I figured out was that those FBX files in the level folder are actually what's loaded in when you are in a level. I tested this in Survival Challenge (mini4) by erasing the windows of the back wall... and it worked! I went one further and replaced the pillars in the TFed level... and it worked too! Collision's off, but this was done as a proof of concept.

So, with this information now at your fingertips, mod away! I myself will be looking to just do a few touch-ups where appropriate, update the sounds etc.

I cannot wait for someone to use SOTE or DF2:JK character models and replace all the droids with stormtroopers xD
hello Dude, great job :) its posible in that mode to also Fix characters combo bugs ?? and posibly maybe fix Level Ubdates? Or is there a posiblity to put in new animations and characters ?Yoda would be Owesome
just in case if someone will have time i will give here a list of things that should be fixed.
I tried this report all the isues from a very quick look:

1. starting with main Menu sound is all in left channel. I thought my headset is glitched.and continue trought out the game there are sometimes lags in the sounds and voices.

2. Mace Windu's AoE force power (one he starts with) has his lightsaber spinning to his side instead of all around him like on PS1. also Mace lvl 5 saber trow is also broken by him trying to kill his own food instead of droids, its literaly spining on him.

3. Adi Gallia's ranged force power (unlocked after Swamps of Naboo) simply doesn't damage enemies, it's useless. And the next level, Streets of Theed. is designed with ranged force powers in mind.

4, , some of Plo-kon combos doest have range neer as much as they should for exaple (square,square,triangle its literala stop on place in midle of spining foward)also his burn Ability doent burn enemies just stun them

5. Darth Maul- miss in his arsenal that spining ,,jump attack´´ with computer likes to use on you so much and it also feels like computer have some more combos that you can do in the game.And he also does kick alone. why they not addit that idk.

6.Ki-Adi-Mund - Ult´s powers its just blend of other character it would be nice the have something new.

7. this is an Sugestion but it would be nice for the Old fans. Add some more Lvl. or make the game more Dificult bcs. the hardCore Players of this game can beat the game so easy.

7. No environments are destructible, starting from computers in first stage, and later, buildings on Theed Streets or windows in Theed Palace, is this how it was on Dreamcast? You can damage that stuff on PS1, and there are power-ups behind destructible windows. Which are transparent on PlayStation. In this version, the glass is solid white, it looks like it's missing a texture.

8. After touching Queen Amidala with Adi Gallia's item move (a force shield), she died, which is a design issue in original game, but after that, instead of removing a life and bringing me to the last checkpoint, it restarted the entire level.

9. Speaking of levels, I had level select with all of them from the start. And all characters like Padme, Panaka, Maul & battle droid unlocked from the get go. Its not fun.

Shame this nostalgic game from my childhood gets a broken,

10 most important -leveling of ALL other characters. bcs by givinng character at least every lvl some buff, live , power , bonus , combos. - you just make the game better and more fun- its so much better play it with Darth Maul when you can get every lvl some more combos, life, power, bonuses, then have every combo and power from the start. and gain nothing. (life ,power , bonus)
11.this is An Sugestion to make much more money: Just put Yoda and maybe Kitt Fisto- into the game it would not interupt lore. And give them some unique moves and powers and this game have potentional to do so much more money just bcs of Yoda Alone. Bcs there are Almost NO games where you can Play as Yoda. the good ones maybe just Battle front 2. Otheres are just some lego Bs.
thak you for reading and have a have a nice day :)

Shame this nostalgic game from my childhood gets so broken

Just to make this clear, you CAN:

-replace audio already in the files
-edit visual level geometry
-Edit textures

You CANNOT:

-Add new characters
-Add new animations
-Change level layouts
-Add new levels
-Change anything hardcoded, including the game logic

So that gargantuan list of requests is NOT going to happen. Sorry.

Survival Challenge now takes place in the Jedi Temple instead of some random Naboo courtyard

Working on a few updates to the level models. So far, I've got Trade Federation Battleship, Theed Palace and Final Battle on my list to do.
