Battlefront 3 Legacy - Updated HUD, Animations and More

/ discord
Hello there,
For the past weeks we have been updating the HUD, basic units, heroes and overall quality of this map.
The HUD is nearly complete as it is currently lacking elements regarding the campaign and capture the flag. It is our intention to be as close to the original source as possible. The health icon, target bar, reinforcements, the fonts and many more elements have been reworked to match the look of Battlefront 3's latest concepts.
Soldier animations have now been extracted/recreated from Battlefront 3. Thanks to Ryan Hank for being part of this. Now one of the last few remaining pandemic assets has vanished, reaching a new level of accuracy.
The Republic (and CIS) units (including vehicles, heroes/villains) are still in development and shall be finished until the next release.
Lightsaber wielding heroes (and villians) will now have 3 basic attacks + 1 special attack. Saber units will be classified into fighters, duelists, assassins and juggernauts, all having different gameplay, yet more balanced than in previous releases. Single attacks will also deal full damage to non-heavy units and force push on droids has finally been fixed since 2005 (by not making them explode into pieces, resulting in 0.1% less framedrops).
IMPORTANT:
Sleepkiller's Shaderpatch is not just recommened but a mandatory addition to have not just better in-game rendering of existing shaders (Including better lighting as seen here) but also allows for the change of team-colors.
[GT]Anakin's Remaster is required to disable the original Swbf2 HUD (At least for the upcoming release), otherwise you will likely experience the infamous "double-hud-bug".
Future goals until the next release:
- Finishing ALL Clone Wars related content (for good)
- Finishing ALL Core/Common related content (scripts, hud etc., also for good)
- Finishing Coruscant, Bespin, Cato N., Dantooine and Endor (at least)
- Getting massive work done for the GCW era
The final version will also contain the finished GCW era, all Battlefront 3 maps and a full, replicated campaign (with cutscenes) and galactic conquest.

Sticking with a project of this sort for so long must be difficult, both from a technical standpoint and an emotional one. So far, the results are absolutely magnificent. Anyone who has ever wished to play the cancelled SWBF3 owes you and everyone who has worked on this mod their most sincere gratitude.

[@El_Fabricio]

I appreciate your kind words :D Working on this project resolves a lot around suffering. The emotional damage is inflicted and real. The result is worth the psychological scar it has left... Thank you for being a part of our community :D

it's crazy how the people behind battlefront have never pulled off a coruscant map. we see its vastness in the movies but never really get to explore it. this is awesome

The people behind the Star Wars mod Galactic Contention for the MilSim game Squad did an excellent good job depicting Coruscant and its scale. Look up the short clip “Galactic Contention deploying over Coruscant”.

This is beautiful. It's like an actual battlefield out there rather than little solo conflicts that the modern battlefront games have.

[@doorbell8132]

...it didn't look like BF3 before this...now it does...well done man seriously.

[@ImOnGearSoWhat]

I have a high end pc and yet I only play old modded games like this, because they give me more enjoyment than the current games out rn. Thanks for your hard work

[@El_Fabricio]

You're welcome!

[@killatortilla8276]

This is the way. I have a 4090 and I don’t play anything recent. Dark souls remastered, ps2 and Xbox emulation has been on the menu lately. Hell I was playing Spartan total warrior not long ago. I love pc for allowing us to play our older games better than ever before in 4K, with a modern wireless controller! Dead rising play through was a blast. New games mostly suck.

[@FabioJackson]

when this game stars getting out of hand companies are gonna try to shut it down. this is huge

[@El_Fabricio]

They may try. I don't care what they want. I can move to Russia if I have to. This mod has to be finished and released. Because that is what I want.

[@FabioJackson]

@@El_Fabricio love the passion man you make me and others very happy reliving all these great memories

[@KoalaTContent]

The fact that I couldn't quite tell if this was BFII or new footage of the BFIII dev build at first genuinely caught me off guard

[@xm214-aminigun9]

Thanks for being such good devs. I personally would have let it go in a year but you guys are the true pillars of star wars community. I don't know what we would do without you guys.

[@G31M1]

This gives me such strong feelings of nostalgia, security and curiosity. Back in the days there was barely anything to worry about. Good times! It's such a shame that this title never got released. I had the promotional poster for the Battlefront III with the Droids attacking Coruscant hanging in my room for years.

[@LordVader1094]

It would've been released, if not for a guy from EA taking over at LucasArts and screwing over Free Radical.

[@Chunklechuck]

I'd love for this to actually gain some audience once it's ready. Too bad you probably cant market this in any sort of official capacity

[@reddragon3263]

I've seen some big KZbinrs cover this mod quite a bit. I won't be surprised if that happens again.

[@El_Fabricio]

Once we get back to regular updates on KZbin, Moddb and Discord (Later on more pages even including Russian and Spanish modding sites), there will likely be more people covering this mod with a bigger audience. Also the demand for Battlefront 3 has never been greater than now. This time we are more than willing to deliver during this period.

[@schwardo]

god those animations are so accurate to the old footage, this is amazing work! The roll animation is the icing on the cake.

[@tj8097]

I cannot even begin to express the appreciation I feel for you guys right now. This is BF3 brought to life in all its glory, not just a mod. MOST IMPRESSIVE

[@PorgChamp]

Wow it is amazing the difference that makes. Before this was "just" the best Battlefront 2 mod ever, but now it is truly Battlefront 3

[@ZeoWorks]

Looks amazing! Does anyone else prefer the good old BF2 third person camera?

[@reddragon3263]

Well done man! You get me so excited everytime you upload an update. This mod is the greatest thing to ever happen not just to this game, but to us Battlefront fans, you really are our only hope and are doing a great service to us and we appreciate you so much for your work and dedication, I love the HUD Update, especially the new score bar at the top which looks so much better, I know you still have things to finish up, but I'll say that in terms of the HUD, If it's possible to implement I would like to see the points be displayed in the center of the screen right next to the reticle, instead of the far left side of the screen so they're more noticeable to the player, like in modern multiplayer games like Call of Duty, as well as Miniature health bars on top of all of the NPC's, If you can do that, The HUD will be 100 percent authentic to the actual game.

[@El_Fabricio]

Sadly the target health bar is only available for fixed position. If it was ever possible to change that, we would do it. Gaining points in this mode (spaceships in space will come next time) is fairly easy. Having a minimum of +100 points and kills is usual. Having these numbers be next to the reticule would take more space (And also reduces the cleaniness of just having this white circle at the center of the screen). Also the background textures fit better to the left than in the center. I appreciate your kind feedback and if there's anything for us to improve just let us know.

[@reddragon3263]

@@El_Fabricio I just noticed you added icons on top of all the enemies, kind of like in the R1 Clone Wars mod. I think that's the closest thing to the mini health bars on top of all the NPCs.

nice thing to see got here from the youtube front page an im happy to know this exists i and my frieds alwasy plat atleast 2-3 h of the good SWBF2 hope its possible wit this mod when its finished

[@blakcatmusic]

First video I've ever seen of this game this looks incredible, if only DICE / EA realized that this is all we wanted out of a new battlefront game

[@Prodin100]

Very, very impressive - even if this is still running in the old Battlefront engine, I think it's made as big of a leap forward as BF2 did to BF1. So in that sense it definitely looks like a whole new game. Very happy for you guys - know work on this has been progressing over a number of years, and I've been following you guys for a while. This is no small accomplishment

[@sephirothchild]

I've noticed there's some interesting mods for Battlefront 2 in recent years. Sounds like it was a long journey to get to this point so, congratulations.

[@JJohnston4Life]

This is how the next BF3 should be. I love the Coruscant and the idea of keeping the vocals from the original is awesome!

[@40fixxer22]

Second because its cool. Outstanding work!!! Its looks like a completely new game with those new animations.

[@AlexandruSorez]

Your dedication to this project is nothing short of amazing man

[@John_II]

Never knew this even existed. Holy crap it looks amazing!

[@fearlesswee5036]

I actually love how this looks visually. It really nails that "Mid-generation Xbox 360/PS3" game look to a T and it really feels as if BF3 but it never got scrapped, like you just pulled this from an alternate timeline or something. Of course, that'd massively undermine the sheer amount of blood, sweat, tears, and love that was actually poured into this project. Godspeed gentlemen, and may the force be with you.

[@Eldrolf33]

This is the first I've seen of this project, and it looks really impressive! I hadn't noticed until now just how far up the reticle is on the screen in Classic Battlefront. It seems odd now that I'm used to modern shooters that have the reticle just below the middle of the screen.

Holy shit, I just read the description. You guys are actually planning to fully create the Campaign at some point in the future? That is incredible!

If only the other cancelled LucasArts games were able to get this treatment. We'll never get JK 3, KOTOR 3, 1313, or Imperial Commando, but we won't rest until the true Battlefront 3 is finished. All the lost years we didn't get with this game will finally happen thanks to fans like you.

[@ln5321]

The progress on this has been amazing to watch. Such good work!

[@stevewmartist6182]

Honestly, the main issue I had with this mod was the lack of new animations, as it felt just like a fancy reskin of Battlefront 2. However this is a huge step in the right direction. I can’t wait to see what else you guys accomplish, I hope some of the updated core gameplay fundamentals that were gonna be implemented in BF3 make it in such as strafing, the Hero Showboating, the Formation Flying, and more.

thank you for the hard work!!! it's crazy u guys still working on these, as a support im going to subscribe

[@rhysonxbox]

This is absolutely beautiful. Works like a new game but looks like the originals. This is the battlefront game that we should have had a long time ago. Are you guys going to do an Order 66 mode? Like randomly if you are a jedi the clones will turn on you or like a firefight mide? I think that would be a lit of fun. Keep up the great work!

Seeing this mod back in action made me want to rejoin the discord after leaving it back in June 2022.

[@GamingSpider115]

Crazy to see how different the graphics are for its time being made

[@gnomeking4454]

The most impressive thing that you've done for me is the blasters firing. They give such an atmosphere like the Geonosis sandstorm fight where you can see only blaster bolts, which none of the games so far delivered on such level. To see so many people shooting and to feel this mayhem in the middle (the no mans land), that's crazy good feeling.

You guys added some really clean animations! Well done, its really cool to see BF2 transform into the cancelled BF3. I`d definitely say swap out those crouched and Sprinting animations and this game will be nearly unrecognizable!

this looks wonderful...

[@franklinnash]

I noticed this weird effect from footage of the new classic collection and it also seems to be here too. When Mace Windu (or any other force user too, I guess) does a force jump he leaves a crater when he lands. The force jump isn't a superhero jump, Jedi aren't 'impervious to damage' superheroes. The force jump includes a force float that allows the jedi to land without injury.

[@El_Fabricio]

The crater Mace leaves is intentional.

[@SexyFace]

The crater you're referring to here looks like an intentional ability. It doesn't occur when he jumps, but when he lands. He does a sort of "ground pound" smashing the terrain and damaging any droid unlucky enough to be nearby. I believe he also did that in the 2003 clone wars cartoon
