Finally got around to finishing this. I'm posting it here because I remember there was some interest in it.

Long story short, it replaces weapon and unit models with better looking or more accurate ones, and it's all entirely online compatible. I play on JBA with this mod installed just fine.

Download links:
Mod DB It helps me more if you download it from here, but if you have to download from somewhere else, here's a mirror.
Mediafire

Here are some notable screenshots.

1) Click here.

2) Click on "Download Now"

3) Download it to whereever, a Download folder or the Desktop is prefered.

4) Double click the .exe file. It'll ask you to extract the files, do so.

5) Follow the instructions provided in the Evolved_Installation.txt file.

Spoiler: show
1) Go to C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\data\_lvl_pc\side and make backups of:
-ALL.lvl
-ALLshell.lvl
-CIS.lvl
-CISSHell.lvl
-REP.lvl
-REPShell.lvl
-IMP.lvl
-IMPshell.lvl


2) Extract the files to your desktop.

3) Copy the contents of the Side folder to C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\data\_lvl_pc\side.

4) Play the game and enjoy.


Let me know if there are any issues and I'll gladly help.

What if I'm running BF2 with Steam? I don't want to do anything yet because I've messed up my old cd copy with a different mod. :geek:

The installation directory is different, but I always forget when it is.

Instead of

C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\data\_lvl_pc\side

it would be something like

C:\Program Files\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\data\_lvl_pc\side

Just a wild guess, I don't own the steam version.

Ok so I think I downloaded it correctly, and replaced all the old files after making backups, but when I tested it nothing changed. And also my ping went up through the roof. But you know what? To hell with steam. Used it for a couple years but all those updates, news, game ads, and repeated forced email verifications make me want to punch a tree. Gonna blow 10 bucks on a good'ole fashioned CD copy from Walmart or something, Steam has been annoying me for far to long. :evil:

And thanks for the instructions, once I get my CD I'll be rockin that graphics mod. :afro:
