Star Wars Battlefront series mod tools

BFBuilder is a map editor released by Pandemic Studios for Star Wars: Battlefront and Star Wars: Battlefront II. Included with the map editor are various assets, including sides and shipped maps, as well as the source files for the downloadable "Tatooine:Jabba's Palace".

Sound effects and music used to make the two Star Wars: Battlefront games were not included because of copyright issues, although it is possible to import original music and sound effects into the game.

Map editing is done through an application called Zero Editor, which is used to mold the landscapes, place objects, command posts and vehicle spawn points. Additional scripting is done through LUA files for maps, and ODF (Object Definition Files) files for objects. Levels are finalized by a process called mungeing (the meaning is different to Munge), which compiles assets and maps into different LVL files, before compiling those LVL files into finalized LVLs for use with the game itself.

Although the two engines are subtly different, assets can be imported from the first into the second, and vice versa.
