(mp safe) This mod revamps the graphics of all original trilogy maps (+Jakku) to make them look and feel like the good old maps from Star Wars Battlefront 2015. The mod is divided into 15 different packages, so you can decide which overhaul you want to install.
You need this version of FrostyModManager to run the mod.

Changelogs
Version 2.0
All maps are now equipped with their original color grading from Star Wars Battlefront 2015. This is a very big step forward for the mod, because the differences are clearly visible. Every single map now feels even more like its original 2015 version. Among other things, I have developed a technique that makes it possible to transfer the exact exposure and lighting values from the old game to the new one. The changes are listed in detail below.

Release
Battlefront 2015 Map Overhauls
Let me take you on a nostalgia trip to the year 2015, the year Star Wars Battlefront was released. Apart from its problems, the game has impressed us all with its incredible graphics. To this day, it remains one of the most beautiful games of all time. It had a very special atmosphere that made you feel like you were actually part of the Star Wars universe. Its successor, Star Wars Battlefront 2, took a different path in terms of visual implementation. But if you want Star Wars Battlefront 2 to have the same look as its predecessor, you can make it happen with this mod!
An elaborate workflow was necessary to transfer the graphics settings of the old maps to the new ones. Every parameter of the Visual Environment has been carefully matched with the original. The look of these maps is not based on personal judgement, it is based on the actual values from the old game.
Listed below are all maps and their variants that have been changed, with details of which new look they have been given:
Endor (Sunny) New Look: Forest Moon of Endorfrom Star Wars Battlefront 2015 (Foggy) New Look: Imperial Station from Star Wars Battlefront 2015
Death Star II New look: Death Star from Star Wars Battlefront 2015
Hoth (Sunny) New look: Outpost Beta from Star Wars Battlefront 2015 (Sunset) New look: Hero Battles version of Hoth from Star Wars Battlefront 2015
Tatooine (Sunny) New look: Jundland Wastes from Star Wars Battlefront 2015 (Sunny v2) New Look: Scarif Beach from Star Wars Battlefront 2015 (Sunset) New look: Sandstorm version of Dune Sea Exchange from Star Wars Battlefront 2015 (Night) New look: Dawn version of Jawa Refuge from Star Wars Battlefront 2015
Scarif (Sunny) New look: Scarif Jungle from Star Wars Battlefront 2015 (Sunny) New look v2: Scarif Beach from Star Wars Battlefront 2015 (Sunset) New look: Sunset version of Landing Pad 13 from Star Wars Battlefront 2015
Yavin 4 This map did not exist in the old game, but over time I have learned what settings I need to change to make a map look like it is from Star Wars Battlefront 2015. I was able to reconstruct what this map would have looked like in the old game. (Sunny) New look: Inspired by the sunny version of Forest Moon of Endor from Star Wars Battlefront 2015 (Sunset) New look: Inspired by the overcast version of Suez from Battlefield 1
Jakku (Sunny) New look: Sunny version of Graveyard of Giants from Star Wars Battlefront 2015
It took me a lot of time and effort to realize this project. I would love it if you would leave me a positive review and share this mod with your friends. I would also like to thank all the nice people of the Modding Discord, who helped me every day! This project is only the first of a series. Stay up-to-date and look forward to what’s to come! Until then...
