Star Wars Battlefront II (2017)
Build a Death Star II browser sandbox from your own installed PC game.
About this version
luckeyfaraday’s research project reconstructs a limited Death Star II arena in a three.js browser runtime. It provides extraction and conversion tools, bots, rifles and Darth Vader’s kit. This is an unfinished source pipeline requiring Windows and your own installed PC game, rather than an instant hosted version or the original engine.

A Death Star II reconstruction sandbox
luckeyfaraday’s project rebuilds a limited part of Battlefront II (2017) for a three.js browser runtime. The reference target is Death Star II — Command Sector North. Blast and Free for All rounds use bots, original trooper models and E-11 or A280 rifles; Darth Vader adds saber combat and a recovered ability kit.
This is research-grade source software. It is neither a finished conversion of the full game nor the original Frostbite engine running in a web page. Missing systems include ragdoll physics, cloth simulation, parts of native animation blending and full sound mixing. Choose it as a reconstruction project with a bounded playable arena.
SWBF2 Browser Reconstruction · launch and setup documentation
Build the data on Windows first
The tools require a legitimately owned, installed final-patch PC copy of the 2017 game on Windows 10 or 11. Frosty Editor must be exactly version 1.0.5.2; the project also specifies .NET Framework 4.x, Python 3.11 and Node 20 or newer. No game content is included in the repository.
Set BF2_GAME_DIR to your installation, prepare Frosty, build the extraction adapter and run its selftest. Follow docs/PIPELINE.md in order to create the local exports and browser assets. There is no single build-everything command. After installing the web dependencies, tools/play.ps1 starts the local server and opens Chrome. Extracted content stays on your machine and must not be redistributed.

Rifles and Vader use different action keys
WASD moves, Shift sprints, Space jumps, C crouches and Alt rolls or dodges. The mouse fires and aims, R vents weapon heat, V changes camera and Escape pauses. Those defaults make the trooper’s heat management part of the firing rhythm.
With Vader selected, left mouse strikes and right mouse blocks or deflects. Q throws the saber, E triggers Focused Rage and F uses Force choke. The launcher script accepts a Vader selection, but those source instructions still depend on completing the asset pipeline first.
