As a bit of an expenditure into LEGO modding, I've been working on a mod for LSW:TCS that expands the character roster. It adds many characters that can't be freely selected and played as in the original game, as well as some that aren't even present in the original game, to the roster. This first release adds 16 characters and 7 vehicles to the roster. You can download the mod here. Note: Sadly, this mod is not compatible with existing saves made before installation of the mod. Any characters that unlock through clearing levels cannot be unlocked if those levels are already cleared, and if characters have been purchased in the shop in a save prior to installing this mod, the shop will break on that save. If you have any existing saves that you wish to keep intact but wish to try out this mod, it is advised that you back up your saves (They can be found in C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\LucasArts\LEGO Star Wars - The Complete Saga\SavedGames\.You can put %localappdata% in the address bar to instantly jump to the Local folder, then navigate from there). However, as long as you don't select those saves with the mod installed, they should remain intact. Characters Story. These are characters that can be unlocked by playing the levels they appear in.

You now play as Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader) instead of Darth Vader in the A New Hope bonus level. Player 2 now plays as Snowspeeder (Green) instead of Snowspeeder in Hoth Battle (Episode V, Chapter 1). Anakin's Pod, Republic Gunship, and their green variants now also unlock when beating the bonus Original variants of their levels. Color variants of vehicles now use the same icon as the normal vehicle. The game is limited in how many icons it can load, so this was done to make room for less redundant icons. Bug Fixes Han Solo's icon now shows white on his shirt's folds instead of a beige, skin-like color. Han Solo (frozen in carbonite) can no longer ride vehicles. Known bugs Icons for added characters frequently fail to load in the shop and the character select screen. As of now, this is nigh unfixable. The four random characters (Jedi, Mos Eisley Citizen, Cantina Alien, and Cloud City Citizen) all turn into a different variant when riding something. This is an inherent problem with these types of characters and was actually worse before I worked on them, as they had random parts instead of looking like a proper random character. You can get a Mos Eisley Citizen or Cantina Alien into a Freeplay level without unlocking them by tagging one and keeping them as your AI partner as you enter a level. I plan to do another release some time in the future (no guarantees when), so if any of you are willing to contribute, that'd be greatly appreciated. Things such as technical restrictions or techniques I may not know about, or a good way to get proper character icons (thus far, I've been doing edits, and the Lukes don't even have unique icons), are what I'm looking for. I'm thinking editing a texture and camera positioning in a level would work well for the icons, using a green screen effect with in-game lighting to get good-looking icons, but any better methods that you guys can get working would be great! A way to extend a GSC file, either through proper creation of a new file or through hex editing, would also be great, as that'd allow me to add icons to STARWARS_ICONS_ALL_PC.GSC, therefore fixing the first Known Bug I have listed. If you're newer to modding and just want to check out the mod, here's how to install it: Step 1: Follow this tutorial (starts with "Alright, I owe it to you guys to teach you how to mod these games. Here's how you do it". You'll need to scroll down a bit to see it) to get your game to a state where it can be modded. For step 4 in the tutorial, "Select one of the .dat files from either game," make sure you extract all the .dat files for TCS, not just one. Step 2: Download the mod Step 3: Extract "The Complete Roster.zip" to the copy of the game folder that has the extracted .dat files

My apologies for not responding sooner. I was on vacation last week. Anyway, it would seem that the devs have tweaked the model format once more for Jurassic World, so that's a no-go, without some sort of converter. As for Batman 3, here's a guide I've put together. There are some things I still haven't looked into, thanks to a very hectic past four weeks.
