Star Ocean 2/Ex Campaign!!!!

For anybody who knows, Star Ocean 2 was a Playstation game released in 1998, comparable to FInal Fantasy VII. Star Ocean Ex was an anime based off the game, released in Japan in 2001. It never made it's way to the US....

I kind of want to make a Star Ocean-based campaign; I already have some content such as the characters (using game models that look most similar, nothing new except for the flat portraits), and some of the towns (Milinconica, Arlia, Cross - easy to make, really). No triggers done yet, but that shouldn't be a problem for me.I had some in the past for a previous Star Ocan campaign I was making for WarIII, but that computer got fried; this one is now for Frozen Throne.

I just want to know some basic stuff about Campaign editing, such as how to apply a unifrom, custom unit set to individual maps, and link them together in a campaign so a hero who levels up on one mission will have whatever level he came to be on that mission in the next mission I choose in the triggering of that level.

As of now, I made a base 'Palette Map' which had many of the new units, and 'Saved As' to make diffrerent towns/dungeons from that base map. But I might want to change the units in the future (like for making new Hero Abilities), and I need to know how I can go about using the aforementioned custom unit set and putting it in my maps without changine each unit in each seperate maps (which wouldn't link them together eithor).

Also, I wanted to know how many of you like the game/anime, as I will be using elements from both to make the campaign (music, story, etc.). So hopefully this will be well likedd if enough people know about the original game. I'll reveal more planned details if I get replies. Thanks.

Here's the first screenshot. That's right, it's Arlia village. I have about a dozen screens spanning 3 towns... and at this point, I'm finishing some of the dungeons as well. Enjoy!

This one is another popular view of Arlia. Maybe now I'll get some replies since I actually have content to show... hopefully. :D Still working on this no matter what, though.

Another popular area from the game, the Capital City of Cross! Notice the similar look of the in-game models to Star Ocean 2's supposed characters....

All good and it was a pretty cool game :D

Other than that, you are going to skin them, right???

I don't know how to make models or skin edit... or make new completely new spells ('Air Slash' is just shockwave, for example). I'm still trying to figure out how to link the levels together in a campaign, in fact. >< Thanks for caring, though! :)
