We've added a version of the tool that should work on Windows XP.

The best thing would be for GameRanger to die completely. It's a laggy buggy mess. SWBFspy or the previous GameShare should be the only multiplayer option in my point of view.

a big public game is 14-16 players these days, with recent tournaments of 24 players or more.

But every player counts, so join us some time 

Saturdays are good from 2-5 PM eastern US time, evenings about 6-9 PM eastern time during the week.

I am not good with time zones, can you tell me what would those times equal in San Diego? I've barely played SWBF1 online and would like to try it. I've attempted to join in the past but just found servers with bots.... yawn.

That's my worry too. Could they target the modding communities of the original games? It's possible, especially if they realise what great work has been done with them.

Let them do that, I'll make a mod that says EA sucks.

It would be nice of the FrontWire people just kept making it behind the scenes without anyone knowing then just upload it one day randomly...

Not sure if anything is required to make it function correctly. I will check and get back to you here.
Edit: Jake says .net framework 4.5

Oldsnake, that's just the sad reality then. You'll need Windows 7.

Greetings everyone. If you play SWBF2 in multiplayer in the last year you've probably seen people using a cheat that allows them to switch characters at any time they desire. This cheat is more common in hero assault but is possible in the whole game. This cheat has become rampant in some situations, hero assault mostly, and has on occasion ruined good times. An official patch has been made that prevents this cheat 100% and you can get that patch here. Credits to the patch goes to {VA}Jake and the clan VA in general for creating tons of other awesome SWBF2 server patches in the past.

This tool is intended only for admins who run a PC dedicated v1.1 server. This tool is not made for the client side of the game, server only. When the tool is applied to the server, all players in the server are then prevented from using the cheat.

First you need to start the server and make sure that it is running as normal. Then run the patch tool and activate it. From that point on the server should be protected. If you're hosting a server and playing the game from the same computer you will need to start the server first, start the patch tool and then start your game.

It is recommended that everyone shares this with all of their friends so that anyone who has ran a server or may intend to is prepared with the tool.

You can download the tool below by clicking the icon that looks like a paper clip.

In the SWBF map lua files you'll see the lines that look like AddUnitClass(IMP, "imp_dark_trooper",3)
The 3 is what tells the game how many bots to spawn as this class. I am guessing 0 makes AI use none. Cannot confirm as I never bothered with it.

Miniinthebox is currently having a sale on official Sony brand PSP batteries and I need some bad, but I'd never heard of this website. I did research and I found more negative things than positive things. I want to ask has anyone here used this site, how was your experience?

This is the current item I am looking at. I am greatly considering this because official Sony batteries are becoming rare, and the cheap aftermarket batteries are really terrible, but all the negative feedback is scary so I am unsure.

I'd like to make a few smallish mods for SWBF1 for personal use and am way behind on the modding scene for the game. I'd just like a general push on updated tools/tutorials.

Thanks. 

Edit: I remember in the past trying to remunge the stock sides and using them crashed on maps like Hoth. I never figured this out and it would be sweet if possible to fix.

Well, when this comes up to HxD and when I enter the values that he entered, it says "Can't find."

In HxD the offset find tool is ctrl+g.

I don't know why, but my AV detected the .exe file as a trojan virus for some reason.

1: I trust the file, but when I try to use Gameranger to connect to a BF2 server, this one doesn't work. But when I use the original, it does work.

That's why we listed the things to edit manually. You can get a free hex editor app like HxD and do the mods yourself.

Can I bump this? I am serious about this. Thanks!

A friend and I were trying to do something with cheat engine recently and ended up discovering something else unrelated to what we were trying to do...

SWBF2 PC SERVER 1.1
File: BattlefrontII.exe
Offset: 251135
Change: 80 40 to 00 00
Result: Skip the killcam to directly to spawn selection screen.

SWBF2 PC CLIENT 1.1
File: BattlefrontII.exe (4,500kb)
Offset: 176092
Change: 80 40 to 00 00
Result: Skip the killcam to directly to spawn selection screen. Works in single player mode only, not online.

SWBF2 PS2 SERVER
File: BattlefrontII.exe
Offset: 2455E6
Change: 80 40 to 00 00
Result: Skip the killcam to directly to spawn selection screen.

This kid is really getting my bloody nerves. If someone can track his IP, give it to me and I will use my paid vps to DOS him into oblivion

Best idea: The ones who are good at reverse engineering and stuff should look into a patch for the dedicated server that disables CP switching. It won't be too hard to distribute a patch, not as hard as trying to stop this cheat spamming mongoloid.
