I come here to play a 16 year old game, preferably Cloudcity, for the 1000th time. You can't scare me with change like this! 

Seriously though, thanks for keeping everything working, as soon as I work out how to get a white background I'll be happy, and everything seems to work for me.

Merry Christmas

Welcome. Always good to see a new player.

Looks good. I think Pandemic missed an opportunity by not having an expanded indoor map at echo base. It just needs a secret room with a wampa. 😉

Yeah, I think it's a problem with my account. Led changed a few of my permissions when we were transferring files so I expect it's something not ticked. I can see other downloads fine.

I think it's a glitch with the link. It says I don't have permission as well.

Do you know the map name? I've got a couple of hundred on my pc but they're all names like ENDD.

Welcome to the site, there's plenty of great mods here. Serejas are good ones to start with although you might have to turn down the graphics on older computers.

I saved up for a PS2 just to play it on, I've bought it another 3 times since but it's still been a bargain. I doubt 12 year old me could have predicted I would be still be playing it now, let alone with other players.

Interestingly I think the graphics and gameplay have aged very well compared to other games released around then.

Thanks. More questions for you.

What do you mean by "master server list freezes"? Just enter to multiplayer->Gog multiplayer->Join and game freezes? Or game list is not updating anymore?

About Team chat crashes. What parameters did you use for dedicated server? Or you connecting to any dedicated server, and if you as a client are trying to type somewhat in team chat, it crashes the server?

It's better than it used to be but if you stay on the server list too long or refresh it can freeze the whole game.

With dedicated servers, if anyone uses team chat it crashes the server.

The master server list still freezes but not often now. The single biggest issue for me is that you can't use dedicated servers because teamchat crashes them.

This is the mod tools I think. http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=436

Gametoast blocks some countries unfortunately so you might need a VPN to access it.

I played it and really liked it. It was like having the single player star wars games of the mid 2000s back and the original (to me) gameplay was a nice change from what I've played recently.

I never got a chance to play SWBF1 multiplayer until the steam update released, what were the servers like? Did they get more players? Were there more servers? I'd love to here what you veterans have to say. 

When I started in 2011 there were probably 50 servers and 120-150 players at peak UK time and that was down to 80 in 2014. There would usually be 20-30 in  PLA cloudcity server and similar in one of the European all map servers like ententeich, cupbears server or pic arena with the rest spread out.

The servers were all stable then as well, more than most modern games, so you could play for an evening without worrying. With hindsight my 30+ hours a week for a while was probably a bit much but I regret nothing.

Question mark was one of the good snipers I remember but there was a few really good players including sovereign.

In cloud city at least I could usually top the leaderboard but every time I thought I was good a proper player would come along and beat me with a tenth of the deaths.

(PLA) devil is another one I remember, he would always be a pilot and run round healing both sides.

And a random one is the German (?) godz unit stevt who no matter how many warnings and bans he got only knew one phrase: 'we are  like  ' which for some reason made me laugh.

Drugrep had a unique way of talking to.

Edit: From a similar topic before:
[spoiler]Best memories:
My first time online having a great time and trying to talk to people then realising it was actually an empty server and they were ai...

My actual first week online going between PLA cloudity, cpt cupbear, ooc arena and ententeich servers and realising how different it was to single player.

Starting to think I was good then seeing players like question mark and quiz with 100-0-10 scores.

Finally getting more than 100 kills on a full cloudcity server.

Endless new clans that lasted a week trying to recruit me.

The 1 PLA clan night I made it to.

Learning all the secret grenade jumps with Wabbit and Stewie.

Accidentally shooting a teammate off the balcony with a rocket from the other side of cloudcity then staying silent as he just typed 'how in the world?' and flew off the map. Sorry Nemisis.

Winning a game with 0-1 in the enemies favour by capturing command posts.

Mod map nights and the close matches in the ICW tournament.

Welcome to the site. I'll see you on cloudcity server. 😉
