SWBFgamers welcomes SWBF2 players

[Led]

Anyder has set up a SWBF2 server for us on gamespy, and has been advertising our site to SWBF2 players.

Although we have focused on SWBF, we welcome the SWBF2 players.  If any SWBF2 players want to take an active role in making our site more friendly to the SWBF2 community, please let me know your suggestions.

I saw that server, I think Anyder put up the great SWBFI conversions for SWBFII. The Marvel4 maps.

I play SWBFII a lot more now but I'm not sure how to make this site more SWBFII friendly. Perhaps a day and time when we all get on Anyders server and have a blast? That would be my first suggestion...

Agreed, let's set a date where we can all join up on the server and play with other people.

Just saying Server is set up in SWBFII 1.0
I can add more slots or whatever, but that has to be tomorrow... for some reason, a hacker has attacked ALL company's roots and deleted ALL files (including main site...) Luckily everything is being restored and fixed. Now the engineers are taking a look to each root to see if they have done something else than erase files.
I recived an email saying it will be up again tomorrow at 3:00pm Berlin time ( 11:00 am EST )
IF someone has any map suggestions, i can add them to the map list (or u can ask me for admin password, and u can do it personally -NOTE: do not abuse of this right, cause i can see all done to server in a log , but i know u guys wont do this ^^

I don't think anyone plays 1.0.  Especially all the thousands of new people that have bought the game from steam in recent times.

I agree. The SWBFGamers.com servers should be 1.1 since that is the version most people have. Besides if I played 1.0 I wouldn't be able to play mods!


Anyder, is the Marvel4 maps server only have the maps in his convo pack? Can the server be switched to 1.1? What settings do you have? (timer, reinforcements, friendly fire, heroes etc.)

Agreed, let's set a date where we can all join up on the server and play with other people.

I'm very excited for this but we must wait until we have everything sorted out before we have a SWBFII day.
Agreed?

Perhaps a SWBFII Mod Factory is in order?

[RepComm]

I've actually wanted to start modding SWBFII, next year perhaps?
Lots of new exciting thing should be in order by then

[Kit Fisto]

If I were to mod SWBFII I would make OC side mods for all 4 factions to give them the good SWBFI skins. I only really like the Rebel Smuggler/Engineer skin in SWBFII. The others are, meh. I just prefer SWBFI skins.


ATTENTION!

Anyone considering downloading the massive convo pack I advise against it. The SWBFI ports are bad (see this thread for good SWBFI conversions: http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=6620.0 ) and the SWBFI ported sides also suck. They didn't even get the grenade launcher right. Plus it's really unstable. It also takes up LOTS of mission slots (max is 500). Just download the Dark Times II mod and never look back.

There are more 1.0 ones, and trust me this is tested. In 1.0 Enten clan has Ententeich GCW with 36 slots cause its full about 75%. In 1.1 It never gets full ; same with uef servers... 1.1 is more like a funwar-hosting version, and 1.0 a public and training one , although there are. done lots of funwars also. In 1.0 there are about x3 times 1.1 servers and 70% more players. I'll try to host on either versions anyway

I trust you on this matter but the majority of people who own SWBFII play on 1.1. When I install my game it's on 1.1 automatically. That's the same for the thousands of steam users. I think that devoting a larger percent of our resources to 1.1 will have greater benefits.


Now onto the maps. I thought about this last night and I think it would be cool to have 2 servers.

Server 1: CC port only with no heroes no timer pretty much as close as we can get to that old PLA CC server everyone loved. But with SWBFII sides. I think that will draw people because it is one map that we know everyone likes to dual or have massive battles in.

Server 2: All other SWBFI ports by Marvel4. This server could be like the above server (as close as we can get to SWBFI with SWBFII sides) although I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not.

Those would be on SWBFII 1.1.


I don't think it is a good idea to rush this process. We need to have a good, definitive plan that make's spreading the word easy. That being said how about figuring out these things.

1) Type of server(s). (what maps? modes? Are we going to do what I suggested?)

2) What game version? (1.0 or 1.1)

3) Game nights? (these could be consistent for example, every other saturday night you can go onto one of the 2 proposed servers and have a good time!)



Also if we are trying to be more SWBFII friendly it would be a good idea to promote the proposed game nights.

Multiplayer SWBF1 maps on SWBF2 would be fun.  The standard SWBF2 maps get boring.  Some of the old SWBF1 maps are the best.

Yea I get kind of bored playing SWBFII maps online or offline. But only in SWBFII. If they are ported to SWBFI I usually have a lot of fun.

Geonosis and Tantive IV are exempt from that though.

server is up again...
