Aye up all.  In a fit of nostalgia I gave SWBF1 a run using SWBFspy.exe.  I get an error message "the program can't start because binkw32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem". 

I'm using windows 7. My game is loaded outside of program files (c:Starwars\gameData) and the dynamic link library file is present in the Game data folder.  The only way I can get the exe to work is by re-extracting it from the zip and putting a new copy in the gamedata folder every time I want to play. Does anyone know how to get rid of this annoying problem? 

Hi,

I was playing around with some mods by Deagle (21st Century) including a zombie Jabba map and a sides mod that spits blood out everywhere when you get shot, and that got me thinking.... what would be the best examples of these type of mods that anyone has seen ?  Halloweens coming around in about 6 weeks so I thought maybe that PLA might host some maps off one of its servers - the best ones. There must be a fair few out there, the question is which ones are at the head of their class?  I'd like your opinion (or anyone elses on SWBFGAMERS) I imagine this may cause some debate :p

Regards

This post (Sticky'ed) http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=1375.0 gives a basic over view of the commands that can be found in your battlefront Server.ini file.

I was wondering if anyone had a complete list of all the commands.

Particularly interested in whether there is a command for the ini file that lets you boot your server with more than 200 ticket counts.

Also interested in whether there is a command to set a password for your server, again in the ini file.

I'm currently setting this manually through the dedi software interface everytime. Pre-setting in the ini file would be much more convenient.

So, as noted, anyone got a complete, comprehensive list? This would be a wonderful resource. Hoping if you do have a full list, you might be able to share.

Thanks in advance

Hi

Here are some thoughts on making a new pc.... the main thread with the parts list didn't really help me but I hope this extra bit of text may help anyone out there.

Before making a new PC (because it's to slow, or doesn't work well etc)

* Have you checked for viruses and malware.

* Clean out your registry and even try a re-install of everything including the OS.

* Is Ping your problem - if your playing on a server in another continent, upgrading your PC might not help you that much. Your little packets of data have still gotta travel the distance down the phone line. Check that your getting good speeds from your ISP.

* Is it the boot time? Don't upgrade from windows XP on an old machine to Vista or 7. Just because it's the newest release from Bill, doesnt mean it's necessarily for you. Odds are your old PC will struggle with the extra code and your performance will crash.

*If anything, downgrade your software. I have a friend that formats his hard drive as soon as he gets a new PC, and installs windows 95, rather than keep his windows 7. Why? His PC boots in under 5 seconds flat with WIN95. When asked about virus's, his response is "do they make em for windows 95 any more?" Um......maybe, maybe not - Whatever the case this is definitely not recommended if you keep personal data on your PC, but if you use it strictly for surfing the net, put in place some normal anti-virus and firewall protection and are happy to disk kill and re-install if you get an infection......

Next post will be on renovate or detonate -

Hi all

I currently have a Asia - Pacific edition of SWBF. Can anyone tell me how this is different to the North American edition. Also, why does the 1.3 patch apparently only work for the North American edition and what would happen if I bought a copy of the North American edition and tried to run it in Oz. What does the 1.3 patch do anyway? Is it compatible with 1.2 users (same servers etc & does it just fix a few bugs) ? .... Sigh....... I have so many questions and google does not want to provide the answers. Any observations would be appreciated. Sincerely.
