2 locals on Cloud City

http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=363

I was chatting with Mod Tester, and we discussed that if we can make a new mission mod file that players could download, we could do a lot of interesting things, such as rebs vs rebs and such *in the same server* as standard games, and things like no-cap CC maps.


I propose that we discuss what we want to have in two new mission mods.





1) mission mod 1:  cloud city only--every variation we can think of

For example
here is a video i made with CPs inverted and it loads Endor units on CC
http://www.xfire.com/video/4eb92e/



2) mission mod 2:  other maps

the only requirement is that other than a mission.lvl file, no other player downloads are required.


Any thoughts on what you would like to see?

Hi there people of the world. I have made a video that will show you how to edit reticules in a simple way using BattleBelk's interface tool. I hope it is understandable to you.

[spoiler]Hi,

Can some one put a tutorial for making custom reticules?  (aimer things [/spoiler]

Hi,

I wanted to see if anyone could make a stationary trooper target that I could use for fly-by dark trooper head shot practice.

The idea would be to have the thing stay still, and then blow up when you get the equivalent of a headshot, and
then maybe rebuild itself.

Thanks!

Peeking at the battlefront dedicated server exe file will allow you to find some switches like
/invincible
/unlimittedammo

Here are others that work:

/logfinalscore

the output is in a file called finalscore.log that looks like:
07/20/10 20:19:49   bes2a   137   Kill   REB@14    0   EMP@14    14
07/20/10 20:22:28   bes2a   151   Kill   REB@14    0   EMP@14    12

here the empire won two matches, first at 14-0 and the second at 12-0



/log

make many log files during a game very quickly filled with this debug output:


.\Source\LuaCallbacks_Mission.cpp(195) :  [ERROR]Lua ReadDataFile: Could not open sound\shell.lvl
.\Graphics\Pc\pcRedSegment.cpp(314) :  [ERROR]pcShaderSegment: shader Normal [0xe68b9c52] doesn't support vertexformat [d222]!

Hi SWBFgamers,

In previous discussions we have talked about 1.3 beta, and the issues it has--not compatible with Best of PC (BoPC) and not compatible with non-English versions.

I think the reason it wont upgrade those systems is that the installer checks to see if it is the correct version, perhaps by checking the windows registry. 

Does anyone want to help me investigate this issue? 


Here are some advantages if we could move the community to 1.3 beta:

-----------------------------------------------------
CHANGES FROM 1.2
-----------------------------------------------------

Multiplayer

- Unlocked frame rate
- Better tolerance of latency spikes and frame rate spikes
- Fixed an end of game hang
- Better smoothing of predicted positions and orientations
- Allow more maps specified from dedicated server command line
- Better Droideka prediction
- Added remote admin support for those hosting dedicated servers
- Tighter clock synchronization under normal conditions
- Fixed joining servers behind most firewalls
- Allow more mod maps (was 50, now 512)

Hi SWBFgamers,

Our download system through the forum only supports files up to 64 MB in size. 

Many of the great mod collections/eras are larger than that.   I have set up an FTP account that you can use to upload your file, and then I can link to them on the download page.  Please contact me for this account information.

I recommend SW FTP _LE version 5.08 available for free here:



http://www.oldversion.com/WS-FTP-Limited-Edition.html

it is very intuitive to use.

Hi,

I wanted to see if some one could help me by reskinning the empire pilot to include a black skirt (kind of like the arc trooper but black).

Thanks!

SleepKiller has given me his mod for a no-download Deathmatch mode server.

What does this mean?  You can play free-for-all (kill everyone) and any kill on your team or the other team gives you a point.


Give it a try, you PC users (no download needed) and I will also set up a DC server in a couple of weeks.

some notes:

mos eisly crashed out on me, dunno why

I think there must be some way to get AI to damage players...not sure at the moment

the CC file you sent make you spawn in CFC only--it could be a spawn kill chamber brawl that way, so i am using the stock CC for the moment


your own mines kill you!  (but make no sound)


its a very cool mod!

Hi All,

I have noticed almost no one uploads any files to our downloads section.  Is there anything I can do to encourage using our site instead of filefront or what ever?

We have this site until *at least* 2014 and more if I renew (which really doesn't cost that much, in the scheme of things).  Filefront seems to delete files too soon, in my opinion.

Let me know what you think!
