Yay! I'm glad to hear it!
As far as making the loading times less, I'm not sure. Show me a picture of what you have in your _lvl_pc folder, if there's anything unnecessary thats in there from the various installs we had to do to get DT2 on there I'll let you know so you can remove them. My maps take about a min to load and I'm on a 2014 MacBook Air.
What computer are you on?

As far as playing online you can try using SWBF Spy. It won't work for me but you might have some more luck.

You can play online through LAN though with someone else in your local wifi network who has the game. The mods you can play online as long as someone else has the mods too.

Hey, sorry for not replying soon after.  I think I mentioned I am traveling right now so I haven't gotten the time to look at this much.

I do not know why, but the game no longer has a hard time loading, which is great.  As for playing online, I will look into the link you posted.

Thanks again Kit Fisto, your help has been invaluable,

The SWBF I Maps are working!  Thank you for finding a new site that has them. 

Ok, I have just a few more questions that may be answerable, but I am not sure.

First, the game takes a long time to load (4-5 min) between each map and to start.  Is there a way to make that process faster?
Second, is there a way that I can play online?  Can I play online with the mods?

Thank you again! 

Whoop Whoop!!!  We are in business!  The Dark Times II Mod works great!  Thank you for your help! 

Ok, this might be getting a little greedy, but I really want to get those SWBF I maps that you showed in the video.  The link that you used to get the files is no longer on that site... is there a place where I can get them?

Thank you for your help again Kit Fisto.   


Also, the mistake I made was at the very beginning and it is something that you mention throughout the entire video... make sure you run EVERYTHING in wine into the same place.  All of the mods went to the same place, but not the actual game.

Ok I think it's best if you just delete everything and start fresh haha. You almost have it but it'll be easier and your computer won't have as many files on it. Basically if you can run the vanilla game you're good. It's just the process of getting the files in the right spot.

NOTE: You don't have to delete the port itself. Just the "Lucasarts" folder with all the game contents.

So follow the instructions in this video of installing the normal game (which it looks like you know how to do since you got it working before).

Then skip to 10:10 where I go through how to install DT2 and the 1.3 patch. Make sure you left the vanilla game in the folder you're running Wine too so it installs it all correctly for you. Then keep watching as I install the 1.3 patch. Make sure your file directory looks like how mine does in the video.

It should work for you after that. Let me know if it doesn't.


This is how your map selection screen should appear (minus the non-DT maps, those are just other addon maps I have).

This is how the Galactic Conquest menu should look.

Hope that helped.

Thank you for spending time trying to figure out all my mistakes, greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, I just left for a long trip in Europe and I did not bring my copy on the flash drive I have  .  Knowing that, is there a way I can get the game off the internet or can I still use the copy I have in the port?  It just left my mind when I was packing.

I think that doing it all over again is the way to go, so thank you for showing me the important steps and things to look for.  If I can't use the copy I have right now on my computer, I might just wait until I get home.  That will be in May, but I don't mind playing just the regular game until then

Hey! I'm glad you're trying out DT2, it's such a good mod!

It looks like you have the old 1.3 patch installed I believe. I would go ahead and install this version and replace the AAA folder, we'll see if that solves your problem. Don't worry replacing the AAA add-on folder won't change anything about DT2 (it looks like you have that installed correctly).

Be sure to replace not only the new AAA add-on folder, but also the files in the new data/_lvl_pc folder.

Let me know if that fixes it!

Also the new camping is accessed through Galactic Conquest, your screenshots were too small for me to see if you have that already or not.

Ok, so I downloaded the new 1.3 patch that you gave me and I installed it like how you did, but it still doesn't work.  When I downloaded it, there was the (1) behind it which meant I had downloaded it before, so I am not sure if this is the issue.  It also might be because I didn't really understand what you meant when you said this.

"Be sure to replace not only the new AAA add-on folder, but also the files in the new data/_lvl_pc folder. "

I really think that I messed something up earlier in the set-up process, but I can't be sure.  I have several screen shots that show where everything is.  I can still play the vanilla version (but the game now takes a lot longer to load for some reason).  One thing that makes it tough to follow what your video says is that I didn't use a disk to install SWBFII.  I had it on a flash drive and it did not contain the setup.exe.  If I need to just start over and do it differently I am willing to give it a shot.  Hopefully the screenshots will say something about where I messed up along the way (There are several).

Thank you again for your help and time in figuring this out.  I really appreciate it.

If you have any questions about the screenshots, hopefully I can answer those too.

Kit Fisto!!  Thank you for your help.  I will try that today if I have time and will post back on success or failure.

Do you have the 1.3 patch?

I think that is what is in the folder picture I showed, so yes.

So, I tried to install the dark times II mod on my computer, but it isn't working.  I have a MacBook air 2016 and I am using wine.  I used the video tutorial put out by Kit Fisto, but something is off.  When I go to instant action, the maps from Dark Times II are there, but the text is yellow.  When I try to click on them to add, I can't.  I don't know if I am missing a file or if I just installed it wrong.  I think there is supposed to be a new campaign too, but that isn't showing up either.  Help would be greatly appreciated.  I will attach some pictures.

Thanks guys, you all rock.

You might try to make sure items are not going into AppData if you are using windows 10.

I am using a macbook air... which also might be the reason.

Well, anything else I should try?  Could it be that my computer is too new?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Hmm... it definitely looks like the v1.3 Patch isn't working for some reason. (The patch is what allows for new eras, modes and GCs) I am not entirely sure what would cause that, though. It looks like you installed it properly.

I tried redownloading it all and reinstalling it but it still doesn't work.  Maybe it has to do with how I set up battlefront in the first place?  I tried installing it in different places too. 

What I can get is the maps to show up in instant action, but I cannot select them to play on.  The Dark Times II galactic conquest doesn't even come up at all.

Hmm... weird. The problem you're having suggests that the v1.3 patch isn't installed properly, but that is clearly not the case. Can you provide screenshots of the GC and instant action menus?

Here is a screenshot of instant action and galactic conquest.

Ok, download this: http://www.mediafire.com/file/pzznah47785jabb/SWBF2-v1.3patch+r129.exe
Run it and have it install where BattlefrontII.exe is located.

I did what you said and here is what it looks like, but nothing has changed in game.  Anything I did wrong?  Should I just try it all over again from the start?

Quote from: Commander Awesome on November 08, 2016, 12:18:05 PM
Just "The Dark Times".  Make sure the "AAA-v1.3patch" folder is in Adddon as well.

OK, so the AAA folder is in Addon, but the galactic conquest "The Dark Times" is not showing up.  I'm not sure if I just need to redownload them or something. 

Thank you for your help again and the quick responses, greatly appreciated.

You can't play modded maps for galactic conquest without modding them INTO galactic conquest

hmmm... What do you mean by that?  Are you saying that I can only play those maps in galactic conquest?  I don't even know what galactic conquest it is or if I even have it.  All I know is that I cannot play games on the new maps.

Thanks for your help!
