How Do I Set a Non-Supported Tick Rate?

[Auggie]

Can anyone point where I can change the tick rate to something like 60tps or 90tps?

[Anyder]

U'd have to use cheat engine, or hexedit the swbf2sm or the easiest option would be that u host with the a .bat file and add the /tps command urself.

[Auggie]

Can you elaborate on how to do the 3rd, easiest option?

Here are the instructions for making a .bat file for SWBF1.  SWBF2 should be very similar

Hosting without using the GUI
-----------------------------

If run the same basic server setting over and over, you can create a DOS batch file to run the server. Below is the contents of the batch file I use to run the CloudCity Only server:


----------
battlefront.exe /win /norender /noteamdamage /autonet dedicated /resolution 320 240 /nosound /noaim /tps 30 /gamename Led-CloudCity-TKoff-antiGlitch /playerlimit 16 /playercount 1 /bots 2 /difficulty 2 /throttle 2048 /spawn 5 bes2r 400 400 bes2a 400 400
----------

Copy that text between the lines into a file called CloudCity.bat

When you are familiar with the dedicated server software, it is easy to edit this kind of batch file.

Note:  Windows Server 2008 has a limitation on the length of a batch file.  I have not determined how to overcome this limitation.  Be aware that long batch files may not execute properly if you use Windows Server 2008.

update 7/1/2016  Longer batch file names can be used in Server 2012 R2 when using PowerShell.

What are the hex edits that need to be made for 60tps? Honestly, that's probably easier.

here is a working batch file you can test for swbf2 server

make changes as you like

copy the text into a notepad click file save as test.bat inside the folder Star Wars Battlefront II PC Server. click save then double click the bat file you just made and the server window will pop up.

uh, that's only easier for you if someone else figures out where to edit it at 

[Auggie]

Haha, yes. That's what I meant. If Anyder was able to hex edit 40tps, shouldn't it be the same for 60tps? I could probably compare the two files and see where the change is. I just don't know what to set it to. Because I'm a newb.

I'm probably wrong though. Things are never usually that simple. :/

Batch files are really easy.  You should try oldsnake's.

[Auggie]

Batch files can't be opened through GR though, which is so stupid.  When I can get people to switch over to SWBFSpy, that won't be a problem, but right now, it is.

Hex editing seems like the best option.

[Led]

Ah, I see.  GR is not as flexible as regular hosting.  Someone will need to do the hexediting for you if it is possible.

[Anyder]

Ill upload it tomorrow

There is an easier way than batch stuff or hex editing.

Just create a shortcut of your battlefrontII.exe (the server one) right click it and add these to the Target:
/win /norender /nosound /autonet dedicated /resolution 640 480 /tps 60

mine looks like this: "D:\Star Wars Battlefront II PC Server\BattlefrontII.exe" /win /norender /nosound /autonet dedicated /resolution 640 480 /tps 60

To set up other options, use swbfsm.exe and then click on save button and then close it. And start server using your new shortcut.

Idk if that works on gameranger

You are 74 Michael?

P.S Nice coffee plant, Anyder
