I think it could be done by hex edits, but it doesn't need to be.  It is a server side mod.  I will edit this post later today to show you how via mssion.lvl re-munge.

Hi PyroJockey,


Welcome to our site.  We have Tirpider here, who plays PS2 SWBF, and the PC side has picked up a few converts from PS2 and Macs.  Let us know if we can help with anything.

if by custom skins, you mean painting new colors, then GIMP will work.  Follow the directions in that second link above.

if by custom skins you mean new models, then my understanding is that XSI is what you want (but good luck with that, it is crazy)

I want to host a DC this Saturday afternoon so that Macs/PC US and Euro players can join.  This would be a time of roughly 2 PM eastern time (sorry Aussies and NZ's  )

IP = 69.246.184.48


The server is up right now if anyone wants to test out their maps.



1:30 PM eastern, Cloud City Walkthrough
2:00 PM eastern, 1 PM  Central, noon Mountain, 11am Central, Mod Map time


To anyone interested, I will show them everything that I know about the cloud city map when it comes up in the rotation.

Get the Map Pack here,

Hope to see you there!

OK, here is what we have so far:
I will make a map pack, but here are the individual links for now.

Links to come.

Hi InfernalShadow,

I would like to help you with your desire to make a new mission file for a mod map.

Here is the link to BattleBelks mission builder:

Please register at this site and post the link to the mod map that you want the new mission file for.

Thanks,
Led aka Buckler

I can set one up for you to try later tonight--check back in 5-6 hours.

its up:

69.246.184.48

double check fire wall settings.

Also, if you can try the computer with a wired internet connection that can tell you if something with your wireless signal is acting up.

I will think about it some more.

hmmm, ok, can i get your GUI?  I can see whats up with it, perhaps

can you enter the Update servers?  that will be a check to see if you have it installed correctly.

Note that you need the update and the patch.

try one of the standard maps:


battlefront.exe /win /norender /noteamdamage /autonet dedicated /resolution 320 240 /nosound /noaim /tps 30 /gamename {PLA}-CloudCity-TKoff-CPinverted /playerlimit 32 /playercount 1 /bots 2 /difficulty 2 /throttle 3072 /spawn 5 bes2r 450 450 bes2a 450 450

you will need to add it to the list

oh, yes, you will need to install the update

directions are in the download link

the map names and stored locations are contained in mission.lvl

all we need for the new GUI to do is be able to choose the name based on the text file that describes them.

(the actual maps are part of the directory structure for the update)

here are pandemics instructions for their software

----------------------
Overview

This software allows you to host games for Star Wars Battlefront on your PC over the Internet or on a local area network (LAN). The maximum number of players in the game is dependent on the bandwith and processing power of your PC.


SESSION ID

Session Name: Type the name of your game session. Your session will use this name on the GameSpy matchmaking service or on a LAN.
Password: Type in a password if you want to host a private game. Players will have to type the exact same password to play in your session. Leave it blank to allow anyone to join your session.

GAMEPLAY OPTIONS

Max Number Players: Set the maximum number of human players in your game (2-50). Your PC's networking bandwidth also acts a limit on the number of human players. See Hosting Bandwidth below.
AI Units Per Team: Set the maximum number of AI units per team. This setting also controls the number of native AI units (Ewoks, Tusken Raiders, etc.) on a map.
Min. Players to Start: Select how many players are needed before a map starts. Setting this limit higher helps to ensure a fair game for both teams but may result in longer delays for games to start.
Spawn Invincibility: Set how much time players will be invincible when they spawn in. This protects players from spawn kills by giving them time to run for cover. While invincible, players are not able to shoot or enter vehicles.
Heroes: Select ON to have Jedi Heroes appear for both teams. Select OFF to disable Jedi Heroes.
Team Damage: Select ON to allow players on the same team to damage each other. Select OFF to prevent players on the same team from damaging each other.
Show Player Names: Select ON to display the names of all human players in the game. Select OFF to hide human player names.
AI Difficulty: Choose the AI level for all AI units in the game. AI units are more accurate and intelligent at higher difficulty levels.
Teams: Select Auto Assign to have the game automatically assign teams to players when they join the game. Select Player Select to give players a choice of teams when they join the game.

MAP CHOICES

The box on the left allows you to select which maps are played in your game session. Map Ticket Count displays the default values for ticket counts for each side on the map. Click Galactic Civil War or Clone Wars to choose which era a map will be played in. Hoth and Endor are only playable in the Galactic Civil Wars era while Geonosis and Kamino are only playable in the Clone Wars era.

The maps listed in the Selected Maps box will be the maps played in your game session. You can double-click a map or use the Add or Delete buttons to move maps in and out of the rotation.

Selected Map Ticket Count allows you to override the default ticket count for each side with your own values (up to 1000) for each side.

The maps will be played in the order listed unless the Random Order box is checked. If that box is checked, the selected maps will be played randomly.

Add All: Click this to add all the maps from a era. Keep in mind that you can have a maximum of 24 maps in rotation.
Delete All: Click this to delete all the currently selected maps.


NETWORKING OPTIONS

Hosting Bandwidth: Select the upstream bandwidth of your PC's network connection. Upstream bandwidth means the amount of data that your PC can upload from your Internet connection. Typical DSL or cable connections can upload between 128 kilobits per second (kbps) and 256 kbps. At these speeds, the maximum number of human players in a game should be no more than 4-6 players. A 1 megabit or better (T1)connection is required to host a session with 16 human players. If you set the Hosting Bandwidth higher than your actual connection, you will experience poor performance in your game.
LAN Game: Check this box for better performance if you're hosting a game on a local area network.

SERVER START

When you're ready to start your game session, click the Start button. After a few minutes, the game session will launch in a separate window. To end the session, click the Stop button.

Automatic Restart: Checking this box will automatically restart a game session if it crashes.

IN GAME SERVER WINDOW:

Clicking on the in game server window opens up a pop-up window that allows you to BOOT and BAN Players from the game.

Boot: Click on a player name to highlight it and press the BOOT button. This will remove that player from the game in progress. However, that player will be allowed to rejoin the game and future games you host using the PC Dedicated Server GUI.

Ban: Click on a player name to highlight it and press the BAN button. This will remove that player from the game in progress. That player will not be allowed to rejoin the game as well as future games you host using the PC Dedicated Server GUI. That players IP address is stored in Banned IPs.

Banned IPs: Displays a list of all IP addresses you have banned.

You can type an IP address in the text box and press the BAN button to prevent players from that IP address to join games you host.

You can type an IP address with a wildcard "*" in the text box to prevent players from an entire range of IP addresses from joining games you host. For example: 123.123.123.* blocks all IP addresses from 123.123.123.0 to 123.123.123.255.

You can type an IP address with a ":" plus a number to define the IP address with the port to be banned as well. For example: 123.123.123.123:80.

You can revoke a banned IP address at any time by simply clicking the IP address and pressing the REVOKE button. This will allow a player from that IP address to rejoin games you host.

spawn prorection, 0-1o sec (integer)  are valid values
