After reading that we might do a "gameday" on SWBF2, I attempted to install SWBF2. Now, seeing that I put attempted and posted this on tech support, you must be wondering whats wrong, so lets get to the point.

I went through the regular welcome to the Installation, entered the secret code, accepted the terms, told xfire and gamespy no. So far, so good, but then I chose what feature I wanted to install, and this is where it all went bad...

First I chose automatic, and clicked yes. Then, it told me that I didn't have enough data to install the game. So I did what everyone would do, uninstall stuff. So far, I have done about 5000 MB. (lol) It says that I just need 20.  I have analyzed my computer, and it said all I need was more data for the game. I checked how much data my computer said I had, well over 20 MB. I have restarted my PC a couple of times, and it still doesn't work.

When I fist tried installing it, it said I only a little bit of data left, now it's close to what it needs, but it won't go any further. I have very limited computer knowledge so I could be missing something. Sorry if my grammar sucks and you can barely understand what I'm saying, I'm sorta rushed.

nvm, I got it to work. I just uninstalled another game. It still puzzles me why I had to uninstall so many things.

I see Openspy hasn't been working for a while, and before nobody was on it. Is it officially dead?  I really hope not, since that was my only hope for SWBF online. 

 Why should the players get all the tournament glory?

So, what do you guys think about having a modding tournament? I believe most of us do mod, so we could get a lot of people joining in. It would be a bracket style tournament, and each round would be a different thing to mod. (Like round one would be a side mod, round two a map, etc) This could be a lot of fun if everyone who mods participates.  I like the idea, but I'm not sure if everyone will. If this is going to be a competition, I'm going to need three judges that are NOT going to be in the contest. I would be glad to be a judge, if somebody could tell me how to install mods that where not maps.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Modders who would like to enter:


Judges:

1. Me (Maybe)
2. Nobody
3. nobody

Just want to point out, this is just an idea right now, this is to see opinions and who is interested.

 Just curious, who is watching Skywire live? I'm so amazed at how people can walk across these tiny ropes, while I struggle just to walk on two feet. 

Holy cow, about two thirds the way through our TV went nuts, I thought he died! 

So...   what do you expect EA's Battlefront to be?

I think, Because EA isn't calling it SWBFIII, they may not include any SWBFI/II maps.  But, I'm not sure if they are, or are not calling it SWBF3. I think the game will go along the same basic style, like jumping in any vehicle you want. I do not think the game will be much like SWBFI and SWBFII, but i do believe that EA will do a good job with it, just as long as you get all their DLC's...  I cannot believe I just said...   er... typed, that!

Just checked my Xbox Live and I had a voice message from some random person. She said "Fable III is free in the Xbox store, it could be a promotional or a mistake by Microsoft so get it quick." I checked, still free. I'm not allowed to play the game, but some of you guys might, go get it before it's to late!

Here's my mod map review. I doing a more "Quality not quantity" method, since ryan has already made one with many maps reviewed. If you wuld like your map, or anyone else's map reviewed, PM me which one you would like me to review. I will add more parts to this topic like "Josh's top 5", "Best SP maps", "highest quality map", ETC.


NAME       CREATOR       RATING

Jawa Droid Wars       Dark Phantom      7.3
Jawa Droid Wars Review: [spoiler]A good, chaotic map. It has some quality issues though. For instance, droids can use the turrets, and do a barrel roll. (sort of) Also, the Jawa's gun is a little messed up, and a tad bit long. But don't get me wrong, it is fun. I did change my mind from what I write in the review for this map, it's kinda boring, until the mice have surrounded you into the arena. Then it's a fun, survival map. I do like the droid model, looks very nice. Worth the download, but just keep playing the level, even when it's boring, and the map will feel a lot better.[/spoiler]

RHEN VAR BRIDGE       Newguy99       8.7
Rhen Var Bridge review: [spoiler]WOW!!! Very fun, strategy map. Well worth the download. It is a fun battle map, as well as a fun game for shooting. I can only find one thing I dislike about this AWESOME map, the bridge doesn't have bars on the sides of the bridges to keep the AI from rolling off. If you like real sniping, this is a really good map to download. [/spoiler]

KASHYYYK: THE BEGINNING       ---------        7.0
Kashyyk: The Beginning review: [spoiler] This is a very big map. CIS and Clones only. The map had good quality, only a couple of things seemed to not be done right, but nothing that matters much. The clones have some custom skins that I really like, and the CIS SBD was replaced by a regular droid soldier. Ony one issue I saw that really made a difference in that game, a bot got his vehicle stuck, but even that's not a big deal. There are lots of vehicles in the map to choose from. I gave this a 7.0 because the map wasn't that much fun, nothing bad, nothing good. If you like how the map sounded, go ahead and download, if you didn't, maybe you shouldn't download it.[/spoiler]

Duulan: Canyon Village       ----------     7.8
Duulan: Canyon Village Review:  [spoiler]Wow, I must say, this map is AWESOME. Great map for ACTUAL  sniping. The clone vehicle (I do not know what it is called) does have major issues. It is very glitchy, but the main issue is that it can climb the wall and building, lol. The Duulanian sides are very good. The clone sides have been edited a bit. The Jet Trooper doesn't have much fuel, and his weapon arcs, which is way better then the stock one. Even with these negatives, this map has a great feel to it, and is fun to play over and over. The AI has some issues at the end of the game, they stop fighting near the end of the game, and just stand there, and stare at each other. In my opinion, you should download this map, NOW! [/spoiler]

One In the Chamber       Snake?     6.5-7.0
One In The Chamber review: [spoiler] This map is just Jabba's Palace with a side mod. It uses the idea of a COD party mode, One In The Camber. This idea may work well for COD, but not for SWBF. Whenever I knife the AI, I get killed because the AI does it at the same time. This mod isn't really bad, but it isn't really that good. Not much to say about this mod. [/spoiler]

Geonosis: Catacombs       ----------     9.5
Geonosis: Catacombs review:[spoiler]This map, to put it simply, is arguably the BEST SWBF1 map EVER! It really is only fun on the clone side though, as you have to fight your way through the caves. I really enjoyed the challenge of it, it takes a lot of luck and skill to beat it. Even if you don't go through the caves, the big battle in the canyon is quite a blast, no pun intended. There isn't a need to really discuss the map, because it's almost perfect, and everyone should download it. The only issue I have with the map is the clone from Republic Commando. It was done horribly, it just looks terrible. It is the only unit that you really stand a chance with too, sadly.[/spoiler]


I want to show you my rating system, 1.0 to 10.0. (example: 4.8, 7.6, 5.3, 9.1)

1.0 for "Where you sober when you modded this? "
2.0 for "FAIL!!!!"
3.0 for "Poorly done"
4.0 for " Um..."
5.0 for "Not very good"
6.0 for "Not the worst I have ever seen, yet not the best"
7.0 for "Good job"
8.0 for "NICE!"
9.0 for "AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
10.0 for "You are the king of the modders!!!!!!"

If you disagree with my review, please say so, maybe I need to take a look at that map again.

Kit made some very good reviews that should be looked at.

http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=5722.msg57023#msg57023

I will also put I link of Ryan's review.

http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=310.msg284#msg284

Ryan did a great job with his review, but what I'm trying to do is show a little more what the map is about. Sorta like a cross between Kit's reviews, and Ryan's.

If anyone did a review on a map, PM me to put a link in this post!


ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: I'm going to do mod reviews too soon, I plan to do Sereja's side first, or if I have any requests.

I have a(nother) request. The map, would be in a large, rectangular, building. The building would be about as tall as the average standing soldier, and quite wide, and quite long. There would be 15-20 paths, each going to the other end of the building. At the end of each building, a CP. The tunnels would really just be boring old walls, nothing to fancy. Now, here's the more detailed part. Each team has 2 different soldiers to choose from. One, a Miner. He would have normal mines, and he would start with 10, and all ten can be used at the same time. His secondary weapon, would be a Super Mine, a larger, more powerful, mine, and he would have three of those, and 3 could be used at one time. His third weapon, would be Mini Mines, small, not highly powerful, mines. He would have 20, and 20 could be used a one time. The other trooper, a mine removal trooper, wouldn't have any weapons, but a recon droid without destruction ability or shooting ability. This is a tad complex for AI, but it is more thought up for online fights.

25 tickets, no bleed, 2 CPs, lots of fun.

So, why is there no SWBF for GameCube? Graphics? No online? Both of those? Does anyone have an answer? This is probably a stupid question, but I have been wondering this for a while.

I was thinking, we should make a Mario (video game Mario) mod map. We could have the map be the start map in the N64 Mario game. I would like this to be a map with just one Mario,if possible, and you play that Mario. His enemies, well, of course they would be Mr. Mario's regular opponents. I would like, for there to be two eras, one regular, as I just described, the other zombie, where all of Mario's enemies are zombies. I'm curious to see if there is any way to make a weapon where you jump on top of their heads, that would be awesome if it is possible.

Yes, I am the king of the run on sentence.

If the modder of this needs pics of the map, I would be glad to do it since I own the game. Sorry if I left some details out, I may add more later, since I am in a hurry for church right now.

Well, a couple days ago I got my first modern FPS game, Battlefield: Bad Company, and I'll tell you I SUCK at it, since I'm to used to playing SWBF. Any tips on sniping, dodging, not getting blown up within five seconds, getting a kill, etc.

Ok, so me and Disciple are starting a 2 VS 2 bracket tournament. We need eight teams, so a total of 16 players. I want to start this soon after the School year. The first round map is Citadel, the second is Cloud City, and the Third is Jabba's. The rules are:




1. No cussing whatsoever, this includes abbreviations. This is the number one rule for a reason.

2. Be kind, no poor sportsmanship.
3. Screenshots will be needed to prove that anyone violated the rules, or three people confirming that  someone broke them.

Things that are allowed:

1. Chat killing
2. Camping

I may add more before the tournament if I feel it is needed. If Kishan would like to join he must have somebody on SWBFGamers that can post on his behalf, and he can talk to via Xfire. If you would like to join but you may miss a battle, feel free to ask anyone who has already been knocked out of the competition to fill in for you. If you have any questions, contact me or Disciple. This is why I did the post wondering who is active, I wanted this to be a 3 VS 3 fight but did not know if we would have enough people, if for some reason a miracle happens and 24 people wish to join, I will bump this to a 3 VS game, but I doubt that will happen. I am not totally sure on the date we shall start the game, but I will see when the best time will be ASAP. It is up to you to discuss with the opposing team what day and time you will fight, if no times work with your opposing team you may request a different team. I may add more info when I have time to.

I would led to host this tournament, I would prefer it hosted in Chicago

Teams:
1. Nixo/Mart


People who are participating and do not yet have a teammate:

1. Josh
2. FC Verlos

I have been gone for a couple days, and I have updated the rules just now, we are using the ones Deagle suggested, and absolutely positively NO SWEARING!!! Kishan I have made it so FC will be in the tournament.

This will be hosted via Openspy.

I think it would be good for the community to know who is left on the site, post on this topic if you are still alive and kicking in SWBFGamers and SWBF. And I have another use for this as well, a tournament.

It's called FlatOutNet, it uses something like FOV2 or FOV3, which I have no clue what it is, but some people are host "local" servers, I am not sure about the name of it but the servers where you only host while you play on them. These "local?" servers may be good for clan nights, a couple of speederbike races with friends, or a mod map night. If you download it, you will find that it is for a game called Flatout, but you can change the game path. I'm not sure on the technical details, but you may be able to figure it out. I don't have much info to tell you because i'm a little technology dumb. LOL no comments.... 

 So, since Openspy hates my computer for some reason, I have been playing a lot of SP SWBF. Unfortunately, mod maps are the only maps worth it on SP. Even worse, I'm very picky about my mod maps and very very very few I like. I have always loved survival maps, but I don't see many on this site, the only place I trust to get my BF maps.

So, anyone up to make a survival map? Here's the idea to get you started:

The rebels have tricked the empire into recruiting one of their best rebel soldier, you, why? So the rebels can steal some of their technology. Sadly, he was found out. But he was able to take the secret plans, some guns, ammo, a health bot, and an ammo droid, while fleeing the scene in a TIE fighter. The empire, knowing the technology was extremely important to the destruction of the rebel scum, needed the plans he stole. After a while at top speed, his ride ran out of fuel, right over a thought to be deserted water planet. Luckily, he landed on a small, island. To bad for him, it wasnt unpopulated. But no, it couldn't be just your average animal, it was zombies. So the empire was tracking them down and was landing an attack on the beach, while zombies where coming in from another side. You must fight off the attack and pray that a miracle happens, or else it will be a very bad day.

 Anyone have iRacing, im thinking about getting it but im not sure if I should, I don't have good internet. I have a lot of questions to ask so i'm not going to bother if nobody has the game. I only have one question that possibly could be answered by someone who doesn't own the game:

Since my internet, is, well, terrible, I lag a lot. But I have seen three ways different ways people lag in racing games online.

1. Game totally stops for a moment, one, precious moment, that puts you behind everyone and RUINS your  game.                                       Happens in Dirt Track Racing 2

2. The car will go EVERYWHERE, but you wont see it, only competitors.
                                                 Happens in Forza 4

3. The game feels very shaky, and cars seem to be driving unnaturally.
                                                 Happens in NASCAR Racing 2003


The problem with 1 is I lag a lot, so I may be driving very good, but my lag will make me come in dead last. The problem with two is that I dont want to cause any wrecks. The problem with three is, well, that ones fine by me. Anyone know how this game will lag, or any way of finding out without downloading it?

If nobody responds to this saying they have iRacing within 15 days this topic should be deleted, unless a "how to find out how a game lags" conversation is going, then I will say when this should be deleted. Thanks.

So what are your favorite commercials?
                      ____
Mine are the |NOS`> ( i tried  ) mixed martial arts commercial, and the Volkswagen beetle commercial that has some guys in ski masks driving in what i think are the alps.  If ANYONE says Charmin...        

 All my screenshots have turned into TGA files and are impossible to view. What the heck? The weirder thing is its  SWBF, SWBF2 and another game, not my RepCom, any solutions?

 Im hoping to make a video of a video game ( not SWBF ) to put on YouTube, what are the best video makers that are free, easy to use, and can do all the fancy things that im going to need?

 Unfortunately my PC is down a and that means I will not be on this site much, BUT I will occasionally check out the site via 3DS like im doing now, i wont be on much since posting  and searching the web is a pain with this. I do have an Xbox Live account, my name is PathlessDread65. Im going to miss you guys but remeber, ill come back now and then.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
            Your friend, Josh                           P.S. I want to thank the moderators and especially led for keeping the site up and soooo easy to use and the family friendlyness. God bless you and have happy lives, I will continue to pray for you all.
