This is the port, which uses Cider(as the other one on the website uses WINE).Has regular loading speeds, as apposed to wine, and multiplayer works (for me).http://portingteam.com/files/file/8333-star-wars-battlefront-2/

PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR BOTH WINE AND THIS PORT(Man I love that word)YOU WILL NEED A NO-CD CRACK/PATCH.

You will also require WINE to install the game, from which you can move the game files to the port.

Remember to place the port in applications as it won't save a bit then.I recommend using an application caled PlayOnMac (linux as well)to install as it is way easier to work with.Or you can use the installer app that came with the SWBF1 port that you hosted (should work, as it installs certain wine tricks and libraries when you start up the app).
I don't think this is the real issue with why I can't join the Battlefront 2 servers.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the no-cd patch effects the LaunchBFII.exe which you do not need to play Battlefront 2 if you have the cider port.
I do not even have my LaunchBFII.exe in my cider port because it is not needed to play.
Does swbfspy attempt to communicate with LaunchBFII.exe?

Maybe this was posted before I saw you in the server?

Here is some information about mac hosts files

Sorry for the confusion I'm talking about SWBFII.
SWBFI works fine for me now.

You should try modifying your hosts file instead of using the edited EXE files.
Hmm ok I have not tried that. How would I go about doing that?

(for reference I can see the servers on both my hex edited BattlefrontII.exe as well as the one you can download here however I can't join any servers as my game crashes. I was able to get to the loading screen once then it said connection to host lost)

Porting team also has a 2 ports for SWBF 2.They may have long loading times but you can play online(tried) using the SWBFspy exe.(Don't forget to rename it!)
Which port is this because SWBFspy has not worked for me with SWBFII no matter what I try.
(nor does it work for SWBFI for me either)
Right after I posted this I tried out SWBFI online and now it works fine lol
I have no idea why I wasn't able to join any servers for months but now I'll see ya all on the servers!

Hey Kit, how do you play SWBF port without the cd in?My Cd Drive broke long ago on my mac and been using an external drive(which doesn't work most of the time...).It's becoming quite a hassle and it would certainly be awkward to get a no-cd crack folder for a legitimate copy of the game...
Hey, I'd install it on a friends computer (that's what I have to do now) and transferring the files you need.
That or borrow someones external CD drive.
I don't recommend pirating the game in any way.

Not sure if you're talking about the SWBFI version but here's a link to it. Maybe you have an older version of the map or something?

I still can't believe the amount of awesome that is in all of Sereja's maps!
I just want you to know that you make my expectations for map design and faithfulness to the films on another level, EA doesn't know they're totally beat.

I've just realised Imperial X1 looks quite similar to a character in the Poe Dameron comics.
Either it's a coincidence, or dead SWBF3 content is still being referred to in-house over at Lucas Arts, either way... neat!
Wait which character is that?
#69
The hex editor you recommended was for windows only but the one I have appears to work.

I'll just edit the original BattlefrontII.exe that came with the game.
Where exactly are the directions for what to change?
I don't really understand what the directions are right here...

If u don't wanna download our files, you can hexedit the files yourself:

How would I go about hex editing? I've never done it before.
I downloaded this hex editor: http://ridiculousfish.com/hexfiend/
Is this the right type of thing I need?

Did u have this problem when u had the Gameshare patch ?
I don't think so but I honestly can't remember. I know that I was able to play online at one point after the server shutdown. Which patch it was I can't remember.

Hey guys, the SWBF Spy patches do not appear to work for me (I feel like they did at one point but I honestly can't recall).

SWBF1: I can see the server list but when I click to join I get an endless joining screen with the counting.

SWBF2: As soon as I try and join my game crashes. No error message or anything.

I am using my Mac port. [spoiler]http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=7627.0[/spoiler]
I'm not sure if this patch is even compatible with it (I don't see why it wouldn't be).
#73
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.
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=10570.0

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.
#74
Yay! I'm glad to hear it! Hopefully you love DT2 as much as I do! (I've had the mod for years, still play it on the regular)

Here's another link for Marvel4's (excellent) conversion pack. It says you have to register for the site, I couldn't find any straight up download links, sorry. (I have to say this conversion pack is also a permanent on my SWBFII copy, I play those maps all the time)

Let me know if that works for you.
I've updated the link in the video as well.

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.
Haha yeah I figured as much. It's an easy step to miss but if not followed, basically ruins everything.

I'm happy to help!

[spoiler]Also as an aside idk if you still have the "BDT" folder in your _lvl_pc folder but you can delete that. Just don't delete anything in your addon folder.[/spoiler]
#75
Ok hopefully this will solve it. I've attached the contents I believe you need.

Take all the contents in the download and place it in your "_lvl_pc" folder. Replace all the contents.

That should fix it!
