Tired of the same old sniper experience?

After eight years of fighting clone jets without a jetpack of their own, the CIS have finally developed their own jet pack unit.  Players are reported to be seen typing "Aw man, I'm clones again--I'm never CIS!".

The purpose of this board is to let players know what is being included in the player and modder made SWBFUpdate 1.0.

OK, thanks for the update files, Sleepkiller.

No problems so far, I've been running it for a few hours. 

Something flakey must have crept into the sides somehow.   

Hi Herve,

Thanks  for coming to SWBFgamers.com. 

I wanted to bring people here to get the file and information, in the case that they had any questions and to see what else the site has to offer.  Also, since this is a beta release  there will be some updates and I wanted to make sure people know where to get them.

The other reason is that I just don't know much about torrents

Hi Kiwi,

Welcome to SWBFgamers.com!

If you are new to modding, I would suggest reading over this post:
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=8.0

to get the basic idea. 

As sleepkiller said, start simple.  It takes a bit to get the hang of it, but read the tutorials a couple times, give it a try, and then ask some questions when you need help.

yes, it worked fine until March 2010 

There is the 9999 "trick" though. 
-Host your own server with game CD
-exit your server
-then you can join the 9999 server
(otherwise you can not)

****NOTE: As of March 2010, something changed with Gamespy, and the portforwarding instructions are no longer working correctly. PLA members are currently trying to find out what is going on. Computers that are not behind a firewall do not seem to have this issue.********

The reason that it pings 9999 is because the server sits behind a firewall/router.

Anytime there is a router involved, it will ping at 9999 even if you have properly port-forwarded.

The is an issue with Gamespy.  I have contacted them about it, but they ignored me.

The only way around it is to connected your computer directly to your cable modem without any router.  This is usually not practical.

Please see this post for more information:
http://www.xfire.com/communities/perfectlittleangels/forums/157275/topic/1504084/

thanks for taking a look. 

I was only using the jetdroid unit and the rest were standard CW sides.

It is strange.  The server just crashes randomly.

I am going back to what I used last week, and adding things one at a time, to try to find the issue.

Would you like the sides that I compiled that didn't work?

Awesome!   

It would be interesting to see what it does

Maybe I could do a hex edit on a recompiled shell to look for x and the end instead of a, c, i, r

In any event, I made a new mission will "a" at the end, it is attached to this post.

For fun, can you make them all "a" era for now, and try it?  (Maybe post a screen shot?)

The benefits of using standard eras may out weigh the reasons I chose the x designation.

Thanks!

Hi Sleepkiller,

Thanks for looking into this.  Here are my beta test mission files and map names.  Sorry in advance if I spelled things wrong

I used the extension x in my map lua file names.

For example my first lua is called L0001x.

I did this for three reasons:
-cross era mods would not make sense to be A or C
-I plan the initial update plus two more updates, so I would have x, y, z as the last characters
-I had hoped we could have the x, y, or z interpreted as
x:  get your 1.0 update at SWBFgamers.com
y:  get your 1.1 update at SWBFgamers.com
z:  get your 1.2 update at SWBFgamers.com




Thanks
