I am hosting a SWBFII dedicated server featuring Marvel4's BF1 Conversion Pack 1.1 mod. The server is being tracked on GameTracker.
(https://www.swbfgamers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcache.www.gametracker.com%2Fserver_info%2F174.59.237.88%3A3662%2Fb_560_95_1.png&hash=459af2430eeee161a1b004814442dee7ed089032) (http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/174.59.237.88:3662/)
You can download the mod from StarWarsBattlefront.Filefront.com (http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.com/file/;117027)
This is a 24/7 server. Drop in and try it out. Your feedback is welcome.
Nice work PyroJockey :cheers:
Is it hosted from a root ?
Yes! Thank you so much! I will FOR SURE play on this server.
Hey Led, maybe wanna try out that SWBFII game night? It seems simple enough since the server is already provided. :happy:
I'd love to play some SWBFII with all of you guys.
This is cool. I am going to try it.
Root Server --> dedicated server with windows server, good inet, ...

I would have to say yes.

Because I have a firewall on my router.
What does that have to do with it being on a dedicated server with windows server and a good internet connection? If that disqualifies me as having a root, I'm OK with that.

So u host it from ur home (not root). k
I'm not sure where they came up with the term "root" but what they mean is a rental server.
Finally found some time to try it out.
Thank you for this!

I host servers from my place of business, which has about 12-16 hours of underused bandwidth on weekdays and 48 hours on weekends. I choose to make use of this bandwidth rather than rent server slots for an 8-year-old game for which there is a rare chance, if ever, of filling the majority of those slots. It would be economically foolish for me to do otherwise.
I like to host old games such as SWBFII and
Descent just as a hobby. If I can do so with no additional cost to me, all the better.
P.S. This also gives me more control over the server since I have direct local access and access to the router and firewall.
Exactly, no point spending money to rent a server, when you can host something from your house or business, that has good bandwidth and is no additional cost. It is nice to have some choices while playing online!
In case anyone is interested, in the spoiler below is the mission list from Marvel4's Conversion Pack 1.1. To the best of my knowledge all of these missions load without error. I currently have all of them in rotation but in a random order.

I have also applied my automatic AI mod I created for my PS2 servers that automatically regulates the number of AI players based on the number of real players in-game. the more players join, the fewer AI there are.
Ratio of real players
to AI players
1 / 16
2 / 14
3 / 12
4 / 10
5 / 8
6 / 6
7 / 4
8 / 2
9+ / 0
This happens in real time and does not require a mission to restart. Currently spawned AI players will not disappear when the number of real players increases, but will not be re-spawned once they die off. Until that time the number of AI players will be higher than shown. Additional AI players will spawn in the next spawn cycle once the number of real players drops accordingly.
I originally created this mod because the PS2 version tends to crash when total number of AI and real players nears 24.
Note: There is still a bug in this mod where occasionally it will crash. This will not crash the server but the number of AI will go to the default set in the server manager on the next map. Currently I have the default at zero.
