SWBF1.2 Internet Multiplayer Patch Tutorial

[Anyder]

dunno if someone did as me, add the ip of the master server and the port, and u will see on ur favourite servers, in xfire, when its up or down
(the port is 27900 if im not wrong)

i have discovered for the dedicated servers that apparently if u close all server sessions ur hosting and wait ~5 minutes, then the server names will update with whatever changes u made to them in the batch file. the mismatch bug for current players in session still persists though.

Just tried it. I believe it might work, but the busy screen stays at 0% for ~15 sec, not 100%. When the server lobby shows up, no server is listed, is there a special time when you guys are hosting servers, or is is an issue with me?

Sometimes openspy is down...

Yes, openspy was down half an hour ago when I tried it.

[Syyy]

Thanks to you. I gotta get used to the new way :/

short life openspy! LoL

This is pretty inconvenient, I noticed openspy has been down several times in the past few days. It will hang on 0% no matter what you do for hours at a time sometimes. We need our own master server to avoid the random downtimes apparently.

We are close to a product to test.

will it be ready for next weekend ?

[Fds]

Do you know if there is a way for checking when openspy servers are up and running?
Cause i dunno if my swbf lobby stays at 0% because they are down or because i did some errors in the procedure

Openspy hasn't worked for us in a long time, and even then, not very well.


I strongly suggest you use tunngle for SWBF 1.  We always have servers running in 1.2.

But to answer your original question, the only way to know is to try it.  Also, make sure your exe is patched for Openspy, or your .hosts file has been edited to redirect to the Openspy server.

[Fds]

yeah i just tried them today but no answers from openspy servers

Tunngle instead works well, even if just few people play there :/

[Led]

Well, there are more on tunngle than anywhere else 

It depends on the time of day that you look.  With the 212 event 12 hours ago, there were 32+ on in one server.

I'm not sure if it was just me but when you use Openspy it stops Gamespy working on battlefront 2 if you want to go on that (not that that's a problem for much longer). It was easy to fix though.
