oh, sure you can host.  You will need the dedicated server software, and need to use batch files to start it (anyone care to program a GUI for me ?  )

The update must reside inside of LVL_PC just like for players.  The could play common maps, but they would crash for other maps.  It all comes down to what is in mission.lvl.


I can explain all of that.  (here is the link about batch files, etc:
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=1375.0 )

And really what you need is the for the server and players to all have the mission file and the other files in the right spot.

I bet you could host this on PS2 also.

Just let me know if you need any help.

heh   

You can use a controller for PC, but we run with aim assist turned off.

I will keep an eye out for ya

ah, cool, i didn't know you were on PC servers.  Let us know your playing name

Hi GDH92,

Everything looks right.  At this point in time, the maps wont show up in single player.  I think Sleepkiller can help us take care of that part.

Even though it says you are missing the map, you should be able to join those servers.  Give it a whirl!

Hi Evie,

Welcome to SWBFgamers.com.

Do you play on PC or a MAC ? 

What are you and your husbands playing names?

Let us know if we can help with anything

Good luck snake. 

If anyone has successfully installed the update, please let me know what version of SWBF you are using:

original CD version
Best of PC version
Fan Favorites I
DVD version
------------------------------

A couple people are not getting the update to work, and I am trying to figure out if there is a difference among the versions.


I can confirm that CD version + XP works, and DVD version + Win7 works.

hi, welcome to SWBFgamers.com

Thanks.  If you mission file is completely gone, it will crash.  In the place of your old mission file should be the new one dated 1/3/2012.\


If you are still having problems, place the stock mission file from this directory:
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC\Copy of SWBFgamersUpdate1.0\002-Backup of original mission.lvl file\


into the spot where the mission file goes, which is
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC\

Can you tell us what your operating system is?  XP or win 7, etc.

Also, can you find your mission file that was installed and tell us the date on the file?

Lastly, do you know what version of SWBF that you use?
CD version (oldest)
BestofPC version
DVD version

thanks

You will not find too many SWBF2 fans here

And to Unit 33, it is possible to do player side modifications of the lighting schemes, for example, taking away the dark clouds and rain in kamino (for SWBF).  Let me know if you want to try this

Hi Dbiz,

Thanks for the bug reports.  I noticed those things too, and I know the jumping issue is fixable.  I can look into the victory timer issue.

When the full release comes out, there will be many many more options than in the beta release.  The popularity of the beta release lets me know if this is worth continuing (I think it is) and what issues there are before we make it a full release.

Please note that if you have this beta release, the full release will not be anywhere as big of a download

   Oah, interesting!
Juste a question:
- Can we still play online with this update?

Yes.  It will not affect any on-line or single player games.!

Hi JR56,

Welcome to SWBFgamers.com

If you want to start modding, please read this post
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=8.0

after you make it through that, we can help. 

The main idea is to start simple.


Let us know if we can help.

Please note that this is a BETA release.  There will be changes!
(but if you download this, the next download will be much much smaller   )


SWBFgamersUpdate 1.0 is now prepared for public release.
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=410

Only one stock file (mission.lvl) will be changed in your game installation.  No other files are modified.  It will not affect any standard on-line or single player games in any way.

What it does:
provides new maps, new units, new game play modes.

It must be installed correctly to run.  Nothing goes into Addon, so there is no map limit, and nothing
needs to be un-installed (unless you need room on your hard drive).

-----------------------------------------
To Install:


After you extract the file:

STEP 1)

Drag the folder called  "SWBFgamersUpdate1.0"

into this location
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC\

so that it looks like this:
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC\SWBFgamersUpdate1.0

NOTE:  Windows Vista or Windows 7 may look different, like:
C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC\

STEP 2)

go into this folder
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC\SWBFgamersUpdate1.0\001-modified mission.lvl file for SWBFupdate 1.0

and click on

InstallMission.bat  (note: some people report that the batch file does not work for them; if this is the case, use the manual install method below)

OR you can manually copy and paste the mission.lvl file from
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC\SWBFgamersUpdate1.0\001-modified mission.lvl file for SWBFupdate 1.0\
to
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC\

Now you can join the SWBFGamersUpdate Servers for the public Beta test.


to go back to your game like is was,
click on UseOriginalMission.bat located
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC\Copy of SWBFgamersUpdate1.0\002-Backup of original mission.lvl file\

OR you can manually copy and paste the mission.lvl file from
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC\SWBFgamersUpdate1.0\002-Backup of original mission.lvl file\
to
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC\

------------------------

Then, look on-line for a SWBFgamers.com server that has "x" as the era.

It will say you are missing the file, but join anyway, if you have the update installed.




Here is the patch 1 for playing in jetdroid server:
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=419



Edit:  Thanks for the beta testing. 

Fixed Items:
There are some issues that I have been able to fix already.  Players could not jump on Mygeeto.  I have fixed that.

There was an issue with clones vs empire that made it not playable.  Fixed it.


-------------------

Items that won't be fixed:
-issue with maps such as out of bounds issue on Felucia and various collision issues on maps, AI pathing, etc.
Since we are using converted SWBF2 and user made maps (credits are included in the download), there is nothing I can do to fix these things.

(There is also a lack of victory timer in Mygeeto, but tickets still drain.)

----------------------
Items that will be worked on:

-I have ideas for about 100 more missions, and some more sides.  If anyone wants to help, let me know.
-Sleepkiller will see if he can localize map names for us.
