Tech Support / Troubleshooting my Desktop
August 22, 2014, 03:30:00 PM
I'm not sure if there are any tech gurus here who know how to test for hardware failure, but my PC has been down for 3 weeks now and I can't get it to boot. I know that my HD is fine though since I was able to connect it to my laptop using an enclosure to retrieve data.

The power supply I was using was confirmed to have burned out so I replaced it with another corsair black, this time 750W. So I know this isn't the issue. I suspect either the motherboard, CPU, or both need to be replaced now. I've ordered a replacement motherboard which will be here next week since I am leaning more towards the possibility of that being at fault now rather than the CPU.

This is what I have observed so far, if anyone has more testing suggestions please let me know.

- When the ATX12V1 cable is connected to Mobo, it will not power on at all. When I press the power button, the fans just barely move, but stop right away, and no further power is transmitted. I have to unplug and replug it to achieve the same effect.
- The new PSU will only power on the computer when the ATX12V1 cable (6 pin CPU power) is disconnected from the motherboard. This is supposed to be plugged in at all times. When not plugged in, the PC powers up.
- When the cable is disconnected and its powered on, there are no lights on the keyboard, nothing shows on the monitor, and the power button does NOT turn the PC back off even when holding it down for a long time. The fans spin but there is no response and it must be manually shut off from the PSU power switch or unplugged.
- Disconnecting the GPU, RAM, and HD have no effect, and there is no beeping noise from the motherboard
- The CMOS button lights up red on the motherboard, but the internal temperature number panel does not. Also, resetting the CMOS/BIOS has no effect. I don't think the GPU is bad and the RAM is easily replaceable if needed.

So any help, advice, or tips would be appreciated. I can't afford to take it to another repair shop right now, the one I just took it to failed to fix anything and I'm better off just swapping out potentially damaged parts for new ones until its working again.

SWBF v1.3 Gamemaster Patch (7 Languages)

http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=1153




SWBF v1.3 Gamemaster Patch by Phobos

Hex edits to the 1.3 beta patch were as follows:
Find:
1.104
Replace with:
1.3

Find:
%s.available.gamespy.com
Replace with:
%s.gameshare.info

Find:
%s.master.gamespy.com
Replace with:
%s.gameshare.info

Find:
%s.ms%d.gamespy.com
Replace with:
%s%d.gameshare.info


Included are experimental versions for some other languages. I have only tested the English version so far. The only hex edit changes here were after the "Load\ load" value. Remember to rename the file for your language to "battlefront.exe".

Supported Languages:
- English
- German
- French
- Italian
- Spanish
- Polish
- Thai

- A no CD + bugfix patch will be released later. For now you need the original CD or ISO game disc mounted to play in the servers. I am currently hosting a 1.3 [FC]Battlegrounds Server.

General / Language Codes for SWBF?
July 07, 2014, 11:10:38 PM
What are the different language codes used for the battlefront exe? You can tell the language code by going into _LVL_PC\Common or Shell folder.

For english it says ENG, for german it's GER. I know theres some other languages too like spanish, russian, ukraine, poland, french, etc.
Can someone list all of the languages supported by battlefront and their codes? With this information I should be able to release a pack of executables for supporting all languages of the SWBF1.2 gamemaster patch.

Player Count Common.lvl Mod by Phobos
Instructions: Replace this game file with the new one
C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC\Common\ENG\Common.lvl

Included in this common.lvl is the new Player Count Mod by Phobos, Freecam, and Exit To Windows for Pausemenu. It is very useful for admins and spectators of large tournament battles.
The LUA source and a possible tutorial for this will be released later for adding to other common.lvl mods.

Mod Preview - http://i.imgur.com/dbtCED0.jpg

Included Features
TOTAL PLAYERS: Shows the total number of players in server.
MISSION TIME: Shows the total number of elapsed game seconds for the server session.
RESTART MISSION: Added to the pausemenu. If used in a multiplayer server it will leave and restart your game on the same map in singleplayer.
DISABLED MENU FLASHING: Buttons on the various game and shell menus no longer flash randomly.
DISABLED BLUE BACKGROUNDS: border_3_pieces.tga were modified to a green outline instead of blue box, which gives a minimal appearance for several buttons including the spawn menu. Preview - http://i.imgur.com/ooAyJFJ.jpg

Not Included
FRIENDLY/ENEMY PLAYERS: Is supposed to show the number per faction, doesn't work yet. I will upload a new common when this feature works.
IDIOT MODE: A toggler for this is still being worked on there is a glitch with the ping bars so it was disabled.
DISPLAY DATE/TIME: The ScriptCB function for this doesn't appear to work yet so it could not be included.
CROSSHAIRS: These were not modified.

Requests / President Unit Models Needed
June 23, 2014, 07:32:36 AM
I am working on a ZC mod code-named AREA 51 (the real name is better) and require 2 presidential unit models. A United States President and Vice-President. They can be reskins of existing stock models, made to look like any previous, current, or fictional president. As long as they look realistic they can be used in the mod. Assets for this might already exist idk. Any contributions for this will be greatly appreciated. Whoever submits the best looking president models will be allowed to beta test the map before its release. PM me or post them here please thanks.

This is outdated and doesn't work anymore. GameMaster has replaced OpenSpy and is easier to use. See these thread for more info:

Star Wars Battlefront (2004 Original) / Rolling vs Jumping
September 06, 2013, 11:54:55 PM
Well this is a simple question with many answers, which tactic do you think is most effective for evading enemy fire? You can answer both or neither but I only included the first two options in the poll for the sake of accuracy.

Edit: the poll should only allow 1 vote not 2 can a moderator fix this?

Anyone who wants to trade some decent (non-public) crosshair reticules for swbf1 hit me up on PM or xfire. I have several dozen reticules for each weapon and also for mortar and trishot. I will explain how the sharing works to any interested modders.

I use to prefer Temple but now I like Endor more and the water bug is one reason but mainly I like how there is already built in support for local spawn nodes and the map design is better imo.
