I am really doubting SWBF is dead.
Take a look at SWBFFiles: http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.com/ (http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.com/)
Of the last 10 files submitted, 6(!) are for SWBF1.
That trailer for "Ord Mantell: The Forgotten Groves" looks really nice...I'm getting some inspiration
I think it's safe to say the SWBF Modding Community is alive and well.
Though a lot of the stuff submitted to SWBFFiles for SWBF1 isn't great quality, it's still nice. Hear hear?
(Oh and by the way, is anyone else annoyed by "GoldenLeader" ? ALL his comments on the SWBF1 map released are "OMG MAKE THIS FOR BF2!" or something..I am getting QUITE annoyed...)

A game is not dead until it's fans give up. The mods and maps are an indicator of these fans

I realise that Pi, it's just that a while ago everyone around here was saying that SWBF is dead and it has no hope.

Breakdown, I totally agree with you on GoldLeader. He is like a 4 year old that is used to getting toys and all of a sudden a different person is getting something for once. Did SWBF1 people whine when it was all SWBF2 maps/mods? Nope. I've tried to tell the brat to shut up, but he won't listen. The Ord Mantell map looks pretty good but why is it so similiar to the last one?

wtf?
"I am QUITE annoyed"
.
Anyways, just because there are maps doesnt mean it isnt dead. More people are moving to the newer games and there are some pretty good games coming out soon.

KHyler, don't call me a . People work hard to make SWBF maps, only to have some guy demandin for it to be made for SWBF2. It's discouraging.

Summer: Oh my gosh, it's dead!
Fall: It's dying
Winter: We're doing alright
Spring: It's crazy people thought that swbf was dead

Darth Verik you have no idea what you are talking about.
Mac is right how the cycle is. SWBF will do just fine for another several years (I assume)

On this topic, I thought SWBF was pretty boring until I discovered the Multiplayer patch, which led me to find out about the almost-cult following. The downloadable maps and mods make this game much more fun than a console version. I hope I'm not too late.

PC side is in great shape. I can hop on at almost any time and find a 20 or higher game going (sometimes have to hit german servers though from time differences

Thomas actually got SWBF 1 for PC working online for me. I couldn't have done it without him. I found that a lot of the servers are either German, or American with a ton of Germans in them speaking German. <_<
I actually joined a lag-free 40 man game the other day!

Hey Dresh,
I just wanted to say to you that I think your mod is great. I added it to my list over here.
Not sure why the other guy, the staff guy, lesovikk1, got so upset over my two questions.
I felt they were completely legitimate questions to ask. But I wasn't trying to 'dis' your mod in any way. I rather like it.
In fact, I wanted to try it online last night but others wanted to play different maps instead. We'll try it later today or maybe this weekend.
Thanks again for making it.
Ryan

Only Intel Macs that run SWBF 1 for PC via Cider. It's a complicated process. <_<

Ryanoceros: lesovikk1 was not staff he was just some dude ranting rudely about ppl making mods and maps for SWBF1 instead of SWBF2. It was Mav (staff) that edited the idiots post and his edit was meant for lesovikk1 not for you! lol
who all uses PC game on cider and has tweaked to use pc servers?

staff at anything related to gametoast tend to have a rather inflated opinion of themselves... and think that they are automatically better than anyone else. I wouldn't let it bother you, Ryan... although staff members generally do have the (SWBFFiles Staff) logo next to their name.
regardless, nice to see another mapper. gj dresh!

I've rattled up a few now, just to get some practice in with the tools, nothing worth releasing tho (well not in my opinion). Currently working on one, and got a good few more ideas in the pipeline! You've helped me a good few times with issues and if it wasnt for help from the folks in the know I'd still be stuck getting that damn minimap radar off! lol That one was my first map, not much too it just a little bit of editing what was already there. It is fantastic to play Last man standing with it with no AI and 10+ humans. Especially when you know that someone will appear for some ammo or bacta sooner or later!

I do, well I used to be able to. My hard drive is currently inside an air tight bag waiting to be extracted into readable format. I got a new computer, so yeah...

Yeah, I finally figured it all out with a little help from others.
I missed the edited post so I thought the staff comment was directed at me.
I'm so grumpy in the mornings from back pain and sleepless nights, I'm vulnerable to comments like those that lesovikk1 said. lol
I should have waited a bit longer before I logged online.
