Title: SWBF Windowed Mode?
Post by: Ultimo on November 04, 2014, 06:58:58 AM
How can SWBF be run in a Windowed Mode?

I've noticed some discussions about it amongst some old forums but none of them seem to answer the question, so I'm curious now.

ever use noframelock?

works the same way.

Make a shortcut to the actual battlefront.exe file.
In the shortcut, edit the target to:


"C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\battlefront.exe" /nointro /win

this will skip the intro movies and put it in a windowed mode

There are a small handful of commands that work here.  You can search for a discussion on dedicated server switches to see some that might work, or you can hex edit your game to look for other commands.

You know if you just do alt tab you can get to your main screen anyways? it just minimizes the game? and I am guessing with this edit it would do what Star Wars Republic Commando does?

Can you also then make one that doesn't skip the introduction stuff in the window?

I wish in the opening window it would show a movie of actual SWBF players battling each other x-D I think that would be cool!

Commands? Do you mean like an in-game Console line?
