Title: Play multiplayer mods/maps together ;)
Post by: Lukas on February 03, 2017, 02:28:23 AM
Hey don't you think it would be nice to play some fun mods/maps together? The more people the more fun we have. I think that we could discuss it here and choose what we gonna play and when and via GR or SWBFSpy ;)
For example I am all for playing conversion mod 2.2 with BF1 maps :D (ahh memories)
and I have seen some super fun civil war II maps that are worth trying.

What do you think?

the same topic on steam http://steamcommunity.com/app/6060/discussions/0/133256080238049876/
cuz' it'd be really great to play it all with some more people ;)

As a matter of promotion, it would be best to use SWBFSpy.
Also, if you want this to take place, suggest a day for the event and ask if it is alright for most players.

We will discuss day and hour when there will be with whom :P
Should I count you in? :)
No prob we can use SWBFSpy.

The best time for an event is the weekend, and unfortunately, when I work most is then, but I'll do my best to make it.

Then make sure to have conversion mod 2.2 ;) and I had problems with it to play online and had to reinstall 1.3 unofficial patch (r129) I recommend to do the same ;)
As for the time I'll discuss it with my friend and let you know or just tell me what day and hours you can :)
Unfortunately this Saturday since 15 ( Poland Warsaw time zone) is off limits for me. Maybe Sunday then :)

I'd rather wait to see what people prefer. I wouldnt take my opinion into account just yet. Like I said, weekends are when I work most.

If you want players to have those mods, I'd recommend u to post a DL link.

You can count me in too. I also had an idea like this before, but never mentioned it. I would be able to play over the weekend as mentioned before. I also have the Convo 2.2. pack so its even better.

Since I do not have a fixed shift per week and I have 5 hours weekly to spend whenever I want (and can), I can't say when I'm able to play...
Hopefully this wednesday and thursday i'm free, but I do not know.

That's my biggest worry on doing this. I run a server on SWBFSpy (Called MuHomies, down for maintenance today though), and I've not had any reports of issues from folks, even though my ping is high.

I notice that a lot of ping limits are around 150, and though I have a ping of anywhere between 175 and 250, I rarely experience a lag issue.

However, with that in mind, I think anyone's mod map ideas would be cool to play - I'd especially like to play some of the Battlefront 1 maps on there. Rhen Var Harbor was always a personal favorite of mine!

Using SWBFSpy does not cause ping issues.
SWBFSpy is only for the server browser to display all the servers connecting to a common masterserver (SWBFSpy). Pings and lag depend on the server host speed.

Sorry if it seemed that I meant otherwise.  8)

I was not meaning to pointing that issue to Spy at all, I love spy. I just meant that I have slow home internet speeds.

My apologies.

Ping was not a problem. Problem was that I saddenly couldn't host maps I mean I could host but nobody could join. It was antivir problem don't know why, earlier everything was OK. My friend host it for me and it was ok I'll fix antyvir problem until next time :)
I we have some more people then why not Spy it's ok for me but yesterday GR done the thing cuz there was 3 of us and 4th person join the game from GR and it was 2v2. GR has more people so chances for additional player is higher + chat room is helpful too, in cases mod crash or something like this to inform other players what is happening and what to do.

And yes GI_Joe we are focusing on BF1 maps and new maps provided by convo 2.2 ;) If you like Rhen Var Harbor it will be in high place on playlist just tell me which era would you like on this map :) cuz if it's only me and ZEHEL our fav is  Clone Wars almost on every map :P

You have to set up portforwarding on your router for Multiplayer...

Disable antyvirus done the thing. In router options I don't know how to do it but i have done some port configuration in windows hm....but maybe it was for GameRanger and not for SWBFSpy.
Do you have any tutorial?

ok I'll try this
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=6383.0
but tell me if you know these ports "3658, 3659, 5600, 28910, 29900" are for SWBF1 or 2?
on steam I found this info "Battlefront ports are 3558 to 3668. Add everything in-between."

Dealing with your Router
------------------------

If you have a firewall/router you must enable portforwarding so that other people can connect to your computer. I know how to configure my router, but I don't know anything about yours, so please consult your manual.

Type ipconfig at a command prompt on the computer that will be used to host SWBF to find your IP of your hosting computer.


If you know all about your router and how to portforward, then portforward ports 3658, 3659, 6500, and 27900 (both TCP and UDP) to your host computer.  Consult your firewall/router manual if you need to learn about portforwarding.

If you have a software firewall, like one built into windows, then you will need to deal with that, too.

Finally, if your firewall has an option to allow a ping of your router, then you should do that.

Ok hosting stuff I have done it all ;)
Sorry but I don't have much time to  play this week. I can do some on Sunday someone's OK with this?

And I discover that after every map played with KOTOR era game crashes or rather stop and you must quit it on your own so If we wont play this era keep it in mind that we must quit and rejoin, mods fault :P

If you can get that 2017 graphics mod to work, please show me how you installed it. Every time I install it, my game crashes on start up, no matter which version I use.  :(
