Big Idea.

[RubenBlaze]

Hello Modders and Players.

I have a Question: Is it possible that you guys can make SWBF II also Multiplayer  with Mods?

I know that this is a big question but is it possible?, because i love both games (i'm sure most of you do)
and it also has amazing new features like maps, modes and era's and tons of new classes.
I was also notified by a friend that most players use mods to play the game like ''Dark Times Mod''
''Battlefront Extreme'' and many other mods.

If you don't have the mods, you cannot join servers wich have mods enabled.

But another issue is that the servers for SWBF II are dead right now.

So my idea for both issues can result in a possible reopening for SWBF II servers.

1. My idea was that someone posts a download with all SWBF II Mods out there and post it in a rar. file for everyone
to install (if you have the game) and then copy it in your SWBF folders , then you have the mods installed
in your game.

2.Second idea was that you guys could (possibly) reopen the servers like you did on SWBF I, with the mods enabled
on every server with each map of your choice, then it's possible for everyone to enjoy the reopend servers of SWBF II, with the tons of new content to play with mods!

If you guys could do that then that would be amazing!, then we could also make ICW Tournaments on that side of SWBF II and let our community grow more and i'm pretty sure it will because there are lots of players on GameRanger who play SWBF II so it can be possible!

That was my idea, be sure to reply because i need every awnser of you guys!
This message is for all modders out there so guys please awnser!

I have a Question: Is it Possible that you guys Upgrade form SWBF I to SWBF II?

I do not think that is gonna happen. Most players here have SWBF1 and prefer to mod/play swbf1 rather than swbf2.
Personally I prefer modding and playing swbf1, but i mod and play swbf2 as well...

If you don't have the mods, you cannot join servers wich have mods enabled.

We already knew that

But another issue is that the servers for SWBF II are dead right now.

To be honest, they're lately inactive but I guess cause a lot of people are on holidays and probably not at home.

That is literally impossible. That would require uploading probably 1TB of mods lol, so I'd forget of that as well, besides some people do not like to play with mods/modmaps (the EU Community consider mods as hacks)

You are free to rent a VPS or a full rootserver and host them if u want, but I already host about 14 servers (most with no mods as EU players dont like it) and unless I find it completely necessary I wouldnt host more cuase it is a "waste" of RAM. Also we never stopped hosting so I didn't understand why we would have to "reopen" (?)

Hmmm..i understand your statement, i know that it's most likely not gonna happen but still, what if we upload a few good mods out there and then open the servers for SWBF II?, Can we do that? (with a few mods i mean maybe 5 to 15 or so) , that would be great!

There are many mods in the swbf2 category, but if u dont think im right, feel free to upload them (with the author's permission )

Oke  i shall upload a few of them but will it still lead to SWBF II's Multiplayer opening?, or not.
I really wanna know.

Personally, Im not gonna run more servers. The ones I have running at the moment have players in there, and EU do not like mods, so do not count me in for that.

Just want to make sure here, are you aware that the SWBF2 multiplayer is done by GameMaster? If you want to play it online now, you have to download an exe, or edit your host files, just like SWBF1.

I guess u meant GameShare* and i think he does. I've played with him today in a server in swbf1

Well I don't want to argue with you, but they do call their service GameMaster. --> http://gameshare.co/gamemaster

I think TheGangStarTY was going to work on adding a BF2 server with mods.  I might give it a try sometime but not until I am under less stress.  No idea when.   You might want to give it a try yourself?

I was and I still have the server info stored but I still haven't figured out how to add modded maps to it yet so I can't go that far. I've currently given up on the rest of the information for the server too since I'm in the ICW5 tournament, testing Phobos new mod and recently upgraded to Windows 10 so I'm still making things work for Windows 10 (some games have compatibility issues lately). Also, had a lotta updates for the OS itself and my drivers to support Windows 10 which is why I sort of disappeared from ICW5 Week 4.
If he wants, I can let him know how to make a server for himself, although I can't give him a tutorial on how to add mods.
