SWBF1 Modding / BoPC ZeroEditor fix(Fixed link)
February 04, 2009, 01:58:09 PM
Well, once again I'm re-posting this due to various site crashes which I won't go into the details of

This is a quick little patch that fixes a glitch in the Best of PC version of SWBF, not allowing ZeroEditor to run.

Installation Instructions: Simply download the file and double click it. Say Yes to the box that pops up, and ZeroEditor should work now. There is no need to keep the file

Download Link

Note: When posting about this fix, from now on only post the filefront link and not the topic link. Gametoast posters should probably update any links they have for this.

Pin please

Also, I just looked at your post a bit closer.

If the BoPC fix doesn't work on ZE, then you only can't do maps. The mod compilers will still work perfectly fine. I'll probably put up a basic post on how to do mods sometime.

I have some code that could get ZE to recognize Battlefront as there even if it doesn't exist, but I'm not sure if ZE actually needs something in battlefront for it to work. Just look for the BoPC fix and try it.

Also, at least with BomB, VMWare doesn't report the right system specs for the graphics card, so ZE refuses to run. Not sure if Virtual PC would have the same glitch

I meant only applying the mean to the late joiners

still won't work, since the negative scores would just get worse and worse. Multiplication, division, and exponents won't work with this at all

Also, instead of going with the average we could go with the median score, since one person with a super high score could boost the average to second place.

Or, if we really wanted to be mean (no pun intended), we could just give them the lowest score of the round.
#396
Sure. I'll even write a simple C function to parse the scores:
]
#define WIN 1;
#define LOSE 0;
bool DidWin(int score, char *name) {
    if(strcmp(name, "{ACW} The Pi")) {
         return WIN;
    } else {
         return LOSE;
    }
}

Best part is that the code would actually work!

The hardest part of defining a formula is what if they got a negative score. Any division would improve the score.

What about if we take the average for the players in each map and apply that score to the late player. It keeps a penalty all the time since the player who joined can never get a score that is the top score. It may be a bit time consuming, but I could easily write a quick little HTML page to solve for the late scores automatically.

I'm sure there is with a mod. I just hate how there is no HUD for the sniper and you have to zoom in to use it

I also believe the collision problems can only be fixed by someone who can edit msh files. AFIK, all of those people aren't here anymore.

SWBF 1 and 2 Tournaments / Re: ACW vs Legends

lol. With a bit of work you could probably make yourself the only person on the internet in the school and host it yourself XD

I'll get them. XFire does fairly nice screenies
#401
WOOT! I just realized I need to go at 5:30 and the tournament is at 4!! See ya there, losers...well, unless you're on my team :P
#402
no. I can get it to almost work by setting the dedicated software to lan, but even though the player shows up on the list it times out :(

My last option is to do a protocol converter. I'd have to catch incoming GS packets and convert them to DC packets, and vice versa. Unfortunately, the protocols were never released by LucasArts, so I'd have to try and decode them myself.

I think what mac meant was to try to boot from the panther disk. If that doesn't work, you just have bad hardware

Open up any folder with a disk in and check if it shows up on the left side

as with what mac said, about:config can control any setting that firefox uses. Very powerful

btw: for any FF users try going to about:robots and about:mozilla
