welcome to the site 

Hey everyone! Yesterday I decided to play my favorite game in multiplayer for the first time. I'm a complete newbie, so I misjudged the friendliness of a live player who suddenly appeared among the bots. He patiently gestured while I shot at him nonstop

But eventually, his patience won out, and I finally figured it out. It turned out to be a great introduction and a tour of the iconic battlefront sites of SWBF. I'm truly happy to know that such cool and friendly people still play such a wonderful game!

Buddy, if you see this message, I want to thank you for the friendly 'sky shooting' and the spaceship rides! It was amazing!

P.S. My in-game nickname was 'Player 3' (I played on the Chicago server). I don't quite remember your nickname, but I'm sure you're a legend! 🚀✨🤝

you need to make a new sound sfx.

Hello everyone
Hope all you guys are fine
I will soon get a new pc for winfow 11 and
reinstall my swbf games on steam or swbfspy
I hope I will see you guys around, I miss you all
See you

You can't load two stock sound LVLs in like that as it will try to load samples from both into memory - and since stock sound calls imndividually take up a lot of the allocated sound memory, the result is an overload which results in no sounds playing.

It would seem to me that you have over-written certain sounds.  I don't have the expertise, but you would need to get the sound files, rename them, and then remunge them.  Even then, I'm not sure.

Quote from: SG-17 on December 30, 2025, 08:26:08 AMAs you may know, hosting a server from your home computer generally results in the Ping showing up as N/A in the server browser, at least on PS2. Is there a specific port that needs to be forwarded to allow the ping to show correctly?

I currently forward:
TCP: 3389, 3558, 3658, 3659, 4658, 6500, 27900, 29910, 29920, 45000, 50139, 50140, 50143, 50156, 50210, 59589, 59673
UDP: 3558, 3658, 3659, 4658, 6500, 27900, 29910, 29920

Am I missing any here?

If it really uses ping, then it is ICMP controlled and is not a port.



maybe the information here can help

You might see if there is a 'respond to ping' in your router/firewall.

My recollection is that this was an issue even before Gamespy went away.

Hi everyone. I'm a huge fan of the first Battlefront. I first discovered modding in 2017. It's been almost 10 years since I learned how to add sounds from a different era.

I'm using Dark_Phantom's Randomizer mod. I watched a video about it and read here about adding sounds from a different era, also from Dark_Phantom.

When I add the line ReadDataFile("sound\\bes.lvl;bes2gcw"); followed by ReadDataFile("sound\\bes.lvl;bes2cw");, there are no weapon or unit death sounds. If I swap them, it's the other way around. Basically, the first line for the era will work, but I don't know how to add sounds from both eras together. I ran it on version 1.2 and the Steam version with Antstafer's Enhanced Gameplay & Graphics Mod.

I'd appreciate any help; it's very useful for the Randomizer mod. Thank you.
