SWBF2 Modding / Need a full sound writeup
Last post by Willkilla - March 26, 2025, 06:50:42 AM
Hello I have been working on my mod lately and I've hit a big roadblock. I've been adding full custom sounds for all weapons and vehicles. Along the way, sounds stopped working. I have read in several locations that there is a sound memory limit in BF2. However, I do not know how to tell this limit or how it works. Some documentation said if you write MEM in the mod tools exe it shows available sound memory. I did so and there seemed to be a lot of sound memory left, unless that value is displayed in bytes or some small unit. I rewrote my sounds to no longer use any stock level sounds and fully recreated a .sfx file so I could be efficient with my sound use, but I still find myself hitting a limit. Do .sfx files factor into the sound memory or is it is the .snd files? I assume .asfx files do heavily cut into the memory. Basically I'm looking for a method to know the sound memory limit and how to efficiently use sounds. Hopefully this is something addressed in the 64 bit classic collection, because just having 1 hover vehicle with fully custom sounds seems to put me at the limit.

I have released a V2 update. Apart from a ffew fixes, it includes a few gameplay changes:

-Snipers now all have unique weapons and remote droids
-Heavy Troopers now move faster, but still not as fast as other unit types

Additional maps, including SWBF2 Geonosis, Kashyyyk and Kamino, will be coming next month.

looks pretty good. Thanks and I'll take a look at BFBuilder and see how that goes.

As far as I can tell, the PS2 texture are not included in the mod tools.
However, I tried my best to edit the original sky texture to mimic the texture in you video (turned down brightness and saturation).
In addition, I used the ambient color settings from PS2.
Make a copy of your original file and replace it with this lvl file (GameData/Data/_LVL_PC/RHN/Rhn2.lvl): https://mega.nz/file/0ClDQa6R#CSiLUosZ1UoFS-XcrXdW-I5PMxLErrOKicNJ8Jr3R64

You could experiment for yourself if you get the mod tools.
Simply import the stock map and ...
- Locate the file: BFBuilder/DataRhn2/Worlds/Rhn2/world1/RhenVar2.sky
- Find the sections called PS2() and PC() and copy the values (or tune it)
- Locate the file: BFBuilder/DataRhn2/Worlds/Rhn2/world1/RhenVar2_sky.tga
- Edit the texture with an image manimulation program (like GIMP) to your preferences

Attached you find a preview.

Hi everyone.

I barely post here but I was asking if someone has made a downloadable alteration of Rhen Var: Citadel for PC but rather than it being in the daytime like in the PC version, it has the PS2 skybox. Looks something like this https://youtu.be/tmawp5JotVM

Please and thank you.

From, Kirbymasters87

Think of a finished mod map as a compiled program.  If you have the source coded (scripts, lua, etc.) then it can be possible to convert from SWBF2 to SWBF1.  However, once compiled into a final map, it is pretty much not possible.

That said, we have many maps from SWBF2 into SWBF1.  Be sure to check out Sereja's maps in our download area, which include SWBF2 conversions.

Is it possible to use scripts, files, etc. from the SWBF1 mod tools in order to edit the Marvel4's downloadable BF1 maps, like for which factions and which classes to have? If it is possible, how do I do this, what steps do I take?

Also, are your vehicles sitting too close to barriers? The AI think if any part of a vehicle exists in a barrier that it's inaccessible.  This is a common problem even in the stock game that isn't well noted.

Ah, not sure why that would make a difference--are you on PC ?  Have you modded your game otherwise?

In any event, thanks for following it up with your solution.

Found the fix, had to host with a dedicated server. AI seems to have trouble with vehicles on many maps without a dedicated server
