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.

I've been helping test this client for a while and it expands the opportunities and fun that can be had with Battlefront 2. I see they've got game modes like Gun Game and a bunch of different modes. Today they entered into open beta to keep up their promise of "Open beta in 2025."

Honestly, as much as I'm more of a fan for Battlefront 2 OG, having these capabilities in Battlefront 2017 is great!

Just had a play around on the map. It's good fun with a lot of memories coming back walking round the screenshots archive.

My Christmas gift to the SWBF Community is the SWBF Museum 2.5. I have spent many hours adding things and completely changing the map layout to make it more ergonomic and common sensical. Below is the map:

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to fix the small things I wanted to improve such as locolization and the minimap issues but I have added tons of screenshots, posters, and user images to increase your nostalgia effect.

You can watch gladiators fight with Noobs!

Speaking of Noobs I have added two new types. Probe droids and Noob commanders!

I added over 200 screenshots and posters. I even added photos from the E3 announcement and interviews with Pandemic members. I added alpha build screenshots as well as original drafts of map layouts. I also added photos of meaningful things like xfire. I used the Wayback Machine to get lots of old clan photos/banners as well. These are mostly represented in the Cantina which is a new building added.

I also added a destructible barrier in the Archives hallway that releases a zombie plague upon the map.

I was interrupted by a deployment coming up so I will have to finish it when I return hopefully. Until then, I hope you all enjoy.

Just in time for Christmas, I have made some updates to my Snowball Fight map:

Gamefront
ModDB





Now includes an updated fusion of my original Snowball Fight maps:





I have also updated Geonosis: Canyon, Tatooine: Desert Alliance, and all three Europa maps with improves to models, sounds, bug fixes and other things.

I will be working on remaking my "Battlefront Special" map sometime early next year.
