And how'd you get to download the dedicated server code? ;)


I got it from pandemic.



However LucasArts/Pandemic setup the beta test in the first place. Before we started using batch files, how did they setup the servers for people to start joining? That's what I mean. Or did they just hand them out to random people and say "run a server for us"? I doubt that!

Pandemic, GameSpy and Lucasarts set them up i believe.


I imagine they'd have their own servers, and they could always pick groups (like your's) to do so. I just wondered if you were specifically picked or you just "got one" some other way. ;)


That actually sounds like it could be the entire pc SWBF community (there's barely a hundred people on at any given time spread out over 26 servers). Kudos!

um, other games? i didn't mean that all 650 played SWBF. sorry if ya'll took it that way.


PS: ASE only shows 69 beta testers on right now, on six servers... four in the US and two in Germany. That can't be right?? Though I see you in your own private server right now! ;)

I might have been. or you could have made that up. it does not matter.
there are lots more servers, that is why i stopped using ASE, it nevers shows all the servers.

Pandemic, GameSpy and Lucasarts set them up i believe.

That's what I figured, but from the way you were talking I thought maybe they just contacted some fans and got them to do it "on the cheap" so to speak! I mean you're not getting paid for this are you? ;)


um, other games? i didn't mean that all 650 played SWBF. sorry if ya'll took it that way.

Ooooh kay. You aroused my curiosity that there was this hidden SWBF community going on all this time under my nose! Bummer. :P


I might have been. or you could have made that up. it does not matter.

Well in my experience it usually did show all the servers. I was just too lazy to grab a screenshot. But that it showed SWBF2 beta servers was a surprise to me, since the game support wasn't added yet. It must have such a similar protocol to SWBF1, that ASE mistakes it for a "mod" or alternate version of the game. ;)

Actually if there are 26 servers that would seem about right, and that's about the same number of servers that there ever were for SWBF1. Sad that a beta test for this game could be greater than that of the full game (though admittedly it a year (?) old already).

Qtracker is good, but it hasn't added support for the beta yet (Ron probably won't get around to it until the full version anyway).

Well anyway, I'll do what I can to help test by offering a server when my computer's up. I just don't have much time to play due to exams. ;P

Good luck!

That's what I figured, but from the way you were talking I thought maybe they just contacted some fans and got them to do it "on the cheap" so to speak! I mean you're not getting paid for this are you? ;)


i wish we were geting paid for it!

the servers that we are running run off the same machine that we already rent.


Good luck!

Thanks mate.

you should join our clan. seriously, take this as an invitation.

how do i start a server using the batch file? i made a txt with all the settings i want and saved it as .bat now i cant figure out how to start swbf2 with it.. help :(

How do you change the name of your player from "AUTONET"? And how do you make the game player select instead of autoselect?

A batch file runs through DOS. (At least it used to, now its some type of emulated DOS)
Put the following lines into the batch file, but make sure to read my entire post first:

line 1) [c]:\
line 2) cd "[game directory]"
line 3) BattlefrontIIEngBeta.exe [game options]

[c] = your drive letter where you installed the game (default = C)
[game directory] = main installed folder
[game options] = server options (/win /norender /nosound ...)
Don't forget to include the two " in line 2.
Do not use any [ or ]. They are there to show where you need to add your info.
Do not have 'line #)' in the file.

Line 1 moves the command window to the correct hard drive partition.
Line 2 moves into the battlefront folder where you installed the game.
Line 3 runs the game and passes in your server settings.

Ok sry but I'm not good at things like this, could you just give me the text for the batch file for the following format:

My BF2 Beta folder is located in: C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II Beta

Dedicated server off, Username [SBF]DannBoeing, Server name [SBF]DannBoeing, 50 player slots, Heros available immediately and randomly among players, an unlimited amount of use for heros, have up to 5 jedi at once per team (I'm not sure if thats possible or not), Difficulty 2, no password, teams are player select, resolution 1280 by 1024, friendly fire is off, all maps avaible in all modes multiple times, with a 200 to 200 counter.

If you could give me the text of this batch file I would really appreciate it and it would be a lot easier for me on my part, I'm horrible with programming and stuff like this.

i got it heres my server cfg i like it dont remeber how to use admin stuffs but its cool
all this is saved in a .bat took me a while to figure it out lol thanks for the explanation

"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II Beta\GameData\BattlefrontIIEngBeta.exe" /win /norender /nosound /nomovies /autonet dedicated /resolution 320 240 /gamename Haha /adminpw blah /tps 30 /playerlimit 8 /playercount 1 /noteamdamage /difficulty 2 /throttle 256 /heroes 1 /hrunlock 3 /hrunlockvalue 2 /hrplayer 1 /hrteam 3 /hrrespawnvalue 0 /hrrespawn 0 /pregametime 5 /bots 15 /ai /nostartupmusic /nointro /ShowAllServers /sideselect /nowait /ShowAllSessions tan1c_con 200 200 tan1g_con 200 200 uta1c_con 200 200

Here's the contents of one of my batch files as a template you can use:

Note, the parts in < >'s must be filled in by you with your info or the file will be useless! Don't leave any < >'s in the final file of course. ;)

Save it in a file with the extension .bat and put the file into the directory with your SWBF2 exe. You can create a shortcut to it to put on your desktop too for your convenience!

Stuff in bold may be altered for your convenience, but those are probably good values to use.

"<Location of your SWBF2 Exe file>" /nointro /win /norender /autonet dedicated /resolution 320 240 /nosound /throttle 256 /gamename <name of your server, no spaces!> /playerlimit 4 /noaim /adminpw <your admin password, you still need to log in of course!> /playercount 0 /noteamdamage /sideselect /bots 4 /difficulty 3 /spawn 3 tan1g_con 200 200 uta1g_con 200 200 tan1c_con 200 200 uta1c_con 200 200 uta1g_1flag 200 200 tan1c_1flag 200 200 spa1g_ass 200 200 spa1g_1flag 200 200

My exe file location is: "C:\games\swbf2beta\GameData\BattlefrontIIEngBeta.e xe" but your's will be different. I think the default is like C:\Program Files\Lucas Arts\something something along those lines. So find your's and type it in exactly.

You can put the maps in whatever order you want. Those I listed above are all the map combinations I know that work. You can also adjust the number of forces each side has on each map if you wish. There are of course many other options, but the above is what I use.

1) Run the batch file. It should spawn another window for Star Wars Battlefront II Beta. You may then close the batch file DOS box window.

2) Fire up Star Wars Battlefront II beta.

3) Go to Multiplayer and refresh the Internet list, locating your server by name.

4) Join your own server. Then join a team or spectate.

5) Go to the public chat (make sure you type CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY!).

6) Type in:

/ADMIN /LOGIN <your admin password you set in the file above!>

It should say you were logged in (in red). If not, repeat the step until you are logged in. If you type it wrong, you'll broadcast your password to everyone in the game, so be careful!

Once you're logged in, the sky's the limit! The server is your's!

Now if you want your server NON-Dedicated, leave off the option in the batch file above. The resolution doesn't need to be set in the file either if it's not dedicated... so delete that line with the 320 business. And then just set your own custom resolution in the game's normal setup options.

If you want to run a game alone, either put a password on it:

\password <your password here, note this is NOT your admin password!>

Or set it to a lan game, using \lan

Good luck!

As for the hero commands, you'll have to play around with these until you locate the info you want, unless someone else is willing to post for you what they all do exactly (I'm fairly satisfied with whatever the defaults are):

\heroes (on by default, 0 to turn off completely I believe)

Here's the ones to play with:

\herorespawn # (amount of seconds it takes to respawn when you choose a hero?)

\herorespawnval # (how is this different from above?)

\heroteam # (probably the number of heroes simultaneously on per team)

\herounlock # (probably how many kills you need to unlock a hero)

\herounlockval # (different from above?)

\heroplayer # (perhaps the total number of heroes allowed in a match at once?)

Other potentially useful stuff:

\autoteam 0 (this is the default, you can choose your team)


Your player name I believe depends on your Gamespy account name.
I'm not sure about changing your own name in-game, that's something I've
never tried. But you can set any name for your server.


Note that some values show up differently in ASE (All-Seeing Eye and other server browser programs) vs. ingame. For example ASE lists "aidifficulty" but in the batch file it's set with \difficulty. Likewise in ASE it's "invincibility time" but \spawn in the batch setting (for respawn invulnerability time in seconds).

Could someone please answer my post?

Ok sry but I'm not good at things like this, could you just give me the text for the batch file for the following format:

My BF2 Beta folder is located in: C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II Beta

Dedicated server off, Username [SBF]DannBoeing, Server name [SBF]DannBoeing, 50 player slots, Heros available immediately and randomly among players, an unlimited amount of use for heros, have up to 5 jedi at once per team (I'm not sure if thats possible or not), Difficulty 2, no password, teams are player select, resolution 1280 by 1024, friendly fire is off, all maps avaible in all modes multiple times, with a 200 to 200 counter.

If you could give me the text of this batch file I would really appreciate it and it would be a lot easier for me on my part, I'm horrible with programming and stuff like this.

Yea, I will, but later tonight. I am almost done with my server program and may have it finished tonight... If not, I'll look up all the commands for you and post the text needed for the batch file.

ok thanks a whole lot. Just give it to me as soon as you can

Could someone please answer my post?

Oh I see you want us to DO IT FOR YOU. Heh. I told you HOW to do it, but you just want us to give you something to copy and paste I take it.

Well since I'm feeling like a nice guy, I'll do it for you just this once!

"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II Beta\GameData\BattlefrontIIEngBeta.exe" /win /resolution 1280 1024 /throttle 256 /gamename [SBF]DannBoeing /playerlimit 50 /noaim /adminpw <fill in your password here> /playercount 0 /noteamdamage /sideselect /bots 4 /difficulty 2 /spawn 3 /heroes tan1g_con 200 200 uta1g_con 200 200 tan1c_con 200 200 uta1c_con 200 200 uta1g_1flag 200 200 tan1c_1flag 200 200 spa1g_ass 200 200 spa1g_1flag 200 200

The part about heroes is only experimental, you may have to change those values, as I have not tested them myself!

yes sad isn't it? I'm terrible with stuff like this.

There you go, there it is! Except for the heroes part, which I'm working on now. But I do suggest you learn how the values work, otherwise how will you ever admin your server? ;)

I added in the hero stuff but haven't even tested it yet, so try this (you MUST edit this to put in your password of course!)

"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II Beta\GameData\BattlefrontIIEngBeta.exe" /autonet listen /resolution 1280 1024 /throttle 256 /gamename [SBF]DannBoeing /playerlimit 50 /noaim /adminpw <yourpasswordhere!> /playercount 0 /noteamdamage /sideselect /bots 4 /difficulty 3 /spawn 3 /noherounlock /heroplayer /heroteam /herorespawn tan1g_con 200 200 uta1g_con 200 200 tan1c_con 200 200 uta1c_con 200 200 uta1g_1flag 200 200 tan1c_1flag 200 200 spa1g_ass 200 200 spa1g_1flag 200 200

Use the above to create your batch file! Make sure the text above is ALL ON THE SAME LINE (ie: not in paragraph form in the batch file, with word-wrap off in notepad)

Edit: Arggh! Goofed it up again, here's the real deal, at last (I hope!).

First attempt: works but know jedi

Second attempt: "FATAL ERROR: Could not open MISSION\200.lvl"

Yep, I see this has been a learning experience for me as well. Check my post again (edited it like 4 times now!). The above loads up and in fact I have your server running right now. I am just going to join it and see if I can be a hero right off the bat.

Those settings I was not sure about, so perhaps it will just be the default hero setting, since it wouldn't accept any of the values I gave it. But /noherounlock will either mean you don't have to unlock heroes, or there are NO heroes whatsoever (hopefully the former rather than the later). It may be though that they made it so you can't be a hero right off the bat unless you're playing the "Celebrity Deathmatch" mode, that isn't available in the beta... we'll see!

4th attempt: works. no jedi

Mainly what I wan't to do with this, is become jedi again immediately, die, become jedi again imediately and so on along with everybody else playing.

So you guys are saying /noherounlock means no heros for the maps?

well that's how it ended up. but I want exactly the OPPOSITE.
I hate it when things don't work. You'll find be bangin my head against the nearest wall :headbump

...You'll find be bangin my head against the nearest wall :headbump
So thats why the top of you helmet is so flat.

The hero thing is impossible.

Well, I've tried everything I can think of off-hand. Apparently you can't change the defaults... all you can do is either have heroes as they are, or turn them off completely.

Unless there's some new command I haven't tried. I tried making up a few like the following:

/celebritydeathmatch
/celebritydm
/noherolimits
/noherolimit
/heroesunlimited
/unlimitedheroes
/unlimitedhero
/infinitehero
/infiniteheroes

...none of which seem to help. Oh well... sorry!

Guess you'll have to wait for the full version to have your dream server, unless somebody else knows how (through commands)!

So I guess just use this:

"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II Beta\GameData\BattlefrontIIEngBeta.exe" /autonet listen /resolution 1280 1024 /throttle 256 /gamename [SBF]DannBoeing /playerlimit 50 /noaim /adminpw <yourpasswordhere!> /playercount 0 /noteamdamage /sideselect /bots 4 /difficulty 3 /spawn 3 tan1g_con 200 200 uta1g_con 200 200 tan1c_con 200 200 uta1c_con 200 200 uta1g_1flag 200 200 tan1c_1flag 200 200 spa1g_ass 200 200 spa1g_1flag 200 200

Okay, found some interesting info on the beta forum, that might help:

/heroes 1 /hrunlock 5 /hrunlockvalue 5 /hrplayer 7 /hrteam 2 /hrrespawn 2 /hrrespawnvalue 5

Here’s what I’ve tested and confirmed. /hrunlock unlocks the hero based on points, kills and so on. Each has a representative number but no one is sure which number is for which one. I have tested and confirmed that 3= points and 4=kills. The way I tested it is with the /hrunlockvalvue.

/hrunlockvalue determines how much or how many of what ever you picked for /hurnlock is needed to unlock the heroes.

When I ran my server with /hrunlock 3 /hrunlockvalue 14. The hero was unlocked when I reached 14 points. If I then ran my server with /hrunlock 3 /hrunlockvalue 25. The hero unlocked when I reached 25. So I know 3 is points and /hurnlockvalue is not a 1 to 5 setting.

When I ran my server with /hrunlock 4 /hrunlockvalue 4 the heroes unlocked after I got 4 kills. When I ran my server with /hrunlock 4 /hrunlockvalue 1 the heroes unlocked after my first kill.

I changed the value many times and it was consistent. So I’m pretty sure /hrunlock 3 is points, and /hrunlcok 4 is kills and /hrunlockvalue is not limited to a 1 to 5 option. It would be great if someone would test this to double check. I could be wrong.

Still not sure what /hrunlock 1 or 2 will do and I also can't figure out /hrplayer /hrteam /hrrespawn /hrrespawnvalue. I can only guess like everyone else has. I would like to know if someone has used specific numbers and gotten specific results.

***
Ok, looks like we are getting somewhere. What about /hrplayer /hrteam and why is there a number afer /heroes if all it does in turn it on.

/heroes 1 /hrunlock 5 /hrunlockvalue 5 /hrplayer 7 /hrteam 2 /hrrespawn 2 /hrrespawnvalue 5

I'm guessing /hrplayer is where you set who gets to be the hero. Best, worst, most and so on. But is it 1 - 7 and what does each number represent?

I'm guessing (and this is a big guess) /hrteam sets how many times you get skipped before you can play again. So if it's at 2, two other people play as a hero before you can.

I also noticed the heroes don't unlock on both sides at the same time. Could /hrteam or even /heroes factor into that? If you set it to /heroes 1 (that's what I've seen used) and you must reach 14 points to unlock, will someone need to reach 14 more points before the other side gets a hero?

I'm pretty sure /hrunlock 1 = time
So /hrunlock 1 and /hrunlockvalue 5 = hero unlocked 5 seconds after the 1st player has spawned.

Edit

/hrunlock 2 is for total tickets (spawns) for any team, but beware because you need to multiply by2
/hrunlock 2 and /hrunlockvalue 80 = when any team reaches 160 tickets, the heroes are unlocked

Edit 2

/hrrespawn is the mode you select to make the hero respawn after he has been killed.

/hrrespawn 2 = time (seconds)
/hrrespawn 2 and /hrrespawnvalue 10 = the hero can respawn 10 seconds after he has been killed

They do count for tickets.
***

/hrteam is supposed to set which team can play the heroes.
Team A, Team B, both but only one at a time (Team A then Team B), both at the same time, etc...

However I have no clue about the values...

/hrplayer is supposed to select the player who can play the hero. Either less kills, most kills, less death, most death, less points, most points, random and maybe last hero slayer.

Again, I haven't tested the values (hard to test it when you're alone against the bots :D )

And for /heroes commande, I don't know why there is a value next to it. Didn't see any difference.


I found out one value for /hrplayer.
1 is the value i found out 1 will be whatever u set /hrunlock to be e.g.:if u set /hrunlock to 4 for the hero to be unlocked by acheiving a certain number of kills
well then 1 would mean the player with the most kills (after the hero has been unlocked) would get to play as the hero so basically if u set /hrplayer to 1 if u needed to achieve a certain number of points to unlock the hero then the person with the most points would be able to play as the hero so really whoever unlocks it plays as the hero or if u unlocked the hero and someone on the other team had more kills than u they would be able to play as the hero.

wow this stuff is hard to put into words

i hope this info helps

omg thanks I just made a server where I can play as heroes all the time

if anyone wants to know:

Good luck!

PS: Kudos to the guys on the beta forum!

WOO HOO IT WORKED!! I'm doing a dance!! :rddance::clap2::yelbounc::rock::band1:3pdance:

Excellent.. so which settings did you end up using?

A dev came on my server called Lucas_arts242 and i asked him about the what the /hrplayer values mean and he said that 1=kills 2=points. for those people who dont know what the /hrplayer cmd represents it determines who gets to play as the hero after the hero has been unlocked

I hope this info helps

No matter what the playerlimit is set to, it always goes to 4 when i look at it on the server browser unless the alue i put in is less than 4. Any ideas on how to fix it?

:giveup:

I blanked out your admin password for you (but not your server password because I guess you want us to be able to join from this forum, right?). Don't post your admin password in public (better change it, quick!) or anyone can just log on and change your settings or shutdown your server... ;p

Anyway, as to the player limit thing I have no idea unless it is autodetecting your bandwith capabilities and deciding that 4 players is the best you can support...

What kind of connection do you have? You might be able to fix this by changing your "available bandwidth" in the setup options in game, but that's just a guess. It may not work if you're on dialup or something...

ok theeere's one prob with my server that wasn't fixed. how do you have jedi Available on both teams at once? I can only get one team and not the other for jedi. Grevious or Vader for Tantive, Obi wan or Boba for Utapu, I'm trying to get this answer from many sources. the one person that did know just accidentaly deleted his batch file and he doesn't remember how he did it...

Like my luck...

Yes I fixed it!

Okay, the /tps command refers to the "network tick rate" (commonly known as the "FPS cap") from Star Wars Battlefront 1. See, in single player, it was completely unlocked. So you could get 60 frames per second easy, if your system could handle it. But playing online you could choose either 15, 20 or 30, until the 1.03 beta patch, in which case it was unlocked. You could use any value or have no cap (default).

So it's up to you, but if you want to "simulate" how it was in SWBF1, you can use 20 or 30. But if you want to play it like the 1.03 beta patch, just delete the command altogether. If you want a large game and you don't have a powerful PC though it might be a good idea to set some limit. But for single player? No point in playing with it that low unless you like it choppier...

Also I don't think you actually need to write "novalue" for side select, I think that was just a gloss by the writer to show you you didn't need to put a number after \sideselect. ;)

:blast5: I'm kinda new to the Batch file can someone post a Tutorial on makin them thx =)
:sbdance
:wstupid:

Create a text file in notepad. Save it. Then in windows right click on it, and rename it's extension from .txt to .bat.

Edit the batch file and put in whatever commands you need. Save and you're ready to go! Double click it to run it!

Note, you should make sure that extensions are TURNED ON in windows (windows sadly is by default set with extensions hidden, which is bad for security reasons anyway, so make sure they are visible in Folder Options in Windows explorer or whatever the equivalent is in XP these days!).

Man, I need to finish debugging my program... Anyway I would like to have a complete list of the commands so it is update when I release it. Please, in case you didn't notice, post any new commands here: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=153554)

Starten, Profil and Optionen speak for themselves
Mehrspieler means more player
Beitreten means join
aktualisieren means update

Perhaps Mehrspieler

Mehrspieler means multiplayer not more player, lol.

woah check this out. I haven't seen this before.

Space Kashyyyk? How can you get this map?

Where do you supposed he got the data folder for that map?

Im also new to batch files and i created one looks like this (from SBF's)

and i named it Server.bat and saved it to my desktop but when i use it it opens up the StaWars Battlefront II window but the inside of it is transparent showing what was in the last window i had up its just a frame and it sits like that ive waited ten minutes before....any help please?

Ok, How do you make TK on so that you CAN teamkill?

first of all i think it has to be in your beta's gamedata folder. That transparent window will pop up but it should turn white with text in afterwards. This means the server is up. Then simply open up the BF2 Beta and youll find your server on the list.

To put tk on take out the text "/noteamdamage "

Does anyone have any info on this guy "spaceguy5" who is able to play space kashyyyk in the beta i talked about above?

I send him a message. If he replys, I'll let you know what he said.

I also just saw him playing Space Hoth too

There is no "/noteamdamage" In my Server but it Still wont let me TK

Uh... I know how to do that, too. Look on the 1st or Second page. I explained what happens when you do that.

Hes'nt playing, he can't, he doesn't have the files of the mission. All he can see is the loading screen and an empty black map.
