u sure about that? Cuz those last for about 10 min and then they go to another map.
but then again when I saw him all his stats were at zero
I can't wait for the Program to be done, it will make Everything So much easier
I have a little special map rotation goin on right now!
It goes:
Polis Massa - 400 vs 400
Coruscant: Jedi Temple - 300 vs 300
Kashyyyk - 200 vs 200
Mygeeto - 200 vs 200
AND
Space Kashyyyk - Assault
WooT! :D
How do you have Space Kashyyyk and all those others? Is it just black or is it on SWBF1?? And did you know you can Randomize your Maps with:
/randomize
just Put that Before the Maps

There are no spawnpoints. Actually, there aren't any additional maps. It's just a list.
Just look in Star Wars Battlefront II Beta\GameData\data\_LVL_PC
there are three maps SPA\spa1.lvl, UTA\uta1.lvl, TAN\tan1.lvl, that's it.
So don't waste your time.
But what with the other game mods? like 2 flag? Is it working?
I think 2 Flag is (MAPNAME)_ctf

I met Spaceguy today who apparnetly "plays" these maps. I asked him how he was able to play those or if was. he said quote: "OK shut the f*** up or im gonna f*** u up b****, now stop hustlin me you f****** fags!" Very breif conversation...
Sounds like an idiot...
Two possibilities
1) He's a big fat stinking liar (I'm going to put my money on this one). Why lie? To make people jealous that's why. We all want to play these "new" maps. The same thing happened quite a bit in the kaillera community. People love to pretend they are playing something and can't let others in because they're not cool enough. They refuse to furnish proof, but dangle it in our faces to try to start something.
2) He's part of a higher level beta testing team that has access to a later beta version than we do. If so, why's he acting so immature and bratty about it. Sounds like he isn't exactly high grade material. A real tester would be worried about losing his right to the beta by being so public about something that should probably be kept more secret.
As we both know, ANYBODY can host a game with ANY game mode, if they know the commands, but nobody can PLAY it, because the MAPS that are REQUIRED for those modes to work AREN'T IN THE BETA!
Even if somehow a person had the full version of the game right now. Complete, all maps, etc. And he hosts a game.. nobody could play with him, because they just have the beta, which lacks the assets needed for those maps. The beta has the loading screens for those maps, but not the maps themselves.
So if #2 is true, then this guy is flying around BY HIMSELF on these maps. Wow, what fun. Great way to test the beta. I think some of us got the idea that a new beta version was coming soon and these were "leaks" coming from people that were the first to get the new beta. But we have no word on that, period, just rumors. Obviously the internal beta testers at Pandemic/LucasArts have access to more of the game than we do. The public test is limited for a reason (easier to keep track of one set of files being tested than having lots of random stuff floating around that doesn't need testing, inflates downloads, etc). Perhaps Pandemic did hire some idiots, and they've leaked the info without their conset. Who knows. But I'm more inclined to think he's just making crap up to get our goat. Lots of people make up info about being game insiders, because it makes them feel important and gets others to look up to them.
Insiders exist, but then so do fakers. So there's a strong possibility. ;)
So anyone claiming to play these maps is either higher up the totem pole than we are (in which case I'd expect a more professional attitude or at least more secrecy, not in-your-face bragging and snotty elitism) or else they are flat out BSing.
This stuff about a map being "locked" is plainly BS. You can look in your directory folders and see that the maps don't exist. You can't play a map that you don't have, simple as that.
If somebody is going to make audacious claims or use it to puff themselves up to the rest of us, they need to furnish proof (put up or shut up), and realize we have a right to be skeptical!
Actually they do exist in our Folder it is Spa3.lvl
can you play them though in a batch file?
P.S. I would really appreicate some help here:
http://lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=153765)
Actually they do exist in our Folder it is Spa3.lvl
Then you have a version of the beta I don't. My \SPA\ folder has only the following files:
spa_sky.lvl 44,464 KB
spa1.lvl 50,334 KB
Those other space lvl files are listed elsewhere in the \_LVL\PC\ directory, but they are ONLY for the loading screens, NOT the maps!
In my server browser it says Beta v. 2.1263. What does your's say? BUSTED!
ive done ever thing it says but i dont know how to make up a .bat file plz tell!!! :lsduel:
on the notepad press "save as" then switch to "all files" and change the file name to "something.bat"
then you should go to Fileplanet and get the newer Version of the BETA
Well if you say so!
When did this come out? Why wasn't it announced? The beta page said nothing about it. I even had trouble finding anything on FP. If/when I find it I'll put it on the news page and give you credit. ;)
then you should go to Fileplanet and get the newer Version of the BETA
The one listed on File Planet is identical to the one I have now. So I call BS on these "new maps."
Sorry!
Weird, Because when i got it it was like a month after the BETA came out so i didn't have to update anything, BUT i see the spa3.lvl in mine so weird?
I can't explain it. Bear in mind I also got the beta awhile after it came out, since I never paid for a FilePlanet premium subscription, so I had to wait like most of us for the free option to open up. How long was that?
So you're able to play Space Kashyyyk by yourself then??
Because if the map is there, you should be able to play it. Try it and tell me what happens (start the server and try to join it, then try to spawn in). We don't have the map, we can only look at the starfield and the character select screen. ;P
I don't see how you could "accidentally" get the file. Are you in contact with the developers? Did they give you something special to test for them? Did somebody "leak" you the extra file?
Did you get the beta from some other source other than the file planet sign up page? Tell us more...
Edit: I recall now I grabbed the beta 12 days after it first came out. So you grabbed it on Oct. 17th or 18th?
Sounds like an idiot...

I can answer this question, i hope....
I believe hm to be full of crap. here is why:
the internal testers at pandemic (LA really doesn't have much to do with the game mechanics) use a different build of the game code than was released to the public.
I know the Guy that wrote the net code and the server files, and thier buiold of the game will not interface with ours.
There is no newer version of the beta than the one that everyone had to update to four weeks ago (has it been that long??)
The guys at pandemic aren't really playing it anymore or working on it. In fact, most of them are on vacation.
As far as to why you can get teh loading screens, but there is no level data for any of the other maps, the spawn screen and load screens are already built into the game code. the actual level data is in different files, and they have not been released yet.
As far as my contacts at Pandemic tell me (at least when they aren't sipping Daquiris) even if you had the level data it wouldn't work with the beta game code.
anyway, Kurgan, i hate to bump a nearly dead thread, but i wanted to get this info out, and I haven been AFK for a few days.
As far as my contacts at Pandemic tell me (at least when they aren't sipping Daquiris) even if you had the level data it wouldn't work with the beta game code.
I hope they put locks in for only the Beta levels...
Hi guys, I have a problem or two.
I'd like to play the beta alone, without connecting to the internet, so I tried the option /autonet listen /lan
It works but it creates a new profile named AUTONET which doesn't keep the changes I do to the keys/commands, it forces me to set my keys every time i run the batch :(
So I tried anathore way: run a server /autonet dedicated /lan and then connect to my own server, but it seems the server isn't listed whichever type i choose (Internet/LAN).
Any idea? Do I have to connect and log to gamespy to have my server on the list, even if is on LAN?
[edit]
Even connected to internet I can't see my own server if launched in lan mode and filtered in lan type, while I can see it if launched in internet mode and filtered by internet type
seems your computer isn't on a LAN.
Actually it is, it is the gateway of my home net (2 PCs)
are you hosting the game on one computer and attempting to connect from the other, or are you hosting and connecting from the same computer?
neimos, follow these steps:
1. Create an internet server using the batch file
2. Put a password on it.
3. Don't tell anyone the password.
4. Play with yourself. :D
5. ???
6. Profit.
slashdot user sighted :)
negative, i am a NASIOC.com otter.
if you are one, you know what one is.
if you dont' know, then i guess you will be forced to go thru the rest of life clueless.
i don't have time for slashdot. i am also not that big of a nerd.
(no offense to nerds intended.)
Hey all! Can you tell me what is the command to set the countdown time for waiting for a respawn? (Not referring to heroes). I believe SWBF2 defaults to a 15s wait between death and palyer respawn. Is there a way to change that?
Actually, I think it's Random
I could be wrong, but it may be like JA's Siege, where there is a range, based on how you "died" previously.
Well anyway, tons of people should read this thread now that the full game is out. Most didn't touch the beta, and so have no clue how to create a server AND they complain about lag (without realizing they can just host their own game). ;)
Teach them well...
most people that are complaining about lag have no clue what lag is or looks like.
there is no way that i will have problems with my frame rates, but when i see people teleport, i know that's lag. when people start whining about lag, and everythign is runnign smooth on my machine, no teleporting in the distance i know that thier video settings are too high.
turn down you video settings people!
i have all teh eye candy turned on at native res on my flat panel. I get a better frame rate on BF2 than i do on SWBF2. with the same graphics options turned on and all detail levels on high.
SWBF2 is a GFX hog.
Turn down your frickin graphics. there is no lag.
Turning down the graphics settings really helped improve framerates. Much more than in other FPS games, in my experience. Even with low details, the smooth rate helps the game experience and still looks pretty good.
Good points. ;)
Now that the dedicated server launchers are out, I think people should realize that many of the options can still only be done via a batch file (or through the in-game launcher of course).
Still no idea about adjusting the spawn delays for normal players though... :P
Is there any way to get the beta for PS2
1. No, it was a PC thing before the game came out.
2. Dont necro old topics
McCusto, I can find the BattlefrontIIEngBeta file. Where can I find it?
no team killing got that noobs
ok i can run up to as many servers as i have usernames all you have to do is switch users and run the server manager on all the different names and you can use one of the ds server managers on each user also if you start 3 ds manager or 2 dsmanagers on one user it will crash but you can have a server manager and the old dsmanager both running on a username together i have done it for awhile i used to be one of the best on the pc i was good with this kind of stuff those of you might remember my famous underground glitches on mos eisley it got copyrighted from me but yah i have been playing for about 2 years on ps2 now atleast 4 and 1/2 years pc and alittle here and there on my psp and xbox of swbf2 i have got a lot of experience of very complicated hacks servers mods i tried getting campaign to work online throughh server manager since theres no type ability on ps2 like pc that i was used 2 but it loaded and then it does the intro like the movie and **** xl but then it waits for a while wile we wait and talk then lose connection 2 host thats why i need to find a way to type on the small 4 man servers non dedicated on ps2 or a payed for server will work but yah sorry for typing alot or too much ps2 has cheat engine hacks and custom server managers with built in hacks and tools only a few have personall server manager 2 exactly then the official versions like 1.1 1.7 1.8 and 1.10
Then payed for non dedicated server run only 4 players instead of 64 like pc and theres a mod for the max players instead of 24 to be 64 like the pc but it crashes after the game/round ends! Um we also no longer have the ability to download mod map obviously but we have crazy ass people who like to cheat with cheat engine and are mods are done with the server manager it's are only way to mod lol so yah
