INSTALLING MODS run the conversion 2.0 installer and set the install path to :\\Star Wars -Battlefront II if you've got the gog torrent, if you're on steam the file path will be different up to the BFII folder itself.
To check if the mods are installed right go to the BF II folder and go to gamedata. If there is an addon folder with the mods inside, it worked. if you have another gamedata inside it you've done fuck up.
REMOVING 1.3 HUD go to the addon folder within the gamedata folder and go to v1.3 patch folder. Inside will be a batch file or two. you'll want the one NOT named "menu-lite". Run it and choose the option to remove the 1.3 HUD.
Go to your install directory. Open the gamedata folder. Is their another gamedata folder nested inside? If yes, copy all it's contents, back out to the mother gamedata folder, and paste them there.
This is what I was asking for in the other thread. Fucking thank you.
Dominic Torres
you're welcome, it's running now. though all testing this time was done internally I have no clue what will break and what won't
James Rivera
My internet is slow so I'd probably won't be able to play until tomorrow or Sunday, though.
Hudson Peterson
Uni blocks torrents, is there a direct download?
James Murphy
Nigger, the link have like 3 different download links excluding the torrent. It's Skidrow. They always do that.
Austin Young
IF IN GAME TEXTURES ARE BUGGED
"I've found on Youtube a workaround to fix this issue. Just download the file "15.7.zip" from this link and copy the two .dll into the "GameData" folder mega.nz/#F!8tlAhDyQ!2AkAQukJKAYuIWEzDTGtFA!IslFkTSL :)" This fixed it for me on the Steam version too. You can see the fix working here youtu.be/QKin0gvgHQ0
Luis Lopez
I've been waiting for this.
Eli Brooks
SCRATCH THIS
USE THE LINK, HOWEVER MATCH YOUR DRIVER VERSION
Landon Stewart
incoming constant crashing
I've got 3 more tries for these graphics fixes before I remove the fixes and play with a LSD battlefront
Austin Jenkins
lots of issues on my end that didn't appear in internal testing
Jose Baker
SERVER IS BACK UP
Ethan Green
What;s the password, faggot
Austin Flores
PASSWORD IS rage
the pastebin chopped that bit off
Caleb Reyes
My game just keeps fucking crashing
Kayden Cruz
Game keeps crashing every time I try to run it. How did I fuck it up?
Joseph Gomez
no idea why it's crashing but it's getting aggravating.
Ryder Hughes
ABANDONED TILL FURTHER NOTICE
I'll try to hammer out the bugs the server is down till next possible gamenight, sorry guys
Justin Cooper
could we maybe do just a vanilla game without mods?
Samuel Sullivan
FOSS LINUX WHEN FOSS LINUX WHEN FOSS LINUX WHEN FOSS LINUX WHEN FOSS LINUX WHEN
Wyatt Flores
Has anyone ever told you that you are the most boring person ever?
Carter Sullivan
I just wanna play ;_;
Adam Morris
it werks 4 me .t mint fag
Charles James
doesn't matter it seems something is broken without the mods anyways.
Hudson Cox
Bump, is anyone on the serb?
Elijah Gomez
No also nice get
The server was taken down due to lack of actual testing coupled with the fact that it seemed to be unstable constantly. I'm doing a fresh install of the gog.com installer again and might try a game or two, but the AMD issue is still prevelant on my end, those with AMD cards should look into the fix
Ethan Howard
Shit missed it
Jacob Rivera
What was the problem?
Cooper Scott
Only graphical, crimson drivers cause an issue
I didn't encounter these because during testing I only really did Tantive IV
there's a fix in the thread but you have to play match the correct files
Didn't miss anything, I'll do another one though in the future when I get everything ironed out.
Henry Myers
If you could work out a schedule in advance that would be great.
honestly I'd like to get the idea into other anons to start hosting, if not because my upload speed isn't the hottest.
Did, like the Halo Gamenight I did an announcement for a "test fire" a night where I'd try to get the bugs out of the machine so to speak and then tonight was meant to be the real deal night.
I linked to that in the thread, the problem is it's a "match to your system" and the ones people saying did work, on loading a map would crash the game for me
Ryan Nelson
You should make a thread a day before so anons can be ready and do some test plays though.
Julian Gutierrez
Again I try to make a "server test" thread about midway through the week prior to the actual server going up. I just figured a game as well beloved as BFII wouldn't have many issues nad there are things from the old 2015 pastebin that needed revisiing so test night got skipped over as I worked out the bugs with setting up the gog.com version with mods and updated the pastebin
In any case this gives more anons time to download or get mods installed and I'll shoot for next week for BFII
Colton Garcia
So what about the Steam version of BF2?
Ayden Morales
This, I have the stean version also.
Dominic Nguyen
for the graphical fix I did find 14.12 to work for me. I'm about to test one last time tonight for game ranger
SERVER IS UP PASSWORD IS rage
GET IN HERE
Nolan Powell
How good a rig you need? Also what genre of game is this?
Matthew Bell
Downloading, it should be done overnight, how long will the server stay up?
Angel Morgan
I'm pretty sure this game can run on toasters, also it's an FPS.
V2 of the pastebin for the future provides steps to actually enter the server and lists the password.
Alexander Clark
Can someone make a folder strictly for steam users, the instructions are kinda muddled between Steam and GOG
Camden Long
why though?
Liam Diaz
Basically install to the directory BFII is installed, most of the mods already take the "gamedata" folder into consideration so it's just going to the root directory of BFII
Nolan Mitchell
nigger the only things the mod adds are new factions and the conversion adds BFI maps
the 1.3 patch adds new graphical features and bug fixes
just play already
Gavin Ross
No thanks. if it was vanilla I could have just hopped right in and played a while.
Hudson Parker
Are you so dumb you can't install a mod?
Adrian Gray
you'd have to at least download the conversion patches anyways
there is 4 on a technical level, 3 in total if you don't count the 2.2 conversion update which is just STOCK BATTLEFRONT I MAPS
sorry mate but this has been in the planning since last week and the thread was up for ages even during the suspension of the server to fix it. Better luck next time
Jack Gutierrez
There's something wrong with 1.3 HUD?
Landon Myers
It looks a bit on the ugly side with semi-transparent bits tacked onto the original HUD
Ian Green
The original was nice and simple, the newer one is just tacky.
Andrew Ross
Did we figure this shit out yet?
Dominic Jones
seemed to have for the time being
I've cut out most of the custom factions from the rotation sans a few maps I know that won't spaz and cause a CTD
Adrian Foster
DOING HERO ASSAULT ON MOS EISLEY BEFORE TAKING IT DOWN FOR THE NIGHT
In other news I'll plan for another gamenight for BFII next week MAYBE keep an eye out on a thread popping up mid week for the test firing before the actual
Joshua Lee
How do I install the patch?
Aaron Jenkins
It's already included in the conversion mod. in the addons folder there will be a file called AAA V1.3
thats how you know you have 1.3 installed
2.2 of the conversion patch brings the 1.3 patch up to the revision 177
Nicholas Turner
How many days are server gonna be up?
Ryan Jackson
It's not a dedi so it goes down when I take it down, if an user wants to put up a dedi by all means. There will always be another gamenight so don't worry and with the game and whatnot already installed, nothing is stopping you from hosting a server
the latest one only works with a steam install path which is why it got axed from the list and mentioned that the conversion packs it in
Angel Jenkins
SERVER WHERE?
Liam Green
I see. That's information that should probably be included since I'm an smart ass and tried to install 129. Worst case scenario I have to reinstall the game again,
Jose Cook
whoever wants to get a server going then by all means but OP is done for the night
Jonathan Fisher
yeah in any case If someone wants to revise the pastebin with more in depth info by all means. If we keep refining this and make it as smooth as possible
Benjamin Brooks
Ok, now, how do I know I have everything correctly installed? I installed the conversion pack and I can see KotOR age.
Jaxson Butler
Can't see to make it work. I don't see the new campaign and only the clone wars content shows now. Damn it.
Andrew Jones
campaign is strictly clone wars
KotOR era shit is for instant action and Multiplayer only. there ARE more mods out there, including one that adds KotOR
Caleb Harris
Shit, I missed it. I'm downloading it anyway, it's a great game. We'll play it together someday, anons.
Gabriel Clark
well nothing stopping someone else from hosting, now that all the pieces are in place
In any case if I host again it WILL be battlefront II and hopefully devoid of issues
I do wanna do another HCE Gamenight because I got around to making a dogfight gametype out of Slayer and Team Slayer and found a map based around two aircraft carriers with F-15s that would work as a great addition to sport those two gametypes ontop of the star wars map
Michael Harris
just for curiosity, can you take an screen of how your instant action screen looks like?
Ok, manage to set everything up and did some really fun matches testing. found a bug. Everytime I use one of the rocketer droids in the UCW mod, the game crashes. It have to do with the sound stuff? Otherwise, the game have been going smooth.
Anthony Lopez
God damn it, it crashes whenever I try to start any kind of LAN match.
Henry Gray
that's weird, remove UCW and MAYBE it's part of the problem
Andrew Martin
Honestly, the less mods we involve the better. Too many mods tends to make shit unstable.
