Discovery!

ok ok check this out, i dont know if anyone has figured this out yet, but its possible to play CAMPAIN maps ONLINE, without downloading ANY mods. the way u do this is run a Non-dedicated server and use the usual code for adding maps (/admin /addmap), but instead of putting the ending, _con, _1ctf, or _ass, put _c and you will get the campain mode of the map, ex: in cor1c_c you will be able to play the jedi vs clones on Coruscant as u did campaign but u play it ONLINE and you can play on BOTH sides. You can do this for everymap as long as it existed in campaign mode. Credit for this discovery currently goes to my freind ~GCU~GENRUDEDOG.
....
the evil side normally will win as they have the advantage, cuz they only have to take out reenforcements while the good side has objectives, but it is still fun, esp. hoth and kashyyyk

The Mod Tools are now available on Fileplanet. You can find it HERE

It is about 540MB to download, 1.5GB after it is done installing and takes about 150MB each time you start a new map. So make sure you have plenty of hard drive space before you start.

WE recommend you read the README and the Getting Started Document before getting into it. There is also a documentation folder with a bunch of documentation on various aspects of the tools. We also HIGHLY recommend installing it to the default directory & that you have Battlefront II installed prior to installing the Mod Tools

Remember, these are Development Tools so aren't nearly as stable as commercial software. Although the Tools are fairly stable, we have seen issues where if you undo too many entries too quickly it could cause the program to hang. With anything, it is always a good idea to save often

Lastly, although we will not blindly forget about this release, we are unable to offer support for this and our support group has no knowledge about the Tools themselves.

IF you do encounter any issues or have questions, we encourage you to post it here on the forums and we will do our best to answer it or address it in some other fashion

Hello everyone,

It took us a few more days then we thought but we are just about ready to release the PC update. As a few have already noticed, we have released the updated Dedicated Server Software that will support version 1.1. This dedicated server also has all of its features working now. You can find the Server Software on fileplanet here. Note that this server can only host games for people with the PC update version 1.1
....
We are finishing up the testing of the Mod Tools. It will likely be made available within the week. We are working hard to have it ready by this Friday before the long weekend.

Thanks for your continued support.

Please note there are 2 versions to choose from. One for Domestic and one for International. All regions will still be able to play together in the same game.

Just wanted to give everyone an update since we are at the end of the month and yes, we do not yet have the patch to release. As the team has been making changes to the Mod Tools, we've had to sync up the game code to better support what the Mod Tools create. As a result, we've had to hold-off on the PC patch until we are fairly confident no other Mod Tool changes will affect the core game. We apologize for the delay but want to insure that when the Mod Tools are released, it works completely with the current version of the game. Our best estimate for release is likely the middle of next week.

Thanks again for your continual support of Star Wars Battlefront II

The PC update and new Dedicated Server are fully in test right now. Assuming everything looks good, we should be rolling it out by the end of the month.

The PC Update will include many bugs fixes, performance improvements & minor gameplay tweaks and other miscellaneous changes.

With the release of this update, we will also be rolling out a new Dedicated Server that will be required to host PC games using this updated version. The New Dedicated Server will also have all its enhanced features fully functional. If you are curious on what features will be available, check out our PS2 Server update we just released as its features are very similar.

Shortly after the release of the PC update, we will be releasing the MOD Tools. The MOD Tools are almost done & is mostly waiting on the finalization of the PC Update & Server Update so we can insure it works properly with the current version of the game & vice versa. We should be able to give you a better timeline on the Mod Tools once the PC Update is released

Qracker 4.11 Released! November 10th, 2005 @ 11:35PM ET

This release fixes three major bugs that slipped into 4.1: Quake 4 query crashing, the inability to connect to a F.E.A.R. server, and server refreshes that would just die part way through. I've snuck Star Wars Battlefront II support into this release, plus a few new features. I hope you enjoy the release, and as you can tell from the screenshot I'm almost done with the Quake 4 Mapshot Pack. Expect that tomorrow. Frag on!
