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

 

http://www.forumplanet.com/3dactionplanet/swbf2beta/topic.asp?fid=14923&tid=1763916

 

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.

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

 

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!

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?

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.

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
