Xenodius Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Hey, im moderately incompetent at batch files and stuff, but seriously, i cant figure this out, i even asked Dann and all he said was come here... anyway, when i run his SP batch file, it runs for about 1/4 second then shuts off. He said some people have that problem, wondering if anyone here can fix it? here is the file code im using: "G:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II Beta\GameData\BattlefrontIIEngBeta.exe" /win /autonet listen /resolution 1280 1024 /gamename SinglePlayer /tps 30 /playerlimit 1 /playercount 1 /bots 16 /difficulty 1 /heroes 1 /hrunlock 4 /hrunlockvalue 1 /hrplayer 1 /hrteam 2 /hrrespawn 4 /hrrespawnvalue 1 /pregametime 5 /voicemode 2 /throttle 6144 /spawn 0 /netregion NA uta1c_con 250 250 tan1g_con 250 250 uta1g_con 250 250 tan1c_con 250 250 uta1c_con 250 250 spa1g_ass 200 200 tan1g_con 250 250 uta1g_con 250 250 tan1c_con 250 250 uta1c_con 250 250 tan1g_con 250 250 spa1g_ass 200 200 uta1g_con 250 250 tan1c_con 250 250 uta1c_con 250 250 uta1c_1flag 200 200 /sideselect novalue /noteamdamage :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Is the address really where you have SWBF2 installed? Drive and everything correct? Also, you can delete the "novalue" thing, just have it like this: /sideselect Nothing else needed. "novalue" is just a placeholder for, you guessed it, NO VALUE! Also put the batch file into the same folder as the EXE file and run it there. If you want to run it on your desktop or something, create a SHORTCUT to the batch file, and put that shortcut wherever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenodius Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 Oh... that makes things a little easier, didn't know it had to be in the same folder ^.^. I checked the file name, I know thats correct, its copied from my shortcut... but it still does the same thing! Opens and before the entire window is loaded, its gone... I can just barely see it load. Any ideas :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBF_Dann_Boeing Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 hmmm I had the same problem with a friend of mine ([sBF]atatfightr) and I can't find an answer to. Its not the drive that's your problem I don't think, because atatfightr uses drive C and he still has problems, and my drive is D and I don't have any problems. Really weird.

Xenodius Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 Alright, ill take that, I have another server designed to host anyway ^.^ Should work on that and even if it doesn't, i would like to ask.... what about SWBFIISM? (Star Wars Battlefront II Server Manager) at http://www.blackbagops.com? it says 0 downloads and has no link but i mean seriously it has FAQ and all... its confusing. I even tried doing it using IE instead of Firefox, to no avail. Ideas? And thankyou for all your help so far! PS: Nothing is wrong with the HDD's themselves either, they are new.... (Im using two striped 160's, thats my G drive... Confuzzling.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Can you load the game at all without a batch file? I haven't tried any server browser (didn't know one was out to the public yet, if it does, it is likely unofficial and may be buggy), but you shouldn't need one to host a game...

Kurgan Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Edit: My bad, it IS official. Battlefront™ 2 Server Manager Black Bag Operations is proud to announce the next incarnation of our popular game server management tools. Acclaimed developer Pandemic Studios has licensed BBO game server management tools for their upcoming Star Wars® Battlefront™ 2 game title for LucasArts® due for release on 1 November 2005. That would explain why it isn't out yet. Probably only certain lucky people have access to it right now. No reason to make it really public until the real thing is out.

zerted Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 You do not have to have the batch file in the same folder as the game. Make the following changes to your batch files: Line 1) [c]:\ -where c is the hard drive partition you installed the game under. This moves command.com's directory to the correct hard drive. Line 2) cd "[games\betas\SWBF2]" -where games\betas\SWBF2 is the path to the BattlefrontIIEngBeta.exe file. Line 3) BattlefrontIIEngBeta.exe [/command1] [/command2...] -where /command# is the command arguments you are using to set your server options An example of a batch file (don't include the 'Line #') for Xenodius: Line 1) G:\ Line 2) cd "Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II Beta\GameData\" Line 3) BattlefrontIIEngBeta.exe /win /autonet listen /resolution 1280 1024 /gamename SinglePlayer /tps 30 /playerlimit 1 /playercount 1 /bots 16 /difficulty 1 /heroes 1 /hrunlock 4 /hrunlockvalue 1 /hrplayer 1 /hrteam 2 /hrrespawn 4 /hrrespawnvalue 1 /pregametime 5 /voicemode 2 /throttle 6144 /spawn 0 /netregion NA uta1c_con 250 250 tan1g_con 250 250 uta1g_con 250 250 tan1c_con 250 250 uta1c_con 250 250 spa1g_ass 200 200 tan1g_con 250 250 uta1g_con 250 250 tan1c_con 250 250 uta1c_con 250 250 tan1g_con 250 250 spa1g_ass 200 200 uta1g_con 250 250 tan1c_con 250 250 uta1c_con 250 250 uta1c_1flag 200 200 /sideselect /noteamdamage (My server program will be out this upcoming Sunday.)

Kurgan Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 You're right zerted, but whatever works. How come nobody likes to use Respawn Invulnerability? (/spawn) I guess I'm so used to it from every other FPS out there, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you copy and paste something, make sure it doesn't have any errors in it (like a missing space [" "] ). An no problem. Thats one reason the forums are here.

yellowblood Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 How come nobody likes to use Respawn Invulnerability? (/spawn) sory for the stupid qiestion, but what does it mean? Can't find "Invulnerability" in the dictionary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerted Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 ...but what does it mean? Can't find "Invulnerability" in the dictionary. lol, Look up the root word 'vulnerable'. Seems people are starting to forgot how to use dictionaries... Respawn Invulnerability is a setting. If turned on, a player has a few seconds where he cannot be hurt after respawning. This prevents (or at least tries to prevent) people from sitting in a vehicle near a CP, killing all the respawning units before they have a chance to fight back. It is normally a good idea to have this setting turned on and set to a time around 5 seconds. yellowblood, I like your occupation. How much do you get paid and do you know of any openings in the New York area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biny Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I'm having bathc file problems too. I made a thread but no-one has answered. this is my batch file: "C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II Beta\GameData\BattlefrontIIEngBeta.exe" /nointro /win /norender /autonet dedicated /resolution 320 240 /nosound /gamename SuperServer /playerlimit 8 /playercount 0 /sideselect /bots 16 /difficulty 3 uta1c_con 200 200 tan1c_con 200 200 spa1g_ass 200 200 what happens is that the little box that comes up when u start a server comes up, but it just stays black, even after 5 minutes.

Thanks, exellent explenation But if someone's near an enemy CP while this option is turned on, the enemy's player (who just spwaned) can kill him in those 5 sec, can't they? yellowblood, I like your occupation.

biny Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Is the window says "STARWARS Battlefront"? It most certainly does (on the bar at the top) but the rest is black. Then i have to Ctrl+Alt+Del to close it. =-[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowblood Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 wierd. did you try to check if you can join it? I mean, maybe it's working but there's a problem and you can't see it. Basiclly you'r sopposed to see some info text, black on white, and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The invulnerability goes away under two conditions: 1) The time limit runs out. 2) You fire a shot. As soon as you start attacking someone, you are vulnerable again.

yellowblood Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 oh ok... then it's better to be turned on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Yes. The green "pulsing" indicates you're invulnerable. But once you attack, it's gone! Most FPS games have this, that's why it was so odd that SWBF didn't have it. I guess they wanted to encourage spawn camping (since it helps to capture control points that way) but on the other hand it's really frustrating. Having the respawn invulnerability at least gives the defenders half a chance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
