Discovery! (a kind of co-op)
 

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.

Makes sense. You're are calling the _c lua scripts instead of the _con or other scripts.

This is also the suggested way to create/save a game mode. [mapName][g or c]_[gameMode]

I highly suggest trying this, it is really fun to complete missions with your friends. here is the list of maps that can be played
cor1c_c (Coruscant)
dea1g_c (Death Star)
fel1c_c (Felucia)
geo1c_c (Geonosis)
hot1g_c (Hoth)
kas2c_c (Kashyyyk)
mus1c_c (Mustafar)
myg1c_c (Mygeeto-only host can play)
nab2c_c (Naboo)
pol1g_c (Polis Massa)
tan1g_c (Tantive IV)
uta1c_c (Utapau)
yav1g_c (Yavin)
spa1g_c (Space Yavin)
spa2c_c (Space Coruscant)
spa3c_c (Space Kashyyyk)
spa4g_c (Space Mustafar)
spa8c_c (Space Hoth)

Now, How is playing on the "evil side" like?

Must be fun doing Clones vs Imps.

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

u can also use XL mode maps:
hot1g_xl
geo1c_xl

u should try it

Cool!
 

Interesting. Is this really buggy?

Sounds newsworthy in any case... ;)

I say people should post some screenshots when they get the chance, too (hint, hint)

I couldn't find a place to input codes

While I haven't had a chance to test the patch for anything new or updated for these new commands (I was hoping the thread starter would do that)...

Download & Read the following files:

...here...and here...

Good luck! ;)

I didn't work I've tried and tried again nothing it doesn't work btw I'm using a patched version of BFII would that have to do with anything

You may need to tell us step by step what you're doing. Obviously this has to be your own server, not somebody else's...

Are you running a dedicated server? Or non-dedicated?

Are you running the game from a batch file, command line exe, Server Launcher program (and if so which one), or from in-game?

Are you able to "chat" in your game? That's the key. This game has no "console" like many other FPS games, so in multiplayer you use your chat window to enter commands (which is clumsy and you risk revealing your admin info if you accidentally mistype it so be careful!).

Basically you have to have the admin detail enabled first off, and then in chat you have to enter the proper commands with the proper syntax. Type slowly and carefully.

In addition to the links I provided, you may also want to read this sticky as the info is applicable to full version as well (it was originally created for the public beta).

I'm doing the commands right in game I followed the instructions to the letter about how you start off with /admin/password I started off with that the game seemed to except it but I didn't get feedback I think I don't have admin detail enabled where do you go to enable admin detail?

First, which method are you using to run the server?

In-game launcher?
Dedicated Server program (if so, which one)?
Batch (bat) file?
Command line shortcut?

If for example you're running a batch file, post here your settings. If it's a command line, post the full command line. If it's the in-game browser I guess take a screenshot of your screen and post it (alt+printscreen, paste into a paint program, save, upload to a free image uploader service or whatever).

In-game launcher

Then you should be able to do admin commands on your server. You're the admin by default. You just need to type the commands correctly. Sorry I don't have time to go in-game and double check them to be sure exactly what you need to do to make sure it's working. Anybody else up to the task?

all you have to type is

/ADMIN /LOGIN


and then


/ADMIN /ADDMAP <mapID>

Alright it works thanks for being patient

In some battles like hoth our finest hour the evil side (which is the Imps for hoth)has the objectives and the rebels just have to defeat all reienforcements.So the good side has to take out all the reienforcements on some campain maps.

That was the best discovery I ever heard about.I'm puting you on my buddies list for that discovery!

Does this also work for the PS2 version of the game?

The server software almost thesame as far as I know. Would be cool if someone could tell me if it would work

Im not sure but you could test it out

Has anybody figured out a way to choose sides in these campaigns?

does the evil side have heros

Hi all. Hi Dan, remember me from BFII online? My game name will be {****FREEZE****}Leader.Alpha if you are looking for me. Anyway, I was told to google to find how to do campaign in MP. The guy wouldn't tell me, because of a "secret". I was led by my search here, to find this thread. So I registered, even though i saw you post. So here I am now. But, a question. Where is the anti-trooper level designation?

:awing: :bluflag2: :guiness:

Hi Bob :). Wow, that's some pretty neat stuff you've found there Dann.

How do we choose sides? For example,on coruscant (cor1c_c) i can only play as a rebel, not even jedi. Thanks in advance.

what hey no fair
 

No fair to console users
(since of course there is no pc non-dedicated server usable with consoles)

Pandemic needs to make this possible for console dedicated servers as well
I'll bet they release an update right after the Linux binaries (i.e. never)
j/k

Pretty old...
Knew this for quite a while, but don't use it. Why?
Simple... One mispelling makes the server stop when the current map ends...

Its still fun just dont make a Mistake =)
 

True we both know this but who cares if it freezes so do try it because it will be fun. SBF_Dann_Boeing already gave the list so set this page as favorites or print this page so you can look at the list while in game i rather you print.you can also download new maps for swbf2 at www.gametoast.com maps for swbf2 and swbf1.So try to get the best updates on SWBF2 and have fun with your codes and your new maps.

Not a new discovery.
I often use it, but only when I'm not trying somebody out.
And what are you talking about?
And XFire lags the server, so I don't use it. It makes my comp. freeze.

Thank You
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------The Admin codes are complete I though I was missing some but I guess I knew them all though to do the campaign use the addmap as Kurgan said and use the code as SBF_Dann_Boeing said so the whole entire thing you need to do is /admin /addmap cor1c_c not con or 1flag remember it will freeze if you you put the wrong era or mode and more if you dont get this, then download the admin codes above from Kurgan .quote.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------But it is worth it to track your friends and talk to them during your game play ....I not making you do it you can if you want some people may not know xfire but if you remembered when you first downloaded starwarsbattlefront 2/1 it may come with xfire.it ask you a question do you want to download it and you need to rigester (if you havent) though xfire may seem not new but you can use it for other games.

No it isn't worth it...
I prefer playing without freezing, and Gamespy is good enough, usually.

New Multiplayer options Discovered
 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
yea............but ummm.....isnt gamespy harder to register............and thats why but I think we should not change the topic and I think SBF_Dann_Boeing has said enough but anyone may continue just for any maps scroll up and Dann has posted either some or all............

got a question..

me and my mate tried this out, and got it to load the maps fine. But as we were two people, it put us on different teams, so we could not play these together.

Is there any way to work around it?

I'm proud to say that my clan leader discovered this. :nutz1:

Has anyone been able to do this in a dedicated server environment?

To switch teams in a campaign game, the admin must login then type the command:
/ADMIN /SWAP 1
This will switch player#1. To switch someone else you must type SWAP 2, SWAP 3 or whatever # coresponds to the player you want to switch.
If that doesn't work, post a reply with as much info as possible and I will try to guide you in the right direction.

As for a dedicated server: everytime I add a campaign map, the server disconnects and boots all players. I'm still searching for how to fix it.

CAN YOU DO THIS WITH THE BLACKBAGOPS SERVER MANAGER? AND HOW?

No, because the campaign mode is not included with the BBO.
