I doubt it works though from hearing its discription.It wont work on ps2.

Yeah, I watched those vids on your GT page, dx. That looks like the PC version of SWBFII.
I like that gun they were using on Tantive4. It was like a mixture of a mortar and assault rifle!



Too bad it won't work on ps2.

yeah it only works with pc

wait some of the mods are .rar files how do i use those?

nvm

moddin is fun and easy =p but i cant join my own server =[

if you think it is easy well...be my guest then

well hex editiing hard but the other stuff piece of cake lol

hex editing is confusing

hex editing is easy once you understand the format.

You're basically just replacing values with other values.
The hard part is figuring out which values do what....
And that's what you have the ODFs for!

If you have a lot of time on your hands and you're interested in writing code, this is a good start.
If you don't like it, you won't wanna do this for a living!

Here is a link to Astro's tutorial for HEX editing using the ODF files for reference.

It's by far the best starter guide I've run into.

How do you get the .LVL files into .ODF files?

I think you are a little confused

The lvl files reside on a PC based dedicated server and contain the modded information that is downloaded to the PS2 clients (players) that log into the server.

The lvl files are modded by HEX editing the contents using a HEX editor.

The ODF files were intended for modding the PC version of SWBF2 and are only used for reference material to guide you in HEX editing the contents of the lvl files.

Astro's tutorial is the best example I can give of HEX editing a lvl file.

ok, im sorry. i was a little confused there. anyway, i got the game loaded with all my mods and downloaded all the mods but when i tried to put the server up, it didn't show up on the ps2. i asked my friend to look and he said he didn't see my server. can anyone help?

First of all I recommend you download and keep a copy of server manager users guide. This is the official manual from Black Bag Ops but for some reason is not included with the server manager. It is written for primarily for the PC version so there are some things mentioned that do not apply such as the in game text chat system. (PC version has no headset option)

There are many reasons to be unable to connect to your server.

1. Make sure you downloaded and installed the PS2 version of the dedicated server manager. It looks identical to the PC version.
   
   
2. Also make sure you downloaded and applied the v1.1 update. (optional but recommended)
   
   
3. Make sure the server manager is started with a shortcut that includes the "-ps2" command line switch. i.e. "swbf2sm.exe -ps2"
   
   
4. Confirm this by making sure the server manager displays "PS2" in the status bar at the bottom and not "PC"
   
   
5. Also confirm this is version 1.1 by looking at the title bar. You should see v1.10.
   
   
6. I recommend testing the server on a LAN prior to attempting an internet connection. On the Server page set the server type to "LAN".
   
   
7. Make sure you have the correct local IP address entered. You can find you IP address by opening a command prompt window and typing IPCONFIG.
   
   
8. Make sure the server is running. Once you hit the Start button you should see a rather plain looking white window with the name of the server in it and the current status. The status bar at the bottom should also say "Started". You can also push the LOG button and view the log file to confirm the server has started.
   
   

You should now be able to connect to the server using the LAN option in SWBF2 on your PS2. If this is not working I see no point in going further. You have a network issue that needs to be resolved.

When you are ready to connect via the internet you may have to open some ports on your router. UDP 3658, TCP 27900 and TCP 29920. The directions for port forwarding vary with each router and I'm not able to help you there. Google you router make and model and look for instructions on "port forwarding" or contact your internet provider or better yet make friends with a computer geek.

Refer to page 6 of the server manager users guide for more information on which ports to open for GameSpy and additional ports for the remote manager.

Thanks. The problem was that I had the pc server. I know, rookie mistake (even though I am one) lol

Sorry if I'm annoying.. I can't load my mods onto the server. I finished modding the files but now they won't appear on the game, it's just the regular maps. Any help?
