I don't know what to make of this, I have no idea WHY this happens. I have done manual cleans, I have changed sides, I have done everything I can think of to fix this and still NOTHING works.

Okay, so on the Death Star, using a script that I modified to use my custom sides with, it appears that the attacking team, whenever one soldier is killed, the reinforcements go down by two. This makes it very difficult for the attacking team to win the battle. The kicker is that when the reinforcement count goes to zero, there are still about 10 units of the team left on the field! Thats right! Maybe even more!

I'll post the lua script, since I know that's what you experts want.
Can somebody help me? I'm afraid to even make another new era to take place on this map just because of this glitch!

EDIT: Gosh darn it, I did it again! Can somebody move this to the modding forum?

You do realize that this problem already exists with the stock script, right? Just remove the following line:

Question: Does anyone know why that was even there? Some kind of test they forgot to fix?

pandemic added it on purpose. because the deatchstar has an uneven layout that gives the defenders a disadvatage, they added the double reincforcementloss for the attacker to balance it out if i remember right.

All the maps in the game are slightly uneven, which is fine. This is likely left in there as a mistake from when they were writing conquest mode - as a balancing method this is a particularly bad choice, and more playtesting would have revealed this. I have to believe that no one sat down and said "this would be the best way to make things fair for both teams."

They probably didn't want to make it fair, a small rebel army vs a whole space station should be very hard...

I was told that the Death Star was the last map made for BF2, it was graphically done well, but the balance was bad and they had the least amount of time to test it compared to the other maps. It is a good MP map, but I never play it SP.

And I was told that Lucasarts was giving away free money near the release date of SWBF2, but unless I provide a source, no one is going to believe me =p

Anyway, I've noticed this since before I joined GT.
STORY TIME! Anyway, is there a mod already out there that fixes it permanently for the stock game?

If you look at the loadscreens for the Death Star, some of them still have the green CPs in them, which most likely means they had the map done in the earlier stages of the game's development.

Yes, but you won't be able to play online with others who don't have it, of course. (Click)

I just played through the map again, it's almost impossible to win, I think I'll change that in my mod...

Not to mention the trailer with the old rebel setup with the pilot. I must have gotten it mixed up, it was not the Death Star, I forget which map it was that was developed last. Anyway, I get to walk away in shame, again

Sometimes I wonder why I bother. And TW, that was uncalled for.

i just wanted to point out that the death star is a bit glitchy sometimes with things like that.

i was on my dedicated and the ai was at max and i was empire with a few of my friends (a few were rebel) the battle was insane. the rebel reinforcements went from 0 to 1000+ at least 3 times untill we got all of the cps for the empire and won, our reinforcements didn't go down to 0 at all, if i recall right we had at least 400+ reinforcements at the end. that was kinda weird.

Yeah, so anyway, I kinda realized how to fix the problem immediately after posting this topic, so I felt like a total moron for not catching it earlier. Thanks for the help, guys!

Although, if you want my opinion, I think they put that there to troll us.


...Clever. Very clever.

There's a fix for it on swbffiles.com, in case you're wondering:

@FighterRex: Xavious had already linked to it in this same exact topic (http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 18#p450118). You should really learn to read posts over more carefully to avoid the reposting of information.
