Hi I'm Master_DS I have an introduction for myself but I'm going to save that for another topic. I had a quick question about Star Wars Battlefront II PC Dedicated Servers. I know that the PC Battlefront II Community has made 100s of Mods, and Maps for Star Wars Battlefront II. My Question is: How do you play mods, and maps in online play? I got a PC Dedicated Server Version 1.1, and I've been trying to figure out where to place the the mods and new maps in the server files in order to host and play them online. So far the Server hasn't recognized any of the Mods, and maps I've tried. I have some experience hosting Mods online on the PS2 Version. So I was trying to use what I know. But anyway I must be missing something. So how is it done? Thanks.

Did you put the map the addon folder in the Dedicated server folder (you have to make it )
and for mods the same thing just delete the sounds folder

I'm trying to run the DARK TIMES, and the Conversion pack with the recent updates. Although I keep running into problems. Some maps work fine, others have made the Server crash no sooner then I pick them. One of my friends also said that they couldn't get in because they didn't have the map. I'm think that in order to run the Dark Times and the Conversion pack in all there glory you'd need a professional Server I'm sure. That's what I'm going for now. I'll be running my Server: {DSotM} DARKNESS Sunday 4/25/2010, and I could use some feed back on how the everthing runs. This is before I order the Professional Server.

I found out that in order for a Player to play online in a Server with a Map or Mod, The player must themselves have the Map or mod installed on there game. Anyway this was something that I didn't know I thought that the Server would just give out all the information the player needed. Here are all of the Mods and Maps that are presently running on the Test Server I have. I'd think that most Battlefront II PC Players have most of these Mods and maps installed on there games.
Mods
Star Wars Battlefront Conversion Pack (2.0)

Are you using the dedicated server that is from Lucasarts or are you using the BlackOps one?
BlackOps has a better interface. But I assume you must be since you can see the addon maps.
Another little tidbit that may help your server run better and not crash is the sound files aren't required in your servers addon directory map folders also, and I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, you don't need the ones from the mods that get installed in the normal data folder.
This is for the server folders only, you will still need them in your normal playing directories as will of course anyone who joins your server.
Hope that helps, good luck and maybe we'll see you online sometime.

Here is the finished Server:
Come play sometime. :maulsaber:
The Following Mods have been installed:
Star Wars Battlefront Conversion Pack (2.0)
http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.co ... Pack;94154
The Dark Times
http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.co ... imes;99177
Star Wars Battlefront Conversion Pack Patch (2.2)
http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.co ... atch;98307
Battlefront Extreme (2.2)
http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.co ... reme;96607
Mandalorian Wars Project (1.0)
http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.co ... ject;99987
Some of the maps seem to make the Server instantly crash. Does that problem just come with have the mods. Most of the Maps work fine, so I guess I'll have to take note of the bad maps. Is there anything I can do to make the bad maps play online.

Well.. maybe you are overdoing the amount of missions? The limit is 500..
