What does it tell you when you try to run it? Any original game will give an error if BF2_modtools.exe doesn't work.

Ah, you must have the DVD version. If so, the FAQ has a way to get that same BFront2.log. Check it. :thumbs:
Question: My map keeps crashing. What's wrong?

Answer: Could be lots of things. If you have the CD version, you can run BF2_modtools.exe, which produces a debug output called BFront2.log. Thanks to [RDH]Zerted, those with the DVD version can now get that same log. For information, visit this link:

Hopefully this doesn't come out wrong:

We won't do it for you. Once you set the web server up once it's easy to do from then on, and it's essential that you start learning things that way. So ask away on what you need to setup the server to get BFront2.log. Because once you have your log appearing you can debug any map that you have making life tons easier. But if we don't help you through this part you'll get stuck an untold amount of times. Trust me, you need to be able to look at that log constantly, so we need to set you up with the SWBF2 Server Manager so you can get one.

Now, where on setting the manager are you stuck exactly?

Well, fisrt of all, sorry

Then. I udapte my game to 1.1, and i install the v1.1 server manager.
Then, i create a Bat file but with wordpad. And in it there's this
Hidden/Spoiler:
C:
cd " C:\Archivos de Programa\Lucasarts\Star Wars Battlefront II PC Server"
BattlefrontII.exe /gamename "Testing Map" /win /norender /resolution 200 200 /autonet dedicated /playercount 1 /bots 15 C66g_con 400 400
That's my pc's swbf2 server location. Then i click to this file, and i select "open with" option. Then, i select the battlefront II thing (the one that is a ep3 soldier hemlet) and appears a FATAL window saying that couldn't open .lvl (Couldn't read C:\Archivos de programa\Lucasarts\Star wars battlefront II S.lvl)
<- It shows like this
And i dunno what to do.

Thanks for all guys

Bat files don't need to be opened by anything. They run by just double clicking. If that doesn't work, go START-->RUN-->Type cmd and hit enter. From there move to the directory with your server and run the bat file.

As long as you didn't associate bat files with SWBF2 you'll be fine. (if you didn't check that checkbox at the bottom when you picked SWBF2)

I don't have the DVD version, so I can't hold your hand through it, but if you followed the steps in the link, then you should have output a file named BFront2.log, that is what you need to post.

Create a new text document
Type the contents into it that you need:
Example:

Code: Select all

C: 
cd "C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II PC Server" 
BattlefrontII.exe /gamename "Testing Map" /win /norender /resolution 200 200 /autonet dedicated /playercount 1 /bots 15 TESc_con 400 400


Save it, close it, then rename the file yourname.bat or whatever, just make sure it has the .bat file extension.

And then you just double click to run it. You shouldn't have to associate it with any program. It should run natively in Windows. If it doesn't then your comp has either un-associated it or re-associated it with a different program.

Well, I just repeat you the same. I don't know how to create it.
I right-clik and i select "new". There's no batch file there, so i create a wordpad document.
Then if i double click it, it just opens and i can edit it. No runs.

Players: { } (0)

And nothing more.......
