Shooter Article condition: Again View Item Specifics in local LANGUAGE. STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT MISSION LUGGAGE! 40 new maps missions!!! UNIQUELY!!! Offer here a collection to almost everything at present with the German version functioning Modkarten for star Wars Battlefront 1,2! You can do thereby without long Sucherei in the net and without eternally long Downloadzeiten (the collection is unkomprimiert large over 1000 MT!) your play with the 16 past maps in the Soforteinsatz over approx.. 40 (!) new maps missions supplement. You can do now additional battles with new maps on Hoth (giant battles!), Endor, Genosis, Bespin, Kashyyk (in the Wookieland highly in the trees!), Naboo (with giant battle from episode 1!), Tatooine (among other things the impressive battle in the Jundland ravines!) and Yavin strike. Participate also completely new planets and cities like Taspir (volcanos!), Cato Neimodia, the death star, Dantooine, Dathomir, Rancors Lair (monster!), Abridon, various rebel outguards and KUS research establishments and much other more! In addition know its for the first time also Tusken, Genosianer, Gamorreaner among other things play (with the Bountyhunters missions)! Since the maps are partly better than the originals from the play bring an enormous amount fun and alternation! The installation is very simple, description attaches I on that CD. Patch 1,2 must be installed, I supplies with it on that to CD with the inclusive official new map "Jabbas palace". Then files from that CD into the following file unpack: C:/Programme/LucasArts/Star Wars Battlefront/Game DATA/ADD on I does not provide those WIN RSR unpacking software on that CD, for the case it has. In the end still this: Since this is a private sales, I know neither warranty nor return right to grant, already not at all for of other developed software, who along-offers, accepts this. The maps are not officially licenced by the manufacturer of the original play (like always with Mods). My achievement insists only in the Downloaden, arranging, burning and dispatching of the software on CD. I individually tested however all programs on operability and viruses, it might therefore no problems give! And now much fun when offering! Pluses: * unlimited play passport by 40 new maps missions with new star Wars worlds and new parliamentary groups * Patch 1,2 provided * WIN RSR compression software provided * No long Sucherei and expensive Runterladezeit in the net



It looks like a redistibution Job. I say we email him or 'ask a question' and tell him to put credits in. . .and of course a gametoast link.

I also think he called the planet that Gusters REasearch Centre is on 'GUS REASEARCH CENTRE' lol.

Q: Is this the same Battlfront (game) i can get in local stores? Please reply at XXX. Buy jona
A: This contains additions to the original game. You need to have the game installed.

One thing more:
In his auction he didn´t claim to get money for the maps but for downloading and burning them onto CDr

Hmmm, i think he should have asked. He is making money of people like Rends, Bandu, Eddie, and some other mapper, and thats just wrong.

This CD Rom may fall under the Downloadable media or compilation & Informational sections in the disallowed section of ebay. I recomend that map makers report this item to ebay so that it could hopefully be stopped or at least have some sort of disclaimer saying that you can download these maps for free. Check out what counts as a disallowed item and then send ebay your disapproval via:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/contact_us/_base/index.html

hm, no he doesn´t claim that he made them or that we made them for him.
In his discription he says:
"...Meine Leistung besteht lediglich im Downloaden, Zusammenstellen, Brennen und Versenden der Software auf CD. "
"...My contributions limits to download the files put them together burns them on a CD and shipping..."

Ive already contacted ebay they are looking into this. NO one gave permission for selling their works so its intellectual property violation as well as distributing freeware/copyrighted material for profit regarldess of cost of cdr. We shall see what happens.

All hail Guru. I hope he gets a HUGE fine for doing that :) If he didn't sell them, just asked for what the CDs/Shipping was worth i wouldn't mind. But selling it for such a high price heck no.

I have found out that Filefront is no longer making CD's with whatever you want (but can't download), but why, I don't know!!

I stil think that we can't do anything about it because he is charging for the services of the burning and downloading. He can use my maps he has, and I don't really care, as long as he isn't taking any credit for our painstaking work!

One request though!! Give us at least some Diet Dr. Pepper credit in a readme commenting who made what maps! I don't want people thinking something like "oh Cato Neimodia, Thats Rends map!

Our collective wills will force choke him. Jk, hopefully he'll get banned from ebay. I'd keep an eye out though, he might just get a new screen name. Btw, how did you find this?
