SWBF2 Dedicated Server Patch V1.5
- This is only meant for people that run dedicated servers

This new patch fixes an issue with certain player names that mess-up RM. I've tested it, but let me know if you have any problems.
Edit: Increased ban limit size by request (now 960)

Installation instructions
-----------

To install: (You will need FTP access to your server's directory)
-Stop your server
-Go to the swbf2 server's main directory and delete BattlefrontII.exe.
-Upload the included BattlefrontII.exe
-Start your server.

*If you don't have permission to delete the current BattlefrontII.exe, you will have to contact your server provider and ask them to change the file for you. Be sure to include a download link to this zip file.

**If you're running a server from your own computer, simply replace the BattlefrontII.exe in your server directory.

I'm old. Can you give specific instructions? Is it best to open with word pad, and where should the data be placed? RM file I assume?
Also, why is this in open forum area vs Server support? Thanks

You only need this if your running your own server. So you don't even need to worry about it, WD.

And I purposely put it in the open forums, by the way... It's just like my other patches, that every server is currently running. My old patch (v1.4) is open for everyone to use, and so is this one.

I need to submit a support ticket for HA, and Matt needs to send one for JBA/NYC.

Bryant,

I assume you have the ability to contact Matt about this?

Also -- Is there a reason that you didn't delete the shadow topic that was left in the public forum?

Actually, I don't have a reasonable way to get in contact with Matt. I'm guessing Son moved it, but can we get it moved back...

If you wanna make the patch open for public use I can make it global? Tomorrow I can text Matt and send him an email with the link so that he can get things rolling if he wants to. I don't feel right texting today.

Great, now I need 800 more CD keys or to mod my game so the ban disconnect packet doesn't get received. Thanks a lot, Bryant. Jeez, the nerve of some people.

Oops. Like WD I thought it was supposed to be in the server support. Just go ahead and take $50 off my pay. :roll:
