Server Suggestion: XL Maps

[{MNC}Undercover]

I've grown up on the PS2 SWBF2, but it's become just about dead(30 max players daily)

From playing the PC version for about 4 months, it's notable that SWGO's servers are the most active, and have the best connections for all players.

My suggestion is hosting XL maps.

For those who didn't play offline modes, it's on 3 conquest maps but you work to earn a score a if you're playing Assault modes.
And it dumps oodles of AI's(40+ per side)

I know XL maps are not listed in the server manager interface, but they can still be activated, they do exist in the mission.lvl script.

To activate the maps(if admins want to take the suggestion)

Edit your player menu configuration file and add this:

Add Maps>Geonosis XL"/admin /addmap geo1c_xl"|cmd
Add Maps>Hoth XL"/admin /addmap hot1g_xl"|cmd
Add Maps>Kashyyyk XL"/admin /addmap kas2g_xl"|cmd

Or instead of adding them in rotation, change them in real time with:

Change Maps>Geonosis XL"/admin /changemap geo1c_xl"|cmd
Change Maps>Hoth XL"/admin /changemap hot1g_xl"|cmd
Change Maps>Kashyyyk XL"/admin /changemap kas2g_xl"|cmd

You can also login to a server manager from in the game and activate those commands.

The maps will successfully work, I've used it myself on my own server manager.

The only warning will be the high risk of crashes.. 32+ humans and 40+ bots per team may not end well. There is no console command for XL AI limit or score limit.

Thanks for reading.

No. It does not sound stable enough for the capacity of players we experience. I on the other hand.. might try it on my server just for kicks, locked server so not too many chumps come in.


Tell me those are not the only maps available.

That's funny, you said SWGO servers have the best connection.

SWGO servers are in a shared colo, so we share the servers with other customers. Not nearly as good of a connection or lack of lag as an entire server dedicated.

I have to agree with Mawk on that one, the more players, the later in the day and the lag increases a lot. Warping/Sliding, hits not registering (saber/force), extra combos appearing indicates lag.

For me, the SWGO servers are at the top of the ping list, and I was trying to compliment the servers...

We already have something similar to XL its just more units (300 or more), not different rules.

Maybe a mod to apply it to other maps????

XL is possible on every default bf2 map. search starwarsbattlefront.filefront.com for a +123 mod (not mine)

the creator jammed every game mode on all maps(1 flag in polis, etc...)

Yeah, I know, it's super necro but is this the mod that also allows you to play as acklay and gamorreans
