Phantom Six 25 Posted November 29, 2012 Ahh, I only have 1.99 and I got it off of steam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anguis 4 Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Hi, Phantom Six - yes, it's 1.96, Linux server (WGL). WGL server is down for the time being - upgrading some hardware (adding hard drive, maybe more memory). Edit: up and running Edited December 2, 2012 by Anguis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom Six 25 Posted December 2, 2012 Is there a way for me to downpatch to 1.96 if I have the steam version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anguis 4 Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) Sorry, Phantom Six, I do not think you can. Basically, 1.96 involves Codemasters. 1.99 does not. Bohemia won't be going back down that route. I use Linux b/c it's easier to keep things up to date, legally, than with Windows in the Craigslist-Frankenstein computers I put together over time. If I end up with a Windows machine that I can update legally (probably this one I'm using now, if I build a more up-to-date machine), I might get a 1.99 server going. As it is, for multiplayer, I think you're doing fine if you're playing with CiA. Their games are A LOT more regular than what we have over here (although, when we do get something going here, it's fun, too) and they're the ones who really got me hooked on this game. Additionally, if you're okay with single player, grab FDF for your 1.99 setup. It's a lot of fun and I'm not sure A2 has something like it, yet (correct me if I'm wrong, guys; Tonal's fun, too). Alternatively, if it's still affordable (though, understandably, frustrating), grab 1.96 from Amazon. I bought GOTY copies for friends and family a few years back for about $12 for each copy. Today, I see it ranging from $0.01 to ~$5. Edited December 3, 2012 by Anguis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Overlord 0 Posted December 4, 2012 Even if there is a FDF mod for A2, it's only some new units, not a total makeover of the game as OFP was. The A2 mod which do the same to A2 as FDF did for OFP must be CWR2. Funny how nostalgic old-timers can get :blush: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Overlord 0 Posted February 9, 2013 Hi Ang Do you update your backup server with new addons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anguis 4 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Hi, OL, just saw your note (if you've sent PMs, let me know - box might be full, I need to clean it out). I haven't worked on updates in a while - the backup should be current, as far as I know. Also, would you PM me the password to your A2 server?

zulu1 145 Posted April 17, 2013 Sounds good to me! Keep your eyes open. . . Would be nice to get this going again. In the meantime we're still holding coop sessions on my VetSquad server Friday and Saturday nights (US time zone) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anguis 4 Posted April 20, 2013 Viking's getting OFP reinstalled (new computer, I think). When would be a good time to play? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anguis 4 Posted May 1, 2013 Hi, folks, I set up a test CWA TacOps WGL server. It's running in Windows 8 - I can't figure out how to get mods to work in WINE, yet (I will, though, and try to have it run through WINE in the future). I can see and play on it, locally. Can any of you see it? Thanks, Anguis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icarus 12 Posted May 2, 2013 Hello Anguis, I unfortunatelly cannot see your CWA TacOps WGL server :( Neither through OFPMonitor, neither through ingame multiplayer browser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anguis 4 Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks, Icarus. I'll have to figure something else out. I have UDP ports 2302 and 2303 forwarded. Might need a few more and maybe something else to get it to work. You CWA guys, I would have worked on this a lot earlier, but, when 1.99 was released, I had thought a Linux server release was imminent. As time went by, inertia kept things the way they have been. Anyone who can provide advice on this, I'm all ears! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zulu1 145 Posted May 3, 2013 Hey Anguis, Try this: Application: OFP External port: 2234 Internal port: 2234 Protocol: TCP/UDP Application: OFP1 External port: 2235 Internal port: 2235 Protocol: TCP/UDP Application: OFP11 Port range: 2300 - 2400 Protocol: TCP/UDP This type of setup made me visisble on everything.

anguis 4 Posted May 3, 2013 Thanks, man! I'll give it a go. One problem I did run into, though - the router admin system won't let me do port ranges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zulu1 145 Posted May 3, 2013 You need the full range. OFP uses port+1 which means if you use 2302, then you need 2303 also. 2234 & 2235 I think is what made me showup on ofp monitor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anguis 4 Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) Hi, folks! Sorry it's been a long time since I've said, "Hello!" I had had some trouble with the BIStudio Profile account transition earlier this year and didn't take the time to sort it all out until this morning. Hopefully, things are set well, now. I'll have the server back up in a bit (edit - it's up, if you're interested, let me know whether or not you can see it, thanks). I hope you all have been well. Catch you all, later!

Revan9190 132 Posted December 14, 2013 We should play another game sometime, Anguis! I have to say work has been making it difficult, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anguis 4 Posted December 17, 2013 Hi, Revan! Yeah, we need to get one going. I've been away from gaming for a while - it'll be nice to get in a little bit, here and there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marto 13 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Hey guys - does this photo remind you of playing those multiplayer OFP missions, regrouping in disarray in a forest after hitting a target, with enemy in hot pursuit, conducting flanking maneuvers on our position: Edited February 17, 2014 by Marto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
