Ecp released!

[RED 0]

So, no help from the ECP team? Well that's a bust. I guess I "Just got lost in the shuffle"?

Download the development .cpp + .bin files, use the .bin file in the bin directory. If this doesn't work I don't have a clue what is wrong (assuming you have all the dynamic range addons, main DR addon, and ECP DR 1 - 3)

Can I get a reply plz.

I just got ECP, and its great, but now I got a question. Can you use botht he sound plug in and the 3D weapons plug in at the same time. Both are a config file which end up replacing each other, now how can u combine them.

so is anything going to be done about the invincible burning soldiers that still shoot back at you?

They can be killed at the moment, removing their weapons is proving to be a problem though.

As RED said, you should be able to kill them, but i don't think it would be realistic to also remove their guns? Ok maybee let them behave like idiots, but with guns i guess, it makes no sense for someone who already has a gun to drop it right?

If I was on fire I doubt I would care about shooting the enemy

I just want to know if its normal to get no "working lighthouse" on any BIS island ?

P.S. I know sometime I have stupid question

[MSpencer 0]

Downloading the updated ECP Installer for DR. That may fix it.

EDIT: Satchels are silenced now? So are 3/4 of all RPGs? Something in the config is definitely bugged.

It's a known bug that not all lighthouses work, this will be fixed should be fixed in one of the latest dev version, so it will be in the new release, set somewhere next week.

However it is not normal that none of the lighthouses work.

Red, can you look into the config error in DR? I know it's a config error, because before 1.057, it worked perfectly. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS! It's what makes ECP REALLY great!

Sounds missing that I know of:

Some AT weapons

Some AT weapon impacts

Satchels

Mostly explosions.

If you want to test the latest version, please email me (morpj97@hn.ozemail.com.au) or send me a private message. Only contact me if you are serious about this and are happy to spend some time putting ECP through it's paces. MP beta testing is a priority

The version snypir is talking about is still a dev version, so the installer package still contains 1.057, if u want the latest version u can always find it in the dev section.

[benu 1]

Since 1.95 i can't start ecp on the dedi anymore, it just segfaults. I tried the 1057 version (which worked fine with 194) and the 1065. Anyone else having this problem?

[Acecombat 0]

Well i can play SP on 1.95 ok.

Hmm...odd... linux 1.95 + ECP/DR 1.065 starts fine here (the Zeus server machine, SLES8+SP3, basically). config.cpp and resource.cpp copied from @ecp/bin to the base ofp server dir as per normal.

[Acecombat 0]

Well i just tried the newest version of ECP and its friggin awesome , it has now less LAG now i can bitchless and play more

It works fine using the normal 1.95 and -server. Are you talking about the seperate dedicated executable?

Guys - just to repeat - the next release is not out yet. We are doing an internal beta test before public release. If you want to help out plz email me.
