roninmd 0 Posted November 15, 2001 Having tried to play OFP online for several nights now I have drawn some conclusions. (!) I use OFP 1.3 / GameSPY Arcade 1. Many ppl simply do not know what to do. At All! 2. Many ppl do not know how to use the # server commands. 3. Even when they overcome these problems eventually there is still considerable difficulty getting into a game. 4. I witness a great deal of "Lets go and screw the newbies" when a server is full or someone cant connect because of reasons 1-3. The newbies of today are the vets of tommorrow. I propose a standard method of posting servers on the net (GameSPY etc.): DEDSRVR XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:PPPP VER TT [VW] [PSW] * [] denotes optional where DEDSRVR = Server Name XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX = IP Address for direct connection PPPP = Port Number if non-default VER = Upgrade/Server Version running TT = Turnover Time (Mins). Max time a player will have to wait for a new game to start. VW = Visitors Welcome. Not a clan/squad server etc. PSW = Password Required to join. This information would remove much frustration for many newcomers (like me too!) and make OFP a better community to visit. It's just a workaround for the very basic structure of OFP server joining. Further suggestions/refinements welcome. Lets do something though ;-) roninmd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
