I have compiled a simple config here http://www.brutalforce.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=254 Hope it is of interest.

having funded and maintained a dedicated server now for some time i thought i might comment on the LOG output and post my wish list. 1. a command line option to include players IP along with game ID when they join. 2. notification that the logged on admin used the password - as shown when in the game screen. 3. a command line option to have the log saved to disk. That's it

First looks are    Connection with xml settings are ok. If anyone wants to try my test rig with their xml then come over to 62.3.114.2 will be available until late tonight. Debian 3.0 (2.2.20 Kernel) OFPR 1.90f Linux beta (no addons, basic install) XP2200 1GB ADSL 512/256

Cheers Suma, I will upgrade and start testing this morning.

Suma did say "a fix is in the works" But I suggest all Linus DS admins follow Tracer_SS lead and lock your servers or you will never get a game off the ground.

hum, very quiet on this post. are BIS on holiday Suma/Maruk, could you just add a comment to this post PLEASE . Anything

I’ve done some further testing on the Linux 1.90 DS connection issue and found the following happens with different “Squad URL:†settings: Squad URL: = EMPTY – Connection OK Squad URL: = http://www.yoursquad.com/squadpage.xml - server stops responding Squad URL: = www.yoursquad.com/squadpage.xml - server stops responding Squad URL: = qwertyuiop (or any other nonsense text) – all server processes end and you get a “Segmentation fault†Hope this help with the beta program BIS Do you get these same errors? Let us know PLEASE

We don't have an answer yet Shrike , but I expect BIS are aware of the problem so a fix should be on the way.

yes, xml reference in player settings causes my server to halt for at least 10 minutes. I have tried the 1.90 on Mandrake 9.0 and Debian 3.0 distros and get same results. We need a fix or a config setting to prevent the processing of player xml info. BIS?

BIS, Could'nt find a PDF map of Nogova on the Resistance CD. Will there be one available soon? Thanks

Tactics go farther then simple hearing care to have a go. we're having a 2vs2 tourney very soon<span id='postcolor'> Mal. I am not trying to flame u m8, but your stories are so far fetched I had to reply. So what if you can hear ppl miles away, that’s possible and I wouldn’t consider it cheating or doubt you can do it. All I’m saying is that NO WAY can you drop someone with ONE shot at distances OVER one mile (1.61KM). 1. I’ve tried hitting targets with an AK at a mile + and found that I needed to aim well over the targets head and thereby completely obscuring the target with the sight post. I’m not sure how accurate bullet trajectory is reproduced in OFP – anyone? 2. To be able to see a target at 2 miles you would need the command "SetViewDistance 3200" added to the mission by the map maker to enable viewing at that distance. I don't care how good you think your pc is pal, that would cause all sorts of lag problems. The default view distance for all maps is about 900 meters. So, if you dropped me from a range of two miles I WOULD call you a CHEAT. I don't believe that is at all possible. If you did it with an AK at 800m I would praise your marksmanship. I too have a s**t hot games pc, but I can't be bothered to tell everyone the spec. Not that ppl really care. Have a nice day.

I’ve never heard so much BS in all my life. Malboeuf, this forum can always rely on you to keep us amused with your amazing talent and tales of greatness. Can you hear us all ROFL with you bionic ears?

Not sure if this is the right place, but here goes. Me and my fellow squad members like to play MP CTF and DM matches against other teams in ladders. In the past we have noticed slight differences in weapon layout and vehicle ammo when using the same (or so we think) map. Would it be possible, in a future release/upgrade, to include a mission checksum result on the side selection screen of the mission? This would prevent cheats making counterfeit copy missions with goodies on the map that only they know about.
