    I am looking for a company to host a server for some people I play with regularly. None of us have the connection to host our own, and finding a public server to hang on is getting harder and harder.

    So far I have only found one company that will do it, but they're in the UK (We would prefer US). Inx-gaming.co.uk . They offer a trial server but i've been waiting for over a week for it to get set up and they keep running me around.

    Does anyone know a reliable server hosting company? Money isn't the big issue, my main issue is I want a company with prompt service, someone I can go to with problems if I have any.

    This man has obviously not died from a stomach wound...sheesh.

    If you dont have the guts to do it, then you wouldn't critizise!

    (Yes, that was a clever pun, and yes this is a joke)

    Your website doesnt seem to like me at all, cant get it to load. If you are in need of a researcher/news guy, let me know. I am interested in all sorts of editing, but havent done much in the area yet.

    I beleive it was UT2kx that did this, but if you joined a server and it had a map you did not, the server config would point your game to the http and download it much faster and without having to burden the server with the load of hosting a game AND uploading maps to people.

    Could this work in terms of needed addons for ofp2?

    Many good servers have http sites set up where you can go to get the addons and whatnot required for play already, so I cant see how this would hinder anything.

    I always thought a spotter type plane would be really cool, for either just flying around in and using as a object for briefings or whathave you, or for spotting arty or enemy movements and relaying information to air groups, or even ground troops.

    The plane i'd love to see, I dont know the name, but if you've seen apocylapse now, before they napalm after the Wagnerian village raid, they call in to an arty spotter plane. (Propeller in the back, between twin tails).

    Would be nice to have a 2 person version for ofp, where the spotter had a better field of vision, maybe a bubble under the bottom or something? Not the most realistic, but it would counter the pilot not able to lean around in the cockpit and actually look at stuff.

    Could think of a few MP map ideas too, attacking team has one spotter plane, and the defenders dont have anti air. So the attackers know where the defenders are, unless the defenders are smart and use cover.

    If at all possible...don't biggrin.gif Try to engage from a distance, even the m16 can take a guy down in 5-6 shots at 200-300m.

    Advancing accross a coverless field is tantamount to suicide if you ask me.

    Dont know about ordering supressive fire, might be able to target > building and open fire.

    This sounds pretty bad, but I found a pirated copy to play, and loved it...till FADE kicked in, then i HAD to go buy it biggrin.gif I've since bought ofp twice, as my orig copy got obliterated in a bad cd-rom drive, and ill get res soon (been on a hiatus of sorts while at college, they block all udp connections, and multiplayer is where its at).

    You build a better mouse trap...and the world builds a better mouse.

    There will always be cheaters, and people who crack the game

    NO code is totally hack proof

    As the cheats become more widespread, there will be more cheaters, but in return people (and admins) will easier identify the cheats(ers) and ban them...then it will slow down, till another cheat pops up, and it goes around again

    the term LOD, what does it mean?

    I know i should prolly know it...but...

    i mean it makes sense in the context of tweaking options...but...in mod making?
