    great

    *stops worrying*

    these are the best looking units i've ever seen for flashpoint, its just bloody fantastic there will be a set of SAS blokes released. I love the UKF stuff, but as of yet no SAS blokes released!!

    Would love to see some jungle and 95' pattern SAS blokes out there.

    On a slightly different note, although related .. if anyone knows there i can get some decent english camo faces please let me know .... desperately looking ..................

    great looking units, cant wait to get me hands on em.

    regarding the naming, i dont think it will be too much of an issue for anyone, everyone just seems to want them. However the way you have in your post seems fine to me.

    the bergens, are they useable? for example can u put stuff in them and can you drop the bergen. I know it was talked about in the previous posts, but not sure what finally happened.

    great work BB

    Quote[/b] ]I just run the OFP_Server.exe file, I keep it on and start the game

    if u have downloaded the basic 1.96 server and are running it without making a shortcut, then it will not be loading a config file

    make a shortcut adding this to the target line (found under properties) -config=sample.cfg

    this also applys on a dedicated server and needs to be done in the .bat file.

    thanks for response killswitch

    those four lines come from what i presume is something to do with the server restart function i have? its a file called ofpserverrestart

    we do use alot of addons, detecting which one might cause the problem sounds like a lengthly process. i have told the server company what you think the problem is, hopefully they will be able to sort it from here.........

    Quote[/b] ]Also, is "ftp access" the only kind of access you have to the server? If so, how or what issues the "batch" command ofpstart?. Have the hoster automated that somehow or are you not giving me all the details?

    dont know if i understand what ur getting at really, but the only access to the server i know that i have is through ftp and we can restart the server using a webpage.

    i'm not sure but this file looks like it might be involved?

    regarding the write access i'll ask the host company

    the reason i ask about windows server is coz we have run into problems using addons with the server too, we often have to open a missions .sqm file and define them before the server will accept it, and i understand from another post that this is a linux only issue.

    building my own server is appealing, but i dont know if i could manage it, this all seems a little over my head. We pay Å40 for our server at the moment, and although the lag is there, most maps are playable with upto 16 players, the really annoying thing is the random restarts. However if renting 'shelf space' wasnt overly priced, we'd be interested in learning more, know of anywhere offering such a service?

    cheers

    ok first off, i have ftp access to the flashpoint server, do u want me to post the file here so u can take a look?

    how would i know what has write access?

    would running the server on a windows based server help any?

    lastly, we are only a small clan and want hosting for 16 - 32 players, what spec of server would u recommend?

  12. Posted

    and if u want realism

    22 SAS Regiment

    Scripted AI no longer do they stand doing nothing, they can hear, react and interact!

    Bergens that actually carry weaponry, but have litmits too.

    Stamina no longer can one man run the length of the island without breaking a sweat

    We have simple rank structure, are not regimented (no salutes), train hard, play lots ......... also no respawn

    hi

    i am renting a server and the server is laggy at times, the server company says

    Quote[/b] ]It restarts totally randomly, but the problem is it doesnt kill the previous process, which eventually causes it to loop due to the port being in use.

    this is an output it produces

    <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">WATCHDOG (5875): [Thu May 5 11:20:01 BST 2005] Server shutdown intentional, watchdog terminating

    what does this mean? and can it be fixed?

    please help

    this script is great, i have used it in SP lots and it makes for a much better mission. I am trying to get it working in MP, it works to an extent, but only shows the stamina and skill of other members of your squad, but does work for all players including the leader of the group.

    Is there some way someone could make this work for a single unit? i would like it to simply do exactly the same thing, but also the addition of when the stamina is right down it slowly reduces the health of the player, and it would then detect when the player is stopped and / or sitting down and then slowly recover the stamina, but not the health. Is this possible???

    Thanks for help in advance .....

    thanks for reply

    yeh both server and client are using same version of UK forces addons and the mission i am trying to test them with is basicly one man (uk forces) placed on desert island map with nothing else.

    the path to the XML iin ofp profile is exactly as written in first post. This should work as far as i know, but doesnt. Definatly no spaces before or after either.

    any other thoughts?

    cheers

    hiya

    we are renting a server from inx-gaming.co.uk which is great, but they are new to hosting flashpoint and we are new to linux servers.

    What we would like is to use the @ECP mod and a few other addons which are in use within our clan.

    We want to use the UK forces infantry and CoC artillery. We have got it so that we can play normal resistance and coldwar missions, and the server shows and requires @ECP.

    @ECP works and produces the spectating script on death, but the UK forces addons dont seem to be working, whenever we load a mission using these addons, it automatically sends us back to the mission selection screen.

    I have tried copying over the UK forces addons to the res folder on the server and ensuring they are all lower case, still nothing ... ..

    any ideas??

    Also our xml isnt working ingame

    not sure why

    the link is

    here

    thanks for your help in advance
