Can someone from BIS tell me if I need to reinstall flashpoint from scratch again to patch to 1.46? I realize others may patch over 1.45, but I remember problems coming out of that in previous patch releases... I see that the requirements for 1.46 is 1.30, so do I need to completely uninstall and reinstall the entire game just to patch it again? Also, it IS a bit of a pain in the ass to haul in my cd so I can patch the ded server, once for the patch, and once for the ded server. Is the new netcode in june going to be a true dedicated server, or is it still going to be essentially an entire OFP mini game without the cd check and UI?

damn, now I have that Jonny Cash song stuck in my head

Bah, disreguard, found my answer

You COULD run OFP on linux with WINE, but why bother at that point? You would be effectively running windows inside linux, so performance would take a massive hit. Like they said earlier though, there will be no such thing as a "port" becasue the MP code is based on directplay, a microsoft standard. there is no equivelant in Linux, so no port CAN be made. On the brighter side though, there has been word of new netcode to be released in june, so maybe it will be based on something more flexible.

I'm pretty sure Fraghaus still has a dedicated coop server, though last time I looked it was empty....

nevermind, it's posted for d-load now...mods, feel free to delete this.

Great! What happens in a few months? I can't find the post by BIS that says they will be released in a few months, can you point me in the right direction?

sorry damn slang.. Shit out of luck.. hmm...doesn't make much sense once it's typed out like that, but there ya go

yeah, I probably shouldnt have mentioned it in public, now everyone is going to be using this undetectable cheat :-(

hehe, yeah, it IS fun to get the script kiddies all riled up and then tell em " go ahead, do your worst! In fact, I'll even give you my IP! 127.0.0.1! come get some!!!!" Every once in awhile you can get someone with that. That and the infamous superlife cheat in OFP that few know about.... All you have to do is hit alt-f4, and you can't die! muhahahaha

I agree with CampKiller... They NEVER should have told us it would be released to ALL who wanted it on 'x' date. Then at the last second pull the plug. Ive been building models for several EA and ID games for over 4years now. Last year I cooled my engines and basically stopped modelling because I really could'nt find a game out there that turned me on. I even shut down 2 websites, one of which carried over 100 car models for SCGT... I just got bored with it all. Then I discovered OFP... that was about 3mos. ago... Since then Ive spent atleast 4hrs. a day working on models in 3ds. just for OFP and the anticipated release of Oxygen (as PROMISED mind you.) and now I feel as tho this has all be a HUGE waste of time... why? 1) Im not building a "MoD"!!!!!!... just a few cool addon's 2) Im not a professional modeller- I like to come and go as the wind blows. I don't need a job a BiS. 3) Im new to the OFP community... and don't have my nose buried up anyone's arse here.... yet:) So in a phrase.. "The odds of someone like me getting Oxygen are laughable at best." This is not what we were told... this why so many are angry. Good thing it was not a bone you were offering my dog... MEDIC! I guess I can go pull my web-site down now eh? But am I really suprised? NO! I've been a portfolio manager for 7 years now. I had a sneaky feeling this would happen. The real story is right here: Currently, a Betaversion is ready to be released for non-commercial projects only and subject of written agreement between Bohemia Interactive Studio and anyone interested in using the tools. Plain and simple... BIS is looking around and seeing these MoD's ppl are prepairing, they realize the $ potential of these MoD as an addon CD. You (BIS) get these ppl to sign an agreement, profit shareing/whatever... you give them Oxygen they create the MoD... you (BIS) have to do nothing but market the MoD when it's finished and reap the profits. Think about it if you were BIS you would do the same thing... The only reason they told us (strung us along) last month they were going to release Oxygen... is that several of the good MoD creaters at the time were pulling the plug on there project because BIS would not say when or if they were going to release Oxygen.... Soon as the letter came out mentioning the end or Feb...... whooosh all the sudden everyone was full steam ahead again. What really yanks my chain is there dishonesty. The truth is what I have said above.... but BIS would like to you believe it's all for the good of the community not to release it thereby keeping crappy MoD out of the box... (as if there are not ANY foalting around out there now...lol) Jesus H. Christ that is SO... lame... your right BIS... I have been using computers since 1992 and I still have'nt figured out what the hell that DELETE key is for... P.S. ...they are also scared someone will try and sell there MoD, of course they could easily sue... but why go thru all that when all you need to do it not pass out the big O.<span id='postcolor'> I was paging through all the posts, ready to put my 2c in, but now I don't have to. This is EXACTLY how I feel. Great post!

From what I gather, you're SOL. Were spiffing up our addon proposal site before we go whine and beg for the tools, but I really have no idea how many folks will get them. I think a decent list for criteria, or a requrements page would be a good help though....

Yeah, it looks like more polishing is going to need to be done on the existing hack tools out there, for models AND islands...

....And what's so bad about talking Veggies?

Maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking this might be better suited to the Squad forum....

I've had very good luck using both Limewire, and Gnucleus. Though they both use the gnutella network, each has it's strong points.

the item you want it an entry in your server config file. just add hostname = "yourservernamehere"; to the cfg file

About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that when i walked past one of my users' cubes, he was always madly tring to minimize a bunch of windows when he saw someone coming, so I suck up one time and saw him playing solitaire. So, the next morning, I logged into his computer as admin, and edited his shortcut to solitair to steer to mailto:[email protected]&subject=Why I like playing games at work instead. Granted, he would have had to hit send to complete the process, but I haven't seen him playing since

There, cleaner than a....WTF! When I was in the Air Force, we had a cleaner we called Trich, mainly becasue it was easier than saying Trichloroethylene Anyhoo, we used this for general degreasing of small parts, mainly electronic connectors, as it almost immediately removed any water or grease from contacts. Truely great stuff, yes, at least till the EPA told us we couldn't use it anymore, but that's a different story. One day an avionics troop was on the flightdeck, and after installing an ADI, saw that there was alot of dirt and smudges on many of the instruments, so he decided to clean em up. Since Trich evaporates VERY quickly, he used a rag, and pretty much saturated it, then quickly rubbed it over all the instruments he could reach before it all evaporated. To his horror, not only did the trich remove that dirt he was so worried about, it removed ALL of the lettering, markings and lines that were painted on the instruments. So, the rest of the day was spent installing new instruments and OPschecking them ALL before it's next flight, not fun :-)

Isn't that a bit large? I mean, I thought pinhole cameras were all the rage these days... I think I'd notice a book with a 3 inch hole drilled in the spine...

They don't have one of these though.

Say you want your home-brewed novel you have been working on to be publicly available. Well, these are the programs you can use to share it out. Of course, there is a certain riff-raff that insists on meddling with my literature sharing program by cluttering things up with .mp3's and the like, but what can I do?

Umm, A little help here? One time myself, and a couple other flightline workers were changing out a 20 man liferaft which is stowed in a compartment on top of the wing root on a C-141b. This liferaft is deployed by pulling a handle from inside the aircraft, which pulls on a cable connected to the rafts inflation mechanism. Anyhoo, we were all up on the wing with the cover off the compartment, and the next step is to reach under and disconnect the cable. Want to guess what happened, and who was supposed to be disconnecting it? Well, as soon as we heard that loud hissing noise, we all turned tail and ran down the wing to get away. In the 3-5 seconds it took to run down the wing and turn around, we had a bright orange 20 man liferaft fully inflated and ready to use on top of an aircraft parked on the ground in the middle of Oklahoma. The real fun part came when we had to call the line supervisor to the aircraft to deal with somehow transporting it back to the lifesupport shop for repacking and reinspection. It goes without saying that I was extremely careful when changing them from then on
