Server Update[/b]: Sadly, the server's down with hardware issues. Someday, she will rise, again! New IP Address: 76.17.156.93 (for both the OFP and TS2 servers) Coop Nights Date: Whenever we work something up, nowadays! Time: If we do get something going, it'll be around 10:00 p.m. CST (-6 CET) See below for additional info. ______ N.B. addons updated, see below for info. Hi, folks, I managed to get WGL running on my server and I'm opening it up to everyone. I'm new to this sort of thing. Questions and constructive advice about running a server would be appreciated. Right now, it runs WGL, but I might rotate in other mods/missions if I can figure out how to get them going. It won't likely be up 24/7. If it's down and you'd like to play, send a PM my way. I'll see what I can do. The name is a reference to an old paintball club. Here's the server info: Server name (as shown in GameSpy): TacOps WGL Mission count: 1681 TeamSpeak 2 Server: 76.17.156.93 No passwords, for now. Required mod folders/addons: @wgl5 (fully patched WGL 5.12, hat tip to Overlord) @wgltacopspart1 updated on 4/28/2011: now includes snYpir's SP/MP support pack addon @wgltacopspart2 Complete @wgltacops archive - includes both @wgltacopspart1 and @wgltacopspart2 (as of 04/28/2011) Thank you, Pulverizer! @wgltacops addons N.B. Those of you who are using '@ciawgl' and '@wglextras' see the update below. On that same download page, you will find the WGL Ryan and AT unit and weapons replacement mod-folder archives, respectively. 5.1_rep.rar is required for the AT installation, see the WGL51reprarinstallation.txt for instructions (see Walter's post, below). Instructions for getting the Ryan models working: WGL Models Base Instructions Additionally, Mr. Burns' AEC Islands replacement pack is there for download, as well. Make backups of your original files! If there is a mission you'd like included in the server (or, if there's one on there that needs to be fixed), let me know! Have fun! N.B. Inspired by the [CiA] and the University of Dallas Tactical Operations Club. ______ Coop Nights Date: Saturday nights Time: 10:00 p.m. CST (-6 CET) TS2 comms will be required. You won't need a mic - just need to be able to hear. Style of play: see the CiA Rules 4/26/2011 Addons update: @wgltacopspart1 is not equivalent to the old @wglextras (see below); @wgltacopspart2 contains the new addons, documentation, and island anim folders. - Consolidate the addons in a mod folder named '@wgltacops'. Remove @wglextras (do not rename it to @wgltacops - the earlier suggestion to do so was incorrect; it is ok to do so with a few addons replaced, see update, below). Thank you, Zulu1 and Marto! 4/27/2011 Addons update: I removed due to a note on the Zeus site - they were obsolete. If you already have them, go ahead and delete them. They have been removed from the server.4/29/2011 @ciawgl and @wglextras updated addons cf. Post #50 Copy the addons in the following archive to update @ciawgl and/or @wglextras for compatibility w/ the TacOps WGL server: wglextrasciawglupdate.zip This update will render the addons in @ciawgl and @wglextras equivalent to those in @wgltacopspart1. - added complete @wgltacops archive 05/11/2011: new IP address: 76.17.144.172 07/16/2011: new IP address: 76.17.140.188 08/25/2011: new IP address: 76.17.139.110 11/29/2011: new IP address: 76.17.154.205 07/12/2012: new IP address: 76.17.150.156 12/01/2013: new IP address: 76.17.156.93

Hello - thanks! I'll take a look. I'd like to get back into playing. I'll have to relearn a lot and catch up with a lot. I'm checking back in because I put together a new computer, intending it to primarily be an ACWA server. Hopefully, I can get it going.... Take care, y'all! Happy New Year!

Hi, folks! After some time away, I'm re-installing OFP, this time via Wine on an Ubuntu Mate laptop (older Core 2 Duo). I'm researching the current state of affairs regarding mods, a fun re-acquaintance with many concepts I've forgotten. It'd be helpful to get input on where things are, right now, and what mod(s) I should apply to vanilla OFP, nowadays, including 1.99 vs. 1.96 considerations. I'm pretty rusty... What do you all think?

Yup, looking at PR Mod, too - both WW4 and ECP versions.

Thanks! I saw those, earlier - I'll give them a try. Would they work with WW4? I'm seeing a few WW4 mentions/variants - I'm wondering what to go with of them.

No problem, man! CiA made me love OFP. Get in there, folks!

dang. Phone browser's behaving weirdly and I lost a big post I was finishing. Anyways, working on getting back into the flow of things. Now I know what Sanctuary felt like working on his last mod... :D Hi, Zulu! Hi, Overlord! Hi, daefte! Hi, Revan! Hi, Variable!

Hi, Marto! Good to hear from you! I just now got my account problem straightened out (I think) and figured I should check in. This post is, actually, a test to see whether or not my account is really as it used to be. I'm still eager and anxious to play, unfortunately, though, I've had to stay away for a good while that's left me out of touch with folks. Long story short - a house move and a motherbbord crash combined to limit my computing to my phone and an Ubuntu laptop. Slowly, things are moving out of storage and back to use (looking for my

Hi, folks! Sorry for not being around and responding to messages - I've had a problem with my forum account for several months and am still in the process of getting it straightened out with Support. These last two messages have come through Tapatalk - I decided to give that a try and have found that, through multiple phone changes/resets, Tapatalk has saved whatever works for me to sign in. Unfortunately, it won't reveal that info to me, other than my username. I'll be responding to PMs, shortly. Hopefully, Taptalk will work for those, too. A belated Happy New Year to you all, and an early Happy Passover and Easter!

Sounds like it could be interesting - would you provide resources, please?

Just a "Heads up!" - I finally have a new computer and am working my way through re-upping the server (starting with re-setting the Linux box, though I might just use this brand-spanking new W10 box...). Might try both OFP and CWA servers, we'll see. Sorry it's been so long, folks - I've missed ya. I have Arma2+OA (full versions) now, too, so I'm starting to fully learn that system (lots of stuff to re-learn, as well). Any of you who moved on to A2 - I'm playing catch-up, but I'd like to see you. To any CiA guys who might pass through - I'm looking at having A3 maybe next month. I'm looking forward to possibly getting in some games with you, too, of course! Overlord, Zulu, Marto, and Revan - y'all still around? Viking's game, too! Why do I stick with OFP? Amongst a slew of reasons, I never finished the damn game! And it's still incredibly atmospheric for me, especially snowy FDF nights... P.S. It looks like any messages I'd received from you in the last year have been deleted (not sure why BI didn't just drop the oldest ones...), so, I apologize if I've missed any from you.

@Capjerahya - I'm looking forward to seeing your project from your #1911 pics in the photo thread.

LOL - Right back at ya, OL!

I absolutely support this - hands down, my favorite game. (CWA Linux server....:rolleyes:)

Merry Christmas, y'all!!

I updated the first post a day or so ago - nope, unfortunately, it is not. My server is down with dead RAM and a weird wifi connectivity issue (I removed the antenna for some testing on another computer, didn't detect the networks correctly when I plugged it back in). I had tried a while ago to get a CWA TacOps server going on my W8 computer, but was unsuccessful. Might try, again, but not soon.

HA!!! You don't need a pic, she's part-Norwegian - take a look at the beauties all around you! Thanks for the reminder about your server - we'll see what Viking might be able to do.

Just saw these - hi, guys! An Overlord hijack is no problem. I'd like to get playing regularly, again, but RL has kept me busy (new baby back in February!). I haven't been playing anything, let alone OFP, but time has flown, so I must be having fun! I do miss playing with you guys, though. My server's down right now with RAM and connectivity problems. When I get those fixed, I'll fire it back up.

Hi, folks, I did a search and found little that pertained to running OFP under WINE, particularly with recent releases (plenty on running OFP Windows Server). I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and WINE 1.0.1. on an old laptop, Compaq c500. Have any of you managed to get OFP running well with WINE? If so, please, describe what you did. I've managed to get it running, even w/ FDF, but not consistently well (choppiness, audio issues, blank screen sometimes, etc. . .). I'm not running settings that should tax the system. I'm continuing t work through this on my own and will post what I find, but I'd appreciate the help of someone who can speed things up. I'd like to have a "mobile OFP" option for downtime away from home (I've recently been spending a bunch of time at a hospital and will continue to do so for a little while longer). Thanks!:)

Revelations of the past few days regarding this mess have confirmed for me what recent write-ups in RPS and ArsTechnica had led me to believe - the higher-profile games press are corrupt. cf. #gamergate #gamejournopros #notyourshield It appears a dev's been fired as a result of his support for #gamergate. (edit: I made a mistake on this one, I think - it looks like he deserved it) Immaturity, entitlement, racism, sexism, etc. . . in the industry all deserve an examination. However, the games press itself, the filter through which we receive our info regarding those aforementioned issues, should be at the top of the list of institutions in this industry needing scrutiny. Right now, from what I've seen, they're not trustworthy.

Updated with PowerUser's master server info - thank you very much! I hope you all can see it.

Looking forward to what you come up with, qbt! Thanks

Bad ass, Marto! Edit: Server's up, if you'd like to play.
