Guess we'll have to manually put up with fake IDs then.... deceived Shrike

Malboeuf I wont enter the discussion as it's totally pointless to discuss with you. Us weak mortals will never even grasp the magnitude and splendor of your thoughts. Plus you and your servers are so sexy that it hurts. Can I kiss your feet? Anyhow: You have no idea what is going on. There are groups that are dedicated to bring down OFP public gaming believe it or not. I'm not saying they're gonna succeed. I'm not saying it's a widespread problem...yet. But ffs if you're not concerned why do you keep commenting? Reading your big headed bragging is starting to make me sick. If your server is untouchable, fine. Good for you. But please bugger off and let people discuss in peace. Another option would be to participate in a polite tone and with hard facts but I'm not seeing this happen anytime soon....

Any news on a Linux version?

Just a quick question Mal: I noticed the traffic you listed for different servers in your sig You sure about that? 1 Terabyte a month? Our 2 servers together didn't even come close to that, even during the busiest months... the highest I ever had on my bill were 230 GB. I don't think Zeus is the most popular server but it's not quite deserted either, so I wonder how many people must play 24/7 to reach 1 Terabyte of traffic

Me too... Now that it's only a matter of days until our OFP server is back 75% of our core squad are addicted (heavily I might add) to EVE...sigh

Congrats, well done Still unbeatable, huh? We will keep trying to change that as soon as I can manage to drag our squad back out of the EVE Online universe! mwaha....MUHAHAHAHAHA! Â

Backwoods and Mal you make me so horny with your sexy servers! I told my girlfriend about your machines and she was like wow and uuhhh and ahhh and got all antsy and stuff. Now she can't stop thinking about you guys. I'm not even mad at her, you obviously must be hung like donkeys with OFP servers like that... Â For the love of god maroco give those guys your server specs and give them something to talk about, and good luck with your server Â

My record: 295 km/h in a model 2000 Porsche Turbo (not mine unfortunately) German Autobahn from Stuttgart to Singen at 5 o'clock in the morning But it sure as hell is scary! Everything outside your direct focus is just a blurred tunnel and it's amazing to see how fast you approach other cars that are "just" going at 200 km/h. I'd NEVER do that during the day! Luckily braking in a Porsche is like ripping an anchor through the road, it only takes a few secs to slow down - and you better make sure the safety belt fits tight...

A few pics from our last trip to Egypt, mainly for diving: My buddy in a wreck at 30 m Morning on the river Nile  WTH is jpg doing to my pics...:( All pics taken with Pentax Optio S 4MP digicam, obviously with underwater case

Apart from all the argueing and the final outcome: It was a fantastic match to watch, congratulations to both teams for their spirit and energy! Haven't enjoyed watching a football match like this in a loong time!

you're wrong.

Sheesh Albert I was only kidding anyway. And where did I accuse anybody of cheating? I merely stated the incompetence of the referee, a point which I'm sure 99.99% of those who watched yesterday's game agree on. lol I'm not even a real football fan, far from it actually. Oh and btw tonight it will be "my" team as well that's the beauty of having two nationalities. I hope your comments will be as critical and witty as the one above when it comes to judging the German performance tonight. Â

*sniff* Â ok, the Italians played bad and some of them are grease-haired pimps but cmon... I hope the Russian referee will be hung by his balls and beaten to death with a large salami while being roasted in a good aglio-olio sauce! It sure aint fun to be half German half Italian during this championship...everybody hates us. Weak jealousy towards true and old kingdoms of football I guess... And as for the Scandinavians gloating: Could you please stick with typical sports like icehockey or skiing?

Our current server is a dual Xeon 2.2 (note Xeon not Zeon  ) in this machine with 2.5 Gigs of RAM on a 100 Mbit connection, running on SuSE Linux Enterprise server. In late 2002 when we started we were running it without HT enabled, performance was ok but less than we expected. Later we installed a HT-enabled Kernel and while we noticed a performance increase on large coop maps with lots of AI, it seemed to have gotten slower in large adversial settings with 28+ players. It's still very well playable but lots of high ROF APCs or choppers can choke it pretty badly. Maybe I should add that we run 2-3 OFP servers on that machine simultaneously, this is where a 2nd CPU comes in handy. You can easily play a 15+ player coop on our addon server with a full public game (25+) running on the other. However it's still frustrating to realize what kind of machine one would need to play, let's say, a 15 vs 15 CTI. I don't think money can buy such a server atm. We will switch to a Dual Opteron 250 system in the near future if everything goes well. I expect a noticeable performance increase due to the high memory bandwidth of the Opteron CPU's. Using 64 bit is not an issue (yet) but the Opterons should perform very well in 32 bit conditions, too. It's gonna be a Dual machine again because a) it's cheaper in Germany to use 1 server only as you pay per height units in the rack + bandwidth and b) we hope BIS will provide  multiprocessing support in OFP 2. To Darkpeace: Our server still tops at 50 FPS in the lobby but it's Linux. As far as I understood you run a windows server.

My favourite mod is missing I think WGL 4.11 should be added to the poll as it is outstanding for adversial gaming/coop.

I hope anyone can help here as we still have no clue why it affects only Bob and not any of the other admins. Nothing has been changed on the server and it has been working perfectly for him until some days ago. Â

You can't rearm in this mission as far as I remember. It's been a long time but IIRC the amount of rockets at your disposal depends on how many you used in the previous mission. When I played it I was fairly low on rockets, too and I needed at least 10 retries to suceed. It's all bout approaching in the right angle. You need to hit the Shilka fast and hard then re-align to hit all tanks in a row. Don't panic and save your rockets for safe hits. Done If you're down to like 20 rockets I suggest to revert to the previous mission and keep as many as you can as you won't make it...at least I wouldn't.

No HPB kicking here, as long as the ping is in a reasonable range. Of course with a ping >500 in game (after connecting and loading) it doesn't make much sense anymore, neither for player nor for the server/rest of clients. I don't mind being shot by a laggy player after filling him with lead, what I do mind are high pingers using choppers or vehicles with high ROF coz they're gonna choke the server sooner or later, resulting in high desynchs for everybody. So with a bit of common sense by the player and tolerance and maturity by the admin everybody should be able to enjoy a nice game of OFP online.

Hi everybody, prologue: Could not find anything related to this in this forum so please forgive me if it's already been mentioned somwhere... Since a few days I get annoying error messages while starting up the game or certain missions. After 2.5 years of OFP I don't care much about error messages anymore but these errors prevent me from playing and this is unbearable. The error messages are (not exactly since I am at work and can't remember them exactly) cannot load UH-60 (L).p3d (magic) or similar with other units. I tried this with several separated installations of OFP, 1.91 and 1.94, with unofficial addons and w/out, with modfolders and w/out etcpp. I even copied a fresh virgin installation I have for server maintenance over one of the "faulty" installations, to no avail. It just works sometimes but more often it doesn't. I don't get where this error could come from as I haven't changed anything (no new addons or any other changes) Â for a while and it worked great until a few days ago. The closest coincidence would be the transfer of my hardware into a new case, I think the problems started after that. My config: MSI KT4 Ultra Athlon XP 2400+ Geforce FX 5900 Ultra 256 MB (*.5303 drivers I think) 2 x 512 MB PC2700 Samsung RAM 2 x 80 Gig IDE drives (Seagate and IBM) Terratec DMX 6fire Soundboard SMC Wireless LAN card 54 Mbit Antec Sonata case with 380 W supply (it's evil I tell you) OS: Windows XP Pro Sp1 running OFP GOTY 1.91 and 1.94 I think the rest of the stuff shouldn't matter. Any hint is appreciated! Thx in advance Shrike

Great intro and atmoshphere, fun mission at start! Gotta love the Puma and Gazelles buzzing all over the place! However it was too easy overall, and my CPU benchmark is well over 6000 which should give me the full treatment if I understood you correctly. possible Spoilers: Defending South & North approach is fun and you need to be quick in ordering your men into good and effective positions, but I expected a lot more from the raid of the city. Some fierce CQB fighting would've been great, maybe some nasty machinegunners or snipers outside of the city to keep you on your toes. It took me like 5 mins to clear the town and end the mission. Boy I was disappointed after the excellent start. The convoy didn't even cross the bridge, it was stuck on the other side. My suggestions: Put some heavy resistance in the city. Let us go against some armour attacking from the W. Insert a retry point after the intro-like first part of the mission, right after you take command over your squad. The rest is excellent as it is, I had great fun!

EDIT: argument settled, post deleted

Try Lt. Damages server. Dunno much about it but check the Forums here.

Cmon guys don't be so anal about CS vs. OFP and how OFP "should" be played etc. There is room for everybody's kind of gameplay, myself I love coop as well as adrenaline soaken PvP of all kinds. I personally don't like CQB in OFP, I admit I suck at it and I hate it when we have to play CQB maps in league matches. But whoever says coop beats PvP in terms of realism, support roles etc. has obviously never played a modern, well designed league map. No G36 for everybody, no unlimited AT the list goes on. However rest assured that #DK# are even better in large scale battles including armour etc. than what you've seen in this video...BUT WE WILL BEAT YOU SOONER OR LATER YOU'LL SEE!! *laughs hysterically then breaks into tears* Â

Is this the official "I pimp my server"-thread? alright then *pimp pimp* tsk...
