Another voice for coop vs AI! We spent so many hours playing coop vs the AI, I'd love to see it make a comeback.. crCTi is filling the void at the moment and that's almost as good, but it's not quite the same.

If I wanted to dramatically increase the number of resistance at each town (infantry and vehicles), which file in the pbo and which section would I have to edit? I've seen a few references to the resi infantry in InitUnitTypes.sqs, but I'm not 100% sure. Urgh, so I have to use the ingame editor and follow the instructions on page 4? Is there any way I can just edit the files within the pbo? (I cant use the editor at work, but I can get away with editing files easily enough!)

Has anyone got an updated list for the downloads? The links in the first post dont work, and I'd love to get some coop dynamic stuff on our server. I've grabbed the 1.3 from the link above, but I'm definitely missing other files. Can anyone help? Thanks

oops, wrong thread sorry!

Well, after a few tries and editnig of the script, I've got it working! I have no idea waht the watchdog was doing wrong, but I'm running the server from the command line with all the required switches and it's been working all weekend with around 10 hours of gametime racked up. Cheers for the help.

We're all kicked off, and we're running linux dedicated server so I cant see the console - I was running the game with tail -f on the log file, and all it said was what I posted above. It never actually says it stops working, just ... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> 20:52:59 Roles assigned 20:52:59 Reading mission ... 20:53:00 Mission read 20:54:09 Game started WATCHDOG (7251): [Thu Feb 23 22:03:37 GMT 2006] Starting server (port 2302)... 22:03:40 Dedicated server created, memory used: 17588 KB Operation Flashpoint Console version 1.96: port 2302 - Sockets 22:04:00 Server identity created The server will be running fine, and then suddenly restart (automated with watchdog I assume). It's totally random. Sometimes it crashes after 10 mins, other times after an hour. We've only tried it with ZeusCTI with a load of addons. I'm trying it at the moment with only the required MFCTI 1.16.pbo addon and if it continues to crash, I'll try running one of the vanilla missions. I can post the ./ofpserver, flashpoint.cfg and server.cfg if needs . Cheers

Guess who's back ... Well, the server starts fine, runs fine (with 6 people) but randomly crashes and restarts. There's nothing in the log that helps, it just says ... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> 22:49:47 Game started WATCHDOG (3953): [Thu Feb 23 23:51:15 GMT 2006] Starting server (port 2302)... 23:51:19 Dedicated server created, memory used: 17592 KB Operation Flashpoint Console version 1.96: port 2302 - Sockets 23:51:38 Server identity created It was a standard MFCTI Everon coop map, a map we've played a the lan a 100 times with no problems like this. Is the linux server inherently unstable, or are we doing something wrong? It crashed 3 times in total last night. First tine it lasted around 15 mins, second time around 70 mins, and the final one around 62 mins. All stock MFCTI maps with only the view distance increased to 1500. We werent doing anything particular in each session to force a crash, and the box wasnt doing anything at that time either... :/

Cheers Switch, that worked a treat

I'm running FedCore2, and I'm having no end of problems, I'm hoping someone can help me :/ I've got all the required files, I think they're all setup properly, chown to the right user, I start the server with ./ofpserver start and I get the following error in the logs... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">WATCHDOG (6433): [Tue Feb 14 16:47:03 GMT 2006] Starting server (port 2302)... 16:47:04 Dedicated server created, memory used: 3748 KB WATCHDOG (7551): [Tue Feb 14 16:47:05 GMT 2006] Server died, waiting to restart...

Everything reports ok with ./ofpserver check. The link to the libs in the first page is broken, wil lthis solve my issues? I'm going insane, I have no idea whats wrong. I've also tried running under wine, but that's crashing out with dorectx errors (again, I'm not 100%). I have root for the box if needs
