No problem, last year of was the most of my visit in the business center and this year I am a qualified visitor, too. Thanks for the info, I will ask there if someone of BIS is there. Any idea if Petergamyes will be there, too? ;)

You are not my geezer and $600 seems to be a lil extortionate. ;) Because a have to plan my visit in cologne, I just need to know if I can count with someone from BIS or not... for free.

Thanks. Actually I just wanted to know if I can meet one from BIS there. ;) Looking forward! Jake

That's why I am asking. Last year they had a common booth together with some other publishers. Maybe they are doing it this year again. Would be a great pity when they are not there because it is one of the biggest convention for games in Germany. If you have further information please let me know. :) Jake

Thanks BIS for the dedicated server. :D I hope it works better than the beta version before.

Do you have a changelog for the dedicated server or will it come with the file itself? :)

Where is the problem of using the disc? Either the people are complainign about the patches, or they are complaining about something else... Does everyone know the joke with the djinni and the coke?

We were told at the beginning of ArmA 1 and Sahrani Life, with our idea running this mission, we are doomed to failure. What has a "open" mission to do with a running community? These are completely two different columns. :) Unfortunately, because of some ppl are just reading the last three postings before they add their thoughts, I have to repeat again: Everyone is free to play our mission. You have not and never (before) to pay money for it. We are not line one's pocket, even when someone is thinking this. Everyone is free to see our cash book and bills and AFAIK we had never any complaints about money, except here in this forum. Even when you guys want the code of our work, and you can even try to force it, we will never give it to you. :) Why? Read your posts and threads and think about once again. No one can force us to give away OUR code, even not BIS. If you like our mission, you play it (again: for free). If not, then not. You can even try to blame us, I will stay calm and we will keep this way -because it works since more than 5 years.

I have no idea what mySQl and your internet connection has to do with this topic, but I try to answer, but nvm. We are not using mySQL and notwithstanding, we are able to save the stats. We are using the statssaving system since ArmA 1 and Sahrani Life version 1.40 (Friday, May 30th 2008, 9:30pm). When it is that simple with mySQL, then enjoy the stat-saving on other servers!

I see there no problem, too. Sure, we can open a server for the US-player, but the the Russian and australien players want some pieces of this cake too. And this besides, would we have a reliable, trusted fried "over there", we would already have a server. But the guys of ArmA-RPG where also friends and we trusted them. But now we are just be disappointed by them, so we concluded this way we are now using. If anyone of you would suffer this way, I am very sure this one would act exactly like we do it now. Sorry to say. We like our work and we are not willed to provide other communities the best bugfixes and one of the most played missions when the code gets removed, the mission edited without checking the condissions (even "just" altering the paycheck is an edit!) and blaiming us in their own forum (like already happened more than 3 times). We do not know who is with us or with them, so we do just trust no one. It is easy for us and really more relaxed than to be annoyed about the ignorance, envy, destructive frenzy, anti-social behavior and disrespect. Sure, taunters could now say "hey, you are even actling like this way". Yes, we have choosed this way to protect our work and this is fully legal. And as I said, BIS is owning the code commands, but not the code. This is fully our intelectual property and no EULA can change this. You are still wondering why Issetea or Fewo do not help you? You called them snob and only god knows what you are think about them really. But their behavior to you are just a reflection of YOUR thoughts! Respect them, and they will respect you. Respect their work and they will help you! Cheers!

I just do not understand the problem here. You can play our missin for free. Why are you make so much trouble because you cannot get the code? Are you so much interested in modifying it that you create a topic just for our case? I am moved to tears, but really, where is the problem? You have already a leaked version and you already said you are enjoying this mission more than our. So why do you want our code? We do not make it public, even when the universe starts to shrink. You are free to join our server, if you are not interested in playing our mission, then not. Easy solution. Issetea and Fewo (you called them "snops") spent more than 5 yrs for the development. They begun with OpFlash and since this the code is closed. So why we should change it? Because 50 players are playing a bugged Sahrani Life 1.25 for ArmA 2? We have our playerbase and every player who likes our mission is welcomed to our forums and server as member. This way is neither a crime, nor worth a discussion. We had much problems with ArmA-RPG and we do not want a repeat of this event.

When it is just that simple, feel free to do it also. Have a nice day. And for the players who want saved stats NOW, they are still invited to our beta test in our community. :) The link is in my signature. Jake

Good for you. Enjoy Chernarus Life. :) As I already said: Everyone who wants a good gameplay, saved stats and a steady growing community is welcomed. So just visit www.rp-mods.com to play the official version and help us improving it.

Our server can only accept 32 players. When there are 20 or 25 players online it is okay. We have our regular playerbase and every new member is welcome. And TBH, we are not interested in players who are just joining the server. We have a good working forum, a great webpage (it is new btw) and we want that everyone of our players use it. We are providing a marketplace (new) where everyone can sell or buy stuff (not linked with the game, not possbile, resp. too complicated). We are more than just a game server. So we decided to force the players to visit the forum and to read the server rules. And I am sure, we have more than 100 members online the day, they are lucky to play our mission and I am sure there are just some small things which needs to be changed (after they got adressed). As long as no one set up a posting about a problem, the problem still not exist. When a player decided to play an unofficial version of our mission, they are free to decide/choose. And as I read in the other thread against us: we are NOT ArmA-RP and we will never be. :) Thanks to the players who like and support our mission. Everyone is still free to play our mission @ www.rp-mods.com, EVERYONE! Jake

...said a player.I am still waiting for an official word from BIS. You want the code, sure, I understood this. But as long as BIS do not say we MUST release the code, it will stay our own, not shared with the community which removes the original credits and not with anyone else who think he do it better than alone. Additionally: we do not want to provide the code. The stat saving system is much more complicated than you can imagine. And doing the whole day server set up is not my job in the internet. It works fine how it is, and it works this way since Operation Flashpoint 1. :) WTF?We are not arma-rpg. Do we are talking about the same community? ArmA-RPG is a complete different community. :) Nope, you are not banned. But the way you are talking in the forums sounds like you had a meeting with one of our exec-ban-Server Operators. :)You are still free to play on our server, except you are banned (-then it is not possbiel to visit our server).

We have no advertising and I am sure you still do not understand the word "donations". We just pay the server with it and even when you are not able to understand this, we are doing this. We do not get money for it, even when you try to claim this and to give a false color toour mission it does not change the fact we are receiving ONLY donations for server payment. You are not a regular member in our community, so what is your problem? We have NO advertisement. The only thing is the donation button so ppl recognize what the fact is. The players of Sahrani Life can download the addons without registration. This is since more than 8 months this way. That you are claiming they have to register shows me your low information-level. You have just to register for the server password, and this because we want to force the palyer to recognise the server rules. That is no crime, even when you want it. And every member of our bright community knows what is going on here. We are doing the mission for the members, and, like the other suppositions from you, we are using suggestions to build our mission. But, because you are just flaming against us, you still cannot know this because it seems you have never visited our forums/page before. But anyway, thanks for your propaganda and pushing our topic. TNX 1.0E6!

Do you really think we used the ingame editor of ArmA 2? Stop blaming our community only because you cannot accept property of other players and their work! We have a stat-saving system and there is no problem that we higher the prices. The only thing you try is running us down and it shows only your grief and envy. I have no idea WHY you are trying to start a foxhunt against us, but the more I read your postings which are all against us, I am sure you got cought by one of our Server Operators and your ID is now on the ban list. I am sure you are no Samaritan and this here is just frantic vendetta. If you would check our forums and news page more carefully, you would recognize a few things: - We are having still a beta period. We are changing and trying a few things. That you are banned on our servers still not change the facts, - we have a stats saving system, so why not lifting the prices so not everyone gets a million within 8 hrs? - we are working on a system so cops and civs have different current, resp. do not have the same bank account like civs. So what's your porblem? Where is the problem when cops get more money? Yes, NOW, ATM there is a problem, but it is still beta. Try to sort out your life and stop running down beautiful missions only because you made "special" experiences. Everyone [who is not banned], is still invited to play our beta @ www.rp-mods.com Regards, Jake

Selling means we earn money to our pocket AND you could only use it after buying. You do not need to spend money for playing Chernarus Life. If you like it, you donate some money so we can spend our server. If this would against an EULA, every clan would be illegal because they have fix rates and in a clan you MUST pay money. Think about. That CL is against the EULA is the dumbest argument I've read. This is the way you will get the server files? Calling the Developers "snops" is another way. Why they should provide their work for you? Because you are not able to accept years of development? Because of your disrespect? This is a case of sour grapes! We have many US members and they have never made a complaint. So I dunno why the performance is that bad. MAybe bacause the server executive file does not support multicore? Why do you blame us for our performance? e have much scripts, sure. But we cannot change it, otheriwse it would not be Chernarsu Life but a warfare mission or wahtever. In fact: Many Scripts are causing many cpu-time. sounds logically, or? Would the server support just more than one core, it could use all 4 cores of our server. But it still do not do this. Think about while we are waiting for a better server file. Thanks for playing the official Chernarus Life mission. :)

There is only one reason why the server is protected by a password. It is a combination of words which is needed for a good game. This word is maybe in some brains on the blacklist, but it is nonetheless needed. These words are: "Server Rules". The players have to register to the forums and before they get the password they are forced to read the server rules. Our community wanted this step and the community managment reacted on this. It is no crime to demand for a registration to thank to the thread. The mission is still free to play -for everyone (except he is listed on the ban list). The server is now up for 24/7, because we do not want that the cheap SL 1.25 ported ArmA 2 server get more visitors than the official, orginal and legit one. Thanks.

I'd much rather play on a server where you have not to start as new after every re-connect, server restart or crash. And why are we so much expensive? Because we have a stat-saving system. Our community enjoys this feature and our Sahrani Life stats are now almost 8 months old. Would be a great game when everyone would be rich after a few hours. And last but not least: Our community voted for a closed server, so not every "snob" connects to it. Our community decided it, we realized it. Easy way. But play whatever you want, feel free to play on our server.

Whatever, we do not own the code, right. But we own the sequence how the code runs. That people decorades themselve with others laurels is not right. Feel free to play the original version on our server. It is open 24/7, you can find the password behind the link above.

If you would spend more than 5 years into a mission you would think different. How would you feel when someone just grab your code, claims it is his and removed every original credits? Have a nice day.

Open BETA Test Because there is an illegal server which hosts a stolen, modified version of the old Sahrani Life (ported to ArmA 2 and claiming as official Chernarus Life Server), we decided to make a open, public beta test again. Because of this fact, we have decided dead against to release the first full version with source code to host Chernarus Life on other server. So we do not provide hosting files again. We are very sorry about this step, but we do not accept illegal, stolen copies and we have to fear our work again. Remember: This is the official and original mission of the founders Issetea and Fewo. Every other missions are NOT official, unapproved by RP-Mods.com and using basically the old Sahrani Life 1.25 version. As a registered user of rp-mods.com you are welcome to check out the latest version of Chernarus Life! You are still able to use your stats from the last tests. These are saved during the complete beta period! It will be a normal game with fully server rules! More information about the free beta test.

Sorry, but using an old engine with just better graphics, selling as a "new game", stealing my money for beta testing (germany) and providing a game which is (again; ArmA 1) not able to run stable in the multiplayer is a gall, nothing more. Next time I will wait for tests before I buy a BIS game. I am very very disappointed. Besides of tons of bugs there are many more points why I will never buy and support such a game again. Not only the prevention against illegal copies, it is also the cheater community which comes with the SAME engine like ArmA 1 again. ...Memory Hacks, hack-addons and whatever. As a manager of Sahrani Life and Chernarus Life a nightmare. Then that there is no real dedicated server files. It is a joke or? How should we run a server with many scripts when the graphic is rendered by a dedicated server? Sry guys, but you missed it (again). I hope some things will be better after patches, but the fucking lagging server when JIP seems just to be the only thing which is not fixable... But who wants a lag-free game... in vain. //edit BTW: the game costs @amazon only EUR 29,97, and I know why. http://www.amazon.de/HMH-Hamburger-Medien-Haus-Assault/dp/B001BDUTXI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1248606078&sr=8-1

Then you will get a new chance. ;) Source
