What is going on?

**guigaclt** · Posted: Wed Jul 07, 2010 2:15 pm Post subject: What is going on?

I came back from vacation and find that our servers are empty, our TS is empty except for the folks of FGI and that nobody post any messages in our forums.

I'm very concerned about his.

Iknow that some are playing BC2 but even that has been quite empty.

Are we going to do anything about it?

BTW: I tried to get into our main server loaded with Shaz mod and was kicked out many times. But, I can get into his server with the mod. And it was suggested that I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.

A very disappointed Guiga. Sad

Still here too. Been working like crazy lately with a full time contract with our local health care system, running my own business, maintaining a vending route, co-developing an adult website for a business partner, roofing the motorcycle clubs after hours club, buying repairing and selling vehicles, maintaining the house and dogs cause the sane half is in Florida for a month. Oh and babysitting my constantly drunk (and annoying) sister. Crap now that I wrote it all down I start realizing why I get no sleep lol.

I have had the same problem with the Shaz mod for some reason. I been getting in for a game or two once a week or so but mainly been when 1st would be playing in his server he hosts himself. Normally it is pretty dead lately. Maybe I can get in and play a game or two before I hit the sack.

problem with the "shaz mod"

is that everyone is trying to get into it with current version of Firestorm...

AS I Have told several others, and I even Told Guesli when I emailed him, as well as Informed 1st about it. Files Need to Match What is Run on the GAK Server, so if Version 5 is running (and it is), players need Version 5 of MDK mod to get in.

the version their running on the GAK server is the old Version 5 of the old MDK (Pre Firestorm) Mod.

it IS NOT the same version as Firestorm running on my server.

which is why when people join it and get kicked repeatedly.

also its why I asked the server name be changed from Firestorm to MDK mod.

AND its also the reason I mentioned the server needs to be locked, as ANYONE joining the server WITH OUT the files, will be kicked and accused of Running Hacks and Cheats via the message after getting kicked.

I would imagine people joining the server repeatedly and getting kicked repeatedly would just get fed up and go else where.

so there's a reason the server needs to be Passworded, but apparently THAT part also fell on deaf ears.

(I mean I only made the weapons mod, tested it out on my own server, etc etc etc, so what do I know, right? so lets just ignore some of the recommendations and requirements to host it... Rolling Eyes

)

if you need the old version 5 (its the first version I released "officially" and hosted on my server when I started that, I can send it to you guys via email.

I didn't start labeling the Mod files until Version 7 or 8 of Firestorm, so aside from reading the Readme file, there's no way of telling which Zip Archive is which for the old MDK mod files aside from the Archive name, the actual Weapon and Ammo files when opened in a text editor, don't display the mod version at the top of the file, Firestorm 7 or 8, I started that with)

that would explain it. I thought the new version was backward compatible with MDK. Now I know how to get that working. I must say it is fun to play on 1stmarines server though with constantly different maps. Always new missions to play and explore. Well I suppose I better get back to work now.

yeah, I agree, but on mine, I do have quite a few maps, and quite a few members have been given wolfRAT access on the server, so its just a matter of those people using wolfRAT to change the maps.

and I think Marine was going to figure out some way of eventually sending me his maps to put on my server, but we haven't talked about it in weeks due to me not being around much with the Chemo crap and all that.

but I do love playing on Marines small server, with a few members too, everyone seems to work together much better as a team on there, than the main one i have.

and I have to hand it to chuck, he always seems to find new and creative ways to kill himself and the team in my server LOL...

this time its with the L115A.

I had jacked up the Velocity on that gun so high, that you can get an INSTANT kill from 1000M out on a target, the moment you pulled the trigger, you couldn't even get off a quarter second count before the target is dropped, assuming the bullet didn't glitch through the target.

which happens alot as well.

anyways, was supposed to be some sort of Hyper Velocity Rail gun like shot.

but, seems someone one day left 1 shot 1 kill and fat bullets on in my server, and chuck and some others discovered that the guns velocity and those settings, you can shoot tree lines, targets like crates (that need explosives to blow) sam sites, etc, with that gun and it will destroy them.

turn those features off, and it will still do the same, just require more shots.

this was something I had NOT planned, nor discovered when I made those tweaks, as I only changed the velocity, not the damage settings for those rounds.

so now chuck and some others have a habit of clearing tree lines with gun, especially when team mates are near a tree line, and takes the entire team out with the shots LOL...

Who needs a Nuke at close range when you have Chuck armed with a L115A now, LMAO!!!

It's what i've been saying since March. We all need to get together 1 night or 1 weekend and play some epic maps. By the way......anyone seen WEREWOLF?

I agree with Hollywood. We need to get back somehow.

And about the question: Where is Werewolf? His email is bouncing back all the time.

I think game night would be great, set aside 4 or 5 houre just for the game... full reat with all of us forming squads to take on special roles with in the missions, so that we all depend on each other instead of everyman ore woman for themselves.
