Thanks for announcing this.

I would also like to stress that the server isnt quite fully functional yet.  It should be sometime around monday when I finish talking with inquisitor.

Yea, you missed the test but the server will remain up (given it doesnt crash). Feel free to play with your friends.

i think there should be a new table entry for table version, that will be displayed in multi. it just needs to be a string that gives mod name and table version. it would show what tables the user has installed and what tabes the server is running. change the hacked table message to include table version info. so the player knows what he needs to install/disable.

I don't understand why getting the mission CRCs takes so long.

After all it's just a bunch of numbers.

Post by: MatthewPapa on June 19, 2005, 08:59:04 am

Its because there are no CRCs in my sql database. Like I said above its not fully functional yet. I still need to get with inquisitor and as him a few things before I can finish this thing up.

Title: STATUS REPORT!
Post by: MatthewPapa on June 22, 2005, 07:28:32 pm

The server as of this moment is 100% functional for gameplay. If you are getting hacked table messages be sure to download the table files in the multi setup FAQ . Please also note that the FAQ has been altered to provide instructions on how to connect to the GW Fs2netD server. If you are new and have no idea what you are doing go there.

Create you Fs2netD accounts here. You should be able to log on to the multi server with them.

For any other questions: post them in this thread. Report any bugs promptly!!

Have fun!;)

Let me make this a little more helpful, no?

Bug synopsis:

Using SCP, when a mission is loaded, all subsystems are critically damaged.

Crashes frequently, especially when getting server list.

just wanted to make you guys aware of this so you can fix the bugs.

The subsystem bug has been fixed in taylor's latest build (20050624).  Unfortunately some people have had issues with the server listing.  Many people find 20050103 stable enough for their purposes.
