Title: New User (Kinda)
Post by: lenard27 on April 24, 2007, 12:02:48 pm
So anyways...I never got my fancy HLP green beam cannon thingy even though i joined 3 weeks or so ago.  It makes me feel left out of all the fun :(.

You know, I never got one either... ah well, back then welcome speeches were still often included with the beam, and that would have confused me a lot...
I'm afraid I don't have time to write a welcome speech so, if you want one, ask someone else. :p

Welcome to the HLP Station. Exits are located to the right, left, up, down, and 4th-dimensionally. However all of them are blocked, except the 4-d one, and no one's yet figured how to reach it. In the event of a landing of any kind, you can and will be used as a flotation device. Do not feed the resident Shivan Carl as he will become voracious and chew your leg off. You can find him in the ventilation duct. Throw him your lunch and he'll leave you alone (usually). Flamethrowers can be found under your seat but due to financial constraints have been re-filled with holy water. Plasma rifles can be found in storage lockers. To prevent act of n00b, however, these can only be opened by Moderators, Volition, GOD or a hyperintelligent shade of BluE. Please remember that any attempt to use the ASCII characters 0046h, 0053h, and 0033h in sequential order will result in you being trampled by FreeSpace fan boys. If you go in the Vasudan section of the station and find a box labelled “Headz”, please don’t open it. Thank you and enjoy your stay!

You know, I never got one either...
We're always in time to repair the error... This one is a (late) beam for you, Hunter:

Multiplayer FS2 is FS... just use the FS2 FSPort mod.  BTW, what are you running?  Retail?  SCP?  IF SCP, where did you get it from?
Title: Re: New User (Kinda)
Post by: jerryfurok on May 07, 2007, 06:43:23 pm
I do not have any mods.   :shaking:

Is that bad?  :confused:

And how can i tell if its the retail version because i can play entire the main campaign thing and I can use any ship in the Terran arsenal except the capital ships???

Unless they came out with a different version of the original..... or not ...... I did buy this a long time ago.

I am sorry if this is a inconvenience for you.  :(

Use the link in my siggy to get Turey's Installer.  Use this to update your FS2 with SCP + Mods.  It works quite well.

PS, no, not an inconvenience.  Quite fun actually.  I like helping people.  ;)

Post by: jerryfurok on May 09, 2007, 01:26:19 pm
i don't have FS 2 i have FS the first one

i just got a email

As far as I know, there aren't any FS1 multiplayer services available anymore. The only way to play FS1 in multiplayer would be to use the FSPort, but:
1) there may be the "hacked tables" problem (unless FSPort tables have been validated by FS2Net). Anyway, you can play even if the tables haven't been validated, but stats won't be recorded.
2) sometimes, mods cause multiplayer to crash. I'm not too sure about this though (MediaVPs can crash multiplayer, FSPort may not crash it).
 
If you want to search for some people to play multi, go in the HLP IRC channel (server: any EsperNet server, like esper.net, the channel is #hard-light), you should be able to find somebody.

i really don't understand why or how to do this    :eek2:

Uh... when I sent you that mail I thought you had both FS1 and 2 :nervous:

BTW, click the link to Turey's installer in jr2's sig. That should install a full copy of FS2 + SCP (and also some mods I think, I never used Turey's installer, I have the original FS2 CDs). With that you shouldn't have any problem.

BTW, click the link to Turey's installer in jr2's sig. That should install a full copy of FS2 + SCP (and also some mods I think, I never used Turey's installer, I have the original FS2 CDs). With that you shouldn't have any problem.

Problem with that I don't know Turey or how to find him
            :confused:                  :confused:                   :confused:

But thanks for the info..   :D :D :D :D :D

I have a feeling that jerryfurok has signatures turned off!  :doubt:

and I seriously doubt his English is good enough to know what a sig and siggy is!

Ok, click on my name on the left side of this post.  My signature is at the bottom of the page that will now be displayed.  I have Turey's Installer linked in my signature.

@jerryfurok; change your custom text to "I am a newb at just about everything!!! :)"

n00b = stubborn person who refuses to learn, and acts spoiled rotten.

newb = person who is new at something and doesn't have a lot of experience yet, but is trying to learn.

I made the mistake of calling myself a n00b on SpaceBattles.com... that and "spamming" (I disagree, but...) - They banned me.

However, the folks here at HLP are much nicer.  :nod:

Hmm, you mean you have the actual FS1 Retail?  That won't work online; PXO doesn't work... for a direct IP or whatever, that might work, IDK.

If you have FS2_Open and are running the FS1 port you can play online though. You'll have problems finding people to play with though.

If you post a date for a match you might find enough people willing to play.

Post by: Snail on August 01, 2007, 04:40:39 pm
Ok. You can. But you need to get other people playing with the FS1 modpack before you can play. In addition, you'll get a "YOU ARE PLAYING WITH HACKED TABLES AND YOUR STATS WILL NOT BE SAVED" message.

Just select FSPort in the mod tab?
Title: Re: New User (Kinda)
Post by: karajorma on August 01, 2007, 04:54:53 pm
Yep. It's that simple. Get together a bunch of people who have the port. Get them all to select the port in the launcher. Run the game and start up multiplayer same as you would with FS2_Open (There's a FAQ in the multiplayer forum on how to do that).

You'll get a message about hacked tables but you'd have gotten that anyway playing with the mediavps. If you all ignore it you'll be fine.

I remember some moderator making an extensive post about how beams used so much are only for + Post counts and abusers will be punished and some stuff.
Im just warning you.
Title: Re: New User (Kinda)
Post by: Unknown Target on August 01, 2007, 07:18:01 pm
They (is it we for me now? :D) did that because it was being abused - you'd have 15 replies to a thread with nothing but the welcome beam. As long as you use it in moderation, and preferably if you add an actual post after it, you'll be fine.
Title: Re: New User (Kinda)
Post by: Flipside on August 01, 2007, 07:43:11 pm
It wasn't so much the use of the beams that was the problem, there seemed to be a competition to see who could beam the most 'newbs', which led to an entire Jean-Michelle Jarre concert everytime we got a new member.
Title: Re: New User (Kinda)
Post by: jr2 on August 02, 2007, 01:48:33 am
Umm, that can be mostly blamed on one person... *scratches head*  I forgot who.  Kept on going on about his quest for domination or something like that.  Ah, that's right, I found it.  Mobius.  He was being quite the twerp about it, but I just thought it was funny, but the admins didn't.
Title: Re: New User (Kinda)
Post by: Unknown Target on August 02, 2007, 01:54:03 am
It wasn't just mobius, it was pretty much the entire new portion of the members.

Ya, but I think they were playing follow the leader.  I could be wrong, though.

I don't think this thread is really necessary anymore, do you? :)

jerryfurok, if you still have problems with multiplayer, this forum will probably get you better answers:
