What do you think so far? I think that consolidationg all of the various FAQs and stickies into one will help with user-friendliness.

And once I figure out why Windows 7 hates my firewall and vice-versa I'll start hosting again, I'm turning my desktop into a standalone server.

No prob, they aren't hurting anything.

The install, minimum specs and troubleshooitng/issues aren't really multiplayer issues.

Does the Game Viewer still work? Do we have any Ventrillo or Teamspeak servers rented or anything?

game viewer doesnt work (not for 3.6.10 and TBP etc)   still no voice thing , maybe you could demand the xfire freespace community.....


and as for the other stuff id just like to see a HELP thread wich then links you of into different sections instead of hunting through the forum as such

Yes on the standalone question.  Split it out so you could add it.

I need somewhere to upload images without a size restriction. Anyone have a few MB of hosting space?

NVM, ImageShack fits the bill.

Hey FUBAR, how do I set up a standalone? I opened up the dialog but I can't figure out how to set mods/missions.

Launcher sets mods.  Missions are set by the player hosting on the standalone.  There is a problem where non mod missions show up.  It's been fixed to the point it won't crash the standalone but it will dump the game.  

Best bet is if you are going to run a standalone for a mods to remove all the FS2 mulit missions.  Of course that involves extracting the files from the VP and deleting it.  Not a good idea unless you know what you are doing.

You might want to change that section to general hosting an make standalones part of it.

BTW If you don't want 4 duplicates deleted in the future give a little bit of a better description then reserved.
