I'm in Singh

[jdjtcagle]

Somebody play with us!!!
Me and WMCoolmon have a server up

[WMCoolmon]

jdjtcagle and I are playing through Templar, if anyone wants to join (and can join) they're welcome to.

[redsniper]

the server wouldn't show up

[Singh]

ill see if i can convince FS2 to join

[redsniper]

and it keeps saying I have hacked tables, but I removed myzpack and every other non-standard VP and cleaned out the tables folder

[Singh]

check ALL your FS2 folders. Sometimes those darn .tbl files are sneaky and hide in some of the other folders, FS2 later picks 'em up and problems arise O_o

[Jetmech Jr.]

Ill be glad to play, once i can get control of my computer back from the demon overlord(my dad). This Laptop doesn't have FS2.

[jdjtcagle]

Ok, speffects will affect Table hacks...

Were back and ready for another one

[WMCoolmon]

Make sure you don't have hud_gauges.tbl or any .tbl files in ANY non-mod directories within your freespace 2 directory.

[jdjtcagle]

Does anybody see our server?

[Singh]

i see your server, but its in briefing stage so I can't join!

[redsniper]

I don't see the server and I've cleaned out my effects folder but it still says there are hacked tables. Will textures (shine maps and such) affect the hack detection

no, they wont.
This may be a better solution:
go to your root_fs2 vp and extract all the original .tbl files into your data directory. Back up your old ones first if they are modded! This should allow FS2 to load all the required tables and bypass the hacked tables warning
edit: also use force local port 7808 under the network settings in the launcher. it seems to have worked for me

[redsniper]

extracted the original .tbls to the tables folder. No change.
forced local port to 7808. No change.
what version of FSO are you guys using?

------------------

To anyone who has removed Zpack and is still invalid: make sure you've updated to 1.2

[redsniper]

*sigh* I'm the idiot... I hadn't updated to 1.2. So, the hack warning has gone away but there still aren't any servers showing up.

[Singh]

im starting a server, see if you cant spot and join it. Try forcing ports nine and 10 if 8 doesnt work.

[WMCoolmon]

Blech, I can't get past 3 missions before the memory bug kills FS2.

[jdjtcagle]

Hey Coolmon, I see it crashed again huh?
