CoD2 1944 D-Day Forum Game

[DavidUpton]

Who would fancy getting together for a game this Saturday? It would be good to get together for a friendly forum frag.

The only problem are times and getting a server.

Post when you are available in GMT please (I'm a lazy bugger and it simplifies things for me. :) )

[Katulobotomia]

that would be great, but I have plans to take my girlfriend to the movies saturday :(

[75thDeadMan]

That's what we call in the biz an "Oh snap!" But yea i'd love to do that- unfortunately don't know GMT time. I'm America East.:(

[Volvulus]

Same american east.

[Thanato]

Im good after 9pm EST (GMT -5)

~Thanato

[Jimmy]

Bleh. I have work from 5-10PM GMT on Saturday. :(

[enigma]

I should be cool for 7pm-whenever i fall asleep GMT Sat :)

got no plans for the time being.

[emery]

I'm away this weekend but later I can probably get an EU server from my clan's affliates that we can use. Probably based in Holland so you US guys might have some trouble. For Europeans pings would be around 40-60. Anyway, if you guys do get a game together this weekend, have fun :)

[Sargeant]

I'd join.

Probably get my ass kicked, haven't played that game in a loooong time:p

Since i'm pacific time...I think you would be...7 hours ahead on me? :o

[Neetje]

When? Where?:cool:

Who wants my K98 or other rifle in his ***:p

[D.O.A]

Drop by our clan server if you like UK based, should be alot of members online tonight.

217.146.92.113:28960

217.146.92.113:28970

Theres also a TS you can join 217.146.92.113:8767

[[BEF]-R!G4M0RT!Z]

Don't you mean BST time??? Cos GMT is normal time. BST is British Summer Time, and now is "Summer"

[EvilHobo]

As much as I despise the game, I'd be in.

I want Axis!

[aag567]

A server forcing teamwork? I think you should a start a server for Red Orchestra instead, tactics and COD don't mix.

[DavidUpton]

Decided to postpone it until next Saturday so I can actually do some proper preparation for it. Good news is that I have managed to get a TeamSpeak server for the night.

[aag567]

If you're going to stick with making a server for COD can you tell me how to join a server?

[Volvulus]

Good idea, I haven't played COD2 in a while.

[Neetje]

Ok then:cool:

[aag567]

Why not start a server for Red Orchestra instead?

[DavidUpton]

Because I don't have it?

[Neetje]

lol, I was going to say the same thing:rolleyes:

[aag567]

Because I don't have it?

Oh, well it's only 25 $. And it's very realistic. Just a suggestion.

[lazlazlaz1]

i would, but i uninstalled cod2 to fit red orchestra on my comp, so im playing that exclusively as well, its just so damn good.

[D.O.A]

its ok and the dev's are doing what they can, more then i can say about cod2, there just more peeps playing cod2....or just good server for the UK;)

[Ron]

Actually recently there has been more and more people playing ro with the retail release in europe,and finding a good uk server is simple splat is usually full for one. But about cod2 if your set on still playing cod2 i might drop in its been a while so i might give it a go. Also more people doesnt mean better god i'd take ro's small community over cod2's big community anyday.

[Cobra [RAAB]]

Dave, the TS server is not guarenteed but I should be able to swing it your way, gonna be a push cause im only getting back Friday night, so Saturday I'll set er up.

I need to check with Munk though, cause of passwords and the shite. So dont hold your breath.

[Volvulus]

Which one of teamspeak do I download in here http://www.goteamspeak.com/index.php?page=downloads I have Windows.

[NicholasJohnson]

TeamSpeak 2 Client (RC2)

[Volvulus]

Thanks, er I prefer the ventrillo but this should be fine. Do you know the server for it yet? Can you post it if you do thank you again.

[enigma]

if you dont have a mic ... is it still advisable to download Teamspeak?

Will see if i can drop in on the game next sat, should be fun to have a mess about.

[DavidUpton]

Huge thanks to Jack who will be paying out to rent a server for that day. :)

[Volvulus]

You can if you want i guess, for like information on where the enemy is and stuff when you talk like in a firefight and theres no time to type. And David do you know the time of when people's will play and the ip would be nice too. Hope I could help.

[Jack {RAAB}]

I Shall hopefully have the IP tommorow for both the server and teamspeak, After Ive tweaked the .cfg and added WRM And other mods Il Make it open to the public, Which will hopefully be tommorow evening, The name should be along the lines of "1944 D-Day CoD2 server" The server will be up for a month, If theres enough intrest il keep it up. As for the times thats dave to decide.

[Volvulus]

I was just playing some cod2, and I forgot how much bunny hopping there is can we like make a rule that says NO BUNNY HOPPING lol that what turned me off the multiplayer.

[Jack {RAAB}]

The Servers are now UP.

Running Patch 1.3 (http://callofduty.filefront.com/file/Call_of_Duty_2_Patch;64010)
Game Server Name -DDay Forum CoD2 Server
Game Server IP - 62.67.42.56:28960

TS Server IP - ts41.gameservers.com:8807

Maps run -
Omaha (http://callofduty.filefront.com/file/Omaha;65841)
Return to Bocage (http://callofduty.filefront.com/file/Return_to_Bocage;65767)
Hill24 (http://callofduty.filefront.com/file/Hill_24;62922)
Stick the maps .iwd file in your main folder (I think) Also, Sometimes the server will think you need to download them anyway, If you have all the map files and you get this just turn downloading off in mp options.
I HIGHLY recommend downloading from those links as the you will get very slow kb/s from the server ftp.

The server isnt passworded and open 24/7.
Later on il hopefully add a realism mod and maybe custom skins if possible, Cya there.

[Jack {RAAB}]

Due to overlooked security reasons and a previous incident, the TS Server will be passworded, Those who wish to have access pm me, Its not just open for people wanting to play CoD2 but for Any member of the forums who wish to use it for whatever.

[DavidUpton]

In addition to that, DO NOT ASK FOR SA. You will just be told to **** off (due to the afore mentioned incedent).

[Volvulus]

Whats SA? And when I try to do the custom maps when I make my own server to see if they worked for, Bocage and hill24 i got a error that said Script compile error see console for more, and for Omaha i got error /wdsum/namemismatch or thing like that. I put it in my call of duty2/main folder. Also I cant find the server, where can I put the ip to find the server? im a cod2 multiplayer noob pretty much.

[NortherlyNanook]

SA on Teamspeak means Server Admin. It's wise to have ONE on at a time... if at all...

I have the same problems with the multiplayer, but I guess it's since you may have too many mods or such installed in your main folder. I remember that once when I checked off "Pure Server," it worked. It doesn't like non-dedicated servers, I think.

[Volvulus]

Thanks, do you how I can find the dday server I checked the filters and everything is there a way to enter the ip and connect to that server?

[Jack {RAAB}]

/Connect 62.67.42.56:28960
That should work, Its easy to find by filtering by name.

[Dutchlike]

I just checked the server...not very crowded ey? :D

[emery]

Nice one Jack, also thanks for the helpful links :)
I'll be there a lot with a few clanmates from now on just to keep it populated, add me on xfire if you wanna join at the same time, my username is cplsteiner .

[DavidUpton]

Feel free to add me; david29.

[Dutchlike]

Did both :p.
Mine is dutchlike

[xplosiv]

Why did they have to make yet ANOTHER omaha map which has those big stupid bunkers?! :mad:

[Buckie]

try this little tool for world times .... easy http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

[DavidUpton]

Why did they have to make yet ANOTHER omaha map which has those big stupid bunkers?! :mad:

Blame Erwin Rommel.

[emery]

Blame Erwin Rommel.
Or the community mapper that put his spare time into something that other players could enjoy..

[NortherlyNanook]

I dunno. I've enjoyed both of the Omaha maps. Good fun with those.

[Volvulus]

And when I try to do the custom maps when I make my own server to see if they worked for, Bocage and hill24 i got a error that said Script compile error see console for more, and for Omaha i got error /wdsum/namemismatch or thing like that. I put it in my call of duty2/main folder.

Still get those annoying errors, when does everyone play? I tryed around 10 eastern and no one was on.

[emery]

That's why xfire is so useful, you can easily see if people are playing and it's fast to ask someone for a quick game. I believe there is a xfire username thread somewhere around here in offtopic.

[Cobra [RAAB]]

Good work Jack. You're a good man.

Gimme a shout if you ever get some trouble with the penguin :p


(Linux for those who dont know)

[Jack {RAAB}]

Danke.

Right, Hopefully I can set the server up for a good night this weekend, What I need is what times people could join in at and if sunday would be better than saturday or vice versa.

[DavidUpton]

Saturday.

8pm GMT.

All good. :)

[Cobra [RAAB]]

Saturday 20:00 onwards
Sunday the same

[DavidUpton]

Bloody hell you type fast Nick.

[Cobra [RAAB]]

I know.

20:00GMT is usually quite good for most people. But beaing COD2, people can drop in and go and come back etc which is always good.

Current stage of FTP: Pis*ing off jack

[Neetje]

Hmm i'll see what i can do to be there. Not sure but i'll see:rolleyes:

[Severyns [3rd ID]]

Hmm. Will these have a Realism mod on it?

WRM is the best one out there, made by [1stSF/SS] Wolfsbane.

[DavidUpton]

Might not be at the game tonight as I have been called into work.

[Cobra [RAAB]]

Im currently working with Jack to get the server up to an exceptable standard and I am hoping to get WRM working on it.

Im getting there, slowly as it always is with servers.

[Cobra [RAAB]]

Okay sorry to tell you this guys but looks like the thing wont be running this weekend.

Due to a few tech errors and some of the server companies screwing us over we are going to be postponing the night to next weekend, most likely at 20:00 on Saturday.

Whilst trying to upgrade the server for fun factor for the night a few unknown errors where ran into and therefore its postponed. However, the server is still up and running as standard CoD2 with 2 custom maps (not hill 24) see listed on previous page.

Hope to sort this out soon guys.

Wish us luck

[Neetje]

Good Luck guys;)
