come on now don't be shy, we'll get some OWG MP games going.
I'd join you DKM2, but I'm on PS3 - no cross platform MP.
Can't do online with dialup, or I'd be there in a second.
I think I'll try and set up a death match later today, team DM is good too..
(gotta plant flowers first... ::) )
look for a openworldgames.org just fun! something or other.
ranked up to 12 so lots of weapon to choose from.
soon as can get a wireless usb thing will be up for bit of OWG team hunting... dont put my gaming system on net if can halp it. like to keep it clean as possible.
I may try connecting just for grins - see how bad it really is. Some games can tolerate a little lag, some not so much.
I'm in - as soon as I get connected up again - thought probably not today, sadly...
EDIT: how do you communicate with your team members? Do headsets w@&k with FC2? Does the DLC account w@&k with the non-DLC account? I don't have the DLC on the PS3 - which reminds me, where do you get the PS3 DLC? I can't seem to find it on the Playstation store. Sorry to sound so disjointed - I'm in a terrible rush today and have only short snippets of time to post.
The only thing that should matter for online with the DLC is that there were extra maps included, so non-dlc accounts can't play on those maps.
As for the PS3 version. In the PSN store go to add-ons, disc based add-ons, and comb through there for FC2 (no it's not in alphabetical order - that would make sense).
its also on ubisoft site for all formats. should be online by weekend if not sooner, may need some pointers as to how to sort it! (online gaming newbie i be) got pretty good at one-shot headshot kills with a pistol tho.
Thanks guys! :-X
PZ, communicate using the text box. "t" All. "y" teamates.
I'm not going to bother trying to voice up anything, I do for other LAN games with my son thou,
because the connection is very fast.
dke58, its easy, point and shoot at anything that moves! :)
some of the special sniper ones that people run are a little tough though.
btw, post your ID and I'll add it to list at the beginning of the thread.
To keep this thread on subject, here is my info for the PC mp.
SoulFallen
I had always thought MP was cross platform, oh well, I don't have a console
so I don't know if works the same way.
I'll add a console list to if anybody wants.
Definately not cross platform....... I guess you could just make 3 separate lists so that would be more clear to people :)
Don't worry about another list DKM2, I have a thread started with PS3 ids, but the only PS3ers I know we have are me, retiredgord, and PZ (and he's now two-timing with his PC).

Welcome to the forum, SoulFallen! :-X
added PZ to the list.
ArtBlade or Art Blade :)
okay I'll include you, only because I feel sorry for the online challenged.
there's still hope ;D
hope to get my tech hold-ups sorted asap and join you in there for a game or two.
cool, got a good one going this morning, 10 people playing.
no complaints yet. looking good.
you're not going to believe this: I think I repaired my connection. I can see pings now, other than 9999 :) Couldn't join your server atm because it was "started" I think. Shows ping of 180 :)
I think I'm close now ;D
ARGH as always. After a refresh it went back to normal, 9999. Maybe there's a solution somewhere, but I don't know where :)
Keep at it son, our nation is depending on you...
thanks, will do... meanwhile, keep fighting, you're our pride...
My FC2 multiplayer name is Hacko84.
OK guys,
DKM2's MP server (PC only, sorry console guys) thread is now listed in the "You need these..." block on the main page - click the link (http://openworldgames.org/owg/forums/index.php?topic=520.msg5712#msg5712) to see the latest online persona's as well as the latest server name.
:) :-X
I was on the server around 8pm (pacific time) tonight, and there were 16 people on.I saw that DK was on it for awhile. Good games. :-X
haha, man those games were crazy! I didn't see ya, too many beers to see anything. ;)
I fixed it up this morning, longer time and score per match.
I'll likely be around tonight too.
changed the server name to openworldgames.org
Whole new map rotaion is up, all custom maps now,
including four by OWG's member Pac!ent.
Awesome maps by Pac!ent too.
Guys I add to the download area my new map - Sphinx.
Maybe you would like to try it out. Hope you will like it.
Have fun ;)

Wow, looks awesome. I'll definitely check it out tonight.
I like maps that keep with the Africa theme, North Africa here I come!
Maybe I'll leave w@&k early today.. cough, cough... ;)
Incredible, Pac!ent - your maps are the best I've seen on the 'net. I can't believe how stunning the graphics are :-X
Are you going to add this one to your map rotation DKM?
Ya, they are, fun to even run around in LAN mode by yourself.
I have a whole new map rotation system now, so I'm going to review them all this weekend.
Some of standard ones have got to go, there are a few I just don't like.
I can now run up to 128 maps in a random order, so you hardly ever see the same map
come up or know which one is next.
I think I only have about 40 in my collection though.
It's a little crazy, and I don't know how people feel about that, maybe some like playing the same ones over and over???
If nothing else, it's different than any other server.
I'm jealous of those maps and playing with OWG members. Wish I could join you guys, but alas no cross-platform MP. :'(
I'd play more MP on the PS3 if I didn't hate the aiming using the controller on the console so much - I just can't get the hang of how the controller turns you slowly at first, then woosh... a rapid acceleration way past your intended aim point. For me, the console is OK when doing the rather predictable movements of the AI, but when it comes to the chaotic movements of real people online, my skills are just not enough, and probably never will be ;D (Yes, I've tried adjusting the controller settings, but nothing really helps :'(
Yesterday I uploaded my new map here to the download section, but I cant find it lol :D
If you want see more screenshots and got a link for download, you can find it here: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3171037696/m/7341036577
Thanks a lot for your all positive feedback about my maps !
Love you too ;)
I found it, got it from your site. (can't read the language but found my way around)
Lots of hiding spaces and doesn't favor snipers, but they can still do their thing.
You can get on top of the sphinx, pretty suicidal though I think.
All and all, just nice to look at, I'll include it.
Maybe I'll see ya around your server DM.
On another note I'm quite amazed, in such a short time I've seen over 2400 players.
a third of which have come back more than once.
I like reading how the two of you are working together and how people return to the server. Great job, both of you :)
Indeed, Pac!ent, you maps are looking fantastic, nice themes, and the screenshots are beautiful. Thanks again for keeping us posted up :-X
DKM2 - congratulations on your successful server; even though I've not visited yet, I plan to one of these days, but I regularly check the stats listing - amazing that you have so many repeat visitors.
Pac!ent - my fault that the download didn't show - was still sitting in the approvals listing. It should be visible now. Sorry, my friend!
EDIT: DKM2 - I don't know if you used the link to Pac!ient's site that is in our top menu bar, but that link uses Google translator to translate most of his site into English.
yes, already downloaded it ;D By the way, man, the download is so quick!! I clicked it, and already reading "download complete" for 2.8 megs. :-X
Nice to know that you was able navigate there even without translation :-X
But as PZ say - you can find on your site link to the translated version. And in the left upper corner of our site - link to this site :)
As for map "descripton" - yes, I wanted to let this map good not only for gunners and other "rifles" classes, but for snipers as well, because everybody sometime want to take that weapon and have some fun. But in this map you have to be good sniper, because otherwise you going down quicly :P
Ok, so thx again for your feedback and I promise that I will post here about all my new maps in future. Btw, this site is no doubt the best FC2 fun site atm, so why not ;)
See you in the game :)
looking forward to it :) Our site is what our members make of it, so thanks for helping us with your w@&k :) :-X
DKM2, Please !!!! Can you tell me how you made that top 40 chart ?
Its some kind of sowtware which read real data from your server ?!? If yes, and if you can share this knowledge, it would be one of the greatest news for me. So please let me know. Thx in andvance ;)
Ya its an application I made myself, similar to Mchats extender.
Right now its not particularly user friendly in that I have hard coded a lot and there is no help.
Basically it monitors the console output for messages like "DKM2 killed ZXY."
I take that info and put it into a database, +1 kill for DKM2, and +1 death for ZXY.
(all before ZXY can say "wtf?") :P ;D
Then every hour I sort the database by kills and make a report,
which then gets ftp'd here to the board, by PZ's good grace.
Just the first page though, 40 is what fits on a single page.
But in the game it does announce to everyone when a player logs on if they are in the Top 200.
I think there's about 60 different items I track for each player like that,
a lot of it isn't particularly useful, but I keep them anyways, just in case.
I haven't decided about releasing it, still needs some major cleaning up.
I just did it for fun, and it just grew.
Well, "you da man", DKM2 when it comes to being one of our most knowledgeable tech guys. I'm impressed with the top 40 chart, and that it updates so regularly. As I mentioned, I almost never go MP, but I do regularly check the chart! :-X
DKM2 thx for reply. That tool could be really "hot", if you would be able to release. Whole community asking for smth like that and still nobody made it, but you can become real "star" and all would be gratefull to you if you do so ;)
So please let us know if you will consider release, I would be one of the first who want to use it ;)
Will do, just because it's you! :-X
You guys are map making machines.
I went to another site and out of 26 downloads, I got 2 maps.
All nice ideas and concepts, but just taken too far, might be a source of ideas for you guys.
Since you've seeded the idea, I started looking into a component I have
for the user to design their own reports, and I started a GUI for auto-ftp settings.
I finished the GUI for dedicated_server.cfg file last week and have been using it.
Seems stable, so I can move on to other things in the application.
So I am getting there. Its going to take some time though, because I just made this thing
to do what "I" wanted it to do, not a lot options which a release will need.
That takes a lot more thought. Could be a month, I'll PM you for a beta though. If and when I get there.
(PZ, I'll have to be burden again and have you host it thou) ;D
Btw, making your own report is going to take a bit of learning on the users part though, its very powerful.
You can do almost anything you want with the data, there's even lots of math functions if you want to calculate stats.
Sadly, I don't get to use this a lot at w@&k, just design, build, test, report, ship, so its learning for me too.

Wow, thanks a lot, but you will see - many server admins and clan members would be gratefull to you :-X
;)
Let us know if you will need any help or testing, if we would be able provide some..:)
I put a new Far Cry 2 MP logo on the front page of the site in the right column and another one on the FC2 home page in the left column. Clicking it takes you to the statistics page for DKM2's openworldgames.org server. It's a handy way to quickly get to the stats page.
Great idea :-X
nice one :-X
FAR CRY (2) FOREVER! ;D
Today I played on you server, got a few acusation for hacking looool ;D because of a bit "pownage" so hopefully I can get soon on Top40 chart :P (pacient.cz)
How often its updated ? Or its done automatically ?
Edit: btw -I saw there nice features like "welcome/player name or warnig after team kill !!
Well done DKM2 :-X :-X
I suppose its done by PB, isnt it ? Can I know those command or settings please ? :P
I can't imagine you hacking, Pac!ent! Just tell them you're an OWG member and we don't do that kind of thing. ;D
The chart is updated every hour automatically.
The messages are all mine, I don't run PB. I've tried PB but I don't like it.
It warns after swearing and team kills, usually you get 5 warnings then banned. (per match)
(if less than 4 are playing 3 TK gets you banned).
And then of course the administrative punishment. :-X
Like I said, the welcome warning changes a bit if you are in the Top 200.
You know whats funny, lots of people respond to the welcome message, like it's a real person. :)
Another interesting thing is to examine the leader, their kill number and the ratio of kills/deaths. The top player has a kill/death ratio of 1.67 while another person down the chart has one at 4.67.
Although I've not seen either playing, I imagine that the 1.67 guy is a Rambo style shooter that is skillful, bold and goes where others fear to tread, and perhaps plays the game long hours to get so high a kill number. In contrast, the guy with the 4.67 ratio I imagine to be one that is a more cold-blooded, deliberate killer that precisely calculates what needs to be done to get the maximum number of kills while remaining alive - more of the sniper type of mentality.
I guess the question is, who is the better killer?
That's the beauty, the game allows for anyone's style. What's really killer is if you get both these guys (or types of players) on the same team coordinating and communicating with mics. That's Killer!
Even if it's just "Hey, guy coming around the side of the warehouse" or whatever.
Exactly - imagine the devastation - cold killer in a sniper location while Rambo ferrets out the opposition. :-X
some of those leader deaths are mine! he's a "good" guy. :)
The chart is ordered by kills, so a big factor of where you are is how
often you play this server. The K/D ratio is a little bit more subjective.
A higher K/D means you took less time to get there.
The ones I know that are "good" on there are all about 1.6 – 1.9 range,
and they play all the maps, change weapons to their advantage for the maps.
The higher ones I would imagine are snipers only, and play on maps that
favour snipers otherwise they leave. I'm just guessing though.
Then there's stubborn me, I play them all, but I stick to my favorite weapons,
and style, and just change my tactics and my roll on the team for the maps that come up.
Hence, my rather poor K/D.
This is all a little simplified because every match has a little different feel to it,
as people come and go and maps change.
For me the big thing is, anybody can get to the top, it just takes w@&k.
But it is a sliding count over eight weeks, so kills, deaths, etc you got eight weeks ago
are removed from your total every Sunday at midnight. (I think we're in week 5 now? maybe 4)
Grand totals of all time are also kept, just not shown here.
Anyways, you stop playing, you start falling in the standings.
Your tool sounds well thought out, and I like the logic behind it (binds players to your server). Nice, DKM2 :-X
Sounds like fun to analyze the mathematics of how people perform - lots of variables though.
DKM2 how far you are with creating that tool for top Chart ? :P Is there any progress ?
And also - is possible to share system how you run those messages ? It looks really cool, much better than I saw so far by PB or other tools.
Please ..... ;)

Its coming along. I've coded the interfaces to add options for making up to 8 different "Top"
Charts. Most suicides if you want. I'm just getting started at the testing of this.
I think the whole creation of the "dedicated_server.cfg" file is complete, been running it for over a week.
I want to add more to the database which will slow things down a bit.
Things like Match leaders, first second third in match scores (kills),
for your team and over all for the match. Only counts if you finish the match though.
Still designing this.
I don't know what you mean by "share system" for messages?
Oh, btw, what kind servers do you have, because I think this'll be hard to run on a rental.
Great, so soon it would be released :P Thats good news :-X
We own clan server running on our own computer and of course I got complete ftp and remote control access. So everything is possible :)
Concerning to those messages - I think it that it must be done by some commands and cfg file. Correct ? But I dont know what are those commands and how you made that if for example someone make team kill, then message "Temkill is not allowed" (or so one) appear. So can you please share how did you make it ? Please ;)
I reckon you want to translate all English texts... best if you know how to/where to find them :)

The messages are all input using the console input.
The application takes control of the console, so its as if you were entering the commands yourself.
Its all programmed in C++
Maybe end of August.
I got a weeks vacation soon, and nothing to do.
Oh, just to let everyone know a faker/imposter/hacker DKM22222. is around.
(same name with a . added)
He's now on the 100 years ban plan.
Thanks for the notice - the period is subtle enough to escape notice. Let's keep that in mind if we see any of our names with such - anyone with a period at the end of their name is banned forever. ;)
Happened to me once, someone using my exact nickname and my preferred loadout/class/etc. That was when we started protecting nicknames with passwords. You then could only enter a server using a certain nick if you had the matching password.

:-X looking forward to it. Btw - best way how to spent vacation, same here :)
Today and tomorrow Sat&Sun (aug 15/16) are likely the last days of the current game.
gizziwizzi, finished on top of this one. (50 suicides? You can't fly buddy!)
I've been making some major changes to the player database and its just easier to start over.
(all you very very bad boys will be added manually to the new database though)
Major additions is team and match score tracking, and additional stats reports.
Reduced sliding stats from 8 weeks to 6.
Added player admin rights, and some custom fields so we won't have to reset in the future for changes.
And fixed a few minor bu...er, procedural problems.
You'll still see it up most of the time but I'll change the name (DK: somethingorother) for the next few days
And it may have a password while I'm doing a testing phase.
Pass will be "dkm2" (clever, huh?). if you wanna take a peek.
Also I'm returning to my old log in of DKM2 instead of DKM22222
(its just shorter and more attractive online ;) )
Sounds like you're really sorting out the features DKM! :-X
Its so nice to see a lot of well known maps on your server guys ;)
Hope you enjoy them same as we do :)

Thanks, I try my best.
I played some Pony Express last night, and found myself lost half the time,
and sniped to death the other half, I think I'll swap it out for Omega.
Lone Mountain might go soon too.
(can't remember why exactly, couple of beers too many and a sticky note
on my desk this morning, "scrap lonemountain" )
There's still room for about 10 additional maps, and a few more that could
be replaced with something else, not a lot good games going lately, which
makes it harder to judge a map.
Just looking at a map isn't enough, need to play for real too.
Yes, Pony Express is my first map and its good for CTD but for deathmatch its full of snipers often. I dont use that map on our servers and I would recommend you replace it by Omega, its much better map IMAO ;)
Maybe you could like map by Tvardy Paola 2 or Monkeybay remake by Tuleby :)

Looking at my list I think I have both versions of monkeybay in there.
I'll have to look into that.... ???
Played tuleby today, I think. good player. kicked my butt good on Omega,
but I got my shots in, and had a few good runs. left a few good bruises on him thou. :)
is it the same Tuleby that joined OWG just now? :)
Yes, its him (czech rep.) :)
Its quite good player, but much better map maker. He made maps and whole Mars mod For Cry 1 and he is member of FCCZ clan for years as one of the admin and clan leader. Good guy. So maybe I can recommend one more his map mp_radio remake ;)

http://centre.farcry2.cz/mapy/radio_fc1_remake___version_2.fc2map
yeah, I have that one running,
if you look on the first page you can see the whole rotation. (and authors)
radio_fc1_remake just doesn't show the V2 is all.
The manager picks a random map of the 51 in the map rotation at the start of every match,
and as long as it hasn't been one of the last 12 played, it gets set as the current map.
Long time before you see may see a map again or the same two maps in a row.
I was amazed to come here for the first time and find myself in the top 10 with so many awesome players on here. I was even more amazed with my ktd ratio score. But alas, its just like the Sports Illustrated effect. I shall be dropping out of the top 10 soon I'd prophesize. But regardless, I shall have a dirty joke or three ready to go at a moments notice. And of course the nonsensical random banter. [I wonder if that's how you spell nonsensical?]
Welcome to the site.
Its all sorted by kills, so its not too hard to stay on top.
I'll be adding a match and team leader stats sheet soon.
Maybe this weekend, I think there is enough data now to show it.
Basically how many times you've finished 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.
in a match, and the same for team.

There you go... take a look at the first post now.
If at least six players finish a match, the top 1st, 2nd and 3rd
for the overall match are given a point and also the top 1st, 2nd and 3rd
are given a point for leading their team.
Its sorted by order of the overall match leader.
Its a little different than just most kills, its who has most influence
in the out come of a match or a team win.
Oh, thats nice! Gj ;)
Can I looking forward to this tool soon, or its still in pre-beta stage ?
:)
I'm trying to come up with an over all best player performance chart,
But I keep getting lost in the math, kill/death ratio, team leaders, etc. to get one number.
My trouble is mostly because it's a judgment call I guess,
What are the most important factors that make a "good" FC2 player?
some thoughts?
That will take some thought, but a multi-variable, differentially-weighted equation might be the solution - the first step is to decide on the variables you want and what their weights should be. You already have a good start in the kills/deaths/leadership variables. Now the question is what other variables make a good MP player - unfortunately I'm not a consistent MP player so it is difficult for me to make constructive suggestions, but is there some way to measure stealth, or weapon type, or some kind of methods approach?
It can get as complex as you want, for instance taking into account the time between kills (with the weapon type linked to that time with if-then statements) so you can differentiate between automatic weapons guys and sniper guys. Weight either the time variable or the weapons variable to ensure equality of assessment.
OMG---- brain---hemorhage--->>> BOOM!!!!!
you an economist or something...
its a little dual-core computer server not a CRAY supercomputer... lol
;D
anyways, thats the problem, I can't decide the weights.
Sometimes you take the complex way first, until you realize simple is best.
Occam's Razor
keep those three basic variables and consider team kills a malus. :)
Quote from: DKM2 on September 12, 2009, 11:26:19 AM
anyways, thats the problem, I can't decide the weights.
hmmm.... only two alternatives I can see for weighting once you decide what variables you want:
- Decide on weights yourself because it's your server and your application ;)
- Conduct polls to gauge what the players think is important and weave that into some kind of weighting system.
Just brainstorming and throwing out ideas here, but it kind of depends on how much accuracy relative to the general opinion you would like to have in the results page. The latter of the two alternatives above is going to be the most entertaining because it incorporates widespread opinion. As to complex vs simple equation - you'd be surprised at how easy it is to create a single equation that encompasses all variables and weighting with a series of if-then statements creating the weighting. What kind of data can you collect? One thing that might be interesting is the time a player stays alive versus the number of kills, taking into account what kind of weapon he/she uses and the method of attack. Assessing via if-then logic whether a person is a team leader or player could change one or more of the weighting variables thus leading to precise numerical outcome and position in the chart.
Good luck DKM - great idea that you already have in the two charts you've created, and loads of fun if you could get a sophisticated leader chart sorted. That tends to be the fun part in creating scenarios like these - the outcomes that the computer generates based on the incoming data is sometimes quite surprising, and highly accurate if designed properly.
I'd be glad to give assistance in any way that I can - believe it or not, I've actually written rather sophisticated physiological simulation software in my past history with the kinds of equations I mentioned above. As long as we keep it fun, it will be worth it! ;)
Example;
Kills deaths suicides Match wins Team wins
#1 #2 #3 #1 #2 #3
Player1 500 500 20 3 6 9 8 12 15
Kills / (Deaths + Suicides) thats pretty easy
But to combine it with numbers of times finishing a match is harder
Because there's really no relationship between the two numbers.
I'm thinking;
Total matches (sum of all #1 match wins) (lets say 100)
Matches Teams
#1s times 6 / Total #1s times 4 / Total
#2s times 3 / Total #2s times 2 / Total
#3s / Total #3s / Total
The above gives me this;
K/(D+S) = 0.96
Matches: 0.18 0.18 0.09 Team: 0.32 0.24 0.15
I could just sum them all up at this point, but the number is 2.12, what?
Is that a measure though?
DKM2, maybe just forget about those numbers for a moment, lean back, and think about what you want. Then try to get the numbers that w@&k in your favour. For example, if someone asks you "who's the best player out there?" you will think of something that in your oppinion makes a good player. Like, "he always wins" or "he can shoot around the corner" (impossible hits, great marksman) or "he hardly ever dies in a fight". The next thing would probably be "good at DM or good at Team" and then I can think of players that are great in a duel but lose it in a DM game or great at DM but lose it in a team game. So maybe you can't combine all values. If you have to, prioritise them. If you have K/D, Match Wins (MW) and Team Wins (TW) probably check for what is most important for you to be on top of the list, and try something like k/D is 50%, TW=30% and MW=20% -> 100% total.
Hope that helps :)
I'll take your advice..
Went to the beer store, now I'm leaning back, thinking....... mmm good. :)
;D :-X
Found the problem with player log in messages not showing for some people.
Your killer placement does get sent but sometimes if your name
is too long it goes over the 40 character limit.
More than 11 character names this happens to, so I removed a few. (4)
That should take care of it for the most part.
Hopefully I can load the fix at the next restart, Ubisoft is supposed to do a
Upgrade/change to the servers tonight to stop crashing and map download probs,
May be I can do it then, I hate to shutdown while peps are playing.
I just had an idea. ya, ya, I know :)
Maybe adding some in game user commands, (jl, for Jackal's Lair) such as
"jl-wkills" would display your current weekly kills.
"jl-tkills" would display your total kills of all time.
stuff like that.
That way you could check your kills, etc. right in the game.
Dunno what other commands people would like to see, something to think about.
Anyways. I have a few other things to clean up in the meanwhile.
I added the player command "pc-wkills" (short for Player Command)
Just type it using "t" like any thing else.
It'll return your current kill total over the last 6 weeks.
(only you will see the result, others may see command though)
I'll add more commands soon, it's online now, works for me.
btw, fyi. I zero'd my stats., my server and all......
I don't know if this is possible or if it even is useful to MP players, but how about a command that reveals either your relative position in the rankings, or perhaps who is above you either by name, score, wkills, tkills, etc?
I like pc-wkdr (kill/death ratio for the last six weeks), its very usefull value. :)
Great job DKM2 :-X

Yeah that's an interesting idea.
I could have a command that displays the next player above you
and also "kills" needed to over take them.
Also another command that shows the one below and how close they are to you.
(Can search up and down in the database.)
Btw, all the commands show realtime, as in right "now".
The web pages only update once per hour, so it's a little out of date always.

Interesting... knowing who is just above you and immediately below you (and by how much) might make for some interesting game play. Might just change how you plan your next moves through the game on a moment-by-moment basis.
cool idea indeed... good for competitive players :)
Yesterday I got chance to play on your server and commands w@&k great. When I leaved server, I got k/d ration 4,2 :)
The w@&k you've done with your server is excellent, DKM, as is the MP server info and map rotation you display in your news block on the FC2 MP page. I'm impressed with the number and variety of in-game commands you have available. FC2 aficionados are missing out if they don't make use of your server - great job! :-X
Thanks.
I think most are missing out though and only see the
in-game message when people log on like;
"Wecome, Joe. #99 on OWG Charts!"
I've almost given up explaining the player commands to people,
I guess it'll take awhile for people to get used to it, since no other server has it.
edit: I had to look up "aficionado", thought it was some strange american dissing thing.
lol, ;D
I think its even more than great job ! :-X
Iam sure that if UBI would spend same ammount of time with proper server admin tool, our "live" would be much easier :)
I looking forward for last version ;)
Ubi would be way better off, and FC2 MP much more efficient if they hired DKM2 to take care of MP server issues :-X
Funny, Ubisoft is opening an office (800 people) this year
right in my backyard (so to speak)
I'd link the post on Ubi forums, but its down! LOL.
Strikes me as a company with an upper attitude though, "we rule, you suck"
Least where I am now I can talk to the CEO, "hey, how's it going, "good!"
"see my new stuff" , "no, show mel" , "cool".
that's about 50% of the job, good leaders and communications, structures. I'd rather have a nice boss and less money than a ba$t@rd of a boss and big money.
Hi there, I am brand new here, i am also using that server extender and wonder were the stats get uploaded when after game console is saying:"stats are uploaded to openworldgames.org" <-

Hallo und willkommen auf OWG, GCT-Schokoo :)
That would be DKM2's area of expertise; I'm sure he'll sort you out, mate :)

That message is just the End of Match message, defaulted from when I ran my server.
To remove it, just delete the message.
I doesn't actually upload anything until you configure is for a web site you have ftp access to.
That configuration is on the Manager config section, you'll need some info from your web site admin, usename and password etc.
Just sticking my head in to say welcome, GCT-Schokoo :) Wie geht's?
