Dunno, forums are still up so I assume few are still around. I do recall a couple of years ago they had issues with migration or database getting corrupt or something. But in either case, as long as archive exist it's fine as that site is really a fountain of knowledge when it comes to mapping, scripting and related.

Re: RTCW Map Downloader (8 replies, posted in RTCW Coop)
http map downloads are planned for one of the next releases, but as there is almost no custom content for rtcwcoop this is pretty useless at the moment
If you really want to find skilled and the hot shots of mapping you should check the base site - one all used to learn, and with some luck you may hook one of them to port their magic or others to coop.

I know what the connecting and loading screen is, I just thought that he was referring to connecting and used "loading" as label. Was just a miscommunication.

Since I can't post multiple attachments..if you wonder why you need that bar, it's because of various text being displayed when connecting and has to be readable...example:

Re: Third person view improvements (2 replies, posted in RTCW Coop)
It's possible but not practical as rtcw is by all accounts pure blooded FPS.
Better alternative is to fade crosshair in when looking at certain angle -> When front view (looking your player in back) up-down-left-right offset is lower then 25% etc.
You have to remember that game models are 3D and you can't really pull headshots or any positional based damage when you're looking from bird eye view, not to mention latency it would introduce when looking behind player as while crosshair may be on enemy player model is still showing it's back to enemy.

Re: Splatterlader Server Banner Generator (4 replies, posted in RTCW Coop)
I think he means images generally. Don't get me wrong, they're nice but I agree with fretn. Generally when I see images like that in signatures I if possible disable signature showing all together on that board as - first they lag the topic if there's to many replays with users with big images, secondly it draws attention from the topic which shouldn't be the case.
Personally, small scalled images always draw my attention since i read what's all about while I skip big ones, what I mean by small images is something like: http://dc304.4shared.com/img/JUaN5PXw/s … 0pq9j2.gif (random image I've just googled)
Don't take it as critisism, just personal preference.

Re: Bug & Feature List (97 replies, posted in Bug reports)
I see no reason why g_inactivity would alter anything since it's by nature a MP tied cvar that's tied to MP event (kicks player after being inactive for X sec ( set in this cvar )), tho fretn at some point may re-used it to something COOP specific or default SP re-uses it in a different way. I can't atm fire up my dev since i'm, well lazy But i'm sure fretn can drop a line about, if there's anything new tied to this particular cvar or I'll check later on when I'm less lazy.
Tho as a side note, if I recall right I used it without any problems on our hosting when coop was on.

Topic: wolfX >> rtcw MP enhancement (5 replies, posted in RTCW Coop)
Fretn was kind enough to allow me to post here about my pet project so cheers for that!
--------------------------------------------------------------
About
WolfX is basically an enhancement of rtcw MP. It's a side project I'm wasting time at and meant as upgrading rtcw multiplayer to more up to date standards and slowly move to standalone so it could be freely distributed. At the moment it falls under same rules as COOP. Project uses some of property licensed assets so you need to have original game (how, where..well up to you..).
Release
Project came quite same way but has a long way ahead. Today I decided to finally after some internal tests decided to release it to public in alpha stage as I simple can't test it more alone.
Brief summary
Following stuff has been added on top of main game:
- Bloom effect
- HTTP downloads
- SQL support
- IPv6 support
- Bug fixes (DrDos, timescale and other exploits are fixed).
- Authorization process for MBL (master banning list) that will/can be extended to XP tracking system etc..
- Admins with admin levels and commands assignment
- A lot of settings so game can be configured as main (default rtcw) or more like shrub (poison, dropping knives..)
- New gametypes like deathmatch, sniper mode, gold rush (sniper mode and gold rush are in dev process atm)
- Complete UI redesign (currently only in color design)
- HD textures pack (currently optionally later on as core pack)
- Plenty more..
More info
I'm poor at writing documentation without creating a mess or writing a novel but still, you can check release file and follow links there etc..
Forum: http://rtcwx.com
Release file: http://repository.rtcwx.com/wolfX/release.txt
Release file contains links for source code and game download as well as all extra info.
I also put 2 servers up so users can instantly test it. One is DM (deathmatch) with typical rtcw 1.0 settings and one is OBJ that's configured to be somewhere in between main and shrub/1.0/s4ndmod alike settings with poison, smoke and few other stuff enabled.
Please note that I generally wont be using this forum for wolfX project and any questions can be addressed to that forum, I'm just announcing it here since it's generally the same crowd due being an rtcw franchise.
But at the end of the day, this is COOP forum so let's stick to it.
Cheers,
Nate

Re: *Help* I can't start RtCW Coop ''^3menu file not found'' (10 replies, posted in RTCW Coop)
One of this days I'll have to sort all the cfg's since most of time I just write from memory in which there's tons of unreferenced files and projects
But yeah, procedure is legit just stick with right names - that fretn mention.

Re: *Help* I can't start RtCW Coop ''^3menu file not found'' (10 replies, posted in RTCW Coop)
It sounds you have structure messed up. Try deleting wolfconfig.cfg out of wolfCOOP\main folder as well as in documents folder as it seems it's looking for stuff at wrong places.
Also, what's sp_pak4.pk4 suppose to be? Afaik default goes up to 3 - are you using special edition version or something?
Alternatively, you can try with repeating install process with coop. In that case do it correctly that's;
1st: Delete wolfCOOP in your documents folder as well as game it self (wherever you placed it).
2nd: Download the game once more.
3rd: Extract the game and instead of dumping whole rtcw folder in just copy/paste what's suppose to be in and that's:
pak0.pk3
sp_pak1.pk3
sp_pak2.pk3
sp_pak3.pk3mp_pak0.pk3
mp_pak1.pk3
mp_pak2.pk3
mp_pak3.pk3
mp_pak4.pk3
That's all so ignore the rest of the packs and files.
As a side note, make sure you copy packs listed above inside your COOP\main folder. Then run the game and see how it goes..
GL!

Re: Some help.... (15 replies, posted in RTCW Coop)
Note that this are not rcon commands but admin commands. Rcon commands can be any cvar here is an example;
rconpassword "password" - to login.
rcon "cvar" - etc: rcon g_gametype <value> etc...
While admin commands would look smth like:
/login "password" - to login
!restart - In chat, note that command availability is depended what level admin has and what commands owner of server assigned to that level.
Alternatively, you can try !list_cmds and if it's enabled by server, it will print all commands admin of that level can use...
To see what command does, replace ! with ? like etc ?restart
One thing you should note and understand, rcon is much more powerful since it can change any aspect of game and even kill it or crash it etc..so use it with caution as well as don't give it all around. For most of common commands, you can set in admin settings, any specific command can be assigned to any admin level by adding it to appropriate level a?_cmds cvar..for etc level 1 in a1_cmds ..you can add in any of the admin commands listed on page as well as cvars if you want like g_allowVote etc..that way you control what admin of that particular level can do and use as well as if g_extendedLog is enabled, trace admin actions easily since for rcon log you need to go thru lines of log to find it etc..
Hope it's clear, if not read the page I wrote about admining and fretn posted above.

Re: Some help.... (15 replies, posted in RTCW Coop)
+set fs_basepath /games/rtcwcoop_01 +set fs_homepath /games/rtcwcoop_01 are completely unneeded.
fs_game wont work either atm since it's buggy. Also you're missing dedicated. Here's an example from our panel:
./rtcwcoop_ded.i386 +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip {ip} +set net_port {port} +set sv_maxclients 128 +sv_pure {cfg1} +coopmap {cfg2} +set sv_maxcoopclients {cfg3} +set com_hunkMegs 196 +set com_zoneMegs 96
Note that {} are smarty anchors that are passed by admin in panel we use but should be self explaning. Also coopmap is not needed if you have it in server tc... what's important is dedicated (1 = lan, 2 = internet) and for servers running multiple instances you will need to set ip and port... rest is not need it and it's optional. As for gamestartup, dunno if it's going to work tho.

Re: csrss.exe takes anormal CPU during rtcwcoop_ded.exe (8 replies, posted in RTCW Coop)
Coop will always take more cpu than any other rtcw since at ai respawn it takes 128 slots and SP was never meant as MP so it takes heavier impact on hardware as it counts much more things thus uses more cpu cycles then regular stuff. But on new hardware it shouldn't really be a problem.
P.S. Gangsta, I and friend are hosting games as a side thing so if you need it let me know.

Re: 0.9.3 is released (42 replies, posted in RTCW Coop)
Custom pk3's are supported by default. It just depends if server has it on since that's handled by pure. And no, you can't just let everyone use their own skin packs...what's stopping one to remove textures from walls then as well as completely renders out pure handling...instead it's depended if server is either set as unpure then any pack can be loaded by client or if it's set as pure but in that case, server has to have that pack on it as well.
you only require sp_ prefix tho in general, it should load stuff anyway, strange zzz didn't work.
125 2012-12-03 14:25:06
Re: 0.9.3 is released (42 replies, posted in RTCW Coop)
Isn't weapons mod just a skin pack? If so, just dump it in your main folder.
Note that in that case it will only work locally or on unpure servers..unless if servers have it on as well that is.
