About Polycounts BF1942 Desert Combat?

Bearkub: Does the game have the "DC Final" patch? I haven't been able to get in the server. It asks for the password and after I type it in I get "Failed to connect".

bearkub

Yes, it does have DC_Final on it. I double checked the other day when you guys said you were having problems with it. I will check and see why it isn't loading when I get home.

bearkub

All fixed sal. =] Apparently it needed the dc .7 dedicated server files in there as well.

ElysiumGX

Roger that, Wango Tango Foxtrot. DC Server launched. Connection confirmed. Prepare to kick Sgt. Sal's ass. Over.

sal_manilla

Dammitalltohellandback. I keep getting "failed to connect". At least the last time it asked for a password! I can't figger it out! Sumbitch!!

bearkub

get with it Sal! I learned that Grindy absorbs tank shells quite well last night. XD

ElysiumGX

Sal: BF1942 ver. 1.61, DC ver 0.7 Beta, DC Final....nibbler.fastpc.com port: 14567 ? It doesn't ask for a password anymore.

check your firewall

bearkub

As soon as I dig up a link for it, I will get you (Grindy and Sal) remote management to the server. There is a sexy little GUI that you install that will allow you to remote manage. At least that way, if I am not around, you guys will have the option to kick chodes off. =]

sal_manilla

I have all the data typed into the "Add Server" thingy. If I hit "join" it says "failed to connect". If I hit "ok" it says "Cannot locate server". I go into other DC Final servers who are all up to date without a hitch. I have the firewall off but that made no difference and it didn't interfere with other servers when it was on. I'm getting real torqued over here. Grrrrrrrrrr

try that, Sal. You may, for some reason, not be able to resolve the name to the IP. Which is weird, because it even showed up in the server browser for me. *shrugs* Let me know what happens. Thanks.

sal_manilla

Thanks dood....I'll give it a try tommorrow. I couldn't find it in the browser window at all.

sal_manilla

Aaaarrrrggghhhhhh! The IP does the same thing. The server still doesn't appear on the list at all. SUMBITCH!

ElysiumGX

Would it have anything to do with punkbuster?

bearkub

It shouldn't. I am pretty sure I have punkbuster turned off. (I think..) I can't check right now because I am at work and I don't have my remote manager installed on this machine. *grumble*

I'll check that when i get home tonight.

It is set to not do a content check, I know that.

ElysiumGX

I have punkbuster disabled on my side too.

Sal: sometime soon lets try to set up a server for each other and see what happens. I'll host and you can try to connect and vise versa, to find which side has the problem. I'll have some time tonight.

sal_manilla

I tried the Punkbuster on and off....no difference.

Will...what's a good time? I'm open. It's 5:00 pm here
now.
<font color="red"> OK, get this. My server is up now. It's the DC Nutsac-erator .7 IP: 192.168.1.101</font>

BTW if I do a Google search for nibbler etc. I get John and Bernie's wedding page?

ElysiumGX

Oh, sorry dude. The young lady and I went out for dinner.

I tried connecting to your server at 8:40 PM with no luck.
"failed to connect"

not sure if you were still running or not.

sal_manilla

Try it again..I made an adjustment.

<font color="orange"> Cancel that. Calling it a night. We'll figger sumpin' out. </font>

sal_manilla

<font color="yellow">OK....kubber, Will, one more oddity. When I had my server up the addy was different than my regular IP. Wassup wit dat? My actual IP is 69.142.41.219 not the above 192.168.1.101 ? WTF? </font>

Sal out.

ElysiumGX

I tried at 9:25 pm, no luck. Want me to try again with the new ip?

sal_manilla

Will:

Cancel that. Calling it a night. We'll figger sumpin' out.

Sorry dood. I bailed at 8:47. Maybe tonight? I'm running the Quake3 thingy this afternoon at 3. C ya there?

bearkub

that 192.dadada address is an internal LAN address. you have it broadcasting LAN only and not to the net. I think it has something to do with your router...

Hunter

Does anyone play the regular BF 1942...or better yet BFVietnam ?

I tried the DC thing but for some reason I wasn't to thrilled by it.. Perhaps I got so accustomed to BFV and BF1942 that DC didn't have the same style / feel to it. Oh well..

If anyone is interested in a BFV game or two try installing "X-Fire" and look me up ("Hunter0001") (X-Fire is a gaming buddylist that lets you track and or chat with your friends who are playing online games.. Click and join feature make it easy to jump into the same server they are in. I believe it actually has the support of quite a few of the game companies too..)

MoP

I prefer regular BF1942 over DC... that said, I don't even have BF1942 installed at the moment. But it's one hell of a fun game, I wouldn't mind gunning you guys down in a hail of hot lead sometime!

Daz

I forgot about the polyfraggers! I still play classic BF1942 a lot.

MoP

We should see if we can have a game sometime, Daz. I haven't played it for ages though, so I'll suck!
Just for clarification, is the Polyfraggers server running a regular BF1942 server, or is it just DC? Is it possible to switch between the two?

bearkub

It can run either with a very simple change.

Hunter

Now youre talking my language.. I just happen to have a few days off too.. No work, No woman and WAY too much snow (18 ") Im there.. (Thur 3/3) let me know if anyone is interested..

bearkub

Just find me on IRC to restart the server. =]

sal_manilla

Try straight BF1942. I couldn't get in to DC for some reason. I'm ready when you guys are.

bearkub

done and done. =]

MoP

Woohoo! Someone gonna arrange a match? I'll need to install the game... but I can probably get a couple of my flatmates to join in...

cep

I'd love to have one ASAP. Just installed patches, and DC; but I'd prefer classic Bf1942.

sal_manilla

I haven't tried to hit the server yet but how about saturday? It'll have to be early so our euro-fraggers can still be wide awake...... so waddyathink? They are 5-6 hours later than our east coast.

MoP

I reckon I can manage most times on Saturday. 3pm your time, onwards? :P

Gnaah! I just got my BF1942 CDs back off a friend I lent them to, and Disc 1 has a crack down the middle! It refuses to read in my drive!

Edit: Got round it, managed to download an ISO for CD1, then just inserted the real CD2 for completing the install, it seems to have worked. I don't mind "pirating" stuff like that if I already own the damn thing... thank gawd for cable internet speeds...
I'm all patched up to the latest version, should be good to go now!

sal_manilla

Well, I'm in a world o' shit. I do not see the server in the browser and get "Failed to Connect". I don't get it. I play in both reg BF1942 and DC servers. My patches are all up to date. Waaaaaaahhhhh!

MoP

That's weird.
All-Seeing Eye scans it, tells me what map it's running, and gives me a ping and everything... I can even see it in BF1942's server browser... yet when I try to connect, it gives me a "Failed to connect" message... what's with that?

Oh, and I probably won't be able to play until after 6pm your time, since I'm going out to the pub tonight... heh.

bearkub

OK, I will take a looky loo at it

sal_manilla

Awrighty then. I am at my brothers right now. I'll be home around 4ish. I'll check in then. Smell ya later.

Sorry, same problem here. I'm sure it's me but I don't know what. 4:36 Eastern. I'll check back later.

bearkub

OK, I just updated the server to 1.61 and my client and both worked. When you get a chance, try again and let me know what's up.

MoP

Nice one Kub. Works fine now

sal_manilla

Right on! YAY! I got in and it's runnin' fine. I gots to go to the gym right now. I'll see if anyone's playin' when I get back. Prolly like 9:30 EST. (I miss my Apache)

bearkub

Well, poop. Sorry about that Sal. I thought I had put that patch in, but apparently that was what was keeping you out. Enjoy now! =]

cep

Game anyone?

sal_manilla

I'm up any evening for a game. Say after 5 pm EST. Let's get some action and use our own Polycount servers...Yee HAW!!
