While I understand that you, OP, don't like people doing things without permission with the CF database, I think that we should have the capability to do games with friends and family through LAN instead of having to log onto the SWAT server and waste bandwidth and increase the load of the server. I like playing online but there are times I would like to get away from all that and play with friends and family only. Could this be possibly considered in the upcoming release please? I mean after all the mod is free so then could it not be possible to allow others to host CF servers and set their own rules and such?

no doubt the decision will not change. I can 99% guarantee that, 1% is that Op has a change of heart

yeah, right minus 1% and you'll get the actual number
actually I think that no-LAN is kinda good. it's just another secret/mystery of CF :] -
We all have the ability to create a LAN game, the resources are right there in the game directory, but where is the create game button...I just thought this might be something to consider in the future for something like a LAN party. Anyway, regardless if it will or not happen the idea has been put out there.

OP keeps his work very safe as he has worked very hard for it so no chance of getting Crossfire to run on LAN.

If there is going to be a 2nd CF server then it will be an official SWAT server that is administrated by me especially since Crossfire requires a bunch of tools and scripts which wont be released. Running a CF server or lan without those tools will end up with constant crashes every 2-3 mins.

I do know about that but it wont allow me to run CF over LAN, sadly....conflict of versions you know. Oh well.
