Crossfire 1.82 Progress

So how do I put it on a hard disk?
Or even better... How and where do I download crossfire without using the FLMM? As I have seen that you can get mods like that.

Donwload it using FLMM ?? You mean activate it...

Well, whatever you've done wrong wtih FLMM, as you said , deleting flmm withou deactivating the mods... there's an option at flmm's menu on "Tools", press "Restore backups" , but first rename the folder where you have CROSSFIRE installed so it don't destroy the game. Then you activate any mod normally on a new folder you choose.

... I hate this idea ..but if it is now so big, would not be better release update as full 1.82 mod?

If it's practical, I think it will be better to release the 1.82 as a patch of 250 or so MB, than to repack the whole deal again into a 2 to 2.5 GB file.
However, I do recognize the fact that new players will have troubles again then.

Both types then, if that is possible?

• 1.82 standalone installer (2-2.5 GB)
• 1.81 to 1.82 patch (some 200-300 MB)

me too

Let´s reinstall if it will be easier for new ppl., cause thats the group we always like to impress, is it? It will look like more important to have a complete new installer

If 1.82 has to be a new mod to install/activate instead of being a patch, does it mean all personal data (characters) will be lost?
Or will it be saved on server?

just note your AccountID to reenter it after you reinstall FL and try to launch a MP session...

even late CF 1.7 server sometimes crashed besides normal announced restarts, probably just someone not closing the game and restarting the launcher,

and, judging by what ive seen so far on the repair for 1.82 list, im not the only one with AV issue meaning im not the only one whose av-s delete freelancer.exe?

thanks for all your continued efforts OP...

if I know you, CF 1.82 will be ready when it's it's ready...

if there are real coders - mainly c/c++ - outside and you have time and some good knowledge on assembler than your ability is needed. At least it would be nice if you could give us (OP or any other staff) a hint about you.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

1 - the game get started

2 - files gets downloaded (new patches, updates or whatever, everytime you start the game new)

3 - you get the option to pick 'start multiplayer'

4 - you reach the main menu of the crossfire mod

5 - you continue to pick whatever you want 'singleplayer' - 'multiplayer' - 'options' - ...
if choosing multiplayer

6 - you get asked and warned about risks and whatever 'continue' YES / NO

7 - you get asked what type of multiplayer you wanna play 'LAN' - 'INTERNET'

8 - you get to choose the server you want to connect to (in case you picked 'internet' in the previous step)

9 - you select the server and click 'connect to server' (or doubleclick on the wanted server)

now comes my thought

isnt it possible to implement a file in that kind of package which gets downloaded everytime you start the game, which is unique (and a new one gets created everytime the server restarts/crashes by itself)
and gets sent to the client which is downloading those package (like a cheat protection)
and if the client has a different file already, the server refuses to let him connecting to begin with (this could prevent people from forcing the server to crash, because of NOT restarting the game after crash)
and then having this particular file getting deleted (client side) everytime when the game gets closed, so that spot for the file will be empty and when things get compared, no file will be detected, so the server 'knows' that this client did restart (and not just reconnecting) ???

just an Idea I have..
