Crossfire 2.0 Tests

    Before somebody writes "me! me!... pick me!" The tests will be done by the dev team only.


    We are at the point that all major topics for the CF2.0 development are completed and this week ive spent my time preparing the release of the mod.
    The mod however was tested mainly in singleplay so far.
    We did some online test months ago and the mod ran stable but Id like to do some final online tests before the mod can be released.
    I also would like to use this time preparing all the settings and testing the new server software.


    So in the next few days the CF server will be used for such tests and might not be available to you.
    When we are doing tests it will appear as CF2.0 test and when the tests are done CF1.9 will be available to you again.
    The test certainly will last a few hours per day ... you can use the rest to play.


    We have to do these tests now since we are a bit under time pressure. If everything runs well you will get CF2.0 in 1-2 weeks.

    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,
    Twenty percent skill,
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

    Crap timing
    My inet just died


    New hardware will arrive monday

    Well can't get any worse than this ..only better :D also more time = better preparation is the way i'd see it has :eeeek:

    Now i take pills should i be worried? :brainsnake:
    Now I walk through to the other side
    Former life a memory
    Everything inside is amplified
    :bscared:

    I'm no more patient, probably, than the next guy.
    Nevertheless, I'm very happy to see the responsible, thorough, craftsman-like approach of getting the new version as ready as possible before release.
    I'm very eager to see and play 2.0, but I'm content to wait until the devs feel it's ready.
    I'm sure that it will have been worth waiting for.

    Hello everybody,


    Im here in the wrong topic i guess but still.
    I played 1.8 last time, wanted to start playing again, but 2.0 in couple of weeks.
    My question, what will be transfered from our chars into 2.0 except money?
    In 2.0 we have to explore systems from start?
    I probably should w8 for 2.0 and then start play.
    Tnx in advance for your answers

    Hello Cr0x, there is not planned char wipe, so if your char(s) exist now (1.9) then you can fully use them (included moneys)

    Cant get worse?
    New hardware will arrive monday but i meanwhile got the chance to test it and the prob must be somewhere else
    A technican will look into it on tuesday
    Still there is no guarantee that it will work


    Right now no further work can be done on the mod and the available testing time was very limited before this mess already


    This time is wasted and could mean that we have to delay the release by several weeks in worst case

    Hope for the best, expect the worst ... Murphy's law works worldwide ...

    This may be a silly question OP, but why are you under time-pressure? The community has waited long for this and i am sure they can wait 1-2 weeks more than expected. do not rush it please. take your time and prepare it well and with a bit of luck you can release it at 31. august :D

    Hi guys,


    me again :)
    I just wanted to create char with name "Cr0x" and it says there is already a char with this username on server.
    Can it be that it is my old char few years ago?
    If it is, is there any possibility to re-activate it or smth, im little bit confused about this.
    Would appreciate some help ?
    TNX

    Best laid plans of Mice and Men..... Electronic gremlins have always interfered at the most inconvenient times. I believe the community knows these kinds of thing can and do happen and they are out of our control. There is light at the end of the tunnel!

    @ CrOx


    Yeah, seems that your char went to "stasis§ and is still there.


    Any chance, that you might have written down your old account number ??? (If not, it would be a good advice to do so next time you create an account ;) )


    Other than that, perhaps a polite requesting OP - after CF 2.0 release - might be a way to "resurrect" this char.
    Until then you will have to create a brand new one, perhaps using the 0(number) instead of O(letter) or numbering them : CrOx1, CrOx2, .....

    ok, thats the situation


    i still have no i-net at home and currently can only be online from my office PC or mobile phone atm (which clearly is no joy)
    There is absolutely no known timeframe when i get i-net back (since Telekom refuses to call me back or to tell me whats wrong; and practically every promise they made so far was broken)
    so... I might be back online next week.... or next year


    In the next 3 weeks Huor can not work on the server software and since we could not do the online tests so far we have some minor problem now.
    So right now we only have the choice to wait with the tests until i can go online again.
    Huor offered to provide the server software as it is so we can at least test its current state.
    That means we can at least log the errors and test some settings.
    If we encounter bugs or crashes we certainly have to deactive some components until they can be fixed.


    Personally I am a bit worried about all the new settings since alot stuff is meanwhile highly dependent on the mod settings and require that I do final changes on the systems. I need to figure out how everything works first before i can really say how much still needs to be done.


    The mod itself is ready (singleplayer wise). Its working fine, has been cleaned, optimized and prepared for release.
    You can expect that the download file will be 2.5-3GB big (depending on the final compression method that we will decide for).
    The installer for the mod has been improved and actually is ready aswell.
    The mod comes with several new tools.
    1. The CFNoHud tool (which also was in CF1.9) -> the new version will be working better
    2. Crossfire Maps - a small tool that displays the sector maps
    3. Crossfire Widescreen Fix - this will apply an alternative Widescreen mode and a correction of the aspect ration in cutscenes (but in most cases the normal widescreen mode should be enough)


    CF2.0 comes with a new launcher version.
    Unfortunatly I discovered some bugs 2 weeks ago. Utrack already tried to do fixes but its still not working as intended. Since he has not been online for a week I have to assume that he is in similar troubles like me.


    As soon the last launcher issues are fixed and the online test are done (so i know which final changes need to be done to the mods systems) the final release installer can be compiled and uploaded.


    Features like the dynamic economy will be activated by me short after the mod release.
    Features like the dynamic universe (which I want to re-introduce) will be activated 2-4 weeks after the release.
