So I totaled my car over the weekend. A deer jumped in front of my car, I hit the brakes, my back end spun out and I crashed into a tree. I am lucky to be alive, I barely have a scratch, but my hand is very swollen so I won't be able to play for a week. Pictures are attached of my car, poor Revan, I loved my Honda </3

BUT...the engine took no damage I am buying another Honda for cheap because the guy can't fix his engine. So I will just take the engine out of my car and put it in his A blessing in disguise.

If you see the pictures of my car I attached, I am lucky to even be alive, and have no major injuries. Keep me in your thoughts as I heal. This is a major financial crisis right now

link in 1st post is Unity Web Player | Continuum

OH MY ******** GOD THIS IS AMAZING! SO MUCH POTENTIAL!

OP, I want to help you develop this. The port of textures is amazing, and that's just the web player, I can't imagine how an optimized application would look and run! Please message me, give me a project to do to help, ask me what I know how to do, I want to make this a reality. You could port the entire Crossfire Universe to an updated engine, and the name Continuum is perfect, continuing the game into the next generation. I am on board 100%

Something none of you probably know, I am a music producer, and I own a group called OrganicSoundPro. We were pretty popular in Connecticut a few years ago, but ever since my best friend, one of the artists, was killed, we haven't done much. You can check out one of my favorite songs below:

Can anyone guess who I am? :)

Good point! Thanks for reminding me, I haven't used the forums in almost 1 year! I have edited my post to put the image in a spoiler

My idea is to PUT the map indicating how to get out of the lexicon

Here is my map that I drew by hand a few years ago, hope it's useful for anyone who finds this thread! I remember getting stuck here, had to be rescued haha. special thanks to the DP clan for that This system does contain the HF Champion Shield, one of the best shields in the game!

You may need to follow the link to see the raw image, but the post looks very clear to me.

Confirmed means I confirmed the route 2 times. I did not complete the map because I eventually found my way out and called it a day. I flew here one day, and just spent about 1 hour flying around to make a map for myself. Be careful not to die It's not the most accurately scaled map, but you get the idea"

I just saw this thread OP. I am intermediate with Javascript, know how to compile in netbeans, and have MAJOR experience with databases, MYSQL especially. I see that you are looking to use the Unity Engine, great choice lot's of support.

I am on board for this project, and willing to work for you. I'd start with a single system open sandbox, I think copying the FL model is a great idea. A few trade lanes, a few commodities, 1-2 ships, a few weapons, and the user interfaces. There are plenty of designers who will do models for free, I know a few graphic artists...I want to make your dream a reality.

Once you have a fully functional sandbox system, you can start applying that structure to expand. Just to make one system that complete would take a few months with a skeleton crew, but I think it would be a great experience, I can help a lot and learn alot from you, and would like to embark on this journey with you

10/10, enough said.

I'm all caught up, and can now explain everything. You did an amazing job with the story the past year, and I like that you kept me close by your side throughout it all. I will build on your details from my time spent beyond Canis, cutoff from the rest of the galaxy in a self proclaimed exile. The answers are coming my Silver Tounged Devil, and the threat is unprecedented.

Oh, by the way, I'm pregnant. Guess who the father is?

I do have the Hydroxin Thruster, and just finished assembly of my cloak device now You're right about the cargo space, I can only hold 40 cloak crystals. It's obviously not going to be able to smuggle more than a few pieces of BMG's if I had 30 cloak crystals, but I will definitely have fun with the roleplay! Now it's a game of cat and mouse lol.

After shooting the drones the Ion Cannons are now friendly I will make a video soon with another new character. The speed with thrusters is 250, 600 with cruise. You may think it is a dissatisfaction, but when you can easily evade Ion Cannons, aliens in the Inner Core, and prove to be a tough target in PVP, it's very satisfying Travel is also faster, imagine the time it saves from SOL to the anomaly lol. Pair that speed with cloak, I don't think you can stop me from smuggling now

I have done the impossible. In fact I challenge anyone with access to this ship to try this:

Fly through the GMG Hypergate with the Ion Cannons shooting at you.

I was trying to solo Ancient Drones after upgrading this ship with Armor, HF Champion Shield, Shield Generator, etc, but could barely survive. This ship is fast, but not best suited for combat. Since I took the Junker bribe and shot the depots in Manhattan, I figured I would see if I could fly through the hypergate. I have not been to SOL yet or taken the Coalition bribe. At 20k distance, I see the Ion Cannons are not hostile, I make my approach. Sure enough the GMG base was hostile, and the ion cannons open fire. Even though I knew I would die, I figured I would try to evade. Sure enough, I had no problem evading at 600km!

After dying about 20 times, I was finally able to figure out the timing of their fire and cool down, and engaged the jump when I was within 100m. I didn't believe it! This ship is fast, so fast you can make it through the hypergate with ion cannons shooting at you. Just a little practice and patience, and you can too!

I want to make a video of this feat, because it does take some skill. If anyone else can do it and prove it, do so here! You deserve recognition! I have some pictures that show how many times I died and then me in the inner core, and a picture of my galaxy map...but I want a video so that my claim is undisputed.

I got it to work by running in administrator, I'll keep this in mind if I have any other issues that might be related. Thanks though!

Thank you for the kind words everyone. I will need a few days to learn the events that have happened with the clan, so everything that is in place now will remain the same until then. I would like to thank those who helped with the construction of the StarForge, it looks amazing!

Though it was not planned, I will certainly incorporate my absence into the role-play story. Maybe I ventured to the depths of the Inner Core or Canis and learned the secrets of the universe? Stay tuned

Hey everyone. I just did a clean install of everything and used the client available for download from here:

https://swat-portal.com/forum/…2-0-Client-Edition/#files

Everything went smooth, but I have an issue related to the "trying to read update information" pop-up. I saw two posts so far, one referred to try another link, but I did not see the link in the post.

My issue is after that message pops up, it closes, and the Crossfire Launcer re-opens, then the pop-up re-opens, and it's an infinite loop until I manually kill the process in task manager.

I haven't been rick-rolled in years, so I'm actually laughing my ass off! Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I went on a limb and ran as administrator, problem solved!

Long time no see everybody, really long time. I won't get into the details, but life gets the best of us sometimes. I'd like to apologize to the community for the shame and disgrace I've brought upon myself for this. I'd like to extend this apology to OP, I made a commitment when I chose to start a clan, and I haven't lived up to it. I'd especially like to apologize to [RA]PortalEarth for his continued dedication to [RA]. I have many posts and things to catch up on, but it seems like he's kept things going somewhat.

By all means, his right to lead is undisputed.

I found my multiplayer ID in a notebook (thank god), because my old computer was destroyed in a flood (one of the many things that happened). I'm going to spend the next few hours trying to reinstall the game, the mod, and hopefully can get back on today.

I miss flying, I miss smuggling, and most importantly, I've missed all of you. I'm glad to see many familiar faces are still around. This is an amazing community, and I hope it lives on.

With Love,

Revan Oner

Being a huge KOTOR fan (obviously), I tried so hard to get into this MMO, I just couldn't. Being immersed into the universe was amazing at first, but the gameplay just didn't drag me in. I guess after playing KOTOR I and II over 40 times, you have a certain expectation of what the game should be, and this just wasn't it.

Message to everyone:

PortalEarth is hereby in charge of [RA] during my absence, and I stand behind any decisions made by him on not only my behalf, yet on behalf of the entire [RA] clan as whole.

Most of my clan knows, but I need to communicate this to everyone. I have had a very rough time the past few weeks, most of March and the issue's will continue through April. My brother was arrested, may lose custody of his child, I have had issues with work, my car needs over $1200 worth of work, my dog had a spinal injury and needed surgery,I just bought a house and money is very tight...literally everything that could go wrong at once did.

But, there is also good news. My car is almost fixed, I start a new job making more money, the house I bought is bigger and perfect for me and my fiance, my dog is getting better and everything is falling into place:

"The universe tends to unfold as it should..."

I hope to be back full time and active again the second week of May, hopefully by May 11th or so. Thank you everyone for your prayers and kind words, I can't wait to be back. See you in space mates!

Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R

Id like to start this thread with quoting the Crossfire server rules.

You know, thats a rule... not a kind advice or suggestion.
I am aware that some clan members think that this rule does not apply to them. Its actually not even a big deal finding out which clan members have untagged chars or accounts.
This is a violation of server rules and this also is a violation of the RP rules. It is unfair to other players and respectless to those players which try to keep proper roleplay running somehow.

We gave clan leaders the ability to re-tag the chars of their clan members. I hereby make the clan leaders responsible to ensure that this job is done.
People that are in a clan have to wear clan tags on ALL of their chars.

If that is too inconvenient for the clans and their members... no prob... I can also start deleting such chars and accounts.

And now the 2nd topic.
Building clan bases is certainly a nice feature that we introduced for the clans and their members.
Not so nice is when people deliver goods to these stations using trains and then these trains simply get destroyed when empty again, just so they can respawn multiple systems away, ready to load up the next cargo delivery there. This way people dont have to fly back and save 50% travel time.
Problem is: this is a clear exploit...

Which leads me to my next quote of the server rules:

So how do we deal with this exploit?
Do we ban these players or do we downgrade the clan bases again?
Maybe I should notify all other clans and tell them to guard the jumpholes and jumpgates to prevent that any deliveries can pass through (not only via trains).

You can consider this my first and final warning on this matter.
If i find out that people keep doing this shit, consequences will follow (not only for the person using this exploit, also for the clan involved).

Oh, and just a friendly advice.
Dont even dare to come up with any explanations, excuses, justifications or finger pointing. I react very allergical to bullshit.
Thank you.

I know I have been gone for nearly a month, and I won't be back until the middle of May, but I'm glad you addressed these issues. Thank you. I know you pay attention to what's going on, and it's about time everyone else realized it. There are certain limitations with this game and the way the mod was created, and it's unfair that some of these limitations are exploited.

I will be honest, I have taken advantage of the "suicide" trick a few times, but not for the building of the base. I will respect the rules and ensure that my clan does as well. Sure, it might take 3 hours to fly across Altair Sector or the Inner Core, but the whole immersion of RP is that WE ARE IN SPACE! Be grateful that there are Jump Gates/Holes and trade lanes!

It's hard enough for my clan because I have been absent, we have only a few members, and I am glad you addressed this issue. Other clans already have an advantage having more members, it's nice to know that all those members can't abuse the "suicide" trick with 10 people 10 times per day and get ahead of everyone else.

I am not singling out anyone or any clan, but OP makes a great point.

Understood. I place bounty every week on him, and he is on KoS list. I'm just annoyed he breaks rules of conduct when engaged in combat. He's broken our system rules more than once. He also already had several issues with GR, even my GR for my clan.

I agree, please close and delete this thread.

Please move thread if needed.

Ok, so it's been about 3 weeks before i made this forum post.

Player "Smart-X" has violated the [RA] clan rules more than once. Each time he was hailed before I placed a bounty, in English.

After 3 weeks, my clan and myself has attempted to clear the clan dispute, per our system rules he/she must pay $5,000,000 credits and we will forgive him. Each time he logs off or goes AFK (away from keyboard).

Today I followed him after again going through Omicron Gamma without hail or message to [RA] member, he is now level 52. After 1 hour of chasing him, he logged off. [RA]PortalEarth and the |DP| clan (both GR police) have caught him breaking sever rules, you may message them for info.

I did not care until he was level 45, I respect freelancer's and leave them alone. Now it seems a game of cat and mouse. Other clans have messaged me and said he is Omicron Gamma when we are not online. I can only think he does not speak English. See image attached. I chased him to Vega, he was killed by NPC then I followed to Omicon Alpha.

If nothing can be done I understand, I am just annoyed this player always logs off or changes to another character. I use clan leader command to check player/account ID. Per our system rules, we always message to resolve the issue for 5m credits. He always ignores and runs away. It really is not a big deal, but I respect every other clan and server rule, I just expect same from other player's above level 50.

See if you can rip the ISO from your disk and mount the image using Daemon tools. Totally legal so long as you don't upload your iso to the Internet. My original disk is so scratched I had to do that. I also use Windows 7 64bit, so like someone suggested, make sure all updates are installed as well as direct x 9. Maybe run in compatibility mode?
