Well there is one solution left and i know this will work cause it happened to me before Re-download the mod (it may have gotten corrupted somehow whilst downloading) but do this after a format of your pc (preferably your windows drive only ). When installing FL make sure to restart after installation to have it work with no problems. Then install FLMM (think 1.3.1) and then install crossfire mod 1.7 to the flmm directory (it should detect it by default). Then after that, launch CF by clicking on the desktop Icon of FL, and let the Launcher download the necessary updates. If it still doesn't work then nothing else will work as this is how a clean installation works, 100% clean on every level.

P.S. also try installing the CF1.7a patch after the launcher is done if you still get wierd problems like connecting for example.

The following is being typed by a player who isn't a SP or event manager.

I have to agree with Lucy, Huor and Gunny on this matter.

Being server police is about preserving the peace (whatever peace there may be left after a bad happening). These things will happen cause unfortunately the Earth is filled with jerks as such.

However we CAN prevent such stupidity from happening by following simple rules given to us and listening to what event managers and SP's ask or tell us.

Why are clan system rules and server rules so hard to find on swat? How can a new player understand quickly what is correct?

That is already a downfall statement. When you luanch from New York with your first character on CF there is a GIANT board a little to the left of the first trade lane in front of you. Its really hard to miss plus it gives a link at the end of it of a site where you can go and read it yourself and should you want to know other clan system rules then just go to their site and search for it there. PLUS any new player should understand them quickly as its a simple request/rule. If you cant understand it then one should (and im being blunt here) be a noob for a day and ask questions. Its the honest way and people like it when one is honest.

Going around and making the game not fun for others and disturbing the peace is unnecessary....I don't see how anyone can find that fun.

and another thing, noticing SP's and event managers is not difficult. The badge is embedded in their names and on their accounts on the forum beneath the avatar section. If you still don't know then just ask....but for future reference I'd like to qoate Huor on who is current SP's. And im sure you all should know by now that Lucy is one of the event managers.

Thank you for reading.

I will see you all on monday

Hey there new guy

Well every other server is prolly dying cuase they dont have hopes for a new mod to have reason to play for and prolly got bored with the same things. Also might be cuase the communities cant seem to get through hard times if there were any.

The only real reason I would say is 100% is prolly cuase of no new mod to look forward to. Freelancer is the oldest online space game that is still alive and lifespan depends on how quickly someone gets bored with the same things over and over.

Thats one thing I have to agree with that Swat community has. There is always something new happening, people never leave forever and tend to come back after a few months, CF is extremely popular and attracts new members to keep the community more than alive and not only that but the entire SWAT community is rather BIG ranging from allot of space games. One gets curious about a game called Crossfore 1.8 when its emailed to you

In short, if communities are dying, then swat/crossfire will most probably be the last to die 2 years after.....thats just a guess I really dont think it will die the community is too strong

Edit: OP - another reason other servers that "hate" your server is dying, is probably cuase the wheel turned. What comes around goes around

As some of you might be aware already, I have returned, my CF is working perfectly and when I came online allot of questions arised to me.

Sooooo I just want the latest news from everyone if possible except anything involving CF 1.8 since ive read everything about it

I just want general things such as is DP still alive, who is DP's current alliances, who has KoS towards clans (know of Radu's status since he shot my train character down) and anything else that might be valuable.

Need to catch up with the server news again and I intend to stay for quite some time this time

Maaaaan I cant wait for 1.8 to get released. Althoough on the other hand I can cuase rushing work down never looks good. (looks at my own work -_-")

GOOOOOOOOD job OP! "100% thumbs up!"

eerrrr, I'll be honest I remember the 60 mill I owe someone....guess that was you however I don't .... really remember the 10% interest per day

I have a train ship with the money on i still remember it...think there's about 200 mill on it. Be sure to catch me if you see me online. I ain't running after chicks

Helloooooo again everyone in the Crossfire Community

K so feedback what happened to me. I was suppose to make a re-appearance on 30th November 2008. The reason I didn't is a) I was enjoying myself for the fact that I finished school completely and wanted to have allot of fun in December and B) even if I could I didn't have a choice as my PC decided to show my the middle finger and gave my motherboard a voltage jolt to the heart....basically put - weird noises followed by black smoke. I have worked hard in the passed 2 months at nights mostly and have found a new motherboard. With that said I am returning to the CF community for the ..... 3rd time i think it is. Hope that I didn't miss too much important news

P.S. I am posting on my mothers pc atm, and have read up allot of news on the cf boards and server news as well as CF production. Great work on CF 1.8 so far OP You have my vote all the time!

A few days ago I was reading the Forums, catching up on things I have not yet read for the past 5 weeks. I then came upon Phoenix's recruitment post and it was there where I flamed everyone unnecessarily. I had no reason to get aggro like that and I humbly apologize for my rude behavior in that particular thread.

I have no excuse to it tho as I did it and am a person that faces my consequences head on. My actions are my own and I wont blame anyone for it. I could've requested it in a nicer way than what I did there.

Again - REALLY REALLY FROM THE DEEPEST POINT IN MY HEART - Sorry for my utter rude behavior and unnecessary action towards everyone in that thread.

Bit late for me to notice but non the less.

happy birthday OP [prost]

sigh.....As much as I like everyone who posted in this thread allot, it also makes me so mad (almost said a bad word there [3] ) to see that these people (whom half of them complain,moan and groan about problems people give them) are the very same people that is cuasing DP to not gain membrs through this thread. GO ADVETISE YOUR OWN CLAN RECUITMENT IN YOUR OWN DAMN THREAD!!!!! [18] [18] [18] [18] [18]

This thread was originally intended to stay as a recruiting thread for newbies to feel free to post if they want to join.....but I ask you, with all this JUNK in this thread ALL pointing towards DP, WHO WILL WANT TO JOIN NOW.......

SOOOOO I just have one thing to say, THANKS A MILLION GUYS [22]

Next time I see your clan recruiting I will make sure NOT to read it and NOT to put junk in it so that other new commers can go in and decide FOR THEMSELVES if they want to join that clan THROUGH READING what the clan leader has posted.

O and one more thing - all of your nice comments came to mean one thing to me and this is how I feel. [instagib] [head] [rail] [rocketwhore] [rocket] [railgun] [sniper] [wall] [wall2] [85] [70] and just plain [3]

I think I made myself clear.....I will try and recruit members for DP elsewhere and hopefully it wont contain this much junk in it. Personally I think this thread is useless and can be locked for future reference to people to take note of why not to post junk in a recruitment thread!!!!

Thank you

Kind Regards

WOOOOT - I've just finished my Exams for this term and with that said, entered a 2 and a half week holiday

I shall come back to CF for a short while now and try to increase DP members and train the new recruit's.....so ill probably be online later today or tomorrow.....

I just hope I still remember how to fly and fight properly in CF

sigh....Well if OP really does take away CF then I wont be surprised.
I've seen this many times before in other communities, tried to solve em but I ended up making things worse and the community then dies after which people only realize what they've done and then its too late for them to rectify their mistakes.

I don't know the problems and nonsense some people do to this community (other than what is murmured around by the people in this community and posts on forum) but what I do know is that by now OP is so fed up with all of it that nothing that we say or ask will make him think twice once he decides to close production on CF 1.8.....I mean, all it takes is the push of a button and then its gone, forever!

And the only reason OP is still (dont know for sure) working on it is becuase he is trying he's best to keep the community alive, yet we get our smarta$$es and all our hackers and shit....I say ban em as stated in the rules and keep the community live. We don't need Lions between our cattle's.

And to those that keeps asking OP to when CF 1.8 is going to be released as there is a release date, not that I have anything against all of you but.....what exactly have you given in your spare time to the community to actually deserve the right to expect OP to it release CF 1.8 asap? OP rules, I say release it when its done...take your time OP .... You only have 1 life and I'll be damned if I see it wasted just like all the other community leaders.

Well when last I checked....the latest and newest release date is for August as stated in the newsletter if you folks took the 5 minutes to read through it

But yea...OP if there is any problems with a$$holes that you want to get rid of....just ask me...ill take good care of em [70]

Just so you all know and not wonder why the heck I'm so quite, because of the fact that I'm finishing school this year, I have reached the point in my life where I cannot afford to slack down in my studies and as such, my CF status for the next 4 - 5 weeks will be extremely rare.

I shall be online on msn at most, CF maybe once or twice a weekend.

Anyways, wish me luck as I am not only studying but trying to hand in all my outstanding work before the dead line which is this Friday.

See ya all out there and remember to watch the skies

meh, ill take that image, resize it and still have the quality at the best it can be

Anybody can be sick in any kind of way

It just depends how much of a good or bad type of sickness it can get to....and trust me, i've seen many

Anyways, Even if im late at posting this.

Hope you get well soon OP and that you'll stay well for as long as you keep yourself to be!!!! [prost]

Well, I formatted my PC yesterday, installed XP and everything on my pc that i didn't need is gone. It's like starting brand new again

Anyways, i installed XP with service pack 3 yesterday at around 3 o clock, but i couldn't find my mobo drivers......so I ended up struggling to find it the entire day yesterday online
