Common folks, can you stick to Ryleous topic please ?

I think what he tried to do i interesting. He's trying to enhance the game background by doing this post, thus enhancing the whole experience of CF. This might come in handy when you guys wish to attract new peolple to this game. History is for many a dormant passion and everyone is alway up for a good story. from childhood to the rocking chair, ppl are fans of stories.

Please, can we continue building this story for the FL/CF fans ??? Thanks !

Good point, ants are strong for their size ! but i doubt a bigger genetically modifed ant could fly the space and defend my backyard

Always knew you weren't human OP ! The proof is back in this thread, now we have to guess which one of the aliens is you....

I think inspiration from the Nomads would be good. Kind of tantaculus creatures not blue, maybe brown like their organic technology.

And besides, a race that creates another would probably put some of itself in the new specie so they share the same basic abilities. Possibly Nomads were quite ressembling the DK although their genetic code was modified to have a lesser brain to perform the defensive task as good passive slaves.

I might not have the DK's level of intelligence so this may be wrong but if i was to create a species to enslave and protect my stuff i would make it quite resembling to mine cause the human body, from my point of view, is an extraordinary machine capable of many feats. I'm having difficulty to imagine something different than an human do to a human's job !

Good for the invertebrate theory in general, make it ressemble a bit their own creations (Nomads) in shape and color them the same as their technology (brownish).

And -10 pts for the Mon Calamari Admiral Ackbar idea.... Blaster. Their ugly kind already infest SW we don't need to spread their kind in CF too ! Just kidding here, I know you were joking when you posted that pic... you were joking right ???

If you read the forum categories you'll find it but spoiling too much breaks all the fun. I suggest you try playing by yourlsef first and if you're stuck, consult the spoilers...

The goal of this game/mod is to EXPLORE damn it !

Of course the Silver Arrows are a good reference if you have questions or need help !

Cool i think this trick should be stikied if it isn't documented yet somewhere. Many ppl i encounter wish to play their old mod (i.e. Discovery) and the new CF 1.81 but find it a pain to switch between mods so they remain on their old mod and 'don't mess up too long' with CF (from what players told me).

Anyway i'm quoting you on the SA forum right away !

Thx Op. I guess i'll have to do something different from my first option but it'll be okay !

Op, what about the messages sent via the console like "join the ASF". Could you add some new lines for broadcasting info to everyone, everywhere, without requirering them to click on a single button!

Info like Michael's sig about the redundant (but still not applied by everyone) "restart FL after crashes", the WHAT NOT TO DOs to avoid crashing the server until everything is settled and may be a cafeteria menu for this week =D

Hi !

i'm wondering who made the CF logo on the CF server page (http://crossfire.swat-portal.com) ?
I'd like to get a copy of it for a little something i'm preparing for the SWAT community.

And if you wonder why i didn't simply took a screenshot or save as... well its because i want to paste the logo on a precise background so i need the original logo file with transparency please !!

Thanks to the person who made it and would allow me to have it.

Have to say that Pirates of the Carribean is a thing i consider very epical (for modern movie soundtrack).
Action, irony, love, that soundtrack spanning on three movies has good sequences that could fit your "epic" needs my friend !!! Enjoy !

Btw what your want that music for ????

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ttQjm-8OITE&hl=fr_FR&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ttQjm-8OITE&hl=fr_FR&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

yeah just add a . its quite subtle and it won't change anything much from what you can see ! I myself got a char and i didn't played enough with it so it was deleted and the named was still reserved even if the ship is no longer on my account. so i did this :

SA_Discovery_ARROW ==> Unavailable now
SA_Discovery_ARROW. ==> not much diffrence and it works !

I'd like to host race events at various times. Around 8pm in germany makes it in the middle of the day for me and i work full time from 9 to 5 so i cannot hold on to the standard server event schedule.

I wanna know if anyone would play if my racing events were occuring in the evening with Eastern US/Canada time on week days and in the afternoon for weekends (evening also)?

I'd be happy to create the first (i think it never existed before, correct me if i'm wrong) Galactic Championship of Space Formula 1 (sF1). With big rewards to the champion as well as lower rewards for each podium finishes.

Tell me if anyone is interested !

Also my first sponsor request to OP for the rewards.... Please, would you like to encourage this project by sponsoring for the rewards O master ?

If i can't be an official SWAT EM, i'll make a smaller project within the Silver Arrows with public participants to fill the starting launch pad (grid).

There has been some sort of data loss and a backup from 8 days ago was restored (its better than losing everything for everyone). Sry for your loss in this m8 and yo unot the only one !

About your unfairness comment : this problem is frustrating yes, but certainly not unfair towards you ! Remember that this mod is in BETA testing, problems happen and in this case, it happened to everyone. So please, enjoy the game, explore and have fun ! Even if you lost few credits and equip, this mod has much to offer and the experience you got from playing those hours aren't lost.

So i hope you understand and i suggest you lean back, take a deep breathe and tell you : let's have a beer to forget about this !

Alright as for the keepandshare hosting it should now be set to public. i tested the links at first but my cookies log me automatically so i didn't noticed it wasn't public shared without logging-in.

Thx Michael for your feed back !

[thumb] Probably ! It took me, what, 2 seconds to figure it out ! common m8, make a little effort here, its not even a mystery ! Good luck !

Watch it PPL, there's a spoil in this thread !!!!! Required to explain the problem in details so unless you are Op or any bug testers, you should turn away NOW !

Games freezes when

. The game doesn't CTD, it simply freezes on the current frame. It happened 3 times and making the CF server crash at the same time (the first when i encountered them, the other two times was when i reconnected and i found myself back in the middle of the battle surrounded by those

.

Happened in the last 10 mins (if you got a crash log to look at precisely).

ARROW out-

better graphics and backgrounds would be nice.

We got good cartographers here at the SA ! We take the job !

The Silver Arrows would be glad to help with wiki contents. Our exploration missions will serve this task perfectly. However for the coding, i don't think we can be much help sorry.
