Welcome to the clan Finner.... I'm very glad to see you finally in

Welcome back Flipster :mrgreen: Nice to see you in DC server tonight 8)

The map cycle has been altered again, and here is the lineup...sd_durandalobj_wartornps_riverprospeedball4ps_uphamtc_iwojimaobj_thanatossd_forcesdtc_balcomeps_sandblastps_crashtp_mineps_coldwartc_rubbletc_golanWe are constantly updating, so don't get your feathers up if we have a map you don't like. Just simply exit the server and comeback when it is over, but please do not whine about the map in the game...it makes me sick to listen to it

I was upgrading the games tryini to add a new version and it didn't work, so in the process it hosed the DB with the scores. I will upload over 35 games soon. There are a bunch of new ones to add. It =justtakes time, but I will get it.

Opps My "cut & paste" funtion must be broke...anywho, I fixed it Teladro :mrgreen:

Democrats are Communists? How low can my friends from the right go? Well, at least we will get to see EPISODE III Read the fine print at the bottom http://www.fa-thearmory.net/albums/album02/phantom_menace.jpg

It's inspiring to see all the nice things being said here. We truly have a great international community at TA and its servers, and I mean that sincerely and without prejudice. Most of the folks that hang out in the servers are typically decent folks, who manage to act friendly towards each other. It makes online gaming much more enjoyable that way. If they are not nice, we make them disappear What you all have stated is true, and I really enjoy the time we have playing and fraggin together. Also, welcome to the forums "Teladro", and thanks for all your kind words.Lastly, Mr. bangbang, maybe you should ensure your homework in a timely manner, bring your grades up a bit, and do whatever chores you may be tasked with that always makes dad's happy . You make dad happy, and then I think he will make you happy and let you play. easy solution

Hey guys. Just to let you know, I restarted the server a few times (with Jasun's help) to get the DC server to show up in the "In-Game" search engine. It was important so players can see we exist on the radar scope :)It works now...all done :(Thanks for your help Jasun

Hi Matt...nice to see you join us :mrgreen:

Thanks to all who have added their personal screen shots to the TA Gallery "Desert Combat Screens" section. We are starting to get some high quality shots in there. Please, only put quality shots, and not score sheets....you can -place those in the MISC section if you need to, or as an attachement in the forums. Thanks ClaymoreCarl and Shotty for your contributions

Well said and thanks Chaplain....welcome back :mrgreen:

FA is not DEAD on TA. #1 - The server has not been populated over the past few days because Steam reset their authentication servers and we were knocked off the list of available servers. I did not know this until Macgyver called me on the phone and informed of the problem...it has been fixed and the server is being populated once again.#2 - FA is NOT DEAD...TA and FA ARE NOT DEAD. All we have done is add an additional mod to our FA line-up. I played FA for several hours last night, and I plan to play more tonight. I work full time, I work on website, I work on server, I search mutltiple websites for enhancing our gaming pleasure, and I take care of the financial dealings with the web and server companies...too include contacting their techincal support folks. And when all this is done, I enter the game a play for a few hours a week#3 - If Desert Combat offends anyone, I suggest you move on. I work to damn hard to make everthing work...only to get spit in the face.....I may just shutdown the whole project and go fishing on my time off, because all I hear is whine, want, but nobody ever gives.

- Community UpdateGood Day, Soldiers! It's been an eventful few weeks here as we gear up to release the 1.6 patch, by far the most comprehensive patch to date. You'll find a complete feature list for the patch below. As you will notice, it's a very large patch with the full client patch weighing in at a hefty 266 MB. With the addition of Punkbuster, we're commited to releasing the cleanest patch yet. So, please be patient. We want to give you this patch just as much as you want to get it!Patch News - New Content in 1.6New Map - Liberation of CaenLiberation of Caen is a new map for BF1942 owners. It includes a whole new army, the Canadians. The army includes the Sexton SPA and the Lynx scout car, as well as new skins, flags, voice overs, and a new Assault rifle and the Johnson M1941 LMG. The Germans in this map are also equipped with a new scout vehicle, the Kettenkrad. New Map - Raid o­n AgheilaRaid o­n Agheila is a new map playable for owners of the Secret Weapons of WWII expansion pack. This exciting map adds a bevy of new vehicles, including mobile spawn points, stationary rocket launchers, a new tank, new self-propelled artillery, and the Flettner, an experimental helicopter. Modifications to Existing Maps The Russian dive bomber, Ilyushin IL-2, has replaced o­ne of the Yak 9 fighters in Kursk and Kharkov. Battle of Britain can now be played using Objective Mode. Secret Weapons of WWII expansion pack is NOT required to play Battle of Britain in this mode. Invasion of the Philippines has been slightly revised. The Japanese Destroyer has been rotated to face North, giving the Japanese a better chance at the start. The out of bounds area has been pushed back, and ticket bleeds have been slightly reduced. Client Specific Changes/Bug FixesAdded support for Punkbuster anti-cheat software Visit www.evenbalance.com for more information. In-game HUD Player and Map Voting Interface Via Scoreboard To access the new scoreboard features either enter the spawn interface and click the Scoreboard button, or press TAB. (NB- clicking the right mouse button while holding down TAB will give you a cursor- clicking o­n the 'lock' button will lock the scoreboard o­nscreen.) Features of the new scoreboard: Add buddies. Vote to kick players. Vote to kick a player o­n your team (only your team can vote). Vote for maps. All players can be seen through scrolling the score list. Integrated vote dialog to respond to vote requests. Added two new key bindings map to Yes and No for the vote response dialog (default: Yes: 7 and No: 8). Added a new key binding for quick access to the map vote dialog (default: INSERT). Please note that if you already have these keys bound in your custom profile you will need to assign these functions to other keys or use for them to work. Improved Server Browser Support for favorite servers as a separate list accessible from the filters pane. NOTE: The favorite servers list must be refreshed manually to reflect the latest information from these servers. Added button to place server in favorites list. Much better filters and updated performance. Added new filter buttons: Populated o­nly. Favorites. Pure Servers (Content Check). PunkBuster o­nly Server Information pane will now detail which mods are present in the server rotation - Fixed the "Add server" button in the in-game server browser- now works for servers that use the standard GameSpy BF1942 ports. Added button which takes you to the server rental service website. Added LEGEND button (looks like question mark). This details what the main icons represent in the Server Browser Interface. Other Fixes / Changes The game.listPlayers command shows the cd key hash of the local player. Slightly improved loading speed of maps. Fixed sinking destroyer bug. Changed APC exit point to minimize certain exploits. Fixed an exploit involving damage to Aircraft Carriers. Fixed crash bug when a dead bot was thrown through a window or door. Dedicated Server Specific Changes / Bug FixesAdded Support for Punkbuster Anti-Cheat Software Visit www.evenbalance.com for more information Win32 Dedicated Server Implemented Through Back-port of the Linux Dedicated Server Runs in console mode displaying a status monitor with an interactive console. The server uses a different binary than the game (bf1942_w32ded.exe). Status monitor changes (compared to Linux server 1.5): Added chat feedback. Added number of tickets and current round number. Added game state (playing, paused, etc.). Added Support for Mixing Mods, Maps and Game Modes in the Maplist. (NOTE: This is o­nly supported from the dedicated server GUI) IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT NEW SERVER FUNCTIONALITY Please note that all old maplists are incompatible with this new feature and will have to be created again. Running the server with an old map list will not work. As a result of this the game.serverGamePlayMode command in the ServerSettings.con file and the +game command line argument are now obsolete for dedicated servers and should not be used. The Maplist.con was changed to allow three arguments:game.addLevel < mapname > < game mode > < mod >, e.g.game.addLevel Gazala GPM_CQ bf1942** NOTE : the following commands now also use this functionality: admin.changeMap admin.setNextLevel Updated the DedicatedServer.exe launcher program to allow for creation of maplists with the new functionality. Updated Chat System Fixed "chat lag" by streaming messages over a high-priority channel. Added basic flood protection which prevents players from taking to much chat bandwidth by "spamming". Added chat text as messages to the status monitor console. GameSpy/ASE Host Reporting Changes Added (kills/deaths) to ASE score format. Added roundTimeLeft to GameSpy keys. Added reporting of cd key hashes to GameSpy keys. Added active_mods key showing all mods in map cycle. Added content_check key showing content checking mode. Converted GameSpy reporting keys to lowercase and replaced spaces with underscores to facilitate filtering in external browsers. Upgraded XML Logging Format to 1.1 Added support for CD key hashes for players. Fixed a few spelling errors for keys. Fixed a bug where compressed XML logs where sometimes being corrupted. Escapes non-printable characters as bf:nonprint tags. Added chat text messages to the XML stream. Updated Banning System Bans can be set o­n CD key hashes as well as IP addresses. Timeouts can be specified in these ways:admin.banPlayerKey <PLAYER_ID>[timeout] Where timeout can take o­ne of these formats: Omitted or 'perm' meaning that the ban is permanent An integral number meaning the number of seconds the ban will be active (i.e. 3600 means o­ne hour) 'round', meaning the ban is active until the next map An integral number prepended by a colon (i.e. :1234567), meaning the epoch exporation time of the ban (number of seconds since 1 Jan 1970). This option is most usable by external tools. IP address bans continue to work as earlier but include the new timeout options as well. Bans are stored as absolute times in banlist.con. Existing bans in banlist.con will be interpreted as permanent bans. Updated Content CRC Generation Generation bat files are now created o­nly for the mods you select. The new bat files are named getcrc-<MODNAME>.bat. Updated Remote Console Output The remote console now mirrors text written to the main console by prepending each mirrored line by a hash character (#). This is useful to capture chat text from external tools that periodically send commands to the remote console. Please note that if several remote connections are made, the state of the mirroring is cleared so that mirrored console lines can easily be lost. Thus if you plan to use this feature in a tool, please o­nly connect with o­ne remote console connection at a time to ensure that you will get the correct results. Other Fixes/Changes Added installation sanity checking that will tell you about common installation errors such as missing files. The sanity checking is done automatically at startup. Added more readable error messages for common errors such as misspelled level names. The game.listPlayers command lists cd key hashes of connected players when running in internet mode. The game.showPorts console command can be invoked to display the ports currently used by the server. Added overlayPath feature to support running multiple server instances from the same installation directory. To set up an instance, please follow these steps: Create a new, empty directory to hold the instance, for instance C:\Server1 Copy the mods\bf1942\Settings directory from the main installation to the new directory Create a new, empty Logs directory in the instance directory Start the server with the overlayPath argument in a shortcut: bf1942_w32ded.exe +overlayPath C:\Server1 Please note that the working directory for the server must still be set to the main installation directory. Also please note that if your overlayPath contains spaces you will need to quote the path in the arguments in o­ne of these ways: bf1942_w32ded.exe +overlayPath 'c:\path with spaces\server1' (single quotes) bf1942_w32ded.exe +overlayPath """c:\path with spaces\server1""" (note that these are three double quotes) Admins Take NoticeThe 1.6 patch radically changes the format for the maplist.con file. Please see below for details, but note that your current maplists will not work when you update to the 1.6 patch. We've included the information you need to modify them o­nce the 1.6 patch is released

I see your stats here http://www.fa-thearmory.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=PostWrap&file=index&page=http://69.93.1.188/selectbf/index.php There are some known issues with the way Battlefield creates its log files where they are not consistant. Because of this, some log files have errors where the cannot be read properly. I watched a batch of almost hundred log files process, and only notice about 3 such instances where the files were corrupt and could not be parsed. They should have this fixed on the next release Battlefiled *fingers crossed*. This normally occurs if the server restarts or crashes, which I think was more than likely in your case, because the start map (level) begins with Lost_village. Here is also something from the select(bf) setup "readme" file that addresses this issue. You can also visit the select(bf) forums at htttp://www.selectbf.org/forum/ I think you will find most of your answers there Anyway, thanks for playing DC with us...we always like good folks on the server

Go to Desert combat section and read....it has a lot of information

Read message on main page of website (at the top)

No, for one thing, there will be no flame war here...this is not the FA forums. Secondly, TA is not a "Sub-community" of FA... TA IS THE "COMMUNITY". FA is not over because of CAL, which was a joke to begin with, but rather FA is having problems because they are not informing the players of on-going events, and they have a very poorly moderated forums that allow little punktards to flame new FA players....that is why FA is dying.

For one thing, TA has always supported the FA community, and continues to play a major roll in it as well. Just to mention a few, TA has... - Provided one of the most popular and friendly server in FA - Compiled the Linux version that was broke for 2.7a that provided service to over half the FA servers - Provided one of the few map and file resources sites for FA players - Helped endless numbers of FA players with their game setup The "FA community" is not those who frequent the "Firearms" forums, or those who hang out in the Firearms IRC channels. The FA community is represented by the people who actually play the game on public servers such as "The Armory". The "FA community" are all those server owners who spend enless dollars of their own money and time setting up the game so that others may enjoy it....THAT IS THE COMMUNITY
