Ok, I'll finish the move after lunch, sorry. There is a little problem getting to run BFServerManager, a 32 bits program, in Devuan Linux 64 bits, but I'll sort it out.
Hold on, please. I'll let you know when it is finished. My monitor had a crisis today, it is going blank sporadically, it needs to warm up.
It's not ready, Hydra. Check tomorrow morning around 10:00 CET.
Sunshine, it is not that bad, just a small 5ms increase, you won't even notice the difference. Some may have it worse than you. You should move to Europe if you want a lower latency.
Yes, Whoopz, it is incredible how it changed drastically. Well, it is not that incredible, if you let all the scum roam free in the streets of Paris. I visited Paris many years ago and it has nothing to do with what it is. I also visited London at that time and got badly impressed. I can only imagine how it is now.
You are right, Whoopz. Paris has become, literally, a shithole. It is unbelievable.
Everyone questioning about the ping, you can test your ping to the new server, just open command prompt and type:
ping -c 15 163.172.13.221
I have a slightly lower ping to the new server and the route is about the same to the old server: Lisbon -> Madrid -> France.
Sorry for not finishing the move this morning as promised, had to compile the kernel, which takes some time. I will make the transition, first thing tomorrow morning.
SiMPLE servers are going to be relocated to Paris tomorrow morning to a new and better (I hope) dedicated server. For the transition to be as smooth as possible, I ask you to update your servers and favorites lists, as soon as the relocation is made, and spread the word to the rest of the players about the change. You will be able to join the servers from the old IP address for some time, but it is not recommended, adds an extra latency to your connection, although small, and can get you kicked from the server any time. Another advice, you should use the hostname team-simple.fr or play.team-simple.fr to connect to the servers, as it will always point to the new IP address.
New server IP address 163.172.13.221 , the ports will remain the same (14567, 14568, 14569 and 14571).
More updates tomorrow.
If moon made it to the list, I should be there, too.
Done. Added a few more tickets in those 4 maps, and reduced Omaha beach flag capture time to 10s.
Hello,
You got banned for 3 days for attacking enemy's main base. Let's wait for the admin who banned you to reply, if you don't mind.
Lecter, you need to use a scientific approach to fix your lag. Use a wired connection to your router, test in single player, test in different servers, test in other games, test with different computers.
Indeed. I disabled all DVD drives and got same "Please insert either Battlefield Vietnam CD" without team-simple change now. Then again with the team-simple fix I get it even if the drive is enabled.
Ok, I guess I can fix that. Battlefield Vietnam files will be reviewed in a few weeks.
I don't recall exactly when I started playing BF1942, it was either 2003 or 2004, I believe it was in 2004, I will have to check it, since I still have the downloaded game stored in an old disk. I had not played any Wake Demo or Secret Weapons Demo, back then. I was downloading lots of pirated games and decided to try out this WW2 game, since it is my favorite time of history. The moment I started to play Battlefield 1942, I got hooked immediately. The ability to drive vehicles and the big maps with lots of players was amazing. And the music and sound effects were great , I remember getting pumped up just listening to the music when joining a server. I played exclusively in no-cd-key servers, because I did not buy the game (yes I am cheapo). I could sometimes connect to official servers and those were happy times. I only got a valid CD-key much later because a friend offered me the game as a birthday gift. I recall playing in a russian server, and maybe some of you russian players may remember these names: Natasha and TTT. Those were very good players, I do remember because I got killed a lot by them.
15 years have passed, time does fly by, but imo Battlefield 1942 is still a game with potential, too bad the developers (EA Games) never cared about it and followed the money.
Bulge and Tobruk with uncapturable allies base, all right. But, please, specify how many tanks each side, light and heavies.
Good shot, but, like Black Mamba said, the bot kill ruined it. You got shanked, Whoopz.
I enjoy reviewing high scores and videos, regardless of the players. Browse through this topic and you will enjoy it, too.
I was awed at first with your artwork, thinking this Cpt. Price guy really has some talent, but then I saw you just copied from somewhere. You are a sham. Do something original and genuine, even if it is not as good as you wish.
All right, but Tobruk and Battle of the Bulge maps have to be modded for fewer players. What would you change? Like, what should be the number of tanks per side, flag positions, or any other modding ideas.
You are getting worse, 12 deaths.
Ok, you should be able to join the server.
Hello there,
Unfortunately, you share the same IP address range as a cheater. When was the last time you joined the server and your previous player names, if you can remember?
All right, your ban was issued about almost a month ago, you could have asked earlier.
What was the name of the other team member who started it, if you can remember?
Instead of qtracker (which is pulling the plug behind gamespy emulation soon) it uses qamespy.com (Q instead of G, so easy to hex edit)
Currently qamespy.com simply uses qtracker. Only *.available.qamespy.com is handled by itself (always responds with 0xFEFD090000000000000000). If qtracker goes away, I will add own implementation for BFV, and perhaps other QR2/enctypeX games (so, not bf1942) at one point.
Are you responsible for qamespy.com? That is bad news about Qtracker, which means some other old games will have no master server.
Gamespy Emulation is Shutting Down June 20th, 2017 @ 12:47AM ET
Well, I started off this evening shutting Qtracker down.
After playing Ark for a bit, clearer heads have prevailed and I'm just shutting down my Gamespy emulation. Unfortunately the minority is ruining it for the majority and my Gamespy servers have been the target of many attacks within the past few years. This has resulted in downtime, lots of wasted money, countless wasted hours (that could've went towards the new version of Qtracker), and tons of stress.
So, all of Qtrackers Gamespy emulation servers will be shut down on 8/1/2017. This should give mod authors plenty of time to move to other solutions.
Hi.
I have World War II Mod installed for Battlefield Vietnam and noticed that if running the game and then going to Options->Custom Game in the menu, the game asks to insert a CD. Same thing if running the mod with+game BFV_WW2Mod
and then trying to join some server.
I tried old crack from Joker and there is no such problem with that.
So I did a diff on the exes, and found out, that team-simple crack has changed
E8 E7 FE FF FF
to
B8 01 00 00 00
near the beginning (line 3460 if using vbindiff) and reverting that change makes custom game also work.
It's also the same in original exe, so what was this change supposed to do in team-simple crack? Everything *seems* fine after reverting to original.
I think that change is to not call a function that checks for a CD-drive and instead return a success value (eax=1), which means there is a CD-drive. I may have missed other calls from that function and did not patch BFVietnam.exe correctly, I will review BFVietnam files in the future. Anyway, if you create a virtual drive, with VirtualCloneDrive, for example, it will prevent that error. BF1942 and BF1942 SW Demo also have that stupid CD-drive function check.
You can ask an admin in-game to run objective or ctf maps. Those game modes have not been modded and they have no bots, unlike the conquest mode maps.
Is okay to lose to opponent. Must not lose to fear!
You stay focused. Your best is still inside you. Now time let out!
The results will be revealed tomorrow night. The poll is still very close, a few more votes can be decisive.
Please, vote in this videos section if you haven't yet. The poll results are now very close between 5 of the 9 videos.
The remaining polls will close next weekend and I will wrap up everything, afterwards. Thank you for your participation and taking your time to appreciate these BF1942 videos.
No need, it is closed.
From your screenshots, gameservers.com is using BF1942 Linux server files. Probably, selecting that BF1942 Free v1.612 option will allow you to have both Origin (v1.612) and Retail (v1.61) players in your server. You can test this by joining your server with a BF1942 v1.612 client and then with a BF1942 v1.61 client. Download from http://team-simple.org/download page Battlefield 1942 v1.61 Retail executable and Battlefield 1942 v1.612 Retail executable and replace your BF1942.exe file every time.
If you cannot join with both versions, you can easily upload to your FTP folder the patched Battlefield 1942 v1.612 Linux server binaries from http://team-simple.org/download and it will work.
The only way I can think of, right now, is to check maplist.con file for game.setCurrentLevel line. That is actually how BFSM gets the next map to send as a server message after !nextmap is typed in server chat.
A BF1942 server reply to a GameSpy query on default port 23000 only shows current map among other things (player scores, kills, deaths, ping, etc.), but BF1942 server could be modified to add the next map field also.
Hello,
The code is very similar between BFVietnam and BF1942. If you fully understand all the changes made to the BF1942 server and client code, it should be fairly easy to port them to Battlefield Vietnam. I can only help you in two weeks time, though.
