Happy New Year everyone!
OK, so some of you may be using different calendars to me so this might not have the same relevance to all, but I hope everyone has a safe and fun New Year!
By the way, 2016 is the Year of the Monkey, so I know at least one resident admin will be having a lucky year! 2015 was the Year of the Sheep, and guess what; New Zealand won the Rugby World Cup!
Cheers to the lot of you and let's hope our beloved game thrives in the year to come.

It looks like you have walked through the back of a magic wardrobe.

Я жаловался администратору под ником Lector, который сказал мне типа успокойся всё нормально... в итоге что бы сесть хоть раз за полчаса на самолёт мне пришлось убить игрока bot за что я сразу был забанен! Это что за дела?
27\12\2015 I Decided to play with friends as usual. In game there was an inadequate person in our team under a nickname of bot which simply stood 2 hours on our base and in the beginning I was killed, then didn't give me from artillery to shoot aboard the plane to sit down, put the jeep under me. I complained to the administrator under a nickname of Lector who told me type calm down everything normally... as a result what to sit down at least once at half an hour aboard the plane I had to kill the player of bot for what I was banned at once! It that for affairs?

我們還可以參觀紅燈區，如果你喜歡？阿姆斯特丹簡直就是在整個荷蘭的最好的城市！同意嗎？
Why the Chinese translation?
Did you have a surgery you didn't tell us about "Mr" PiPer???
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! Hope everyone has a great festive season and you all get some time off work/school to relax, enjoy, and most importantly, eat!
It is the season to forgive. Remember Seargent at Arms? He was a troll who changed his ways. Whatever happened to him, did he stay on track? It must be that it's Christmas Eve that I'm feeling so forgiving.
Btw, I don't think Jesus Christ is an appropriate name for a player to have.
It was the el alamine map. I landed my plane, and was fixing it at the edge of the map. hardly banning material.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX52 is my name. Thanks
How is your name read phonetically?

It seems like "just a blank screen" is something I had seen during the Windows 10 beta. But when I installed on the July 2015 initial release, and most recently when I installed on the November 2015 release that was just made, when launching BF1942.EXE for the first time I get Windows dialog prompting me to add the DirectPlay feature that the current application is attempting to use.
So maybe it is still a "random" or timing issue, and I've just been lucky the past couple times that I've installed on Windows 10. But yes, it is possible to get a prompt instead of just a blank screen.
But it's certainly possible to "pre-emptively install the DirectPlay feature before launching BF1942", and you already linked to one of the pages that shows how to do this. Are you saying you still get a blank screen even though you manually add the DirectPlay feature as described in https://windowsforum.com/threads/turn-o … 10.205952/?
-Trench
No, I got it when I first upgraded to Windows 10 a few months back and again after reformatting and reinstalling last weekend. The first time I followed forum instructions and sorted it out, but then I forgot and had to recheck the second time too!
It might be because I'm booting the game from Origin that I didn't get the Windows prompt. It's no big issue though, all sorted.
whats hash , may i have a hint of how i find this ?
Hash is special number that your copy of BF1942 uses. I'm not sure how to check without having access to seleron or remote manager though.
I found this:
If it's a public key then someone else might also be using it. If that other person was up to no good and got banned then you would be banned too, since you have the same key. Don't change your key just yet because you could end up being accused of "evading" a ban, which would make things worse. Wait for another admin to check your situation.
Unfortunately it'll be a few hours before I get home and have access to the USA ban list. Hopefully someone else can help you out before then.
Are you using a public cd key?
All you guy getting Windows prompts to run DirectPlay. The only thing I got was a blank screen!
OK! Done!
Remote manager: Works fine with a simple copy-over.
BF1942: I copied the "settings" folder over and my old profile, names, favourites, etc came up when I loaded the game. That's: Battlefield 1942/Mods/BF1942/Settings. However, you only really need the "profiles" folder: Battlefield 1942/Mods/BF1942/Settings/Profiles.
Note: If you reformat or upgrade to Windows 10 then remember to turn on DirectPlay. http://team-simple.org/forum/viewtopic. … 625#p68625
Don't know what you've got going on there Monkey. I did a reinstall with Windows 10 a week ago, cleaned out a lot of gunk from my PC and I'm pretty happy with how it's functioning now. It sounds like you have something seriously buggy going on though. However, what I read was this:
"Blah, blah, blah, Winston, you have a window of time at the start of each new game where I can't move and I'm a sitting duck. Try to knife me before I log out. Blah, blah, blah."
BTW, remote manager works fine with the same settings, pass, user, etc if you copy it off and paste it back after reformatting.
Cheers Bud. I'll give it a go and report how it went.
the settings folder i guess.
Thanks.
Just copy over the whole folder and replace the one that's there?
I've been searching through old posts, I'm sure I've read the answer before but now it's nowhere to be seen. Perhaps it was lost during the Great Forum Offline'ing earlier this year. Anyway...,
What files/folders are necessary to copy over after re-installing BF42?
Thanks good people,
WS
- Your player name.
"P" (literally just that letter).- Date and time you were banned.
Approx. 15-12-15 @ 19.50 GMT+1- Server name.
SiMPLE | BF1942 [FRA]I honestly have no clue as to why I got banned. It was a CTF game on Gazala which just ended, when I wanted to connect to the server again while the next map was loading, I got the message that I had been banned.
Thanks in advance, hope I can play on the server soon enough again
That's the nicest ban appeal layout I have ever seen!
He became King of England in 1016.
SPOILERS BELOW:
Serebro2064 accidentally typed "1015" instead of "2015". I thought it would be funny to reference an event from that time so I mentioned King Cnut's coronation. My attempt at humour was not understood.
I've never been there but when I was in primary school one of my teachers had previously lived in Port Moresby for a year or two. I remember playing with some of the things she brought back, like a shield made from a sea turtle's shell.
Some years later a missionary came to my high school and told us stories about his time living in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. He lived in a giant tree house that was more than 10 metres off the ground. It was that high for protection from attacks by other tribes. The missionary showed us a large carved wooden club that one of the natives had given him. apparently it had been carved with the sole reason of killing an enemy who had killed this guys kin. The story went that the guy took weeks or months to carve the club while reciting the names of his family members who had been killed. Eventually the missionary taught him God's peace and the guy forgave his enemies and gifted the club to the missionary since he didn't need it anymore. I was always a little skeptical about this story though.
Another story was in the New Zealand news a couple of years ago. A couple were hiking through the Papuan jungle and stopped by a river to have a swim and rest. The girl was swimming while her boyfriend was sunbathing. Suddenly arrows started to shoot into the guy from out of the jungle. Turns out a local guy had taken an interest in the girl and decided his best option was to deal with her man the old fashioned way. I know there's a lot of people on this forum who'd be quick to say "bloody savages!", or something to that effect but the guy who did this was considered to be a nutter by the locals too. Similar to the nutters we all have in our Western countries.
As far as I know the capital is the only reasonably safe place.
I meant to clarify that too. I believe AA is fine but no other weapons or vehicles, including snipers and artillery.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Seems like a nice idea. So you want to finish editing till the end of 1015?
In time for the coronation of King Cnut?
Aqualung wrote:I might add that the treatment of Natives in the US is not comparable to how New Zealand treated their Natives. New Zealand's treatment is/was bad but the US's was/is way worse.
While that statement may be true, it is also misleading by not telling the complete story. Two points on that:
1) The Maori were numerous, relatively centralized in the upper half of the North Island. They had also rapidly assimilated firearms (imagine that...) since the early nineteenth century. In fact, the 1810-1820 period saw significant inter-tribal conflict amongst the Maori, with extensive use of firearms. This meant early European settlers could not act with impunity, and without military support from London, were forced to accommodate the Maori, who could at any time drive them into the sea. It also didn't much hurt the cause of the Maori that they were more than willing to kill and EAT THEIR VICTIMS - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyd_massacre for details.
2) The Maori adapted quickly to the settler presence, trading happily and, for the most part, accommodating of the settlers. Having settlers near your community was widely seen as a way of adding to ones mana (importance) because of the manufactured goods they brought and the protection from other warring tribes the settlers presence provided. This meant London had very little reason to intervene, and, when combined with (1), meant there was a relatively positive relationship for the early years.
The "big picture" is (almost) always important.
Yea I agree.
Just one thing. Natives eating their enemies is something you widely find in narratives from British colonist. It is most likely British propaganda and hence should be treated carefully.
Aqualung:
More or less that's what we are taught in history classes but it's import to note that there was a small but influential movement of missionaries who were motivated by a desire not to see a repetition of atrocities like those committed in North America and Australia. The missionaries took on a paternal role and often acted as mediators between Maori and the crown. They also raised Maori concerns with their influential contacts back in London. If New Zealand had been colonised before North America and Australia the treatment of Maori may well have been different. We all learn from our mistakes and now the Brits are one of the strongest proponents of human rights. They've come a long, long way.
Zody:
Cannibalism in New Zealand is well document in both European writings and Maori oral tradition. There are numerous Maori accounts of intertribal cannibalism as well as primary source accounts from European missionaries, explorers, traders, etc. The European accounts are not only from the British either, there are many from Britain's European enemies of the time as well.
I completely empathise with the emotions you guys are showing, Pit and Pleiades53, and likewise I have no time for people who blindly follow ideas that I find dangerous and false.
Religion has served us well for thousands of years; providing rules, structure, meaning, etc, but it has evolved in the West. We take the good and leave the nonsense: "Thou shall not kill" Sure, no problem. That completely makes sense in today's world. "Thou shalt not wear a garment of differing sorts, as of woolen and linen together." What?! But polyester gives my woolen clothes strength! Go back to the stone age! Sharia law is scary because it's strict and draconian and many of the rules don't make sense in today's world. Not only has it not evolve but it threatens to return us all to a darker time.
However, rounding up Iraian citizens with temporary visas and deporting them during the Iran crisis is one thing, but rounding up American citizens based on their religious beliefs would be a constitutional clusterfuck that would would end up being bogged down in the courts. I can't see it succeeding legally because there would be too many interest groups opposing it, the NRA for example, would argue that if the First Amendment is cast aside, then the Second Amendment; the right to bear arms, could be next.
My fear, for America, is that vigilantes will take matters into their own hands and when anti-Muslim vigilantes are operating in any Western country it's the Sikhs that suffer; it's always the Sikhs that suffer. Sikhs are targeted because they wear turbans and look like we think Muslims are supposed to look like.
So whatever you do, please think it through, protect your family, your country, and your neighbours.
Dunno Pit. There's a lot going on and I think your solution would cause a lot more problems than it would solve. There are loads of issues, like what about non-Muslim Arabs, how do you know they're really not practising. Do you expel them because they "look" like Muslims?
Also, how about America's muslim allies in the world? Remember IS/Daesh is just one type of Muslim, the Kurds, Iranians, Iraqi Shia, etc are also Muslim but a different kind of Muslim, and they're fighting against that style of fundamentalism. By treating them all as one group you might end up making IS/Daesh more powerful by giving all the groups a reason to band together.
Finally, would this be a one-way policy where all Muslims are persona non grata in the USA, but Americans still live, work, visit Muslim countries, or would all US citizens, military, business, medical, tourists leave Muslim countries too? Can you imagine what the consequences would be if the US military suddenly abandoned all their bases around the Muslim world? There would be a scramble by Europe, Russia, China, and regional powers to fill the vacuum.
And how would the US economy survive if all American citizens were barred from doing business in the Muslim world; something like the Cuban situation but with 1/5th of the world's population. Suddenly there are no US oil companies in the Middle East, and no construction or tech firms in Malaysia, Indonesia, or Nigeria, etc. I think the economic ramafications would be disastrous.
There's a lot of reactionary sentiment going around at the moment but if actions aren't thought through they might just pass more problems on for the next generation.
We do indeed live in interesting times.
I don't think my ping or connection has changed.

I have played here for awhile, it just seems the bots are super tough anymore.
i could be wrong. :beer:
I hope you are not insinuating that beer is problematic. I'm usually an easy going guy but I stick up for my friends; and if you're having a go at beer, then buddy, you are fucking with my best friend!
Please advertise your event on your own web pages and stop trying to poach players from this one. If players want to play this mod they will visit your forums so stop trying to invade this one!
You are like one of those annoying people that come around or call trying to sell you stuff they are usually told to F*^K OFF.....................Take that anyway you like.

Gen. John J. (Black Jack) Pershing has the answer to Islamic terrorist attacks on his forces during the 1900 Philippians resurections:
HOW TO STOP ISLAMIC TERRORISTS . . . it worked once in our History . . .
Once in US history an episode of Islamic terrorism was very quickly stopped. It happened in the Philippines about 1911, when Gen. John J. Pershing was in command of the garrison. There had been numerous Islamic terrorist attacks, so "Black Jack" told his boys to catch the perps and teach them a lesson.
Forced to dig their own graves, the terrorists were all tied to posts, execution style. The US soldiers then brought in pigs and slaughtered them, rubbing their bullets in the blood and fat. Thus, the terrorists were terrorized; they saw that they would be contaminated with hogs' blood. This would mean that they could not enter Heaven, even if they died as terrorist martyrs.
All but one was shot, their bodies dumped into the grave, and the hog guts dumped atop the bodies. The lone survivor was allowed to escape back to the terrorist camp and tell his brethren what happened to the others. This brought a stop to terrorism in the Philippines for the next 50 years.
I like to use bacon strips to make a bookmark in the Koran. When I read the words of the devil pig fat is the only answer..
So to stop a terrorist you must become a terrorist.
This seems like a slippery slope...,
