I was thinking if i could delete the modded maps and connect with the maps as they were before the mod I could get on but i cant. Hey splinter please dont turn off the server i have another idea how to get on.

tell us then

If you can get this to work David, you'll be my hero. I'm still delaying the tourney though
The server will remain operational to test our ideas.

I'm not the one in charge of the server David. Talk to Dauntless about it. sry man.

Splinter cant you disable that modified content blocker?

No, I've tried, I turned Punkbuster off but you still get the same message.

Damn. Daunt remember that server with the heli mod? It was running serverside right? So why cant we do the same? Heres the thread i am talking about http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=66830 Maybe you could ask him how he did it?

Put me back on the list because I just notice that the tournament has been delayed to the 21st so I should have video card by then.

Splinter this maybe a server issue. If you could run this a server side mod i think it would resolve the content issues.

Allright I was testing the ways i could try to get in without that unmodified content thingy showing, And i got to thinking if the airmaps server with helis was server side mod then why could'nt we do the same here? So i thought maybe if could start my own server i could see what's wrong, But i could'nt find the button to make my own multiplayer online server, So i brainstormed a bit and thought maybe it was the choice of sides that was causing the problem? I mean insurgents vs rebels in dalian and fushe? That cant be right. So here's my final conclusion. The server when we connect is reading the sides as china and U.S. and we have insurgents and rebels instead. So the server is reading the wrong data because of this. I think if you can make your own custom map that would alleviate these issues. If i'm then hey i'm wrong i'm still learning how to program. But i think it's worth trying. Oh and if your wondering why it works when create a local server? My guess is that since we have a server side map aswell it's using that one instead of the client which we use to connect.

Snake make a custom map and run it on the server see what happens.

No because the server showed up when i searched for it in sf only. I think that the maps are still reading the sides as p.l.a. vs u.s.m.c. instead of reb vs insg. But i think i have a plan. Can you do me a very big favor?

Exactly.

What David is saying is what Im thinking myself, only that its not entirely related to the armies in the map.

Its related to the fact that the entire map is obviously modded, yet theres going to be two "Dalian_Plant" maps in the server itself. Even if one is in "xpack" and one is in "bf2". Which is why I tried changing the name, and despite K3's help in that, it refused to work (as per my screenie!).

Im gona keep trying and hopefully the name change will work. Just need to figure out why its not loading the textures when I change the map name.

Or, reading the announcement bar today, we could maybe ask for the EU server

EDIT- ask how they did it sorry.

They are the special forces armies.

And the players are from all over two continents.
To David, I havent managed to join your server, even with the IP
