It seems that, even if your FPS exceed the normal set values for graphics adjusting all weather effects do not come back such as Snow, rain and lighting.

I have to go into options and click weather on if I remember that a map has snow or something. It's been bothering me for several patches ago. Also, I almost nearly never go under 150 FPS in multi and it seems that weather is always getting turned off when switching to another map.

I even have this set in local prefs

Code Select Expand

WeatherOffFPS = 15.0
WeatherOnFPS = 21.0

I still miss those pretty weather effects.

Is this a mistake no one has noticed?

An old player that used to be "high ranked" in my clan FTD many years ago who goes by "Red" (Do not confused with Red_Devil) has been killed in a car accident in October. About two years ago he disappeared from battlezone 2 all together and was rarely seen online. Since then I would take a look at my messenger to see if he would ever sign on. Today "red" signed on, except, it wasn't red...

(4:41:43 PM) squirrelof09 ---: Hey, I call you Red since that's all I know you by
(4:41:46 PM) squirrelof09 ---: How are you?
(5:08:17 PM) thexxoutsiderx Coleman: who is this?
(5:08:26 PM) squirrelof09 ---: You don't remember me?
(5:08:50 PM) thexxoutsiderx Coleman: Honey, this is Red's mom. I can only assume you have not heard
(5:08:58 PM) squirrelof09 ---: Heard what?
(5:09:20 PM) thexxoutsiderx Coleman: He as killed in a car accident on Oct 16th
(5:09:23 PM) thexxoutsiderx Coleman: was*
(5:09:31 PM) squirrelof09 ---: Oh.
(5:09:49 PM) thexxoutsiderx Coleman: I did not realize that his Yahoo was enabled
17:10
(5:10:15 PM) thexxoutsiderx Coleman has signed off.
(5:14:05 PM) thexxoutsiderx Coleman: Sorry to have broken the bad news.
(5:14:50 PM) squirrelof09 ---: it's cool. I've kinda worried about him a little. I mean, i live in alabama, but we played games quite a lot to know him a little personal. used to talk with him in voice servers a lot.
17:15
(5:16:10 PM) thexxoutsiderx Coleman: He has been working out of town alot lately so he was hardly on anymore.
(5:16:46 PM) thexxoutsiderx Coleman: if you go to www.mem.com and type in Jonathan Coleman to can see the man you met online

I didn't know this guy in person, but I got to talk with him a lot when we had a teamspeak server going some time ago. He did not have many sober years in his life, but he was always a fun teammate to have in battlezone.

Since I started to get FTD going again, I've been trying to get in contact with my old friends of the clan. Red would have been the first person I would have had contact with again if I hadn't found that information out.

I don't know what else to say here, It's time for me to head to church.

He's going to be missed.

Of all people on the community I should at least know how to figure this one out...

I've got two routers, One is a linksys and one is a belkin. First of all. I freaking hate belkin. Now,

Here's my setup

[The internet]--------Linksys--------Belkin

I have successfully port forwarded my linksys router, so that's out of the question. It's my belkin router, which is second in line that I can't seem to get ports exposed to the internet on. I don't know what I'm missing, the subnat mask are the same on both routers.

Linksys router IP 192.168.3.1
Belkin Router IP 10.1.10.1 which is set to get a static IP from linksys (192.168.3.8 ). I've told my linksys router to DMZ to 192.168.3.8, and forwarded my ports on my belkin to my machine I'm trying to expose ports on.

Maybe I'm missing something here... Is it even possible to expose ports behind my set up?

Sitting in shell, waiting to re-join RD's session after I got kicked out because I joined while someone was being gamestate checked. While sitting in shell, two clients were posting "uh-oh" faking moves for squirrel for a long time. One player lagged out, another had a resync check. Chat lobby stopped flodding and this appears...

I think someone needed to start the topic...

While playing a game using Greenhearts variant some pathing code bug appeared in the chatbox. It happened 4-6 times in the game, but seemed to clear up. I'll post a screenshot and if you need the log, I have no place to upload it right now.. Screenshot includes console to see all the bug details, and the AIP debugger is shown.

Okay, so the wiki has been left almost untouched since it was installed - at least from what I can see.

Are there any plans to get the wiki going again? People coming to this site may just stop at that page an go no further. We need to get them to browse the wiki and find the forums.

Let's get it going!

I can host now! however, I can't support more than 4 people in a game... Is there any way to compress the bandwidth coming in and out of the bz2 server? I'll be checking gameprefs shorty. I can only support 750kbs up and down.

If there is a setting, what is it and what do you suggest the value be?

Maybe the multiworld frequency may help me? please elaborate?

Okay. So I have this in my bzgame_keys.cfg

Bind("SysRq", "iface.screenshot");

I press that button in game and my screen pauses for a second like its taking the screenshot. Exit the game and look in a few spots for the pictures and they aren't where they are supposed to be.

I am running vista and my screenshots are not present in ../My Documents/My Games/Battlezone II/screenshots; or ../Game root folder/screenshots. I also checked the public directory and no luck.

I did a search for "bzone bmp" and nothing came up except screenys from other directorys. and I also set the search depth to search in non-index locations.

Maybe I have some strange set up?

The 1.3TA5 patch was applied to a clean install of BZ2.

SO, am I missing something?

Edit: The only thing I could see causing a problem is renaming my install root from "Battlezone II" to "Battlezone 1.3TA5". Still? I should still be able to use that function in the game perfectly.

Edit2: *continues to read gameprefs and changelog file.*
Still need help though

I have some good news to the people of this community that knows me.

Yes, The topic says all!

however, its going to take some time. Within the next 1-2 months the owner of this website (http://netspeednow.com) will be coming to our house to install a dish that mounts on our old UHF antenna (the large tower used for picking up analog channels) beside our house. 12 of our neighbors are going to be hooked onto us. Our antenna is going to be a receiver + short range repeater.

The average ping to websites is 15ms. The guy came over and temporarily set up a dish. I pinged many websites and not one went over 50ms. This is nice!!

Since we are going to be the "host" to our neighbors the speed will be much faster than what the website has posted. If all 12 neighbors are downloading at once the average speed for each home user would be 786 kb/s, according to him. We'll see if that works well.

Thought I'd let you guys know

Okay.. So today, I got bored. I wanted to play some g66 2.0, so I downloaded that. Then I needed the pb1 patch, so I downloaded that. And then I needed my battlezone II disk, so I found that.

I laid it on my chair so I could get up, my cell phone rings, it's my girlfriend, so I walk away and talk with her for 15 minutes.

I come back and I sit down in my chair, and

I am realllly considering getting this computer off of ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/AMD-X2-64BIT-DUAL-CORE-6400-8GB-DDR-2-500GB-HDD_W0QQitemZ350070851188QQihZ022QQcategoryZ179QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ShippingPayment

I need some input about that graphics card.. Is it reallly worth it?

I'll be playing battlezone2, but also, other games like guild wars, BF games, ect..

What's the opinions about the specs of that carD?

Recently our teamspeak server has been hacked by some pretty intelligent hackers.

One guy keeps getting hold of the teamspeak priviliages..

Does anyone know of any software IP banner?

Sorry.. short and sweet cause I am at my uncles house

Okay this is really bothering me... you have misspelt "satellite" in the "Recycler Info" page. I want  you guys to fix this before the next patch or I will die...

Hey Wug, I noticed when I looked in the console I saw an error about a pathpoint.. I think you may want to see this.

And your AIP's always seem to give alot of resync..




Edit: fixed bad topic name

Look where it says Version: pb2, shouldn't that say pb3?

and it was a pb3 session becuase i was able to join it.
