View Full Version : RTCW FOG - Setup/Testing
Since I had to reinstall RTCW on my home computer I figured I'd share what I had to do for anyone who has yet to do so.
Install game from CD
Install 1.4 patch (wolf_update_1_4.exe). 1.41 patch will not install on a fresh copy of RTCW so you need to do this one first.
Install 1.41 patch (Wolf_Update_1_41.exe). Make sure you also install PunkBuster.
Install GOTY map pack (goty_mappack.exe)
Custom maps - install at least MG (mp_marketgarden.zip), NB (mp_breakout.zip), UFO/Foo Fighter (te_ufo.zip), and Schwalbe (mp_schwalbe.zip)l. More on exactly which ones you need once we have hashed out a rotation.
Start RTCW MP and adjust your settings before connecting to any servers (remember the game has to restart when you change video and sound settings).
Luckily I already had all of the files mentioned above. It seems like fewer and fewer places are hosting things for RTCW. If you have any problems finding files, let me know and I can get them to you.
I tested out the server last night to make sure everything seemed ok which it does. I would still like to get some people on it between now and Friday to make sure that it is ready. The settings are exactly the same as they were when it was taken down. This thread (http://www.vsfgamers.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1384) contains all of that information, minus the rotation which is:
Market Garden - A - MP
Base - AB - SW
Tram - AB - SW
Normandy Breakout - A - MP
Twilight - AB - SW
Ice - AB - SW
Depot - A - MP
UFO (Foo Fighter) - AB - SW
Schwalbe - AB - SW
I am going to just let the server run for the rest of the week so I'd appreciate that if and when you get a chance, jump on and test it out. Feel free to add any comments or suggestion you may have regarding rotation or settings.
If someone could host UFO and Twilight (?), that would be groovy.

blah blah, yeah yeah, I didn't read all that. Lazy bot over here, you know. Plus, my game is still installed from last time around. It's more for that bot from SoCal who needs someone to hold his hand and talk him through installing the game. :nod:

No, it will be listed in RtCW as "Communique."

How many slots are available?
I'm wondering how early I should join...
Gas
How many slots are available?
36 for right now. I may take it up to 40 but I don't think I can go much higher. I seem to remember doing that when the server was running before and it having negative consequences.
Keep in mind that while we are hoping that non-regs participate, regs take priority so if the server is full, the non-regs have to go to make room. Life can be so unfair. :D
Quick ?.....What would be the bind if I wanted to make MOUSE 2 the switch for smoke grenades .....I can't remember or find it anywhere!

How will you guys know if a reg is trying to connect? I can only guess that can be done via TS, which is why I asked Naz for the PW, but either he's trying to keep me out :( or he missed my request. Oh well. Looks like I'll be stuck at work when this starts, anyway, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

Well, to make sure, you could PM Naz. That's the way requests for the TS info are usually made.

Anybody remember the bind to change channels in TeamSpeak? In case we do the Axis Channel/Allies Channel thing.
Rotation:
Market Garden - OBJ - A
Base - SW - AB
Tank - OBJ - A
Tram - SW - AB
Normandy Breakout - OBJ - A
Twilight - SW - AB
Ice - SW - AB
Depot - OBJ - A
UFO/Foo Fighter - SW - AB
Schwalbe - SW - AB
The only ones I am not sure will go over so well are Twilight and Schwalbe. Thoughts?

Schwalbe pwns, but I don't know what Twilight is...
I have already expressed my views on Tank.

Anyone that does not like the Beer Map (a.k.a. Twilight) is, IMO, not welcome here. :P
And what's not to like about Schwalbe??? You blow up bridges, doors and aircraft; snipe from the tunnel exits and bridge spans; camp the catwalks with venoms; watch training films; mow down allies with MG-42s and airstrikes; take elevators; steal documents and ride in a rubber dingy. It has everything, I say EVERYTHING you desire in a map.

So, since we're all gonna suck on account of rustiness, how many times you think we can go through the rotation? :P

Well, I think it was a do-over, since most of the bots were already playing when I logged on at 4:57. It didn't last long, though.

MASH was in good form on TS. You da man!! He kept it light, funny, and was entertaining as usual. We should do a 42 FOG, then an ET fog, etc..
Keep the family picnics! A monthly thang..
Anyways, I enjoyed myself.
