Raven Shield Night

[Masaq]

Hey guys, a few days ago I was thinking it's been a fair while since any of us with Raven Shield spent some time blowing terrorists away.

Then yesterday RvS came up in a discussion in the Dev forum about how we can improve weapon handling/differentiation between carbines, bullpups and battle rifles in future releases of PR... and suddenly a couple of Devs go "ooh, hell yes I used to play that... are there still servers going?".

So, if anyone fancies an RvS evening early next week - Monday or Tuesday, say - then lemme know and I'll see if I can get a few Devs along as well, make a night of it.


We've still got it installed on the dedi, yeah Epo?

[epoch]

No.

Will try to reinstall.

Can only make Monday though.

[Masaq]

Okee, cheers mate. Monday sounds good to me, anyone else?

[LeChuck]

wont be able to login to the ubi server, otherwise id try it out

[TheMedic]

Ubi, good old ubi

[ReapersVengeance]

i bought that game and never played it. I would be up for a game.

[Spaz]

I would love to join if you guys feel like using hamachi? ;)

[MadTommy]

yeah sounds fun.. a bit of olde shield, i'm game. Not installed but have the disk knocking about..

[epoch]

I don't think we could use Hamachi, since the server doesn't have Hamachi on.

[LeChuck]

aha, hamachi ;) that way i can avoid the ubi login

RvS server now installed. Patched to 1.60.

[Masaq]

Cheers mate, will get RvS installed on the gaming rig tonight... I'm fucked if I can remember the whole patching process, I seem to remember it was a right PITA.

[epoch]

1.0 - 1.56
1.56 - 1.60

[Masaq]

Copy, ta. Will actually make it online to play something in 10-15 mins or so, woo.

[Masaq]

Hrmm, have got it patched to 1.51, and can't find a 1.5x to 1.6 patch anywhere?

Ended up patching from 1.51 to 1.54 via Athena's Sword, then to 1.55, 1.56 and then 1.6 via Filefront... bloody hell, I was right. Kerfuffle!

[MadTommy]

1.0 - 1.56
1.56 - 1.60

There is actually a 1.0 - 1.6 patch..

Greetings, I've never tried RS online, this should be fun.
Probably biggest problem in joining your party would be difference in time zones.

[epoch]

Why? What's the time zone in the evil empire?

[Nosferatu]

GMT + 03.00

If session will be on Monday's afternoon, I could be on duty. If it'll be at evening, I could be already in bed.

[epoch]

Two hours isn't that much ...

[Masaq]

Hey Nos, welcome to the T&T forum :)

Can't see that a 2-hour difference will be too much hassle - the UK is currently GMT+1 so we should be able to manage being online at the same time as you one night.

Unfortunately I'm only going to be around tomorrow afternoon/evening (Sunday) - and then I'm going away for a few days...

[Nosferatu]

Thanks, let's hope it'll be only one problem, I had issues with ubi services before)

[Nosferatu]

Now let me tell you some not interesting, but troublesome stuff:
Localized version of RS I bought, the only one available around, is prepatched to 1.54.

And there is no Russian patch to 1.60.

Patches for other localized versions don't work cause my version of RS buids threads in system registry in it's own way. I compared those threads with ones for US version and haven't found basic things like language info and coded serial number. What a faggotry. I'll see what I can do about it.

[Masaq]

Right, Friday night anyone?


Mas

[epoch]

I'm up for it.

[MadTommy]

I just reinstalled and tested very briefly on Win7.. so i'm game.

I think Friday is good.

[Hitperson]

I am every where!!

(cough)

aby way RvS rules (though AS has a distinct lack of sound...)

but should be about for some gamage.

[Hitperson]

[Masaq]

That we do... man that was a frustrating map, but I *think* we can crack it...

[Hitperson]
