Hello =JHF= ;D, Having played some on your fine server, I've really taken a liking to Friendly Fire being turned on. Which suprises me to no end...in the past I have generally despised ff But the way you have your server set up with the ability to forgive those who unintentionally team kill is great. You can control the purposefull team killer while not punishing the accidental offender. My question: How do you do it? Is this a part of the AWE mod and if so, which version of AWE do you currently run? The reason I am asking is OEW is setting up a server in the Dallas area which will probably become our new home. The current server located in Los Angeles has too many connection problems and is not centrally located enough for our team. I'd like to implement ff and the opportunity to forgive on our new server. Any info you can give will be greatly appreciated ;D By the way, we get all set up and running we'll have to have all the =JHF= gang over for a friendly squad battle. We so enjoyed the one you hosted last week. Salute!

We so enjoyed the one you hosted last week. Salute! heya prophet!! A squad nite at your place sounds fun ;D;D Unfortunately, the !forgive function is not a part of AWE . We had something similar to that when we played mohaa, and really missed it once we switched to cod. So i got crazy one night (never drink caffinated coffee after 8 p.m.) and started to work writing a program that would do the !forgive, as well as the !stats, streak counter,anti-cussing, and real time server status page. I would be more than happy to share it with you, There are 2, maybe 3 issues with it though: 1)the program runs as a service on the server computer (sort of "runs on top" of CodUO). So either you would need console access to your server or have your host run it for you. 2)I wrote the code to run under Linux. I'm sure it could be adjusted though if you need it to run under Windows, and had Perl installed on your server. (i'd even be willing to make the changes;)) 3) I'm not a programmer, just a tinkerer, so I hard coded all of the settings into it (what was i thinking ) it would be pretty easy to go throw and change tehm though as the code reads like a good novel (probably Larry McMurtry ) I did this because i never thought anyone else would ever want it. I do plan on going back through it and making everything adjustable through a .cfg file. I also plan to add commands such as "!kick =JHF= -gHoTi-" and "!ban Cheater_Boy" to help simplyfy administration (no more \pb_rcon pb_sv_kick.......woohoo!!!!) If you want to give it a shot PM, email, or IM me and i'll be more than happy to help. Take care, BONE!!!

;D That sounds great Bone! I had no idea you were the creator. It's an awesome mod, I love. I told OEW about it and they like the idea of it as well. I have ftp access to my server, which runs windows. I'd love to give this a shot. But you're the nuts and bolts man here, so it's totally up to you. I'm just the monkey who flips the switch ;D Thanks Bone...by the way...you might consider releasing this mod and making it available on Maps n Mods Online. Bet folks would love to have it. Cya!

;DThanks Bone, Got the e-mail. Kinda knee deep in work all the sudden. Moving over to a Dallas based server, trying not to loose anyone, and there've been a few glitches. Then of course, I'm expected to do my regular job and the family wants me to act like a dad/husband. Sheesh! This can be a full time job. LOL ;D On top of it all I've never gotten TeamSpeak loaded yet I know, I know, where've I been? LOL. I reply by e-mail soon and let you know where I'm at time wise. Thanks Bone ;D
