I just saw the site was going to go down at 17:30 EST on the main page so I just want to remind people to go download the Tactical Mod 0.3 version before it goes down so people aren't stuck with the last version and unable to come test with us because they don't have the link.

I'm assuming it'll still be available to download even when the TG site is down (thru a link from TS or something), but I'm also assuming the forums are coming down with it so you won't have the link from the forum and I don't know if everyone that wants to come test knows about the TS server etc...

Anyway here's the link: http://www.tacticalwiki.com/index.ph...al_Mod_for_BF2

Again I might be wrong and the forums will still be up but better be safe than sorry, I love the mod and want a lot of people to play tonight to test it

And here is the thread about tonight's playtest : http://www.tacticalgamer.com/battlefield-2-general-discussion/62291-tactical-mod-3-play-test-wednesday-11-9-a.html

Starting at 8pm EST on Server #2

Thanks Kilrogg, way to think ahead!

I mentioned it in the site announcement thread, but I mirrored the file on my site in case you wanna throw a link up on the Wiki, Duke.

Oh, Apo says it's just the main TG site going down, so the file should be safe for tonight

I have been away from BF2 for a while and now cannot get into the TG BF2 public server. Is that because you all use this mod? Sounds good and I will install, but can I still play on other servers? And how will this mod affect BF2 when I install the Special Forces add-on?

Thanks

perry

Depending on how long you've been away, you may need to download the latest patch to play on pretty much any server. Currently, it's just Server 2 that has the mod, so you should be able to play on Server 1 once you get patched up.

The mod has its own little sandbox and does not affect normal BF2 playing. Unless the SF expansion screws things up, it won't be effected either.

Mace_UK

Oh right. I have the latest patch but cannot connect to the server. I type in 67.19.26.150 and it says the server is running a mod I do not have!? I am trying the right server?

perry

Oh, yea, that's the IP for Server 2, so that would be the problem.

jepzilla

That's server 2 which is running the mod. Server 1 is 70.86.19.218.

Mace_UK

Ooops! Thanks guys, stupid is as stupid does!!

The wiki and 0.3 download will be available throughout the outage. I think the reminder is just so everyone knows how to find these things while the forums are down.

I tried, but it didn't work.

Unzipped the TM .3 into the mods folder, and joined the server. It left BF2 and restarted in the mod. Joined the server and loaded up the graphics. At first it would say "This server does not allow altered games to join" or something along those lines. I unzipped the thing again and placed it in the mods folder manually, overwriting the previous "tactical-mods" folder and now it just crashes to desktop before the "Join Now" button pops up.

Natty, read the Wiki. You have to run install.bat from the Tactical Mod folder.

NattyIced

Ah, wiki wasn't up at the time. Thanks.
