Um... nothing new then?

**LpBronco** · 05-25-2010, 07:07 AM

Mogul was working in China for the last few months and only returned last week. We'll get back to work on it this week and will be able to reach a final up or down within a few days.

Another 2 months have passed since the last post in this topic..
Anything new? (fingers crossed..)

I have retuned my friends! To keep it short and sweet, I've been doing quite a bit of globe trotting and have most recently completed a major software upgrade for my employer that will see patentship. I've just been busy as hell. I will be resuming work on this project tonight, updates will follow.

Welcome back

**ogmogul** · 09-20-2010, 01:55 AM

will be implementing a more stable software backbone tomorrow.. I'm really excited!

Was able to complete multiple successful tests of the automated hosting system tonight. Will be building a basic short rotation of maps for the next round of testing. Could use another 2-3 people around 2345 central US for some additional testing if anyone wants to jump in on this. I'll be in TS.

**LpBronco** · 09-23-2010, 11:02 AM

I'll be there.

**ogmogul** · 09-23-2010, 09:44 PM

Think I've found final bug in code, tonight should be interesting

**ogmogul** · 09-24-2010, 09:49 PM

We just finished a series of 5 rotations of 4 maps each back to back with no failure using the Automated Hosting System. Players reported no game-play issues on behalf of the hosting process.

The AHS is very polished at this point but the challenge is to circumvent a server OS and run the script in a virtual environment and we are finally getting some movement in that direction. Stay tuned for further development.

This is great news! I have really missed playing OFP-DR! I had all but given up on its resurrection, but thanks to OGMogul and LpBronco, it looks like OFP might be making a big return. I guess I should reinstall the game since I uninstalled it several months ago.

Great work OGMogul & LpBronco!

Menu optioning is complete minus map selection. Due to a variety of reasons the AHS requires the game to be ran in windowed mode. Default configuration is for 800x600 windowed, however I could code in optioning for additional resolutions. To keep workload to a minimum as we get close to release, what additional resolutions (2 or 3) should be included in the optioning if any? I have no problems saying "If you want it to work, do it this way," but I'm trying to consider flexibility. Thoughts?

**Unkl** · 09-30-2010, 02:14 PM

800X600 sounds fine with me. Been running my game at 1024X768 but that may be why I can't shoot worth beans.

**LpBronco** · 09-30-2010, 03:39 PM

Not sure what the issue would be. The capture scripting would require it but I can't see a reason that would interfere with client side settings.
