Infiltration 2.9 Online - a dissapointing Experience?

[(SDS)benmcl]

For me 2.9 is NOT a disappointment. I do perfer DTAS over EAS for all the reasons I stated in the other threads which is map oriented and not game type oriented.

For me not being on the servers is just a matter of finding time. There are not enough hours in the day. I do try to keep up with the downloads at work incase I find an spare half hour or so. Even on Redirect Downloads at 26,400 it does take awhile.

GD mutie pack is installed.. Did not contain the abovementioned packages. Alas i used the link from your clan website.

More when i get home.

Opps sorry, I missed those two it seems. I have added the missing files and re-uploaded the GDMutiePack.

[The link in my Sig is the same as at the GD Site.]

I assume you mean dial-up [non-broadband connections]. Yes, that would be a pain. God forbid if you have to D/L a DesertStrom Map from GD. The supporting files for those maps are NUTS! Since I do not install any of the files locally that are custom from the Core INF 2.9/Maps install I can miss a whole round waiting for a DS-Map Add-on to get to me (on broadband). However, the Mutators are not that bad but I do have a few Custom Cammos. I believe I will take some of those out since there are a few that I am not even using. I just have to figure out which ones have not been used [or will not be used].


DaRealFunkyShyte:
Are you able to get files from Shan's DTAS/TDM servers? I find it strange that you can not get maps from GD. It is just a http:// Download and *should* work. I am behind a firewall here at my office and at home, no issues there [and no special F/W rules].

Why don't you install any custom maps?
You could make a new (or more) folder like "Custom" in your Infiltraiton-folder where you put them all and so you wouldn't affect 2.9 at all, you only would have to change your Infiltration.ini:
[Core]
...
Paths=../Infiltration/Maps/Custom/*.u
Paths=../Infiltration/Maps/Custom/*.unr
Paths=../Infiltration/Maps/Custom/*.utx
Paths=../Infiltration/Maps/Custom/*.uax
Paths=../Infiltration/Maps/Custom/*.umx

Yes it is dial-up but if I pay attention whats going on like I used to do its not a problem. I have a T1 wireless access at work. Its when I miss something I have a problem.

This is NOT a complaint about custom stuff on servers. I like the setups you guys do. I just need to pay attention and plan a bit. Just right now its a tad tricky time wise.

PS. I believe though now I am caught up. Thank god for portable hard drives.

Edit: I do have one very minor complaint though and I don't believe there is anything that can be done because it is an engine issue. When I am downloading say a camo or mutator and the map gets changed I have to start over again. Shouldn't be a problem if I am doing what I am supposed to do though.

It is not that I do not know how to install custom maps and files. I always want to know that the Download Redirect is working and I have not missed putting up a compressed file. So, from time to time I clear my Cache to make sure all is okay dokay...

I am now getting version mismatches with a UN_DE50 package from the DG mutie pack on the .. GD server.

The Download Server does not work for me at all. No connections can be established. I am behind a NAT, no unreal-specific ports are forwarded. If it is simply a http transfer, something is seriously broken on your side, since that would not require any incoming connections. I am using Linux, if that helps.


PLEASE FIX..

 

[{GD}Odie3]

Okay, corrected the DE mutator (once again sorry). By the time I post this it should be ready for download. Let me know if there are other errors....

As for getting file from the R/D tell me if you get can download this:
Click Here for Test

If so, then what I thought would fix the linux RD/DL's did not in fact correct it. Damm

Edit:
However, other Linux users stated they could D/L from Shan's servers but not from {GD} server. I wonder if there is some other Linux user could try and get files from the {GD} server....

The file loads fine with mozilla.. The question is what does UT do that it doesnt - or the other way around.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm in! I can play! Wheeeee!

Well that would be the $100 question! I am out of ideas at this point. I have tried very hard to get the RD/DL to work for linux users. It can't a letter case issue anymore cause I can download bulletsounds4.u.uz as BULLETSOUNDS4.U.UZ (before I could not get that file even on my Win Client).

EDIT:
I would like a look at your Infiltration.log where it shows a Download error from the {GD} server...

 

[sir_edmond]

Odie I would like to report that some of the files are outdated. 50cal DE is one of them.
the old 50cal DE, the one in your pack, has both the silver skin and the back skin.
the new 50cal DE, the one your server has only the silver skin.
you might want to check with "un17"

 

[{GD}Odie3]

To change the 50DE skin you have to type DESKINCHROME from the concole.

UN17 has not reported to me a newer version (I will PM and ask him about it).

Thanks

 

[sir_edmond]

I mean that the one in the mute pack has the option to choose a black or silver skin to choose from in the layout menu. but not the one from your sever.

 

[{GD}Odie3]

Oh, hmmm. It is the same file as the one in the Mutie Pack (I checked the Date Time Stamp). Perhaps UN17 can help me out here....

 

[sir_edmond]

hmm.

 

[UN17]

I didn't script the DE.50 to offer black or chrome skins in the Loadout menu. An earlier beta did have the skin set to Sentry's chrome instead of the polished black. But the version I have now, shows the DE.50 as polished black. So either you are bugged, mistaken, or discovered some cool secret

I'm almost finished Ground Control. Hope the bonus pack gets released and people return to the barrens that is EAS.

 

[{GD}Odie3]

Ya, I was going to get on last night but everyone was on TDM/DTAS.

 

[DaRealFunkyShyte]

From memory, but pretty much accurate:

Attempting to get blah.u:
recv() failed


recv() is the system call to receive data on a socket. If the error message is accurate, this means:
- A connection on the Socket was successfully established
- The first or a successive call to recv() has failed - possible reasons for recv() to fail are plenty.. unfortunately the error message does not tell us what caused recv() to fail.


When i get back home, i will see if i can find out a little more about this by experimenting a bit.

 

[sir_edmond]

UN17 you mind sending me the mute to my email. its in my profile.
In my layout menu it comes up chrome so does the clip/mag.

OT: odie why do you have a training sever.
