He's alive, I talked to him today.

Not necessary Spec, said it as a general precaution, not pointed at Mojo directly.

Mojo - so, are you going to give us a heads up on the new trick or what?

Typically hacks are only viewable if you're on the "offending" desktop - some forms of the hacks may have external indicators though, like if someone is using an aimbot, as you watch them they will sometimes be ripping around in a circle, laying on the ground, to all points of the compass,...

It's "jonny8ball" and the only other name he's used according to the tracker is "DFWUjonny8ball."

He got a temp ban with a promise of a permanent one if he's caught again.

When were these taken?

In doing the Server Side Modding I've seen all kinds of craziness. In general, PB error messages are more helpful than BF messages. I've seen one map crash the whole server, even when that map wasn't running or even in rotation - simply being in the active server directory caused the issue. If you h...

Does it just say "disconnected from server," or is there a different error?

I looked through the logs this morning, I see a couple PB errors for you but nothing since 3-25-2009.

Have you tried reloading the game and patches/mods?

I see, the ol' "Lada Hack."

You shoulda honked, it would have cleared the problem right up, in about 5 seconds. :)

I can see it now - Mojo shows up at Buckingham Palace with a Hickory Farms gift basket and an autographed publicity headshot.

If it was remembering his IP he would either never be able to get online (or see the server browser list) or it would work fine (if they were both internal ranges and happened to match up, like 192.168.1.x or 10.x.x.x). In any event, did you get any new software or firewalls on it since it last work...

Went to Dangle's YouTube link, LMFAO @ the comment:

is that double a or triple a batteries ?

Depends on how badly you crash - we did 1/8 scale trucks for a while and I did everything from blow a tire to break my engine mount and shear the carb off my motor - one costs $8 and some glue, the other I ended up dropping a little over $200 for a new motor. Not to mention the time it takes to fix ...

Expensive hobby.



How much does a crash cost? :O

Are you running XP, or Vista? If it's Vista, all the reconfiguration in the world won't help you, in my experience. Just ask Spec. I've heard of a few people that report running '42 with no issues but they're a rare case. And they might be lying. :)

I'll take a look at the number of tanks that will spawn at once. We sped up the bleed so it doesn't last the whole hour, but it can still be a long, stalemated map. I don't mind the length, it's when you're getting your ass handed to you and still had to endure it for an hour that it got long. I don...

Is there anyway to change up the rotation so it's not the same maps at the same hour every day? We did change it up with the introduction of Bocage Day 2 and moving some of the maps around a bit. The entire rotation takes about 10 hours to go through, so I can't figure out how 10 hours divides into...

Not at this time, sorry. There are a lot of people that love the infantry maps. Just so you know, I'm not one of them. I usually bail for Sea Rigs, Lost Village, etc. but we go with what we think is a good variety. Think of it as an opportunity to go outside and play for 30 minutes or so. :)

I like helos a LOT better than the SCUD, which the DC Devs evidently thought needed to be there. With the pixel aiming that goes on for arty the helos play an important role in spotting and some troop transport. Making the flag radius smaller server side has complications that outweigh the benefits ...

Whatever happened to the days of Fat Albert, when you could settle your differences with a song?

Was that the same guy at the end, sounding totally normal? Did they lose cabin pressure or something and became OK as they descended?

The other thing is it sounded like he said he couldn't control anything but when they told him to descend, he seemed to be able to, right away -

I looked at the hybrid Tahoe, and it was $10k more than the normal Tahoe, with a $10k+ in maintenance (new batteries) down the road. I get that I'm spending less in gas but it was still tough to sign off on it. I have a hard time feeling like I'm paying more to be a member of the club. I'm down with...
