LGSL e107 2.4 and LGSL-SA 1.8 are now available !

Some of the noteworthy changes in both are:

– Added Quake 2
– Added Quake 4
– Added Doom 3
– Added F.E.A.R
– Added Vietcong 2
– Feed Improvements
– Forced wrapping for really long settings like website addresses.

For the e107 users, the Admin Area dropdowns are now tickboxes which are easier to use.

For the standalone users, blank IPs are now skipped, so if the line starts with a colon, it becomes a comment, example :ip:port: which is handy for temporarily disabling a server.

I got quickly bored of the original call of duty, but I am having great fun with Call of Duty 2, the snow alone is brilliant, and can see why so many wanted LGSL support.

Since code wise not much needed doing, I have updated the current version of LGSL with COD2 icons and map images.

I take pride in making the map images, so to get the best quality I found the originals within the iw_09.iwd called background_mapname.iwi, and was able to open them using a tool called iwitodds.exe.

Yes d3/q4/fear/vc2/q2 is coming, but you will have to be patient.

For those who have changed LGSL to launch steam know that it can be a bit messy due to applaunch numbers and speechmarks needing to be specified.

However it seems that in the latest update Valve have added a new command

steam://connect/132.465.798.321:27015

Which auto detects what game the server is running.

Ive not widely tested this, so feedback on whether it works is welcomed.

Change Mailer 1.5 is now out.

I wrote it so I know when someone has posted something to the site without having to constantly check. This new version adds a much need notifcation for the guestbook.

For a long time the only spambots ive had were casino and poker advertising, and they were easily defeated by a word filter.

However it seems the spambots are becoming more devious, passing on hidden form data, using bbcode links, and posting websites that seem innocent, but actually redirect you.

Well the guestbook has annoyed me too much, and I should not have to delete them, or force people become members. So I create a plugin to do a captcha image test for anonymous posts.

Its now running on this site, so let me know what you think !

This adds a requested option of being able to set a match as cancelled.

This is so they do not get mixed up with the guinine draw stats, and with its own color icon, warns the clan they do not have to turn up.

To upgrade just upload all the files, including new images 🙂

I use the ASE regularly so I was annoyed when the 1.03 patch went and broke the connection support that 1.02 fixed.

But luckily a fix has been posted on the ASE message board, and I think its worth sharing with any BF2/ASE players that may visit.

You need to right click on Battlefield 2 in the ASE, Custom Config, and after the CMD line, such as "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" you specify your BF2 account username and password.

For example:

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +username RichGC +playerPassword MYTOPSECRETPASSWORD

Well obviously im back, its always good to get away for a few days, and 'unplug' myself from the pc.

The Isle of Wight was a nice place, very scenic, good for a holiday, but unless your in the center town of Newport, its very quiet, and has that 'retirement' home feel.

The wedding was good, it was held at the http://www.farringford.co.uk hotel, aparently once home of a poet called Tennyson, but tbh I dont remember hearing of him before.

The families seem to get on well with each other, I found it awkward since it was my sister-in-laws brother who was getting married, and so there was only a few people I knew, but I managed to get through it without getting pissed and making a fool of myself 🙂

I have added a custom map pack for UT2004 to the e107 addons section.

Which was made by Raven from Digital Exile Game Servers

Im sure I have some other images packs floating around that ive forgotten about, so will have a dig around my drive tonight 🙂

Im off to the Isle of Wight for the weekend, a relative is getting married. Be back soon.
