I've added a campaign called No Precinct by Keldorn to the test server. It's incomplete but a work in progress. No Precinct is a very nice looking campaign and even at this early stage is quite well balanced with not too many kits etc.

Once all maps including a finale have been completed I'll add it to the main server, even if still in beta stage.

One 4 Nine by Kev Edwards is now on both servers. This is an excellent Campaign. It's visually great and very well balanced and supports all game modes. One 4 nine is the current Left 4 Dead Official Blog's featured campaign.

I've added a couple of custom maps to the server.

Saw-mill by Pacient.cz - link -
TAW KingOfTheHill v1.1 by TAW Butter_Cup

Saw-mill is a good looking and very tight map and should get some busy and intense games.
TAW KingOfTheHill is also small but I'm sure chaos will equal fun on this map.


Apocalypse Cow 0.3 by DaWorFizm will be added back into the mapcycle when Osseous Labyrinth by DaWorFizm has been completed.

Contact myself or D.Worf if you're interested in custom map test nights!

edit: map finished




I recently started playing around with the Far Cry 2 map editor. What an awesome piece of software! This is more of an experiment for me rather than a mission to make a great map but I've spent a fair bit of time trying to make it balanced by observing many online games with 12-16 players.

Set on the Zambezi river near an abandoned work site, Woodland Wonderland is a Far Cry 2 custom multiplayer map that supports all gamemodes. The map is not too sniper friendly and the ammo supplies are in one central point of the map to reduce camping domination at objectives. Woodland Wonderland was primarily made to play the Uprising gamemode.

I've started playing around with the Far Cry 2 map editor. What an awesome piece of software! Thanks to those who played my first go at a map last night- nedJUNGLE (beta). This is more of an experiment for me rather than a mission to make a great map. While I have the server going and there are players I'll continue to work on it and throw it into the mapcycle on occasions.


edit: now called Woodland Wonderland

Info coming soon.

R.T. Frisk has updated Suicide Blitz to v5 to do a final fix for the custom sounds not playing since 'The Sacrifice' game update.

I'm making available a Mumble voice comms server to all players who play on any of my servers. Friends of these players are also welcome.

http://mumble.sourceforge.net

Mumble is an open source, low-latency, high quality voice chat software primarily intended for use while gaming.

Details coming soon..

Far Cry 2 players that use any version of Windows 7 cannot auto download custom maps. Placing winhttp.dll from Windows XP into the game's \Far Cry 2\bin folder fixes this.

Windows 7 is not an OS that Ubisoft will support with regards to Far Cry 2 - link -

PunkBuster is no longer contratced to support Far Cry 2. For ranked multiplayer Far Cry 2 gaming, PunkBuster is required to be enabled on both the server and client which can be a problem with new installs of the game because the PunkBuster client will now not update automatically and you can no longer manually get the required updates from the PB website. Also, after the 1.03 patch the game's remote admin functions broke so now PB is the only way to remotely administor a Far Cry 2 server. Server utilities exist but these do not function remotely.

I've made available for download a Far Cry 2 PunkBuster install.
Server version v1.734 | A1392 C2.159
Client version v2.159 | A1392

If you are having PunkBuster issues then try installing this pack (save your original pb folder first).


Instructions.
-make a copy of your original pb folder
-remove pb folder from game install
-add the downloaded pb folder to game install

\Far Cry 2\bin\pb
