forgot to say re: your comments about not being on long. We all have lives to live outside of FL (dont we???).

That sounds good except the 1 million bit to start a clan we would have to do it from lvl1 ie your name cannot be changed once put on Server so i would have to start the game with my Clan name already in Place eg "[Fulcrum Jimbob"

Cool. I'm completely new to this clan thing. I wasn't aware that clans changed their names as such. Kinda gang colours i guess. Is that necessary? I would have thought you could just post members.

Anyway, the reason for my stating membership fees is that server is always saying "server's gotta make some cash". If he don't mind lowering it, then that's cool with me. Hopefully he'll catch this thread and hear our ramblings.

Can't seem to get rebalance 1.4b. Have you tried, if so any luck?

Have you not, well basically you have to put something in front of your name so people know what clan you belong to. Its no good posting it because a) most people wont remember it b) most people dont even read the server news i confess ive been guilty of that.

Yeah managed to get it eventually the MOD that is but it took ****ing ages i emphasis on the ages.

Yeah left it running while we popped to the pub for lunch. What a life eh. Got it now though.

Have you tried installing it. It's not obvious how to do it. Looks like the whole FL installation has been repeated. Although the blurb say's its FLMM1.1 compatible.

Confused?

Post Wed Jun 04, 2003 8:19 pm

You copy the contents of the Zip straight into your FL folder this time its not FLMM compatible like it says though. Can you get on the server?

Post Wed Jun 04, 2003 8:24 pm

Server wasn't there when i checked 5 mins ago. Just had e-mail from server saying he's had to reinstall windows. I assume it's on his server.

Crapped out trying the 1.4b. Tried initialising the mod through FLMM whilst exiting from FL itself. KAPLOWEE. Zonked my whole installation.

Having to reinstall from CD.

Repeated tip of the day. Print out you MP Acount ID and...
Keep it secret... keep it safe.

I just copied the contents of the file into the FL folder job done just waiting for Server to come back up so i can try MP. Didnt use FLMM it wasnt in same type of Format for use with FLMM

Post Wed Jun 04, 2003 8:58 pm

Yeah been through it. It was OK for FLMM, but the RO attributes on several files within the distribution were set incorrectly. I manually unset them and it was fine to activate from FLMM. I've tried the mod on another 1.4b server, and it was ticketty boo.

Post Thu Jun 05, 2003 11:32 am

Just mailed you git. Re: names. Have we started again on the server?

If so, do we ned to create different clan names e.g. "Fulcrum - Seanus". Jimbob seemed to think it was the thing to do. I'm easy, as long as clans and their member are posted/known somewhere.

If we haven't started again ,and we need to change names, can this be done.

I thought stakeing a claim, and having to fight for it (even with tougher opposition) was half the fun. If they win it, it gives us more reason to come back later. Sort of Magnificent Seven stylee. Maybe we can find some poor we mehican chquitas to protect.

And anyway, what we gonna do when we're not there to defend it. I suppose it's all notional fun. The people that take it from us wanna fight. Give it to them.

I think i'm gonna enjoy this...
