Hey all
Server LFS MOD require the C4ExPMod6 files as well as the grounds Packs 1 and 2.This files are downloadable on CheckPoint Delta or on LFS website with the proviso of being member forum. Without these files you will not be able to connect on the server or you will be eject during the change of map.
Thank you

Well, I'm a little disappointed that you guys made it so that I have to have these mods installed in order to join your server. Today, there were 11 people playing, all in your server. So, I go through the trouble of finding, then installing these mods, only to have them completely screw up my game and now I have to re-install the whole d**n thing.  Now, after installing these, when I try to join ANY server, it brings up the "loading server" screen, then as soon as it hits 100%, my game crashes. This is the same d**n thing these mods have always done to my game. Even a couple years ago, I tried all these mods and Rab walked me through all the steps, and it did the exact same thing. So now, I can not only join your server, but I can't join any of them because it crashes. Apparently these mods have some flaws in them and people better make d**n sure they want all this headache before attempting this. |

Not sure what happened to your game MagicMan......
Works fine in mine exept the ITEMS.DEF didnt pack to my C4ODATA.PFF.
I used FwO Ravens PFF Editor to manually insert it, and it fixed it so i could see the new buildings.
If you would like, i can help you do a manual install of the mods, if you up for another go at it.
A couple of questions.....
When you installed your game origanally, did you do the Large Install?
Do you have an application in your C4 folder called "Pack.exe"?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To all else, it is always good to make a backup of your C4 folder just incase yours has an error installing.

Hey Scott, hows things? To answer some questions, my install was so long ago I don't remember which I did but I believe it was the large install. I don't need the cd to play the game if that's any help. I looked in my C4 folder and yes, there is a "pack.exe" in there. Trust me, I slapped myself upside the head after for not backing up my folder.......lol Can't believe I didn't, especially after the mods didn't work right for me when Rab tried helping me.  |

I'm sorry that it does not work for you  packs just checkpointdelta and we all do the same instal.  I does not oblige anyone to come on the server LFS and it's not my fault if there are few players on C4. |

Hello Gents, I support the use of the C4ExPMOD, and am in the process of setting up a new =FUN=ExPMOD Server, I have done this before and found that, when installing the c4ExPMOD you firstly double click the MS-DOS icon, then you must double click the Optimise icon, you do this with all three downloads, but it does leave some files behind! These leftovers cause crashes, so you must delete them or manually install them, personally I delete them! I have never had a problem with mine..... Regards - Phaser |

And maybe you have a valid point there Phaser. Maybe it has something to do with the leftover files. I've already got my C4 repaired so I may try this all again. I also just installed C4 on the Vista hard drive to see how it runs. I've been running C4 on the drive with XP (running a dual boot system Vista/XP Pro)

MagicMan,
if you get some time today, shoot me an email at c4rcs@yahoo.com
I can get you some teamspeak details and hopefully help get this going for ya.
As long as you fresh install (works best for adding these big mods) and the PFF Editor installed, you should be all set to go.

Just so you know Scott, I don't run TS. It plays havoc with my computers so I don't use it. Bummer man. Ok some of our guys had some trouble too... So I took the mods and created an installer that will do everything for you. All ya have to do is point it to your C4 folder and watch it go! I can transfer it to you, if you like, over Yahoo Messenger , or Windows Live Messenger. After compressing, its about 2/3 of its origanal size and takes around 20 to 30 minutes to send. I've tested it on XP and Vista and it worked on both machines. That's about the best I can do for you. |

d**n, appreciate your offering to help like this. I'll shoot you a pm later today with my messenger info.
Your guys that had the problems, did this installer fix it for them?
Again, thanks for your time!

Sounds good man.
I'll be around off and on all day, so just whenever you get some free time. I got us a full time server running, with about 7 custom maps made up using these mods that we / all can test to make sure everything is running ok.
The installer fixed there problems for the most part. But i think its the way the batch file was wrote.... just minor stuff though. All in all, ZAK did a great job.
