  1. Thanks for replying. I actually got my game to run due to my husband torrenting something to for me. I can't hear anything, which sucks but I'm not such a great player that it even matters, but I can't start the game with the livesforever rez file. I tried the mod handler, I could only get version one, and that didn't work.

     

    Are you aware of any directions that are mac specific to get this game rolling again? I am using the OS snow leopard if that is any help. I'd love to be able to play online again with the others, but the join ip tool is an exe and I can't run it. :(

     

    Thanks again for your help. I realize i"m in the minority here with my mac. I just miss playing!

     

    Found this article might be worth checking.

    QuickTime Update Corrects NOLF2 Sound Issue

    8:08 AM | Johan Hansén | Comment on this story

     

    Apple has released a small update to their QuickTime software, bringing it to version 6.5.1. The changes are mostly related to general audio handling, but an astute IMG Forum reader noticed the update also appears to have fixed the audio playback issue plaguing MacPlay's first person shooter No One Lives Forever 2.

     

    The bug made it hard to play the game using OS X 10.3 Panther and on Jaguar with QuickTime 6.4 or later. While no official word is out from MacPlay, it has been tested on an IMG staff computer with successful results.

     

    From the update's readme file:

     

    QuickTime 6.5.1 delivers many important updates, including:

    # Apple Lossless Encoder, a new lossless audio codec that retains the full quality of uncompressed CD audio while requiring only about half the storage space.

    # Significant improvements to AAC encoding, resulting in high-quality sound over a full range of audio frequencies.

    # Enhanced support for iTunes and other QuickTime-based applications.

     

    The update is currently available from Apple's QuickTime download. It should show up on Software Update shortly, but until then you can find the download below.

  2. Hey everyone, I've played on and off for years.

     

    Recently, after finding this site, I decided to start up my game, yet it no longer works.

     

    I'm a MAC user and don't see any topics about macplay patches around here.

     

    If anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it. Everytime I attempt to play I get the 'Insert NOLF2 disc" yet it's in there, then I tried the no cd patch and it still didn't work.

     

    I also can't find the mac patch 1.3 anywhere. :(

     

     

    Welcome to the forum. I'll see if I have that patch still.

    You'll need to use the Livesforever mod to avoid the CD key error.

  3. First off using all caps in a forum etc. is considered to be raising your voice (YELLING)

     

    Second English isn't my first language either though I have spoken it for many years now.

     

    It is possible you are missing the DD_THEPAD map (I am at work still so I can't check the contents of the mappack and I don't recall if it is in there or not.

     

    If it isn't I will upload it to the download section later tonight (I am pacific time USA)

     

    I got on your post because it came across rude (like you are entitled for someone to fix this for you) People who moderate this forum, myself included do this on a volunteer basis because we like the NOLF series of games.

     

    Those of us who contribute $$ for the serve do so because we like NOLF2 and want others to enjoy it like we do.

     

    This doesn't give you the right to get all frustrated at us because something is not working to your satisfaction.

     

    Please keep that in mind when making posts.

     

    I don't mind assisting you with any issues you may have but try to remember that we don't serve at your pleasure nor we deserve your ranting your frustrations at us (the UnityHQ staff)

     

    Finally

    2) I'm using for some words and sentences a bad translator (I think also that all them are bad, no one good...)
    I'd look into another translator then :P
  4. I think that the Unity HQ's NOLF 2 server's mappack must be OUTDATED!!!!! After finish the map Bollywood, what the hell... Always happen the same for me (last time some minutes ago) I'm more than tired of this situation... I'm waiting for your help: I get a "Can't load the world resources" error!!! But nevertheless, it seems I'm the only one I receive it (According Gametracker) That's the weird thing!! When the problems will finish for me? :wacko:

     

     

    You know there is a way to ask for help and a way not too. I'll let you guess if you did it the right way.

     

    As much as you browse this forum you should have come across by now the posts that we added Peppers DD_Bollywood map. As it was added recently it isn't in the mappack which is why we informed everyone they'd need to download it. It's in our downloads but to save another

    I'm more than tired of this situation.
    post you can download it from Here

     

    Relax when asking for help etc.

    Being rude doesn't incline people to want to help you.

  5. Okay,

    Once again thanks for the hellos,

    Guess what !? I did do everything I was supposed to but I did do something wrong. I'm quite glad I didn't give up in frustration. I did not have the map packs installed in the correct folder, I had them in just the base game folder,(with he other .rez files) and not in the Custom\Resources pile. It's working now, thank goodness, and thank you guys for the help. I don't think the map packs came with a readme file so I just guessed were to put them.

    I've got laundry to do at the moment but I look forward to playing this game on-line (hopefully I can find a way to adjust the mouse settings lower than the in-game menu) and maybe finally playing through the CO-OP section of this game. I want to find Cate and finish the mission.

    Hope to see you on-line and thanks again,

    Yeeyoh

     

     

    Glad you got it sorted.

  6. There are new mods in the packs described above (I repeat the same to you, I can not / do not know how I can delete my own posts, and there aren't other ways to do it appear in the new posts list, and the modified posts are ignored)

     

    You don't have to keep posting the same thing for starters.

     

    We got the message you have mods etc at your site.

  7. Yes, I knew, and? That is the only 1 thing you're going to say? I don't think it was a very good helping for me...

     

    So you were expecting me to snap my fingers and solve all your worries for you?

     

    I personally haven't hosted Contract Jack on any operating system but Windows 2003 server and I didn't have any problems with it. It is unrealistic though to assume that it will work on a version of windows that came out long after the game did.

    You can try some of the more obvious things like try running it in compatibility mode etc.

    Patience will get you more results in this forum FYI not getting snotty with your replies.

     

     

  8. Hello, Elite1 and [iF]Crusader (why should I greet more people if only you help me, LOOL) Again, I returned to this topic with new problems, of course:

     

    I can't host a Nolf1 server. Rather, yes I can do it but it did not appear in the list.

     

    I can't host a Contract JACK server, because I have now windows 7 and I can't install the server fix (it gets an error without XP) The worse part of this problem is I can't usually play online because there aren't any server "undown" and working. For Nolf2 you created a LivesForever mod, why not do the same with Contract?? I know it's the only possible chance to play Nolf2 since its masterserver it's down, but when windows XP dies at all, it will be really impossible for all. Of course, if the problem is mine, better to forget it, but if it's of all players, then what? forget too? I - AM - SURE - OF - NOT - ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

     

    And one last question that I know no one is going to answer to: What's happening with the players of Nolf1 and Jack? Are they really dying? Rarely get to see someone playing, almost never.

     

     

    Contract Jack uses Gamespy for server browsing and isn't dependent upon a master server like NOLF2 was.

  9. e1 how about a lil addition to the LF-mod which'd add some guns to the maps? ^^ I want shurikens at startup on Japan :lol:

     

     

    That wouldn't require a mod addition simply a file edit for the starting weapons.

  10. Yeah, right. That´s the way we do it in Contract Jack when running a server. This works.

     

    Peel

     

     

    Both NOLF2 and Contract Jack do this the same way.

  11. That was a really cool site. Ah, good times!

     

    Indeed good to see you on the forum.

     

    Ahh, the good old days... I miss them and everyone I got to know. It was pretty awesome for a while there.

     

    Good news, I was finally able to install NOLF2 and get things running on a new computer. Should be seeing you in the servers again! :D

     

     

    WOW is this Bella actually on the forum?? :24:

     

    *ducks*

  12. I'm using Vista 32 bit.

    Very strange problem and as soon as a new map loads then I have the radar back.

    Maybe I have to try reinstalling the game and see if it helps. I guess all the needed files and patches are in the downloads section

     

     

    Something to try first. Right click the join by IP tool icon. Go to compatibility and disable the visual themes and see if that helps.

    If not yes all the patches etc are in the downloads section.

  13. Well I still have the same problem. I cannot see my hud when I enter a game untill the next game starts. I have tried everything but still can't get it on.

    And with the hud I mean the "radar" where I see where the parts are and my team members. I can see the other stuff, like health and armor and ammo but nothing else.

    And to everyone calling "revive me" and I have just run past you I simply didn't see you on the map

     

     

    Odd problem. What version of Windows are you using?

  14. Puh, it wasn't me, who banned you from my server, Onyx.... ;)

     

    Hmmm, thats wired. I still get the same error, as mentioned before...

     

    Stupid server-hosting-thing, why can't it work, as it does in other games..... :P

     

    Here again a step-by-step list, what I have done so far:

     

    1. copied over the Server_Beta2 thing

    2. ports 27888 and 27889 (TCP and UPD)

    3. setting Lives Forver Plus mod

    4. hosting a dedicated server

    5. joining with Lives Forever mod

     

    Thanks for helping me!

     

    So what's the command line you have to start up the server?

  15. What maps we had on DM server.......and where da heck IS the DM server :o

     

     

    To answer the second part. The DM server is awaiting funding (I still have all the configurations and files from it) then we'd know where in the heck it is ;)
