Belladonna Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Here's a question someone asked me that I'm clueless on... Has anyone heard of a problem with teamsay not working in the game? Hitting the 'y' key does nothing because the option refuses to stay assigned to it or any other key. Weird, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

{BAB}Mr. Archer Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I wonder if Sadistic Marine asked this question. Anyway, it happened to me once before when I played around with Vista and NOLF 2 installations. I don't know if this is a Vista issue or a NOLF 2 installation issue. At that time, even I modified the text file under the profile folder, the teamsay still couldn't be assigned to anything. I didn't try to create a new profile at that time. Since then tho, I've reinstalled Vista + NOLF 2 few more times and never seen the problem anymore. I suggested to Sadistic (through PM) to reinstall NOLF 2, but maybe simply by removing and adding a new profile fix the issue. Hope this helps.

SAssER Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 yeah this is a Vista issue. I had it too and I also wonder, if SadIstic asked this question I don't know what actually fixed it but I didn't reinstall NOLF2 nor Vista. I play NOLF2 in Windows XP compatibility mode.. maybe you just have to try it over and over again and one day it'll work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliteone Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 If you copy this section into your player.txt it should fix the issue (did on my Vista) drag it out to your desktop to make the edit then put it back into your C:\Program Files\Fox\No One Lives Forever 2\Profiles it's caused by Vista's need to "protect" us from editing files FYI [bindings] Forward = "##17@ @ " Backward = "##31@ @ " StrafeLeft = "##30@ @ " StrafeRight = "##32@ @ " Left = "##203@ @ " Right = "##205@ @ " Strafe = "##56@ @ " Speed = "##42@ @ " Jump = "##57@ @ " Duck = "##46@ @ " TurnAround = "##14@ @ " LeanLeft = "##16@ @ " LeanRight = "##18@ @ " RunLock = "##58@ @ " DuckLock = "##29@ @ " Fire = " @##3@ " Activate = "##28@##4@ " Reload = "##19@ @ " NextAmmo = "##33@ @ " NextWeapon = "##26@#U@ " PrevWeapon = "##27@#D@ " HolsterWeapon = "##35@ @ " LastWeapon = "##45@ @ " MoveBody = "##34@ @ " Flashlight = "##38@ @ " LookUp = "##200@ @ " LookDown = "##208@ @ " ZoomIn = "##44@ @ " CenterView = "##207@ @ " Inventory = "##50@ @ " ViewKeys = "##49@ @ " ViewIntel = "##23@ @ " Score = "##25@ @ " Mission = "##15@ @ " CompassToggle = "##40@ @ " Radio = "##47@ @ " SendMessage = "##20@ @ " TeamMessage = "##21@ @ " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadIstic Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Yes this is my question lmao, thank u all so much for helping me out and being patient with me im so computer illiterate. It wouldnt let me uninstall arch, so i reinstalled it and now i think i am lucky it works at all. I'll try to switch the bindings when i find out how to access them lol. ugh-- well Finger 11 tonite!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadIstic Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 ahhh , ok i went into the profiles folder and there is nothing in there but default, and when i try and open it it tells me it needs to install something into my internet explorer, do i need to do this or is there some funny vista black magic goin on here.-= Im starting to think the computers dont like me=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P!NX Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 yeah this is a Vista issue.

I play NOLF2 in Windows XP compatibility mode.. maybe you just have to try it over and over again and one day it'll work. Aww when i read this "Windows XP compatibility mode" for a second i hoped that this would fix my lag with nolf2 in vista ... but actually it doesn't :'( So i guess i'll have to continue switching the OS everytime i want to play nolf, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAssER Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Hmm I never had lag in Vista.. Maybe this helped: I deactivated the User Account Control (UAC), because it is really anoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E1 has a better suggestion tho, but either way, you need to be an administrator to access C:\Program Files\ folder. Vista guards "C:\Program Files\" folder, thus changes are very limited (or restricted). My other thought would be to give an administrator access to the application itself. If you right click on the Lithtech.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility Tab, under the Previlege Level, tick the Run this program as an administrator. The side effect tho, every time you start the game, the annoying UAC pop up will keep asking you for permission (the most annoying feature from Vista). I know I think I overcomplicate the matter, but make sure you have an administrator account and follow E1 suggestion. Let me know if you still have a problem.

SadIstic Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 thx arch, but my profiles folder is empty, it jsut says default and looks like a hassel to open, it wants to do some kind of search to open the file so i imagine its not right. I have two profiles i use in mP and neither of them show here. im getttin sick of nothing working right and i think im just gonna leave it alone for awhile til im a lil less spiteful of the damn thing. Is there a command prompt text i can type to make it tear the game outta my computer?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAssER Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 to make it what? If you can't open the files in your profiles folder try to rightclick them -> open with -> notepad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadIstic Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 no no sasser, im sayin my profiles folder is empty even tho i have 3 active profiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{BAB}Mr. Archer Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Sadistic, I think I know what's going on. Since your NOLF 2 is installed on C:\Program Files, Vista prohibits even the application to add files under that Profile directory. It happens to me with other application that I have installed under C:\Program Files. Just do a search for player.txt. My guess would be under C:\Users\<your account name>\AppData\Roaming\..., but please do a search for sure. If all fails, I guess just get yourself an admin access and uninstall and re-install the game into different folder, i.e. C:\Games\NOLF2. Hopefully it helps.

I don't blame you that you want to go back to XP. There is really no reason to upgrade to Vista right now besides it's just the latest and greatest. XP is a very stable OS and widely supported. Good luck with the XP installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P!NX Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 XP is a very stable OS and widely supported. Very true, but you might remember that it hasn't always been like this I Remember that when XP was new there was only problems with it according to PC magazines... just the same like it is now with vista "Don't buy XP it's not worth it! ... Million Bugs" Many Updates made XP what it is now ... and the same will happen to vista sooner or later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For casual users tho, XP should be good enough until Vista gets more support in the future. I feel, though, the rate of support for Vista from software/hardware developers have been really slow comparing to XP. Just my $0.02.

You must do this even if you are already logged in as the administrator. It's an added layer of security to help keep your pc safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
