Eliteone Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I followed the directions. Still getting the Invalid CD Key error. Suggestions? Launching it with the join by IP tool? Point your Join by IP tool to http://sficlan.net/nolf2servers/tmp then refresh servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Salt Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) ""I cant join server - I got "Invalid CD key". Its irritation."" ""I followed the directions. Still getting the Invalid CD Key error. Suggestions?"" The Join by IP Tool has two erroneous IP addresses. In DD the UNITY server has a period [.] instead of a colon [:] b/f the port number 27886. The PNX clan server has its IP as - 84.243.201.27887. It should be 84.243.201.2:27887. Hopefully SAssER will make these changes on his servers to enable proper updates.

Belladonna Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Used the Join by IP Tool, even re-downloaded it just in case. Have the mod checked and running. Re-downloaded that too. Still get the CD Key error no matter what server or game type I try. Help? Oh, the link - http://sficlan.net/nolf2servers/tmp - is a dead page for me.

SO when you put the url in your IP Tool it doesn't show any servers? I have a theory. If you have your CD handy copy your lithtech.exe from it to your NOLF 2 folder. Try that and see if you can connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliteone Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 it won't work in mine ;-; strange I have an active server list from the url.

URA Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Oh, the link - http://sficlan.net/nolf2servers/tmp - is a dead page for me. Same for me ... The link is ok, there just isn't an index page there, that link goes into the Join by IP tool. It downloads 10 files from there like this one: dm_names.txt This should work with mods a little better... NOLF2Srv_Beta2 Beta2 Added -mod command option (-mod <mod name>, e.g., -mod Weapons-05a) Moved disconnect code NOLF2Srv_Beta2.zip I also made this batch file, it works for me NOLF2Batch A batch file to join and query selected servers. It also auto loads the needed mod for that server. Includes GSInfo 0.4 NOLF2Batch download link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliteone Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I haven't tried the lithtech.exe thing yet but is there something new to do now? Bella be so confused. Ok hope this helps If anyone is confused at all, here is some less technical guidance. -You are going to download and install the mod. -You are going to set your game to always start with that mod. -You are going to be able to join the SFI UHQ servers with a double-click of your mouse. 1. Download and install the LivesForever mod. Download it from Here Or Here ---- a. Create a folder C:\Program Files\Fox\No One Lives Forever 2\Custom\Mods\LivesForever (Spelling is important so name it exactly like this LivesForever ) ---- b. Put the contents of LivesForever RAR file into that folder. ---- c. Yes, you really do have to make that folder. 2. Start NOLF2 like you used to, and select the new mod. ---- a. Instead of the "Play" button, hit "custom," which is right below it. ---- b. Check the box next to the "LivesForever" Mod. ---- c. Start the game. ---- d. Close the game. Now the you have selected the mod, it will stay selected until you restart the game and deliberately unselect it. 3. Start the JoinByIP Tool. You can download the Join By IP Tool Here (For the current server list point your Join by IP Tool to http://sficlan.net/nolf2servers/tmp ---- A. Choose the tab for DM or DD. ---- B. Double-click the server you want to join (Example the SFI DM server 70.86.157.250:27888 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggie is the too many files in the mods folder one (6 is the limit I'm pretty sure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAssER Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 As far as I know you can have an unlimited amount of mods... The limit of 6 files only applies to maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belladonna Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I'm still in a limbo here. I have done everything correctly multiple times. Everything is where it should be. Everything is checked that should be. I've started from where I should. I've pestered Neo and he says what is happening shouldn't be. Despite all help I'm still getting 'Invalid CD Key' when I try to join a server. I'm doomed. Doomed, I tell you, doomed. Worst of all my kids won't give me any of their leftover Halloween candy to make me feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
