But i think the plan is you must run the new Baronmmp_FlameFix to fly there.
And that's the conclusion I've come to. The intent is to eventually mandate this flame fix by not allowing access to servers without it.
My concern is, just when we've been seeing a flicker of flame of renewed interest in the game, this will splash cold water on it. We have read that some are struggling to get back on RB; this will add another hurdle for them. And how are we going to get the word out about this? Not everyone comes to this forum.
Everyone seems to be on board with this with the exception of Halibut and myself. Fine. I can download this and try it next weekend, but I tell you we will see far fewer players if some get booted without this dowload. This may eventually be an improvement but I believe it will be a long time before we see 10 to 13 players again, if ever. I may be wrong with this and I hope so, but so far I haven't read anything to persuade me otherwise.

I will say this again! I like using the fix, Ace did a fine job... But Do Not Mandate this flame fix, leave it up to the player, there choice to fly with or without flame fix. "escape enter" is always a easy fix  . "protected" server = lose players! Many people have a hard time just getting stock RB3d running. Plus many will not download a .exe file. Salute! |

Some background discussions can be useful..IMHO.
It sounds like we do NOT need a test, and since the bullet counter works fine with the latest patch, it is open server time and goes to what I had suggested earlier....make getting out the default solution, but if you will, load up the patch and hope you don't need it. I think this has been a fun tempest.
"Do What Thou Wilt", I say! Just don't boot anybody..especially every body!

"So far it is usable only for Rens flamefixed servers until other server operators adopt the same policy, I hope." If im correct, and your saying that you cant fly on rens servers unless you have this "Baronmmp_FlameFix.exe"...well that is of no concern for me, as i cant remember ever having flown his servers. AS for the servers that are used for the two games played each week (devilles and war@4) adopting it, that would be a mistake.
complicated way of saying you do not mind being booted unnecessarily.

No. It wasnt complicated, or unclear, what i wrote over 5 posts...But it was over a year ago, on a thread entitled... "NEW ERA OF RED BARON!" by someone who has since vanished into the ether...so a big yawny grin to you...  |
