All of your classes have been wiped, and if you should decide to continue to play there, you will be starting from scratch. You will, however, rank-up to level 65 within a minute or two of joining the server. After that, you will have access to all regular classes and weapons. However, you will be demoted back to 4-Star next to your name and any advanced rank you had earned is apparently lost. I'm unclear what the implications are for the advanced classes and weapon unlocks. You may have to go through that all over again, too. As the responsible Admin for DM1, I am shocked and saddened at the damage this will do to the reputation of this server, and I sincerely regret the inconvenience this causes to all the players who love to play there. My plans for this server (which were not only fun, but extensive) have been dashed - at least in the near term. I did not authorize the change that occurred, nor was the matter even discussed with me. I am sure there could have been a more graceful way to handle the changes, and I expect there would have been a way to preserve the server while performing the update that I was told (after the fact) was necessary. As the DM2 server came through with pretty new banners and all player and server settings and levels intact, I am sure a more calculated approach could have preserved DM1 through these updates. Even if I am wrong, the simple fact that the changes occurred without warning or discussion will exact an immediate and negative toll on utilization of this server. I had hoped to phase in many fun changes in the coming weeks while everyone continued to enjoy playing on the server. A more gradual approach fits better into my already horribly screwed up life. I was unprepared to find DM1 in ruins this morning and do not have the kind of time necessary for a quick recovery, but I will do everything in my power to resurrect DM1 as rapidly as is humanly possible - for this human, that is. Again, my sincerest regrets and apologies. In the mean time, please enjoy playing on DM2 - Beers is doing a Spectacular job with that server! I will make an announcement when DM1 is ready for normal battle operations again. And you're always welcome to come play there during the rebuilding phase. Expect a little dust and rubble, though. ldoz, spinpuppy, reddog955i and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I was the one who did the name change. What has not been said here was we had 2 servers with the exact same names getting there files from the same folder off of the main redirect. So for me to change one server it would show up on the other server. I would not do that type of change without a server admins permission. So having said that, sooner or later this would of had to happen. Now the server is exactly the same as it was. What was lost here is the player profiles for that server. To all the players I do apologize as well I hope my reason for doing this is acceptable. The server name was changed to xidmace1 . We have all been through this before and have managed to reset our classes so I do not think its to big of a problem to recover from. As for the pretty new banners on dm2 Beers asked me to do this for him and in doing so I discovered the problem with both acemod dm servers. This truly had to be addressed and fixed. Yes I could of changed the DM2 server name. My train of thought was 1 first I did not remember that changing a name removes player profiles. There is a lot to remember doing what I do. To DJ if you would like your server tweaked with new images all you have to do is ask you know I'll be more then happy to help out. To all player I do apologize for the extra work here. Please take some game time and go into dm1 and reset your classes it onlt takes a few minutes to do . Mine are done. reddog955i, Morris, Panzergirl and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Please take some game time and go into dm1 and reset your classes it onlt takes a few minutes to do . Mine are done. The new graphics on Beer's server are stunning! However, he could have been delayed for a day or two while we sorted this out, thereby averting the inconvenience to the entire COD5 player community on these two servers, or one of them at least. If both servers were pulling from the same place, then a duplicate of that "same place" could have been created and then the servers severed from each other and told to look in their respective, separate places. I view this as a matter of haste and not of un-avoidability. At the very least, the community could have been advised of the disruption several days before the change so the server could have coasted to a graceful stop rather than slamming into a brick wall. But again, I've been at this IT shit for way to long to just take on faith that this was unavoidable. We could have fixed this without abruptly wrecking a server in the process. I could be wrong, idk, but I never had the chance to investigate alongside a team of people who actually act together to determine the possibilities and formulate a joint plan of agreed upon action. As for the notion that it's a blessing in disguise, well, I'm not sure how. God bless Beers and his seemingly endless hours to play and tweak his server. It speaks to how "together" his life is and the choice he has in how to spend his leisure/hobby time. I, on the other hand, have the most fucked up life of anyone I know, and playtime is a precious commodity to me - something I have almost none of. You could have probably done to DM2 what you did to DM1 and Beers would have had it up and back to normal in a matter of a day or two - if even that - complete with shiny new graphics and all. But again, I am loathe to believe that a simple name change had to be a complete brick wall. What I see as the real tragedy here is that the players will just move on to DM2 because they didn't loose anything there, and it looks all shine and new - even if it's just the candy coating. It will take me some time to get DM1 back in a state where it actually looks attractive again, even with the same old candy coating. But whatever. I'll try my best to cool off. No point in arguing it anymore. What's done is done. Moving on... Edited February 8, 2015 by djMot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

We failed on that and tried something else and it ended up being this. To get this done I had to find the graphics find the right files to replace pass them by beers, once that was done hook up with Rugger because the name change has to be on the command line as well. It was a lot of little things to get what beers was looking for. A lot of my time was spent doing it. I also help others out as well. I lose all my game time and I promise I would do the same for you. Just ask. All you need is the idea and we can probably end up with it happening. So I do work with everybody what I missed was one little link between your server and Beer's server. This ended up a huge pain in the butt. But it was going to happen either to your server or Beer's server. You must agree that 2 servers playing the same mod on the same game would have a big chance at making a bigger mistake. Also please keep in mind the only thing that has changed is the players own classes this has nothing to do with your server. The reason everybody is downloading the mod again is because the name has changed nothing else. People will be back just as if nothing has happpened.

If it has please let me know I'll fix it for you. @@Labob - Really Labob? Tell that to everyone who plays there. Yes, the files up on the game server are the same, BUT the instant anyone tries to go into that server, everything they had worked to build for themselves evaporates into a puff of greasy black smoke - classes, prestige, weapon unlocks, challenge completions... Everything. You can tell everyone that the server has not changed till the cows come home, but when they go in there and find they have to start all over, it sure as hell doesn't seem like nothing has changed! For those of you following this thread, I can offer one ray of sunshine - As @@7toes_ky and I found last evening, it is kind of interesting (fun even) seeing what it's like to start over and get a "Challenge Complete" for doing things that seem so basic and every-day to us seasoned COD5 Professionals. It's rather nostalgic being a noob again. And a recommendation - If you intend to Prestige-Up again (unlock additional class slots that you can build out) remember that with each Prestige level-up, you loose everything to gain that additional level slot. So maybe just work with one class until you've earned as much Prestige as you need, then go about finalizing your load-outs.
