XtremeIdiots would like to wish all members celebrating their birthday today a happy birthday. GrooVr (63)

So good news, I can fix the fog. And bad news, I can't fix the fog. There's a line of code in a file that needs to be deleted on the pack on the server (any attempt client side will result in the pack being redownloaded so you match the server): level._effect["fogbank_small_beltot"] =loadfx ("fx/misc/fogbank_small_beltot.efx"); [the .efx file located in iw07.iwd] That will mean nothing to most of you, but BASICALLY the real foggy map has a reference to a fog that is used in the core game. I can delete that reference so it doesn't try to go "yea lets put loads of fog everywhere" OR I can be really dumb and delete the entire fog effect file from the core game files on the server (if all else fails and I am not risking it). I don't have access to the redirect so I can't fix it wihout Loader.This is all also completely hypothetical - I do not have a safe testing environment to try this out.

About time I had a smooth running and I didn't have to skip any maps, and everyone was happy. Never gonna get that again so enjoy it Its every three months but if people want it shorter I can do every two months? we'll see what people think

If it happens again, I'll sort it. I have changed at least two maps so far, and will be changing a third tomorrow because I haven't had the time all week. The main CoD2 server menu is pretty crap so I don't always trust that - i've had servers vanish from there and then come back again like it was nothing. I have noticed that some maps take a while to load, or change - and that has been worrying me. What I'll do before everyone gets in tomorrow is give the rotation one more blast through to check for any hiccups. I am pretty sure I got them all - but doesn't hurt to check. I will also see if I can remove the fog in the maps too; had some complaints about one of the maps being too foggy. It's on my to do list after I've finished doing some studying.
