. Heard many times - "Enjoy - life goes by very quickly". Never really thought about it much till now. Boy is that true. Seems like yesterday I was playing stick ball on the streets of the Bronx where I grew up (my game name TBB - The Bronx Bomber). Family moved to Paramus, NJ in '56. It became known as a shopping center hub. Back then there were no shopping centers - no garden State Parkway, no high school. I was in the 4th graduating class of Paramus High School. We had our 60th reunion two years ago. From there graduated from Rutgers. Then spent 4 years getting graduate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. Spent 35 years designing and developing computer systems. After that taught math at a local college for 8 years then retired. Bought my house in '76 - got married in '80 - my son was born in '90 - my wife passed 2012 - been with my girlfriend since 2015. Been hanging out with a bunch of >IDIOTS< since 2010. Thanks @Ruggerxi for establishing this group. Spent many fun hours here getting to know the crew - to name a few - @loaderXI @BUDMAN @LtLaszlo @Icequeen @WldPenguin @major-mark63 @PimpedOutPete @jointz @bds1961 @BigPapaDean @FRENCHI @google @HarryWeezer @Joe Canadian Below pictures of my birthday dinner with my girlfriend and one of my son. Will be revisiting this when I turn 90. So enjoy - life goes by in a blink!!!!

@TBB 80 is the 50 my friend! You look great and I'm so happy you crossed paths with this clan, and decided to hang around ever after you seen how nuts this place really is.

Ahhhh Well done TBB, what a great post. You have done well my friend and a life well spent with many years to come. Thank you for sharing plus your gf is beautiful, you better marry her before she figures out how much of a true idiot you are! Lol.. You are one of the reasons why this group is amazing. Thank you Pete (Ter)

A life lived well with so much more to come. Great job, great life well lived.

That's why everyone is still here ...

Wow you hold 80 yrs very good , look younger and sure your heart is still younger too..

New year, new rotation? Continuing the three month rotation I have in place, I have now created and uploaded the new packs and rotation to the server, ready for everyone to download and get in. !!YOU WILL NEED TO DELETE THE WIN_25 MAP PACKS FROM YOUR COD2/MAIN FOLDER!! I am not responsible for cleaning up your CoD2 main folder. You know the drill. You cannot delete these with the game open. You must have the game closed. If you get an invalid .iwd referenced, remember it and delete it from your CoD2 main folder. Here are the maps: SPR_26_SNP cs_harbor em_waterworld frchampdebataille fr_desert_village_f fr_vieux_village_v2 SPR_26_SNP2 fr_villedesnipeb mp_hill_sniper mhz_sb_f mhz_shx mp_bosconova mp_churchmap mp_omaha_sniper2 SPR_26_TDM mp_carpen mp_codcastle2 mp_coldfront_2 mp_cologne mp_courtyard mp_gdctrain SPR_26_CTF mp_desert_fox mp_eaglejunction mp_forest2 mp_lflnchateau_lib mtl_dawnville And here is the rotation: gametype ctf map mp_railyard gametype tdm map cs_harbor map mp_carpen map em_waterworld gametype ctf map mp_desert_fox gametype tdm map frchampdebataille map mp_codcastle2 map fr_desert_village_f gametype ctf map mp_harbor gametype tdm map fr_vieux_village_v2 map mp_coldfront_2 map fr_villedesnipeb gametype ctf map mp_eaglejunction gametype tdm map mp_hill_sniper map mp_cologne map mhz_sb_f gametype ctf map mp_forest2 gametype tdm map mhz_shx map mp_courtyard map mp_bosconova gametype ctf map mp_lflnchateau_lib gametype tdm map mp_churchmap map mp_gdctrain map mp_omaha_sniper2

Thanks Skuzapo!

Thank You Skuzapo!

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.

Cheers to 80 and many more !!!

Looking sharp Marty @tbb and a life well lived. Miss seeing you in the monthly happy hours. Drop in for a visit next month!

Can bog be best of 11?

f___that ...

I have changed my name from The MysticAngel to JDMxUNICORN,this has been carried out by ROCKAPE>XI<ADM at my request and all records have been updated.

After I joined, there was this guy who kept bugging me with pix of all his damed knives. Then they told me he knew I liked sticking it where it hurt, lol. TBB You have been a friend since I started. Better protect that beautiful lady lol J/K

Thank you Skuz!

Thank you Skuz!

Thank-you skuzapo

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

Pain we all are very grateful for everything you do for the COD2 servers. Just one question though, I thought the server locked up on one map on Saturday because it seemed to freeze at the end of a map and I don't remember the maps name but I know I quit the game and had to refresh the main server menu several times before the TDM server showed up again on the list however when I got back in the game was playing and was about half way done. Was this because of it freezing up or was it the end of the rotation? I just ask because if we have a map that is causing it to freeze in the past that map is usually removed from the rotation? Everyone knows that I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer but had to bring it up just in case there is a bad map... Again THANK YOU FOR BEING SO DEDICATED and putting up with me

Thank you Skuz!

Hi, I've been back home for two days now and I'm doing quite well. My breath gets a little thin when I talk, but I only need oxygen when I'm walking. It gets a little better every day. I'll come online today and see how it goes.
