Hey, all! I'm Marauder_Pilot.
If you're a Mechwarrior: Dark Age fan, I'm Maraduer on MWRealms and WizKids (Although I rarely visit WK anymore), and Marauder_Pilot on Comstar ROM and Solaris 7.
I LOVE Outpost 3, and, a while back, offered to remake Knux's site. However, stuff caught up with me, and I wasn't able to do that. However, if Kunx wants, I'll still do that. Actually, I'm working on an Outpost 3 website as I type!
Anywho, my REAL name is Don, I live in St.Thomas, Ontario, I'm 16, and spend WAY too much time at my PC. WAY too much time.
I love Outpost 2, and, to a lesser extent, Outpost.
I do some VB programming, and will be learning C++ next year in my Grade 12 Computers class.
Aside from Outpost 2, I play Red Alert 2 alot, and spend too much time in any Mechwarrior or Battletech game I can find. I'm a HUGE Battletech fan. I play Mechwarrior: Dark Age, and am getting into Classic Battletech.
I'd like to do anything I can for Outpost 3-either of them-so, If you have menial, simple work, send it to me! :unsure:

Hello. My name is Silverion. I am AKA Digital Ice. I play OP2, Wolfenstein:Enemy Territoy, Call of Duty, and Runescape. I am active on thefunnyfarm.net, a host to many clans, including the clan I am in called{iCs}, a clan focusing on FPS games like W:ET and CoD. I might think about joining one for OP2...
Anyways, I host my own website, available at http://digital.dyns.net (http://digital.dyns.net). I keep information about those games I play on that site, aswell as downloads, music, webgames, and funny videos...
I've been on the internet since 1995 ish. I have gone by many nicks until Digital Ice came to me. I used that prominently through 2000-2002, I just now came up with Silverion about six months ago.
I program for The Palace chat client, I know HTML, CSS, VB, Javascript, BASIC, and CyBasic.
Thank you for your welcomes and all that, and I hope that I can be a part of this community very well. :D

Hello all, I'm generally known as Gwyned. I am a long-time lurker on this forum, but finally decided to roll up my sleeves and get more involved. I am so excited to see a community of fellow Outpost 2 lovers who are willing to invest time and energy into this great game!
I've never really tried playing multiplayer Outpost 2...perhaps I can be persuaded to give it a try sometime...
-
Hello,
I've been interested in reverse engineering Outpost 2 for years now but I always get too busy and forget about it before making much progress. I've been reading the posts on the topic and I'm fairly impressed with how far you guys are getting. I'm interested in helping out on this (although I tend to be a little busy). I have a fair bit of experience in C/C++ and x86 Assembly (among other languages like VB, Java, Pascal, etc. and some assembly for the Sparc with a bit of 68k, 6502, MIPS, Itanium, PDP-11) I have a lot of experience in finding out how various games store their data as well as tracing though assembly code. I've managed to make various simple editors (Hex codes work for me :D ) for a number of games including: Pax Imperia, Warcraft, Warcraft II (not much point I admit), Dune2, Dune 2000 (I actually bothered with graphics for this one :D ), Civ, Civ II, Legend of the Red Dragon, Usurper, and especially Trade Wars, countless emulator games, etc. Come to think of it, there aren't many games I own that I haven't tried editing in some way.
Anyways, I'm nearing the end of a Computer Science degree (Honours) with a concentration in Game Design. (Actually a combined degree with Pure Math honours and a concentration in cryptography, for those who care :D )
So, in short, I can follow along with the posts on the OP2 DLL's, PE headers, etc. and I'm interested in helping out. Anyone working on that stuff want to point me in a particular direction they need work on?

I'm called Philippe. 17 years old and I live in Quebec, Canada.
I played my first Outpost 2 game 5 or 6 years ago . After what I slowly stopped, having only my friend to play with, after WON was shut down. I checked every 6 month maybe what was new in the Outpost X universe, and now I find this forum and IRC channel.
I'm a BSD/linux user since 3 years, I know basic programming using C, php, C++, but nothing big, I'm still not in university and I study Pure and Applied Science into the CEGEP.
I really hope that the user base is still strong enough to improve the game in the upcoming release .. if there is one .. or just to provide a hot nest where we can gather and play a good game when we feel like it.
From now on I'll stay tuned to keep me up to date, in case I can contribute.
Cheers.

Finally got the time to post this...
I'm Cctoide, a name that has too deep of an origin to explain in a post.
I always loved OP2 even though I've only played it for a year or so, and was delighted to hear about the apparent renaissance that's going on.
I'm 11 and I broadcast from Vila Nova de Gaia, Oporto, Portugal.
My interests include PC, PC, PC, lil' bit of HTML/C++, bike riding, and hopefully model railroading :find: ...
I guess that's about it...

Hi, I'm FallTime, I'm from Czech Republic, I speek English, Czech, Slovak and now I'm learning German. I'm a programmer, I work with Win2K for programming and Win98 for gaming. I'm programming in Pascal, Delphi, C, VB, VC#.NET, VB.NET, eVB, PhP, Asp, Asp.NET, HTML, JavaScript and ... Amstrad BASIC ;) . I play strategy games, RPG, Dungeons and sometimes adventures. I like oldgames instead of the new ones ... Outpost 1/2, StarCraft, Ultima Online, Ashavar Legacy, Constructor, Alien Legacy ... ( 2 pages of raw text ) ... and sometimes Counter Strike and Unreal Tournament if I need to clean my mind. I'm currently writing a book, unfortunately in Czech, about one of my most popular games: X-COM. It's called X-COM: MegaMinders and it is situated after the end of Frontier wars and Apocalypse. Wanna know anything more ?

I built my first Altair in 1978 while in high school. If you don’t know what this is, or why it was/is important then a little history research is in order. I work and play as a software developer/manager. Currently working mostly in VB6 and VB.NET (also .NET CF). I've now worked in or used so many computer "languages" that it doesn't make much difference anymore. Is there anyone out there who was part of the Outpost 1 or 2 development teams?

Hi anyone who has nothing better to do than read this post (I mean who cares about new posts. lol)! I'm Mark Cartwright from Belrin, Gemany. I am, however, an American citizen (a Texan, at that) and enjoy playing Outpost 2. It is really an outstanding game and would be even more fun to play with other people; but, sadly, I have not yet had the opportunity to sharpen my skills by playing head-to-head over LAN or TCP/IP.
It's been a couple of weeks (I think) since I've joined, and so I'm finally putting up this introduction/bio. I have a couple of Q's about playing IRC, though. Can it be done within a LAN? Can OP2 be played freely across the Internet even though I may be in a LAN? I heard that sometimes the IP for every computer in a LAN is identical for Internet servers. Might that pose a problem?
I am not an OP2 master, however. I played it a LOT when I had it 6 years ago, but then gave the game to a friend. Now, though, thanks to the dedicated efforts of the OPU team, I can play one of my favorite strategy games again!
Anyway, if someone wants to play a game with me, I'm game. And, if you want to practice your German, Russian, or whatever, I like to practice foreign languages, too. Oh, by the way, I'm 18 and I graduated from high school last Friday, June 25th. Looking forward to some games and chats!
-
Hey, this forum sounds like people I like.

-
Sorry, Didn't realize you cant edit on this forum. Anyway, I'm Spiderldr, or Jeff, as most call me. I love outpost 2 and have been playing it off and on since I was 10. I'm currently living in The USA and I'm 17. There, Thats my little Intro.

Hello I'm Sl0vi, more known as Bernie and ehm...
First played outpost 2 when I saw it in a store, took a look at it, and it seemed interesting and it was!!! Never truly stopped playing again, and yeah.... now I'm here!

Hello, I'm Nomi, or Sarah to those who know me. I found this site when searching Google on a whim. I haven't played OP2 in several years, but I used to a lot back when WON was still up and active. It's a shame Sierra gave up on it, but we all know that so I needn't lament the fact!
I'm 22 and in college right now.
I like RPGs, strategy games, and adventure games.
I was one of the leaders of the old Jedi clan back in the day, going by:
Mistress Nomi [Jedi]£. I don't know how many of you remember that clan or its leaders, but I still see Masters Kadesh and Borden from time to time, and Master Kish is my brother, so I see him a lot! We were founded during the time KORT was still around, and if I remember right, Black Dragon separated from us to form their clan. I hope there aren't still hard feelings! Anyway, it's good to see at least a few references to familiar names and events. I read elsewhere that Snappy is doing well and is at an AirForce academy. Good for him! Anyway, I'm off to post in clan threads!

Hi, my names Braden Stranks, and I'm making the 3d models for Garretts outpost 3. I play outpost 2 whenever I can, though I'm not too great at it. eventually I'm going to sign up so I can play online multiplayer games, but I have too much school right now....
-
Hello everyone. I think its about time I registed here, since I'm a long time Outpost 2 fan. I could put a decent bet in that I've played Outpost 2 longer than anyone here! I've been playing since the original demo, and I got the game as soon as it came out (When it was still costly). I played a fair bit of multiplayer back in the SIGS days, but I haven't kept up with things since it got shut down. Anyways maybe if I can figure out how to use all this multiplayer stuff I can get playing again.
-
Garrett's Bro, just like the name states.

Heeeeys!
I played OP2 on SIGS / Won right until they were shut down. I'm not sure what name I was under... I only remember that I almost always played as Plymouth.
I've been checking up on the Outpost community every so often. And I recently did again.
I'm glad to see there's still a community for what was such a great series (well, I've never played the first one).

My name is Liz. I've been playing OP2 for a few years. I'm stuck and it's driving me insane! Not to mention my copy will not let me choose options anymore, it is stuck on hard. :( I love the game very much, even though I have played and beat it several times I still keep playing. I have not found another game just like it, have been looking though. Found this forum by looking for a manual, mine is in a box somewhere in the shed, for my step-son to play the tutorial. Hope someone can help me on this dang level. :unsure:

Hi, I'm Lordofsoul, i'm french, 19yo.
I discovered OP2 in its version of demonstration (in english... :unsure: English is not my strong point! I use currently a translator) and I liked much ! I find sad that the game does not have had more success...
I encourage the team to translate the game into French!! (thumbsup) Bye!

Hello All...
I was once known as the person ¤ÅM¤ Leviathan, or later known as {PÅ}Shady.
At one point in time I created a clan, it was called the Årcane Mystics.
Within 2 weeks of indoctrination, the Arcane Mystics were the 3rd most powerful clan, at the time, compared to Panthers and Shadows.
After many good games, and many fuedal arguments in WON, I decided to disband the AM along with fellow founder Atma.
I decided to create a guild of gamers well known to all of WON. I talked with a few of my friends, Falcon and Stalking Panther, and we decided (after a long conversation with falcon) we would call it the Patriarch Alliance. Not a clan, but an order of clans. Or as some would see, a training ground to get into a clan.
Original Founders: Atma Arcane, Falcon (Freelance), Stalking Panther, Shady Panther.
Now it's almost 2 years later, and I have no contact with Stalk, or Falcon
Would like to get back in touch with all my old friend and enemies!
Paco, Riledo, Rondt, Norad, etc...
Later Later

Revver here.
25, male.
Played when I was 16ish. Lost game and only recently found it. Used to love it so thought I would check it out online again. Having played one game I realise the tatics have changed and I am VERY out of practise!
-
This is Norad,
I first started playing in 1999 op2 was the first pc game i everplayed, and the first game i ever played online. My first clan was Team Fox clan after that I hooked up with Admiral S3 and followed him all the way to ADL ( Alpha Defense League) Im 23 now and was happy as a pig in crap when i stumbled onto a site where some guy was disgruntled about the new management of this new Op2 cummunity , but he was nice enuff to leave a link.
Op2 attracted alot of game designers...programers hackers.. when WON was on its way out i always wondered why none of these computer savvy people took up the torch. God knows if i was as smart with this stuff as some of you guys i would have lol but im glad lev and his crew did their thing and it looks great.
Thanks alot guys, keep it going!! (thumbsup)
-
Hey! i'm mem, a recovered op2 addict. seeing some names i recognize and its crazy! If you know me post a message! hi ril, high, norad! I hope there are some other people on here i know! its been sooooo long, i missed all you guys!

Hello. I played Outpost 2 on WON untill it closed. Every year I would look around for a place to play again. This year i got lucky. :)

Hello. I'm 22, 5"7', blonde, and enjoy quiet walks on the beach and candle lit dinners. I like younger men who aren't afraid to cry.
(the above is completely fake, but it sounded convincing, eh? Looking back on it, I can't believe what I just wrote. Ahem. And just to ease any confusion, I'm not gay. So let's move on.)
In case it isn't blindingly obvious, I've been here a long time, but don't think I've written anything here. Not big on introducing myself. Anyways, I'm crazy, to say the least. I think somebody asked if I was bipolar once... might have been panda, but don't quote me on that. Oh yeah, Plymouth sucks and Eden doesn't. I like Space Race, especially ones without fighting. Nice break from having to rush around mass-producing vecs. Of course, you're still mass-producing starship parts, but oh well.
And for the last time, I am NOT a communist!!!

Hey I'm mamajama, a long time outpost player. (1.0, now just ordered 1.5 and put it on my mac - won't run, but that's another topic). Me, I'm of the female persuasion, older than probably most on here, and....that's all ya need to know for now.
-
Well, then.
Screen name is MarioKartPrime, but since thats too long, I go by MKP while playing OP2. 18, attending Arizona State, male, yada yada yada. Faithful player of OP2 for over 10 years I think (I still have my origional disk). Can't use IRC 'cuz ASU won't let me access their router. Need to wait until I move out this summer. Posting so my account doesn't get deleted. Would really like to play more ppl on OP2 multiplayer, but sadly cant yet. Enjoy writing in incomplete sentences when rush-writing. Promise to do so never again.

Hi, y'all!
I'm Wild_Targ just about everywhere I go, so if you see it or a variation thereof, it's probably me. I'm on MSN, Yahoo!, and AIM using Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com) (but not ICQ or IRC yet), took classes on Visual Basic and C++ but then a lot of life events happened. Now I'm just married, and just getting back into using my computer after two years of chaos and uncertainty. There's more about me on my profile (just in case someone is curious), and I only have 1.5 right now. Might download 2 v 1.3.3 or 1.3.4 in the near future.
I have been using computers from age eleven, know DOS and some broken UNIX command-line, never quite got into computers professionally, and really like the atmosphere of OP1.5 (although I must confess the gameplay is wacky and waaaaay to abstract to be rightly called a 'game'; more like a managerial simulator).
(((THX)))

Well I found my way to the old forums and was disappointed to see hardly any activity. Then I found this one! w00t!
I'm PrincessLadyBug. That's a lot to type so feel free to call me LB or Bugley.
I'm probably old enough to be your mother, but I'm a geek girl and I play a few games when real life leaves me some fun time.
I got into OP2 about 4 years ago. I played it for a while and then real life stepped in and cut my gaming time. I'm back at it and more than a little rusty. I know it's lame but I like the colony games and I'm having trouble keeping my colonists alive. Those little buggers don't reproduce fast enough. :P
I've already found a few hints, so thanks!
Hope to see some of you around,
LB
P.S. You know who hears me scream in cyberspace? My neighbors. These walls are pretty thin.

Hey, i'm a giddy american that turned 19 on June 8th. I'm 6'5", and i graduated from high school sometime in the last semester if i remember right, i need a job and i am currently living at home with my parentals. I am often home 2 days a week though. I first got Outpost 2 when it hit the stores when it first came out(the first day). I haven't played it in years, it used to be my favorite game and now i just want to help make the next one if possible. I can use blender, 3ds max, maya, cinema 4d, and terragen and i can write little code here and there when i can manage remember things. I am going to major in architecture and or just maybe graphic design and script writing. I plan on attending university in Europe and getting engaged next summer. I am very vivid with life, if you need something just ask, i'll try and help you out.
Oh i do write a lot, i love writing(thats the script writer part of me).

Hello, all.
I just found this website, and boy, was I surprised! I thought I'd died and gone to heaven!
I spend a LOT of time (waaaay too much) at another forum, Total War Center, where I go by the same name.
I'm still... just amazed that there was an Outpost 2 fanbase...
I thought I was the only one in the world who knew about this game, let alone played it with a passion...
-
Welcome! There's a small core of active posters but everyone is pretty devoted to OP2. Hope to see you on the forum more. :)

Yeah thats a little about myself.

Let's see... my first taste of outpost was Outpost 1. I still play it now and again as it co-operates with my PC, mostly. When I first tried the Outpost 2 demo, I found it lacking, as it barely gave any instruction as to how to complete the demo mission (evacuating an Eden or Plymouth colony prior to a volcanic eruption) and little explanation of the gameplay mechanics. It wasn't until I was attempting to reinstall Lords of the Realm 2 that I saw an advert for Outpost 2 on the back of the Siege Pack's manual. I had heard decent things of it from another contact, and with my curiousity and sense of adventure on the move, decided to check OP2 out for the hell of it. I found OPU by sheer luck - though the link I followed was broken, I was not one to give up easily, and made my way to the main page, and then went after Outpost 2.
At first, without the manual or wiki to aid me, I found things... quite tough, actually. But I persisted. Eventually, over the scheme of the first few Plymouth campaign missions, a few Colony Games and a quarter-dozen Space Race skirmishes with a close friend, I picked up all the necessary mechanics and know-how to make the game (and my colonies) work relatively smoothly. I admit I still don't know the ins and outs of the tech tree, and I've only been playing for... two or three days, tops, but I managed to learn it quickly.
My plans here? Kick the wiki into gear and get it organized. It's a terrible mess and many pages are just blank and imageless. Maybe try my hand at some online games (I do not play very aggressively, so not exactly suited for Last One Standing) and/or map making.
I'm from the UK, and live in Cambridge. I prefer using Hamachi to play online as my router and firewall are a touch finicky.
'nuff said.
-
Talk to Lev, he's the only one who really cares about the Wiki.
Nice to see you though. Come on...
On, you're already on IRC. Never mind.

Greetings guys.
Name is Tim, from Seattle, WA area. Born September '86
My uncle, who happens to be a mechanical engineer for Aerospace introduced me to Outpost a while back. Enjoyed it but I had gotten used to RTS by that time, so the turn-based was a little difficult to grasp. Outpost 2 obviously made that change and I enjoyed for years until I lost the CD.
I'm glad this site exists.
I'm a Computer Science/Computer Engineering major in school, so while I'm not super familiar with any particaular lanugage at this point, I am pretty interested in dev (wiki or OP 3). Looked into working with the Homeworld community as well, but haven't been able to work around school/the rest of my life.

Hello, My name is Steven, I own Outpost1.5 on CD and recently dug it out of the file cabinet and reinstalled it on my laptop. The first attempt was failure, but then I tried to reload and avoided the system test, and low and behold I ended up with a sucessful download on Windows XP. Everything runs wonderful, and it has always been one of my fav's. I would like to expand it beyond the limited old CD. So I am only hoping to maybe pray that can happen here. I live in the northestern lower peninsula of Michigan on the Lake Huron shoreline. I work nights at a Hotel and have been there for 29 years.... (kind of lets you know my age somewhat.) This is my first forum that I've signed onto, so I may need help getting familiar with this.

Hi all,
Name is Franklin, Resident of Cincinnati OHIO....USA
Been playing OP2 for some time now (5+ yrs)
I play a decent game of OP2, beat the missions and now only play Colony games.
I am currently looking for a group to play multiplayer since i have broadband.
I use the map tool to edit my fav map and just use it to try out different strategies.
If you want to play a game please give me a ring on MSN IM.
MSN IM - f.whitfield@hotmail.com
Able to play anytime after 7pm EST
Thanks
Btw havnt gotten the IRC yet but will have it up in a bit.

Well.. I remember when OP1 was released, I was enrolled in Electronic Game Design. I remember the hype and the dissapointment that was so palitable over it's release. Friend of mine bought it and had trouble running it stable. Of course he'd pre-ordered it and got essentially the beta version. Most of the gaming community then promptly delegated Outpost to defunct history.
In recent years I'd been poking around at old games to see old ideas from a fresh perspective. To see that a community of Outpost fans actually existed was a bit of a surprise. I'm interested to give Outpost a second chance. Hope I can get it working on WinXP I don't seem to be having the success that others here have enjoyed.
Anyway.. I'm quite a bit older that the rest of ya. Reside in Canada, Male, Married. EX Game Designer.
-
Um, yeah... We're actually OP2 fans, mostly. OP1 is like OP2's retarded cousin that we put up with because OP2 is so ownage.

Come on IRC for multiplayer sometime.

favorite games: mechwarrior 2, Outpost 2, Doom.
i got outpost 2 a long time ago. i liked the game, but the disk got broken, and i couldnt play. later a friend told me that the game could be found here. i look forward to seeing some multiplayer games. (tried playing with my brother, but he still likes to see all his vehicles explode at the press of a button :find: )

name: Garrett
favorite games: outpost 2, starcraft ,diablo 2, the sims 1.
I was cleaning out my computer room when I found my outpost 1 and 2 discs and most of the manuals. I fired them up and found out that multiplayer no longer worked :(. I typed ["outpost 2" multiplayer] into google and hit I'm feeling lucky. This site popped up so I joined. I remember this game was awesome back in the day and I'm glad some other people still play. I haven't played this in ages so I probably suck, so bear with me.
About me: I'm currently at a college in my state (I'll tell in a game but not in public) majoring in electrical engineering and minoring in computer science. If anyone else knows how to mod or wants to start shoot me a pm. I just turned 19 on February first w00t. I know C/C++, VB, and Java. If anyone can give me a few pointers (hehe pun) on how to start modding and adding to the game I'm really interested so please shoot me a PM.
Is there a place where I could see all the statistics like range, damage, colonist growth rates at different morale levels?
-
Well hi. Umm, idk, but if you PM Hooman, he might apply you for a job on the site. The site has some common members, but if you play starcraft and op2, then i think you must hate half yourself :P but yeah, welcome to Outpost Universe.
theres a patched version on the site if you want to play online.
-
Hiya, I guess you could say that I'm a returning member. I've been around since we were on Killers forum. I use to play outpost 2 around 2001-3ish (Mostly single player never could keep up on the multilayer games).
I'm currently taking CS 162 (Java II) and MTH 252 (Integral Calculus) at Linn Benton Community Collage. I'm trying to get a BA in Computer Science/Mechanical Engineering miner in Business.
I hope to help out around if I can. I know some html, php and I'm working on learning Java. I also do some 3d modeling as a hobby.

Ohh, 64. I think that's a new record! :)

I believe you're correct...Eddy B was the oldest...I think...but he was born in 1970, so that's not nearly as old, heh
-
Not sure why, but I randomly googled my old name (Admiral Mizzion) from Outpost 2 and found this forum again. Sort of impressed that my first and still my favorite RTS multi-player game is community supported and still somehow going.

Time to get back and play a couple of games then Miz

Time to get back and play a couple of games then Miz
Perhaps, but I would probably be a ghost my former self :). The time invested in this game to know the fastest build order and the research tech tree backwards and forwards is probably long gone from my memory capacity.
Been reading over some threads and noticed some people think us "PA" People were cheaters. It has been almost 8 years since I last played and still being called cheaters is a badge of honor in my opinion.
I don't think most realized back then, or now, that myself and the others like Falcon and Stalking were pretty much the originators of the build/research order and even the no mark style game play. We were also the ones who popularized the 3 by 2 ore collection method. 3 smelters and 2 cargo trucks per smelter for each mine that was pretty much the standard used.
I still remember Stalking and I teaching Rondt how to play the game. Come to think of it, I wonder what ever happened to my friends. Kind of fell out of touch with any of them after about 2001 when I went on to College.
-

We got rid of that lame style of playing years ago. High mark games = win.

Disagree, but its matter of personal opinion. High Mark games were the standard until our "crew" I guess you could call it started doing No Mark stuff. When its a race to see who can compete the fastest it is more thrilling then the slow paced mark game play.

not in my opinion. When you're just rushng to be the first one with weapons, you are not using strategy at all. That's why I always play on big maps instead of pie :P
-
Yes, no mark game removes the full potential of this game. If you're really that good and fast, then you'll do just as fine in a long mark game.
Especially since in low mark games, Eden is at a disadvantage. Such big of a disadvantage that hey can't compensate. In long mark games, however, the balance shifts in favor of Eden, but Plymouth can still use tactics (a lot of tactics) to make use of their own advantages and stand a good chance against them.
Don't worry about being a cheater today. Cheats are removed. You can only be a n00b tactic user, which gets you rapidly hated.
-

Don't worry about being a cheater today.
I'd actually disagree with you there Hidiot. I'd say a No mark game opens up the full potential of the game. As CK9 so wrongly puts it, it's not about who gets weapons first, it's a lot more than that. You always have to watch what your enemy is doing - can you afford to expand to a second mine or will your opponent take you down because you waste ore on just that ? You can go for stronger units or better techs ? Upgrade of smelters to get more ore or upgrade of units ?
As it were back then, games with no mark could usually go past mark 1000 or higher, because no clear advantage could be decided until then.
With a high mark game you just get everything in the package by the time the mark is up and the games outcome is usually decided by location rather than skill. Get a place with easy to defend bottlenecks and you'll easily ravage anyone caught out in the open.
Sure, Eden stands no chance in a 1 vs 1 situation in a small map vs Plymouth. But, toss in a big distance between players or a few allies and it's by no means impossible to survive as Eden.
I guess Miz is referring to PÅ players virtually being the best players when they were around - so naturally they were accused of cheating when they usually won vs nub's. never caught any of them cheating though, the creators were at least opposed to cheating.
Anyways Miz, you should get on IRC and play a couple of games with us. I'm sure the stuff will come back quite quickly ;)
-
As far as I know none of us cheated in real games. Did we get accused a lot, sure, but I think it was more a player's own arrogance and not believing they could get beaten so easily without cheats. I agree with you highlander in regards to no marks. I found them much more strategically orientated then the High Mark counterparts. It forced a player to learn.
In no mark games it was more about being able to efficiently move into the different phases of the game from start, mid game, and end game effectively and efficiently. In no mark games in my opinion you needed to understand how to play the game, what research order was best given the current situation, and so forth. Where as in a high mark game really it didn't come down to anything other then evening the playing field. It became less about skill the higher the mark was. I remember a lot of 1000+ mark (no mark) games being played.
-
As CK9 so wrongly puts it, it's not about who gets weapons first, it's a lot more than that.
In my experience, it's always whomever gets the weapons first will wipe the floor with the others on smaller maps. However, what you say holds true for medium sized maps and up. Piechart is a boarderline map, as people who think like lev do rush through a building order and get weapons as fast as they can. Meanwhile, other people will think along the same lines you talk about.
Personally, I think small maps should always be mark games, otherwise it's over too quickly to be any fun.
-
I'm EMP Missle Guy.
I live in Michigan, USA (Land O' Really Big Lakes! :lol: )
I know a little about coding, but I suck at it.
I stumbled across this website when I became curious about OP2 tech trees. Being to lazy to make my own, I figured somebody must've made one thereselves. I headed to the forums and found a nice looking flow chart to fit my needs. But on the way out, I realized there was a website load of outpost fanatics like myself. Yes. I'm not very observant. Seeing no harm or foul, I began looking at project screens. I guess lots of progress is being made here! Keep up the good work! (thumbsup)
-
I've been gone a long time.... like almost 4 years. i cant get sick of this game
Out of curiosity... are the ore trainers still available? i take great pleasure in playing the colony games and currently have no interest in multi until all the rust has been rubbed off.
also, is there any better way to communicate with you guys, i noticed the last post was in august
-
p.s. i am soooo not windows savy anymore. i've been engaged with my mac for a while now and have been depressingly divorced from my ol' dell
-
if you look through more than simply the introduction thread I'm sure you'll find the answers to all your questions.
For OP2 related questions search through the Outpost2 section of the forum.
If you wish to communicate then i suggest you make use of IRC :)
-
Heh, yes welcome. First new member in a while. The signup has probably been broken since August. :blush: There's been activity in other sections though.
Btw, you may want to consider using edit if you need to add more to your post before anyone replies.
I vaguely remember an ore trainer somewhere, but I can't remember the details at the moment. There might be something in the programming forum about such a project, or someone else with some info on how to handle that.
-
Hey, I'm new here. In the next few days I'll be trying to dl some of the patches and get online. I've never played online before, only the missions. However, I'm a good Starcraft/AoE player, so I should catch on quicker...
I'm having problems with the Eden missions tho... Mission 4?? It's the mission where you have to extract info from labs about the blight. My scouters won't transfer the lab info??? Any ideas?
-
Welcome. Come on the IRC for a game. As for the scout mission, no clue, never did the campeign.
-
Read the briefing. It tells you to move the Scouts right next to the lab. Make sure you don't click on the Lab itself.
-
As Sirbomber says.
The scout needs to stand still for a few seconds on a tile adjacent to the labs (I don't think a corner works, though).
-
I've actually had problems with the scouts as well. They scan the labs alot faster if you position all four scouts around the lab.
-
Hello,
I'm new here but that's only because I didn't know you had a site until now.
My name is Mark, nick is Mangler because I'm an old C++ programmer.
Way old, white beard etc. Live in boondocks.
Been playing OP then OP2 since they came out, I've always considered OP2 to be nearest thing to the perfect sim/game. It got such a bashing from the game critics of the era; it is nice to see that I'm not the only one who liked it.
-
Hello Mangler XIV. If you would like to play against some of us online, hop on our IRC channel. There is a in browser applet on the site, or #outpost2 @ irc.outpost2.net:6667. It might be a bit before someone notices you as we sometimes idle in there.
Enjoy your stay.
-
We have weekly "Friday Bashes" which (supposedly) last all day, though.
-
Brilliant idea, inform him of the worst time to start online play, the week of DM666z.[/sarcasm]

Hi all,
Elwood here! :)
Years ago I bought a copy of Outpost at a used software store and got hooked. So when Outpost 2 came out I bought it right away and have been playing it on and off ever since. I most enjoy playing colony games because of their unscripted nature and the ability to start a game, play for a little while, save it, and come back later when I have time and pickup where I left off.
I was really pleased to find your forum and so many people who still enjoy this great game. I've already upgraded to the OPU version of the game and tried the additional colony games that come with it, plus the New Colony Games (http://forum.outpostuniverse.net/index.php?showtopic=4734) created by angellus.
My hat's off to the all folks who built this place and work to keep it going.
Elwood

Hey guys,
I'm Andrew, and I've been a fan of Outpost 2 for quite some time. I played it years ago when it was newer (though I wasn't any good) and just picked it up again (although I'm still not very good). Luckily, I stumbled onto this board to find that other people still like OP2 too!
Anyway, I'm 19 year old student at SIUE (Southern IL University Edwardsville), though I'm (pretty much) from Springfield, IL. I'm majoring in Computer Science. Coheed and Cambria is the s***.
It's nice to meet all of you.
-
Welcome to the boards, Good Apollo.
From your description, I look forward to seeing you around here. You say you're studying CS, so you have high chances of being neatly integrated in our little community. Not that there are a lot of CS people around, but a lot of us hold interest in computers (hardware or software or both, depending on the person).
-
hello
-
welcome to the forums. hope you like it here.
now that im thinking about it, why did i never intro myself?
-
Hi...
-
flashy, that was kinda rude...understandable skepticism with how many we're still getting, but still rude.
Welcome, be sure to check in often, and if you can download the OPU IRC to be able to play against others.
-
"hello" for an introduction is not much material to build upon. Being nice just for the sake of it as such is debatable, at least for some.
-
well mabie if he posts more we will know him better.
-
well, from what I've seen in the shoutbox he's not a bot...plus his details don't show up in the database.
-
if your talking about hardhead, your right, he is not a bot. i know him personally. i had to talk him through the sign up process.

I am new to Outpost 1, purchased the CD at a trade show in the 80's and just opened it Sunday 6/17/2012. It is addictive :rolleyes: I live in Michigan and know C++, Visual Basic 2008, Adobe Flash CS5 and some HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. My birthday is October 8. I played the game all day yesterday and have vague memories of the past week.

Welcome to the club :D

Lol, nice intro. :lol:
-
Hello I am a huge fan of outpost 2, been playing it since I could use a computer, so around 4 years old.
I am 18 years, born on April 4, 1994
I love playing video games for entertainment, but I hate it when people get overly competitive.
I live in California in the desert, where it is hot, dry, and never airless.
I have to say this site surprised me. I never thought that there were still others playing such an old yet classic strategy game as outpost 2.
-
Hello there, nice to know there are still people interested in Outpost 2 and find their way into these forums. Maybe there are even chances at playing some multiplayer. (Even though I'm somehow unable to install the program for the chat)
-
I have been trying to play mutiplayer for years, but either couldn't find anyone to play, or couldn't figure out how. :(
-
At least back when we used IRC instead of XMPP, I could join the chat and sometimes there would be people helping you set up a game. Of course I haven't seen what's going on in the chat lately because of the aforementioned reasons.
-
Nice post i like this very much and thanks for share this fantastic post . :D
-

AFAICT, work is being done on making the XMPP chat room more accessible. I’ve opened a post to present alternate clients and I’m hoping the server would change to something less buggy and more complete.

Hello everybody I am helpmenow. I found outpost 2 in a trash can and started playing it. It isn't bad. The only reason I am on this forum is because I am waiting to test an important result from my forum topic. Could someone tell me more about the game? I had a little trouble starting it...
-
Hey both Truewolf and HelpMeNow. HMN, Outpost 2 is a space city/war simulator, but if you are going to play it, I suggest you download the version from the site, it's a bit more updated :P
-
Hello helpmenow!
I hope, the mysteriousness of your presence here will soon become clearer. Right now I'm just not seeing what you want.
Outpost 2 is about the time after Earth got destroyed by a huge meteor and only a few humans managed to escape to some other planet which they called New Terra. New Terra wasn't exactly Earth and thus they had to stay in their structures and tubes and they also began to terra form the planet. Some colonists didn't like the terra forming and founded another colony called "Plymouth" (the original one being "Eden"). The microbe which was designed for terra forming got out of control and they had to evacuate again.

Greetings Everyone!
I am MegaGamer2010, aka Mega. Have been playing Outpost 2 for a long time and still really like it. I would like to some help from someone to make a map for the game as I'm not able to figure out how to use the mapper (not a programmer...). I'm just looking for something simple and big. I like to build large cities with no worry of disasters or cliffs, and plentiful mining. If anyone can help me with this, please let me know.
Thanks!
-
Hello MegaGamer. Nice for you to join the community. Saddly, I am a bit busy this week (on vacation, woot) but I'm sure someone can help you out.
-
Thanks, have a good vacation!
-
Hi, there, I've read your post. I wondered, does it have to be a new map made by you?? Maybe it would just be enough to start Outpost 2 twice, host your own multiplayer game without disasters. You'd just have to make sure the other colony doesn't die off.
(I'm suggesting this because I don't remember any custom colony game without disasters)
If you really want to have your own map, it would require the Outpost 2 mapper to create a basic map and a compiler for a mission-dll to start and initialize the mission. Of course you can do that, but installing a compiler for that would be a little bit of a hassle.
For that matter, does anyone else still have their Outpost SDK ready who could quickly solve this problem? I still have mine on a different system.
-
Welcome to the Outpost Universe!
Maps in Outpost 2 are made off two parts, the map file which describes the terrain and the dll file which is for placement of mining beacons, disasters, ai etc.). The mapper is mainly useful to create the map file. It can also be used to generate a source code file for the dll, which will have to be compiled in a compatible environment (i.e. with the SDK). You, as a non-programmer, should be able to create the map file and place mining beacons and units with the mapper. Once you did that I'll happily compile the dll for you.
-
Thanks for the responses all!
Flashy, thanks for your suggestion. I have done this a couple of times, and can do this ok, but would rather not have to get two bases up and run all the time, it's a bit stressful...
TH300, I'll see what I can do in the mapper. I have worked with it a few times, but could not understand all that had to be done. However, with what you have told me, I will see what I can do, and then send you a map file.
Once I have a completed Map, what would I do to be able to play it in game?
Also, I would enjoy playing this game with other people. I don't personally care for 'Last Man Standing' types, but would play that. With this game, leisure play is more fun to me.
-
Well, if it helps, you don't actually have to create a new map file, you can just pick one of the old map files if it is too much for you. Someone with a working mission sdk could generate a dll file for you, which just has have a name that begins with a c (in order to make the game list it as a "colony game" type) , is not longer than 7 characters (excluding the .dll file extension) and placed in your outpost 2 folder (along with the map file).
-
Ok, I have made a map file for Outpost 2. It is very simple and basic as far as the layout. I have three files in the place where I saved the map file, one is the .map file, one is .map.dat, and the other is one that I made by 'Generating Code' in the OP2Mapper, it is .map.cpp.
(If y'all can help me understand what to do from this point, I might be able to do this myself...)
-
It has been a while since I've used the mapper, but as far as I know, the .dat file saves building/unit/beacon information exclusively for the mapper. The .cpp file is a c++ source file that contains aforementioned information ready for inclusion into a dll file. To do it yourself, you'd need some basic understanding of c++ programming and a little knowledge of the Outpost 2 software development kit. If you think it's worth the effort, you can look into sirbomber's helpful tutorials that explain OP2 programming (without explaining c++ basics) http://forum.outpost2.net/index.php?showtopic=4796 (http://forum.outpost2.net/index.php?showtopic=4796)
If you prefer to ask another helpful member of this forum, you'd just have to give the name of your map file and that .cpp file (assuming it contains the start building placements you wish for) and someone could probably do this part for you.
As a little sidenote, you may want to create a new topic for this, I'm sure the others don't mind, but it would take up less space in the introduction thread.
-
If you can't do it yourself, put the map file and the cpp file into a zip archive and upload it in our file forum (under general interest).
-
Thanks for the suggestion Flashy about moving this conversation to a different place in the forum, I thought that I ought to do that.
TH300, I am going to read thru the tutorials from SirBomber and go from there. I will send u a msg and start a new topic once I've gone thru all that. I'll start it in the Coding sub-forum since that is mainly the issue I have right now.

Hello,
I am a retired Lockheed Aeronautical Engineer. My birthday is 3 Feb., 1941.
I really enjoyed playing these games when I could afford the time.
Now I've got the time and hope to play them a lot.
My wife and I live above the Columbia river in North Central Washington State.
I'll probably need a lot of help getting both of these games to run on my PC.
Look forward to hearing from many of you.
-
Welcome.
You know, I was looking at a job at Lockheed once, but one of the requirements was a "secret" level clearance, and I don't have the patience to deal with people "losing" the paperwork several times over, heh
Feel free to post questions if you get stuck trying to make it work. Most of the people here tend to just lurk, but you will get help.
-
Welcome SmilinJack!
Looks like Eddy is no longer the OPU Grandpa :D
It got calm at OPU, but you can still enjoy the games.
-
Thank You CK9,
A secret clearance was no problem for me. When Lockheed offered me the job I was just out of the Navy where I had been serving in submarines.
They were very understanding and supportive. I was just married and attending night school pursuing my first degree in engineering.
Somewhere I did post a question about getting Outpost 1.5 to work on my PC when it is in Windows Virtual XP mode.
Maybe, you know where I can post that question?
Thanks for the welcome and, in advance, for your suggestion.
-
A lot of the veteran members here will remember me, but for the new ones, I'm Drakmar (more commonly known as James these days) and I've been around since the old NHCS days. I've recently rediscovered my deep love for the game and have gotten back into it. Even introduced a few of my co-workers and friends to the classic.
Blah, I hate doing those. From what I can see, the forums aren't quite as active as I remember them being in the past. Hopefully I just happened to return from my extended hiatus at one of our many lull periods. :)
-
Not sure about the Lull period the forums have been in a state of atrophy with the most activity being done by two people in the spam section. Im not even sure if the IRC is still running at this point.
-
I have to admit that Newterrancommandsite has drawn most of the attention left at Outpostuniverse. Even though it's currently a bit quit there, too. And as far as I know there hasn't been an OPU IRC channel for a fairly long time. NTCS does have a chat though. That's why anyone who wants to chat is there.
-
Yea, OPU is almost dead. There are 3 main reasons I see for this:
- Our site admins either have lost interest or are too busy with real world responsibilities
- Our older members have a tendency to shoot down new members who try to start up new discussions because "we've already discussed that in full, here's the archive link"
- Many people have become complacent with the idea that there is no point in trying to keep the game going anymore
-
Hello All, I am formerly known as Peacemaker.
Just checking in to see how things are. I just downloaded the recent version and would like to test the netfix if anyone is up for it

Hello MSteele0. Nice that you come back (although I don't remember a "Peacemaker". If you want to play games, you should join us on irc (#outpost2 on irc.quakenet.org). You'll need some patience, since many people there are idling most of the time.

Welcome back Peacemaker! Thanks for the games! Hope to see you around the forums and IRC :)

Hello and good evening from where I am at. My name is Unknownreaver, my birthday is 12/27/1991.
As for hobbies....sleeping, working, and doing what needs to be done.
-
I'm tempted to say a young one, but that must mean I'm getting old.
Welcome.
-
Hello, I am entropino, I am currently 18 but when I first played outpost 2 I was a lot younger(was no native speaker so I failed a lot). Maybe I will try to get into this game again, I watched an (unfinished) lp of the game (2) some time ago and with that also got very interested in the story(which I seem to need to finish myself), maybe I will become competent enough to try multiplayer in the future. I like to play: Stronghold, Majesty and I want to play Conquest of Elysium 3 online once(I also want to try perimeter online). I like roguelikes, and lore/story heavy games(I am currently interested in king of dragon pass)
-
Welcome. How old were you when you first played Outpost 2?
-
I think 7 or something like that.

Hah
That is young.
It can be amusing to watch a computer play.
-
Welcome entropino :) You sound like a RTS gamer, like many of us here. Outpost 2 is a classic and worth the time to learn. We have a chatroom, hope to see you there and we can help you with multiplayer.

Hi Outpost_Pete here. Love the Outpost 1.5 game and the revamped work done for the download.(Have played 2.0 but not as enjoyable.) Thanks cause my original disc does not work on current computer! Download version is a little glitch y unless I turn down screen resolution to half. I have always wondered why? Does it have to do with being written for for 1994 - 32 bit computer/now on 64 bit 2016 thing?
-
Welcome!
Outpost was written for 16-Bit computers (specifically Windows 3.1 which never came in a 32bit version). 32Bit flavors of Windows were able to run 16bit code using an emulation core (NTVDM I believe) which was dropped in 64Bit versions.
If you have any issues running the package we put together head on over there and post away, I'll gladly answer any questions you may have.
-
Hello, welcome.
My current computer has no optical drive. They're getting pretty rare these days. I have piles of old CDs and DVDs at home, but nothing to read them with anymore.

Hint: USB External optical drive. At most $20 in the US. No idea in Cambodia or China or wherever you are these days.
