Hi. I'll see you around then I guess? Have fun here.

Welcome buddy.
You have come to the right place. Just come on irc (download it here (http://www.outpostuniverse.net/irc.php) ) and you will have a lot of fun ;p
Hope you will enjoy your stay

That's funny, because I got this game the same way. My friend let me borrow a really old cd he found in his attic. It was all black on the underside instead of blueish clear, and it made weird noises in my CD rom, but it worked anyways. Unfortunately, shortly after that my dad decided to cut my games off. Now I can't play.
But anyways - great to have you here. You really should download IRC, because we do a lot of the talking here.
If you ever get bored you can go to the bottom two forums from the main screen. Those have riddles, and fun little games devised by our members.
You can also download tools for OP2 from the tools page. I don't really know what most of them do, but I know that there is one for making maps, and a bunch of other stuff. Talk to Leviathan or Hacker to find out more about them if you want to use them.
If you're a good coder, know a programming language, or anything else related to game making, there are several projects going on on OP2. One of them is for a 3-D OP3, and some other interesting ideas. There's forums for each one. If you want to help out, then go talk to the people in charge of those projects (I'm not sure who they are) and they will be glad to accept your help.
In my opinion, this community is one of the most calm communities around. I've been to other forums, and there are fights all the time. Here, however, if someone causes trouble or tries to start a fight, no one really joins in, and the administrators take care of the rebel. This makes our community much more stable, because fights always end with threats to leave the community.
But what I'm really trying to say, is that you don't have to feel threatened by anyone here, because there is really no cause for anyone to threaten anyone. So feel at home and enjoy the great game of OP2 and all that we have built around it.

Yup, I'm the project leader of Outpost 3: Genesis. I'm sure that if you are talented in those areas, and have proven yourself (just show us or me your work), I'm sure that you could find a way to help.
I'm more of the 3D person (I'm in charge of that and do a lot of it myself), so if you're interested in that, let me know :).
leeor_net is more of the coding person, so if that's what you're interested in, he's your guy.
If you don't know already, this is the webpage: Outpost 3: Genesis Homepage (http://genesis.outpostuniverse.net)
Anyway :)
Welcome to OPU!

Zhukant has reason, I have (almost) never see nobody to dispute, and the forum isn't very repressive!
I don't know if it's similar on the irc, I come never B)
-
siqueule i think you mean is right ;) but since i taklk french i understand what you mean it :P
-
in the irc stats, they said that sirbomber is agressive: I think the tension can go up sometime
-
lol siqueule thats just the program that genrates the stats saying that. we dont make the stats, a program auto does.
again, welcome infamous :)
-

Welcome to the OPU Community. Im sure youll find a lot of open ears here, so if you have any questions or concerns let us know! The quickest way to get an answer is to get on IRC, so go get it!
Also be aware that theres much more to Outpost Universe than hopping online and playing Outpost 2. There is an active mod community which is currently working on at least 3 projects seperate from Outpost 2 including a sequel. We are also very focused on adding new features to OP2 so make sure to keep an eye on the forums for new releases (check the version number when you start up OP2).
If youre at all interested in working on a project, let us know youd like to volunteer! Any commitment is acceptable even if all you can spare is an hour here or there. Making new tilesets and map testing is quite common and easy to get started with. If youd be interested in working on some coding, 3D models or textures Im sure stormy would be happy to let you help out the Outpost Genesis team.
We're always glad to see a new member join OPU and get active on the forums. Hope to see you around!
Dont forget, if you have questions please dont hesitate to ask us. IRC is always the quickest way to get an answer but sending a PM to a senior member will get you a reply sent directly to you inbox.
Welcome to the community!:)
