Oh, there are still people around, or else the site would be down.

Check the main page for the OP2 download and other stuff (you'll need it to play multi player, as even one difference between versions can cause crashes or incompatibilities when attempting to create a game) and an IRC client to help setup games.

Heh, no, it was disabled ages ago since it caused a lot of grief with multiplayer games. If you want to play with the cheats, use an older install just for single player.

gotcha is there  a way to transfer the additional colony missions and the screen size from the downloaded OP2 to the original that requires a disk??

I think the differences are mostly in the exe file. If you just copied everything else over most things would probably work. There's a few exe extensions that you'd lose by using an old copy, but the levels should still work. (The old exe will have no /loadmod for instance).

I thought I remember somebody saying that any missions we created wouldn't work with a CD version of OP2? I'm probably wrong, though...

Anyways, hello there.

I think they should still work. You might want to patch your game with the 3 official scenario packs though before you try to copy the extra missions (and some of them do use "unofficial" memory hacks and what not to do "extra" things in the game... which certainly will not work / cause crashes on the stock CD version of the game exe).

You should tell us of the hours you're on then... include timezone, as it's important.

Some of us just join IRC later, knowing there ain't anyone around at certain hours anyhow.

And if they're people you may find talking in the coding channel on IRC about game functions and related stuff, they're almost certainly not interested in playing.

That should be around 5 PM to 8 AM UCT.

Well, then... you should find at least some people usually from around 1 PM EST on IRC.
