Im a little slow at updating the pages... It was more of a response to ripper...

Besides, one of the links (main window), at http://op.virtualave.net/1.html (http://op.virtualave.net/1.html) doesnt link correcly...

The link on the side menu does not work, but the link in the main body of the news/home page does.

A month or so ago, I went through the same panic you did. Thankfully, I checked out the situation and noticed that the NHCS is still complete.

I cant get to it from school.  (BESS Filtering blocks it.)  But I will try to salvage all of the files I can, ZIP them, and distribute them so we Can post them on XFir's OP2 Site (Hint Hint).  We should try to salvage everything we can.

It shouldnt be too hard. Just take screenshots of everything. Files are useles because there are no files left to download from the site.
Title: The end... Or a new beginning ?
Post by: alice on November 04, 2003, 07:12:05 AM
if you can still view the site, then there are files.  just write (or download) a web page capturer.  tell it to take the WHOLE page, but don't follow outside links. I'm gonna try when I get on Unfiltered internet.

Post by: OP2Patriot on November 04, 2003, 09:05:15 AM
Screenshots, that would take up a good bit of storage space. I was talking to xfir last night about the NHCS Forum. If he gets permission from KevinAr18, he could make the NHCS a forum in this very forum. It would be a view only forum and would be just another forum in OUF.

I could ask Kevin if I could have the DB file(s) it uses, and make something of those.

Post by: Zircon on February 07, 2004, 05:41:42 AM

Post by: alice on February 09, 2004, 06:59:09 AM
No, it was the one from the new haven command site.  I downloaded it a while back, but I never learned how to use it.  (I now use hackers. :) )
Title: The end... Or a new beginning ?
Post by: plymoth45 on February 09, 2004, 09:20:44 AM

And Change the Building Properties.

Building properties .... could you define that?
But firepower and hitpoints can be edited with a trainer. I don't think I ever got around to finding all the weapon damage codes, but I can make Thor's Hammer and Laser very deadly.

Building Properties... As in the damage it can take before it's demolished,
And loading and unloading time.
