Source: Front Line Force 2
The Dev team decided (couple months ago) to "Clean up" and get a fresh new start on things for the new year. As most would expect, "Source" and what it offers is of extreme interest to the team and community. THEREFORE, This "Pre-Release or Final release" of FLF 2.0 is intended to show you what was there (prior to source) and if you want to play it, GREAT! Omega set a deadline for Dec.24 and it was met. If you dont care for it, well 1.8b is still just as it was. But this is the end of the road for FLF development on the HL 1 engine. We are clearing off our desks to start anew. 2.0 will get a patch to keep server from crashing, and fix whatever bugs can be fixed to have a playble game. Come Jan 1, we are focusing on the future, which is NOT flf 2.0 yet keeps the Frontline name, with a "hemi" under the hood. No release dates are expressed or implied! ;))
So RELAX... and as always, tactful suggestions are read by all.

Title: Front Line Force 2.0

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays from all involved, have this gift!

Welp, it's finally here. Not totally in the state i had originally intended, but it's here.

ATTENTION ATI USERS: You'll need to create a userconfig.cfg (or edit config.cfg) and change fx_newtextures to 0, this will be addressed after christmas.

One major issue is linux: i've included the linux binary with the windows install, but I cannot garuntee it will work for everyone (or even many, at all) I don't have time to work on it anymore either (was having major problems with it for over a week and just today i managed to get it to run on my own test box.)
So, there is no linux-server download. I won't be able to even look at it again till new years either, so windows servers and listen servers will HAVE to do for now.(depending on whoever can get it to run of course.

Major changes
  • new player models

  • all new weapon code

  • new sound code and ogg vorbis sounds

  • mod requires opengl to run, if you're not in opengl it will error and give you a message box saying gtfo and switch to opengl.

  • included maps are: flf_dusk, flf_sorrow, flf_shroud, flf_siberiankiss, flf_bridge2, flf_fallujah, flf_biohazard, flf_toledo2, flf_risu, flf_kezman, flf_village, flf_afghan, flf_dcity, flf_village, flf_lombardi, and if i'm missing any in this list, you'll find em.

  • new weapons: ak105, p90, ksp58, smoke, tears, dpms kitty kat


Bugs
  • voice comm MAY not work, it should, but sunspot and i were having problems with it; and we aren't sure if it was his server or not. (i have no mic so i couldn't really test properly)

  • linux, obviously, the linux server may do one of the following: not run, run and crash randomly, run and crash all the time, run away far far away and shout out "look at how wonderufl linux is!!!"
