Remember it?
Hell..I still have the 1.04 rules printed up on hard copy *waves big stack of papers*
I still have the SFCC box for the PBEM program somewhere...uh...on my old PC I think...
Man...if we could just interface the D2 with that system(with Bonks SQL breakthroughs it may be possible)....it would ROCK...
He's got a remote web based ship yard working that interfaces with D2...an interface webmap...battle result tracking...and a few other things in the wings...
I know you think the D2 kinda made your system obsolete....but I personally feel that your system for the general war would make a GREAT template for a true SQL based D2 server....
Firesoul poured much of his time into continued expansions of the OP shiplist...SFB ships translated into the SFC environment....all kinds of varients.....we use OP+ 4.0 as a baseline now....and the list is now well over 4000 ships....Tugs....carriers....more X varients...even some pre-x varients...
Tracy G and Karnak have even got a few Andro features to work via scripting methods....
Dennis...it's great to see you.....well...your text... ;)
I sincerly hope you find the time once and a while to visit us and maybe provide some input to our efforts.....the D2 is STILL evolving...even to this day...

Heya Krim,
I have the rules too (up to 2.0 I think, which included economics and a whole slew of other "neatness", and I found the "Boxed" set just a couple of months ago, and I think I still have my "Design" set as well on an old HD I just recovered recently. (However I still haven't found but bits and pieces of HF and then only up to like issue 8, but not a complete issue beyond 5 or 6).
I never thought D2 made my system obsolete, I didn't think my system was appropriate for MANY players unless they were good friends. LOL All that bickering is what killed the game, if it didn't have an automated system where people didn't try to "Bend" the rules (he he), it would have been great! I've used the system I created for private games and it worked wonderful. Especially great for preventing family, pets and other "natural" (he he) disasters from ruining the setup and tracking.
Yeah it would be truly wonderful for it to be setup as a true online experience, or at least with a hosting setup/system.
I got the bug recently and reinstalled EAW, but for some reason my 20 CD Key no longer works? Bummed me out, I got OP reinstalled though and I'm using that, but it's a lot buggier then I remember. LOL I was hoping to get EAW working again, but I guess that's not possible any longer with Interplay/Taldren out of business. No one to talk to about getting a replacement key. Though it still seems odd that my old key no longer works. :/
Ah...the old days. lol
Salute!

Uh..dennis...we CAN fix your key problem...there is a request thread for that very purpose...
I hate to ask this question..but did you get the last OP patch?.....
Pestelence put out a GREAT OP enhancment package that has everything you need and even a couple DLL fixes...
BTW..with the smaller players base....a D2 server based on your system would probably be a big hit...
Well...I'm off to bed..need to work in the AM....
GN bud....good to see you round...
Be well...
Edit...just saw your other post and see you updated OP...
I'd still suggest the enhancment pakage though...it has a couple extra fixes not in the last patch...
oh yeah...and make sure you DirectX is up to 9.0c....
SFCShadow:
Ummm...I think I got OP patched to 2.5.5.2 or something like that. I don't have any of the patches outside of Taldren or from Mag or anything. Or was 2.5.5.2 Mags work?
Thanks for the tip on the key, PMing an Admin now.
