This test server has no updates installed at the moment, so you can join it carsten. So, did the original VX server have updates or not lol, I cant remember to be honest. Either way we need to decide if the server runs with or without updates, and what the advantages and disadvantages are to both options. I dont care either way as im not going to be playing, I would always go with the updated version to fix issues and add new features, as Hardmaps download section never carried the updates for VX maybe the original server did not run with any updates installed. | ||

| Captain Slow Registered Member #3 Joined: Fri Dec 19 2003Location: Scotland Posts: 4651 | Hi Cavebear welcome to Hardmaps, yup still running you guys mod after all these years lol. We had a popular VX server which ran for years, the machine it was running on died so im having to rebuild it from scratch on a different machine with backups I took. However it seems some of our original VX players never had the update installed, so the server must not have run with any updates, but I have recently put both updates onto our download section. Ages ago you guys kindly removed the colour codes from the map names so the stats system would recognise the maps and upload the stats, I have these backed up and ready to put onto the server, when I get a chance that is, work is nuts just now, must have done something bad in a pervious life lol. Do you have the change list of both updates? Im just wondering why the original server was never updated? unless I just never got round to it! Or no one wanted the update put on the server for some reason? I havent got a chance to remember that far back, I have a problem remembering what happened last week! So not sure why we didnt run the server with the updates installed. Might be worth looking back in the forum....... | ||

| CaveBear-HB- Registered Member #2912 Joined: Tue Apr 30 2013Location: Germany Posts: 6 | I don't know if there's a change list still around or if one was ever made, but will take a look into the VX folders. Not long ago i was about to delete the whole VX thing from my PC. Glad i didn't! Well, the people didn't like the critters in the BFM mod so they didn't want to update. But as far as i know there's no critters in VX. So damn long ago when i played this last time. I don't even remember the loading screen. It's like you said: You're lucky if you remember what happened last week! | ||

| Captain Slow Registered Member #3 Joined: Fri Dec 19 2003Location: Scotland Posts: 4651 | The reason for wondering about the change list is what would both updates do to the original VX? (without me having to go and install it and see for myself lol) As at this point it is easy to run the server with or without the updates. Like I say it is so long ago, im not sure why we didnt, mabe a problem with stats uploader. Anyway, maps added, no updates at the moment, lets see how it goes! | ||

| CaveBear-HB- Registered Member #2912 Joined: Tue Apr 30 2013Location: Germany Posts: 6 | Alright. I checked the updates and as far as I can see they contain the following stuff: Lots of new avatars from many countries to chose from Fixes for the mission editor (Item pictures) Improved HUD displays Adding missing textures and items Lots of sounds that were used in the maps and/or by the weapons Added or fixed weapons: Flamethrower-Tank, Nuke Bomb, 357 Magnum How many changes have been made in detail is unknown. It would be a HUGE amount of work to find out what has been changed in the definition files. But i'm sure nothing unrealistic has been implemented, because SoFuRo spent so many hours in research for the exact weapon dynamics that he would have never done some 'Bullshit' to any of the weapons or physics as far as the game allows it. In fact, the whole purpose of the VX was to fix all the NOVALOGIC flaws and to have a perfect weapon performance. | ||
