Hey there! First of all, I'd like to say I'm finally back after being inactive for a couple of years, and it's nice to see everyone still hanging around. Really missed ya'll! 

Onto the point. I've been watching our servers' activity and it's needless to say they're pretty empty throughout the day (not including hardcore tdm). Of course, the game itself is very old and the player base isn't nearly as big as it was in its prime days, but that doesn't mean we can't get at least a few players to join our servers.

I believe that our mods aren't as attractive as they once were, and some of them are even unplayable without a larger amount of players (examples being CTF and Freeze tag). Because of that, I suggest we spice our servers up a bit by changing current gamemodes to new ones. For example, I'd love to see the Hide n Seek (HnS) mod back in action, the zom_db mod, or even the gun game mod. HnS mod currently isn't played on any of the active servers, and I believe there'd be some players interested in it. Gun game is very popular and I believe we'd succeed in running it, especially if we additionally edit it in 'IceOps style' (hardcore tdm is a good example).

I'm proposing to try and get our servers more active, and I believe this would be a good way to start since the current servers are just sitting empty. I already got the green light for this to happen, now I just need a good amount of players agreeing to this so we can actually implement this, so please leave a comment or like my post so I know you're standing by my suggestion! Thanks for reading through this.

TL;DR: Change the current empty servers' gamemodes to other ones such as Hide 'n' Seek, zom_db, gun game, etc. to try and get some players online.

Never mind. Watch Narcos I guess.

Now that's just rude, you found a way around and want us to participate without even giving us thy knowledge! 

Love it, good job! I hope to see the FFA server a bit more active now too.

Glad to see this happening, was about time for some major update. Lets hope for the best now  

Yay, more maps!

Saddens me to see the guy I admire the most leave, I always looked up to you when it comes to cod4 and I loved to see your work. It's unfortunate to see you leave, but partially was expected as we talked about it. I hope you'll visit IceOps from time to time though!

Best of wishes to you and the life ahead of you, you're awesome.

You have a point, I agree with you.

yep thats what i was talking about so for that reason i think it cant be fixed unless you allow to many predators at the same time but that will be bad

 

 

 

That's the worst possible way to deal with the bug. If there is really no solution to delete the rocket element then you can simply make a timer to destroy it.

Update-

 

So I've gotten my new HDD, but sadly when I tried to clone it with Clonezilla I got a bad sector error. So now I'm just going to be doing it normally by copying and pasting files to the new drive.

At least you tried Which HDD did you buy at the end?

As for legal problems. NNJ has no right to his mod as all mods made on a call of duty platform are owned by the Activision. On the other hand he does not need to give the files to anyone and I highly doubt @RevaX that someone new to QueryC can fix something that NNJ can't (No offence). As for ninja's recommendation on using a different mod is far fetched. No one is willing to work on a 10 year old game. Try to deal with the bug. Maybe NNJ will have a look at it if he gets some time.

I guess you do have a valid point *sadface*

I this bug that big of a problem anyway? 

I'd be more than glad to try and fix the problem myself (of course I cannot guarantee it'll be fixed), as I recently got into QueryC (cod4) programming and it'd be a nice challenge to overcome. @Ninja if you can, send me the file the glitch is in (or even that certain part of code).

i dont remember who i mp but he said this bug cant be fixed because people try to kill enemy on predator and if he die the missal will stuck in the air that will lead for predator not available since only 1 missal must be in air for this reason you must wait till other players to do thier predator   

It can be fixed. 

@Mc.Joker might be of help.

Good luck, hope you sort your school problems out! See you around

yes i get a stable 60fps now without it

That's still low, but who am I to judge if you can play with it?

Just now, Ninja said:

Issue is just to unban him. He is in the old system. Not the new one.

 

How does that work?  

Just now, Rami said:

lies you cant access it with this command in obs 

 

its shown when you join the server 

You could access it in the old version. And it wasn't shown before on the screen from what I remember.

@Mc.Joker @Wolfman this is just a jump, I don't see the big issue about it to be called as a glitch?

dropping FPS every 10-15 seconds from a almost-locked 125 FPS to 90-100 FPS

Thank you for your help, I'll try everything mentioned above as soon as possible!

Hi, I'll write up a quick story in compositions so you're fully met with everything, if you just want a TL;DR version, read the highlighted parts.

Intro

I was in IceOps back in 2012, playing cod4 every day without any problems, smoothly and nicely. Since this was nearly 5 years ago I'm not sure what happened or what could have I done to cause this problem, but if I remember correctly the issue appeared out of nowhere. It started out slowly, dropping FPS every 10-15 seconds from a almost-locked 125 FPS to 90-100 FPS, and it didn't seem much of a problem. Although, after playing the game for half an hour, the FPS drops were dropping quicker and quicker, every 5-8 seconds to unplayable 60-70 FPS, and that's just not something you want while being the Obscurity. I did my best to fix it, tried cleaning my PC, reinstalling cod4, basically anything I could come up with. Eventually, I've quit. It was pointless to play the unplayable, hence I left IceOps as well.

Real deal

Few months ago I came back to IceOps, as after getting Windows 10 and a new SSD that replaced my hard drive I was most certain the issue was gone. As thought so, it turned out to be true. The FPS in game was pretty stable, no FPS drops on sight, everything perfect (except I got the pirate version that has it's own customized .iwd files....). However, after these ~5 months of playing the issue came back. Again, out of nowhere, no reason for it to be happening. It started happening on Obscurity server, same as before, first the FPS drops are small and go every 10-15 seconds, and after a while it goes faster and FPS drops lower. It is not only on Obscurity server it's happening though, it also happens on Hide and Seek, and freeze tag. I'm not sure if it's on every server (will check today/tomorrow) but it is really big of an issue as I cannot play.

That is pretty much it, and I'd really appreciate any help you can offer. If you have any questions or interests please leave a reply and I'll answer in no time.

I find it quite amusing how you named the thread "This community needs no butthurt people..GL with that!" although obviously you're the only one here being "butthurt" about the ban you received for your inappropriate and immature acts. You got banned for more than a proper reason, it is your fault and your fault only, and you'll either have to accept that and deal with it or leave, no need for raging and being a crybaby over it through forums. Get your act together and grow up, fix your attitude and then we'll talk.

Lets chill down with the server mods, aye?

noice.

We have one but not populated and it's stock codjumper. I'm always playing on VC codjumper server. Good maps and actually players on the server. Makes it more fun imo. 

Can I get an IP, please? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I have 4 WD storage devices, 2 HDD and 2 externals. Only the 1 external is under caution, might be because it's old and is 1tb. The more storage space the faster they fail. Maybe when I win the lottery I'll get a bunch of SSD's and put them in a external storage housing and use a raid xP

 

But I'm planning on getting the WD red as it has vibration protection- which is what I need because I have 2 WD greens(which they say only to have 1) in the hard drive cage.

And then there's me being happy as I got myself a 150GB SSD...
