Equador Mountains

Ecuador Mountains by <<<ALIEN>>> is one of my favourite CTF maps. Very RMG feel to it with the classic 3 ways of attack. Centre, Left using a tunnel or right through the mountains. Highly recommended for CTF
Thanks to -[FC]- FUN ZONE for introducing me to this one.

This is the long awaited release of the ultimate SOF2 Demo Viewer by Infrequent. ReFrag soon became an essential tool for SOF2 movie makers and you will see it in the credits of all the best SOF2 videos.
ReFrag2 is the new improved version with even more features and a much improved user interface. ReFrag2 is not just a tool for movie makers though, it's also an excellent stand alone demo player that lets you analyse every players move from every angle.
Unfortunately ReFrag2 does not support v1.00 but if you play Sof2 Gold this a must have tool.

Playing SOF2 v1.00

Some time ago when re-installing SoF2 and before adding the gold patch to bring my 3 year old CD up to date, I noticed there were lots of servers still running version 1.00 I decided to do a duplicate SOF2 installation in a second folder on my PC, but running v1.00. I have to say its like another dimension with many hundreds of players never seen on the gold version. You can add v1.00 in about 4 minutes, why not give it a try:) There are more people playing RMG than on gold!!

Playing SOF2 v1.03

Some months after SoF2 was launched a number of modifications were made to the original game which included bug fixes, new weapons, Punkbuster anti cheat software and additional maps. This update, called the Gold Patch changed your original game to v1.03. It was intended to replace to 1.00 version but if you make a copy of your original v1.00 files before applying the patch you can still play both versions.

SOF2 problems
GENERAL PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED WHEN PLAYING SOF2 ONLINE
Problem with Windows 7 (SOF2)
Slug installed Windows 7 and after installing
SOF2 he was getting an error it said "SOF2 encountered a problem" and the game shut down. After checking that graphic drivers etc. were up to date the error was still there. However the problem was solved by DooGie .
DooGie
"I had the same problem Slug. If you are using an nVidia graphics card try the following. Open up the nvidia control panel and go to where it shows game profiles. Select the Soldier of Fortune profile and look for a line that says Extension limit. If it's set to Off change it to On. The problem is caused by the new open gl having more extensions than SOF2 can handle."

An update from DooGie :-

With the latest driver release, version 195.62 the extension limit is set already in the SOF2 profile. No tweaking needed, nVIDIA have also removed the extension limit setting in this release.

Thanks for the added info DooGie..... ;)

Black PBSS (players using Windows Vista)

Vista users : r_fullscreen "0"

Modify your sof2mp.cfg to contain > seta r_fullscreen "0" instead of "1".
This runs sof2 in a window, and pbss works.

Or open the console using the ` key and type \r_fullscreen "0" in the console,click the Enter key then type this \vid_restart hit Enter and close console.

OSP Problems (v1.03)
Many of the problems encountered in playing SOF2 online can fixed by installing the same version of OSP to your PC that is being used on the game server you want to play on. If you have the wrong OSP version you may see the error message....
"Server disconnected: Unpure client detected. invalid .PK3 files referenced!"

Current versions in use are listed below
.
 

OSP 0.3k Client Download
OSP 0.3d, 0.3e, 0.3i, 0.3k, 1.0f & 1.0h Download
Extract and copy all 6 files to your OSP folder
OSP 1.0L Client Download

If you have no versions of OSP installed (No OSP Folder in your SOFII intallation) then download OSP 0.3k and extract the zip file to your SOF2 Double Helix folder. It will create a folder named OSP. Next download OSP Versions 0.3d - 1.0h and extract the files to the OSP Folder.

RocMod
(v1.03)
In order to play on servers running
ROCmod you will need to download that as well.
Download ROCmod-2.1a and extract to your SOFII directory (not base folder)
Also in common use is ROCmod2.0c which you should extract to your RoCMod folder.

 

RoCMod 2.1a Download
RoCMod 2.1b Download
RoCMod 2.1c Download

Corrupt or Missing Files
There is a useful little utility called wiser2 that checks your SOF2 installation and reports if any files are missing or corrupt.
1. Download wiser2.exe (69kB)
2. Scan it for any virus (always good practice, but I found it 100% clean)
3. Run the program
4. Point to the location of your SOF2 folder on your PC
5. Wiser 2 will scan all the files in that folder and sub folders and report any missing or corrupt files. This works with all versions up to 1.03 (Gold)




Punkbuster Problems (v1.03)
Most SOFII v1.03 servers run Punkbuster anti-cheat software and you will need an up-to date client version of Punkbuster in order to play on these servers. Each copy of SOFII has a unique serial number that gives you the user an equally unique player ID or GUID. If the CD you are using does not have a unique key (CD is a copy) or your GUID is logged on a list of banned players you will be kicked from servers by Punkbuster. The Punkbuster files on your PC are designed to update themselves automatically.

HOWEVER......
Even Balance (Punkbuster) have announced a new tool to aid players and server admins.
It's called PunkBuster Setup and allows you to keep track of your current PB version for both client and server, and update all games on your computer at the touch of a button.


Features:
1. Ability to install/update PunkBuster software for multiple supported games
2. Ability to correct corrupted installations of the PunkBuster software
3. Self-updating executable; you may from time to time be notified of new versions of PBSetup itself. A download and update will happen automatically.


How to Install PBSetup:
1. Download PBSetup for your OS platform Windows (472KB)
2. Place the file in an appropriate directory:
3. Create a desktop shortcut to pbsetup.exe and then double click on the icon.




When you run the program for the first time it will ask you what games you wish to update and where they are located on your PC (Add a Game) You can then click on 'Check For Updates' and the system will download and install the very latest version of Punkbuster.

If you have any problems related to playing SOF2 v1.03 you can post on our Forum.
If you would like to add to the information on this webpage post your ideas on the Forum as well.


Other Problems (v1.03)
If you are sure you have the above the next step is to make sure your base folder has the correct files AND try removing any files that may be causing problems.
Your SOFII Base folder requires the following files to operate correctly.

mp
maps.pk3 100,572KB
models.pk3 94,372KB
mp.pk3 30,979KB
musicandsound.pk3 186,770KB
skins.pk3 71,525KB
textures0.pk3 403,511KB
textures1234.pk3 160,306KB
therest.pk3 67,836KB
update101.PK3 9,443KB
update102.pk3 18,116KB
update103.pk3 12,585KB

Depending on how many additional maps and modifications you have downloaded you may have many more files in your base folder.

If you are having problems running SOFII it may be worth removing additional files such as downloaded skins, weapons and textures modifications.

1. Rename your base folder OLDbase
2. Create a NEW folder within your SOFII folder and name it base
3. COPY each of the above pk3 files from your OLDbase folder and put them into your new base folder. Copy the mp folder from the OLDbase folder and paste it into your new base folder.

You now have a clean base folder but still have all the other files safe in the OLDbase folder should you need one of them later. Now go into SOFII and see if this has cured your problem.
 

DEFAULT_IDENTITY (mullinsjungle) failed to register

I'm looking for answers in relation to this error which I suspect is due to some corruption to the games installed files.
In relation to SOF2 v1.00 the following may help
Take a look at http://www.sofplayers.co.uk/sof2-v1.shtml and scroll down to the section "Files needed to play sof2 v1.00" There are some screenshots of the files you must have and their file sizes that may help. But if you have the original CD I would just re-install the game.

A less drastic thing you could try is to move all your copies of sof2mp.cfg ( there will be one in the BASE/MP Folder and copies in all the mod folders such as RPM, RPMPro, ADM ) out of those folders and save them say in my Documents. That way you have NO config settings and when you start the game a new default setting will be created just like when you first installed the game. This will solve the problem if it is related to changes you made to your config.

Keep a copy of your old sof2mp.cfg  if you have lots of binds then you can copy and paste them back into your new config file using MS NOTEPAD.

 
PROBLEMS RUNNING VENTRILO - Voice Communications Software
I can hear you but I don't think you can hear me
When you talk on Ventrilo you should  see the small loudspeaker symbol next to your name
go from red to green.

Not Talking Talking

If not - enter the Ventrilo setup screen by clicking on SETUP which is under the connect, comment and chat buttons.
NOTE - YOU CANNOT BE HEARD WHEN YOU ARE ON THE SETUP SCREEN

1. Make sure Microphone is connected properly
2. Make sure that the INPUT DEVICE dropdown box has your sound card selected
3. Make sure the 'Enable outgoing voice communications' box is ticked
4. Click the button called 'MONITOR' and talk into the microphone.

You should see a stream of numbers appear in the long white box. If not your microphone is not working for some reason. Check that MICROPHONE is selected in the dropdown box just above the slider controls. The numbers need to be generally over 25 if not you need to get closer to the microphone or increase the gain.

If you see the numbers appear as you talk click MONITOR again to turn of the test.
Your microphone works ok so try reducing the number in the box marked SENSITIVITY to 30

Go out of the setup screen and try again.

If you did not see a stream of numbers appear you may need to try a different microphone.

 

Use of the above files is at your own risk
