Quote Slug "I know I've been playing this game for years but didn't think it
was this long "
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
is a
must have tool.

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.

No SOF2 Server list in Game Browser
A lot of people are having problems with No Server List
in the SOF2 in game browser, this is due to some problem
with the Master Server......
There are several ways of connecting to servers..........
1. If you know the IP address of a
server you can type in the game console \connect
???.???.???.???:????? (? the numbers of the address) and hit
return.
2. If you already had added servers to your Favorites you
can connect using that.
3. Use a program that finds game servers such as:
HLSW
http://www.hlsw.org/
Qtracker
http://www.qtracker.com/
Hope this helps .........
Setting the correct Network Settings and
reduce LAG
Many people join servers with the default
network settings for SOF2,this causes problems for players
as when the game was made the majority of people connected
to the internet using 56k modems. The problem that is
experienced is LAG this means that the game does not
run smoothly and players as a result don't get the best out
of the game.
There are 2 ways to
correct this problem........
The first way is to use the game set up option:-
When in the game Press the
Esc key, then along the top of the screen select
Options, on this page the last icon on the right is
the
Network settings. When you have selected the Network
Settings at the top of the list is
Rate. Once you
click Rate you cycle through the different connection
types... You need to show your connection type and then once
it appears on the screen press the
Esc key again
to return to the game.
The second way to set your
RATE in the
game is to Press the
Console key
(the console key is `
) This is to the
left << of 1
on my keyboard. Once the console is open type in
\rate 15000
then close the console by pressing the
Console key
again.

GENERAL PROBLEMS
ENCOUNTERED WHEN PLAYING SOF2 ONLINE
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.
Problems with
OSP
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.
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 Version 1.03
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.
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.
Other problems with 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

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)

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.

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.
