Registration gave me a real problem here unfortunately, hence why I have such a stupid username.
I usually go by Duke but I understand if it's taken. I've tried -Duke- which the registration process won't allow for - which kinda sux but I understand if your stuck with it.
I did however try other usernames such as alterego, d00k, sirapnek, dOOk, Dwoing and futsbuzle to no avail as they are all taken. All in all, I think I tried close to 15 or more nix before I got stuck with n00bem lol.
Anyway, if all the above are taken then I'll need some help removing my foot from my mouth.
Ken.
-
Whilst Duke is indeed taken, alterego is not.
There is an alterego45, but not an alterego.
All the other names you mentioned are also free.
Planck
-
That's what I thought.
I wonder why the site kept on telling me they were already taken?
-
You're probably right, there's something fishy going on, I just can't put my finger on it.
I tried registering alterego, but at first try I got "already exists, try again". I then did a few tests regarding numeric characters in username and/or in displayname, but they all went as they should. After that retried registering alterego and it went fine too.
There might be some complications because the memberbase is imported from YaBB SE forum and if I remember correctly it didn't have Name and Username fields separate.. or something like that. This may cause problems. I'll look into it more, but for the time being I'm not ready to tell the 14 thousand or so members, who've registered to YaBB SE, to register again to our new forum. :)

What is up with this |nbsp; bug? Every time you edit a post it replaces spaces at the beginning of a line with this illegitimate personisation of a nonbreaking space...
� like this....
-
Hey
I'm not sure if it's just me but is some of the symbols on the site loading as funny symbols?
For example, Mr.Peanut's last post has this as the last line : � like this....
The Pound Sterling sign also appears weird as well.

I've tested this in Firefox 2.0.0.3 and IE 7 and both give me the same results. I'm not sure if it's Vista Home Premium here on my laptop. I can't remember if my computer has this problem, which is XP Home though. My PC has the exact problem aswell as my laptop.
I've seen similar bugs with my own websites, ended up being the MYSQL language that the data was stored in. I doubt that has anything to do with it though.
Cheers

Bump ???
My sig has the bug to.
-
there has indeed been a change in character encoding from iso to utf. this happened before the most recent move. thus some posts will sport odd characters. the newest content should all be fine. not something to worry about.
your sig has been fixed. any other sigs/personal texts that have odd characters in them, just edit them out manually.
-
The show new replies to your posts link in the upper left does not work for me. It takes me to that section but shows that there havent been any new replies, even if there have been.

Just found out I have a Personal Messaging problem.
Can't seem to send any PM or preview one I am writing :confused:
Tried to send one, checked the option of saving one in sent box, nothing there and page didn't even change...same happens if I don't check that option.
I am using Firefox 2.0.0.4 & Comodo Firewall Pro 2.4.18.184.
Even with the firewall off it doesn't work.
PS: If it did work and it's just some problem in my browser... sorry bedges and macguba for the flood :P
EDIT: PM problem solved. Firewall configuration problem ;)
-
The main page is looks strange.
-
there was a small adjustment to the frontpage layout this morning (adding a right-hand column) which should display fine now in both IEx and MFx.
-
But this problem is still exists in my MF.
-
you'll probably have to either clear the cache, or simply hold [ctrl]+[shift] and refresh.
-
WOW! :)
It's working...
-
I got this note the other day:
Also, I noticed I recieved an email from OFPEC notifying I got a PM, however that email is like 2 days late I think
Is it supposed to be like that? Or maybe you guys have an issue with your email server?
-
This is really urgent. I've already emailed planck about this, but idk if he got the email. I've been a fan of OFP and OFPEC was the website that originally got me into scripting. I'm also going for my network security bachelors degree, so its common for me to check to see if buddies' webpages are vulnerable to hackers. This one is, and I know you guys have been hacked once before and I wanted to warn you before the bad guys find this vulnerability. I won't discuss the details here, of course, because someone with bad intentions could find the vulnerability easily...but please email me at sniperkyle@gmail.com whenever you get the chance. Also, my AIM name is xboxh4xer and I'm on MSN messenger as sniperkyle@gmail.com.
Hope I didn't worry you too much and that we can overcome this problem quickly,
Sniper_Kyle :good:
-
Try sending me a pm.
-
2 Problems....who is the "head administrator" of this website, a.k.a. who should I send the PM to? Also last time I tried sending a PM (a few minutes ago), I hit send, and it just reloaded the same page I was on, without sending anything. :dunno:
-
Thanks for your email Kyle, we have the details you sent and will look into it ASAP.
Once again thanks for the notification. :good: :cool2:

I can't get this to download. Other resources download ok.

I've attempted sending PMs, but have not been succesful in doing so. I press the send button and it just sends me to the top of the page and no message is sent. ???

Lo there,
Empty zip download for this resource (http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action=details&id=479&game=ArmA&type=sc&cat=gc).
-
Works for me... in FF
-
WinRar says the "archive is either in unknown format or damaged".
Downloaded it several times with Ie 6.
WinXP's own zip plugin shows the archive content as blank... which is just what it is. 0 bytes.
-
Just this minute downloaded it and unzipped with winrar without any problems.
Planck

It downloads properly using FireFox, but not with IE.
-
fixed - i think - please confirm.
-
Works for me in IE.
-
Ditto. :yes:
-
HI all. I am not able to stay logged in anymore. Has something changed or???????
-
could you describe the problem a wee bit more fully. do you mean when you close the browser you are no longer logged in, or do you mean when you click on links within the site you are no longer logged in or ??? ???
-
Well I just reinstalled XP. I have been constantly having to log in when visiting the main page. Now it seems as though I am staying logged in if I use a direct link to the forums though.
IE6 BTW.
-
hmmm... i've had a look at the login code and it all seems fine. only thing i can think would cause this is the cookie. clear your cache etc.
by default the login sets the session length to 'forever', so you're logged in until you log out. if anyone else has this issue please post here with details.
-
FWIW Bedges, I stay logged in when I direct connect to the forums main page. But if I connect to the main/home page of the site I am not logged in. It's no big deal at all. Just wanted to let you know. The site seems a lot faster loading now, but posting on the forums is still really slow for me. Again not a complaint, just an observation.

Registered tag not added to profile
I've registered the tag ION, but it looks like it's not added to profile.
If I'm trying to add a public key to the tag I will get this answer:
You don't currently have a registered tag.
But as information for the tag I had registered it:
Registered by: i0n0s
Any ideas?
-
there are 141 tags (http://www.ofpec.com/tags/index.php?action=show_nonames) which were registered with incomplete information - this is not the fault of the members, rather an oversight in the coding of one or more versions of the tag system.
the details for the ION tag have been updated so you should now be able to administer your tag details and upload a key.
if any other members cannot properly administer their tag details, just send a PM to me and i'll get it sorted. we're especially keen to hear from any of the other 141 tag owners in the list above.
-
Thanks.
-
Experts For Hire doesn't work for me, as when I try to add my name the following php page appear as blank.
Don't know if it is a local problem or not, will try again with a different setting. Just to let you know :scratch:
-
that should be it fixed. let us know if you have any further problems with the interface. :good:
-
WOW you're fast!
It works now. :good:
-
To the rss-feed:
The news from today contains this url: http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action=details&id= which leeds to nothing.
Also "DynamicLbyL by Surdus Priest" is already in RSS-Feed, but not in your news. Instead "ArmA Review - The Recluse" is the first news on your page, which was tested on the 8.5. Seems that a bug found your news system :(
But don't ever think of cancelling the rss-feed ;)
-
Hey i0n0s,
good to see that you like the rss feed :good:
about the link, it is indeed a bug with the system. Will look into it to find the bug and fix it.
What news are you referring to, news items posted on the frontpage?
-
I'm referring to the news on the frontpage: "ArmA Review - The Recluse".
-
Fixed RSS Editors Depot feed, with missing IDs.
About the DynamicLbyL not being in the frontpage news, its more of a policy that most decent missions get posted on the frontpage whereas only a small amount of ED resources are published as real news items.
For those with interest in them, there is a RSS feed and the 10 last submitted resources list.
-
Something you have changed recently on the site causes IE7 under WinXP(Home and Pro) to hang when loading the home page. This happens on my machines at work and home and whether I am logged on or not. I can, however, connect to www.ofpec.com/forum and login. If I then try to go to the home page IE7 will also hang.
It seems to be getting stuck loading the PayPal button. You might want to check whether you need browser dependant code for that button.
-
Hmmmm....strange, I'm using IE 7 here with WinXp and it all works fine.
Maybe its a cookie problem?
Planck
-
Works for me too in IE, perhaps your blocking the paypal domain or something?
-
Hmm. Now it loads fine at work. :dunno: I'll check again when I get home.
edit: Works fine at home too. :dunno: Weird... :whistle:
-
I'm not able to comment on the ArmA Range of Death Campaign. After submitting I get a white page Firefox 3.

Finaly I was able to write my important comment and screwed it up by using unsupported board tags. :-[ Anyways thanks for fixing.
-
I removed the link in the post because each time I clicked on it, I created an empty comment.
-
I'm having some trouble accessing the COMREF since last night.... about 12 hours ago.
I can get to the main "a" page fine, but when I click on any of the letters, I just get a blank page.
Of course, I can't go long without a COMREF surf! :D
-
Our elite special forces looked into it and fixed it. :good:
Thanks for the heads up
-
:good:
Whew!
I can now go back to mainlining COMREF! :D
-
hehe
After going cold turkey for awhile, I'm back to mainlining. :D
I really like the new COMREF style. BUT... one thing I miss is the ability to scroll through commands. Particularly in situations where there are multiple uses for a single command/expression, for example "count." The ability to scroll is good. Maybe for commands with multiple uses, have them all in one link?
Likewise, where there are a bunch of related commands, like with triggers, to scroll through them was pretty handy.
And, to reveal my inner OFPEC geekdom, sometimes I enjoyed just scrolling through all the commands to see if there was something I'd missed, or that might be useful that I'd never thought of. (Found "max" and "min" that way.) :D
Anyway, not really bugs, I guess, just more suggestions. Like the new arrangement though - I can only imagine how much work went into it. :clap:
-
Bugreport COMREF
abs is not listed under type->mathematics
-
Thanks Trapper, it did actually have mathematics listed as type along with another type.
It seems that if a command has more than one type listed it will not be included in either type.
Apparently there must only be the one type listed for it to work........listed now in mathematics.
Planck
-
Fixed. It was a (lack of) wildcarding issue. The type lists will now display everything properly. Thanks for the heads-up Trapper :good:
-
I visit OFPEC forums daily, most of the times once a day. Recently it has becoming more and more possible that even if there clearly are new posts in many topics shown by the open laptop icon, the "New Posts" button will not return any topics for me. For example this happened to me today, there were 5 forum sub sections with new posts.
New posts button then offers me chance to see all "unread posts" by clicking the link, THIS link then works as new posts button should have been in the first place.
Bizarre and very annoying.
-
I'm not sure I understand completely. The 'New Posts' tab (top right next to 'Your Threads') is a record of all posts made since your last visit. It could be that there are still unread posts from an earlier time, indicated by the laptop icon.
For example, I just clicked on the Arma2 - Editing/Scripting General laptop which indicated new posts, but there was nothing in the list. It said "No unread topics found since your last visit. Click here to try all unread topics" which links to a list of new posts from before my last visit.
-
But every time I check new posts, I read the topics that interest me and then click the big "MARK ALL MESSAGES AS READ" so I have no new posts, no unread topics in the forum.
Dunno whats wrong.
-
gday :)
what is the reason the board does not support 7z (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7z)? :scratch: :dunno:
-
Basically because we've kept to the zip/rar standards. Most stuff posted to the boards is under 1meg and limited I think to 10 megs.
-
Well 7z is pretty much standard for any site and download page nowadays. :scratch:
-
This is the reason why so many people ask what the heck they need to do with a 7z file I suppose.
Most know what to do with rar or zip, but for many 7z is a mystery.

gday :)
I am curious if I am the only one with this problem with the OFPEC forum.
i0n0s does not have it from our talk.
The problem is every time I visit the forum, regardless what I do, all threads are marked 'seen' once I leave.
This means hitting "new posts" will show more no more of these items the next time I return - only new posts
after the visit will be.
In contrast every other forum I know, also SMF type, work different.
Here the logic is: "show me all threads with new posts that I have not yet looked at".
So lets say new posts brings up 10, I read one, close and reopen, it shows me still the other 9.
While the OFPEC forum here will no longer show many any of these.
Hope this is understandable.
Anyway this is extremely frustrating and makes the OFPEC forum very hard to use.
At the same time any news on RSS feeds per subforum or adding sensible headers to filter specific
subforums yourself?
PS: SMF 2.0 is RC2 for a while.
-
I do not have that kind of problem, kju.
-
all threads are marked 'seen' once I leave
Actually, they aren't.
The 'new posts' button at the top right of the forum provides (as mentioned further up this thread) a list of all new posts made since your last visit. It doesn't say 'all unread posts'. If you visit one of these 10 threads and then go back to the list, there will be 9 left. If you leave the site then come back later, those 9 threads will not be displayed. This is the way it's meant to work, and not a bug.
However, if you want a list of all unread posts regardless of your last visit, use this link (http://www.ofpec.com/forum/index.php?action=unread;all). If there's enough of a demand for this function, we'll add it to the buttons.
To answer your other questions: there are currently no plans to introduce RSS feeds for sub-forums; I'm not sure what you mean by filtering sub-forums; we're well aware of the development of Simple Machines Forum software and don't require reminders, thanks anyways. :good:
-
Thanks bedges :good:
Exactly what I was looking for.
What I find strange that some people (claim) to have the different
behavior by default (unread;all). Is this a configuration in the profile ???
In terms of RSS. I am not interested in OFP nor missions threads.
Only scripting, configs, overall modding and general topics.
Right now I can only follow the complete forum via RSS, right?
As the rss items do not contain the sub-forum in some way,
I can neither filter them myself.
In a more general perspective as I left the BIF once and for all
and do plan to follow the OFPEC regularly again, it is very frustrating
not to find the comfort I am used to from other forums / places.
To summarize the two main points: least time spent do accomplish
it and only follow what I am interested in.
Cheers.
PS: My SMF2 forum has 'Show unread posts since last visit.' and
'Show new replies to your posts.' as button from the default settings.

Bug report.
I was contacted by member Lone-Wolf with a PM. When I tried to reply the automatically added recipient Lone-Wolf couldn't be found. My own member search only returned user name Lone Wolf so i used that one. I hope he is the right guy. :)

Hi
I wanted to post a comment to: http://www.ofpec.com/intel_depot/index.php?action=read_on&id=394
Indeed, I did so. Twice. Because after I post a comment it gives me some error message that something can't be found... well I didn't try to find anything so the message was very confusing and I thought my message didn't get posted so I did it again. Then later I noticed the first message had gone through.
Now I did a "Test." message and this is what it gives after I have clicked 'Save comment':

I could swear that this briefing tutorial from snYpir (http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action=details&id=24&game=ArmA) contained an actual tutorial with detailed descriptions of how to create sub-sections, how to put pictures in briefing, etc. The download description seems to support my memory.
However, the zip package contains only two briefing.html files and nothing else. Is part of the file missing? ???
-
Regarding snYpir's Briefings Tutorial, I think I have what is missing ...
Edit: Removed attachment - use link in post immediately above
-
Yes, that's it, except I don't think it was in .doc format. It was in .txt, I think, so that when you double-clicked on it, the tutorial text showed instead of the briefing example.
EDIT: Here, I've gone ahead and converted it to .txt . There were some strange special characters that seem to have been lost somewhere and replaced with square symbols. I edited them out or replaced them with quotation marks. I think I've preserved his original meaning. :P
So yeah, I really think that the tutorial file available for download should be edited to include this, because it was with the original package.

OFPEC relatively recently suffered a crash and a lot of files have been lost, VIPER[CWW].
Following resources have been lost. (http://www.ofpec.com/intel_depot/index.php?action=read_on&id=460) The ones crossed over have been recovered and are available for download.
If you happen to have any of the resources post them here. (http://www.ofpec.com/forum/index.php?topic=34346.0) Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Not nearly all resources have been lost though. Though the crash did hit the Editors Depot pretty hard, most of the OFPEC's resources are still here.
-
was it a five months ago? cos thats when i first experianced it, yes its mostly in the editors depot but also all of the custom faces have broken download links, what i do tho is save picture, they were the ones i found to be broken five months ago, the custom face template (for making your own) is broken too, i cant give a full list as i have no time, but you should be able to narrow them down with what ive said

The 'Select Game' drop-down in the Addons Depot doesn't appear to be working; the Editors' Depot is fine, though.
For instance, from the Tutorials section (http://www.ofpec.com/addons_depot/index.php?action=list&cat=tu&type=xyz) the page doesn't update when another game is chosen, making OFP and ArmAII inaccessible.
Until it's fixed, it's possible to get round this by adding "&game=OFP" or "&game=Arma2" (without quotation marks) to the URL, eg.
http://www.ofpec.com/addons_depot/index.php?action=list&cat=tu&type=xyz&game=OFP (http://www.ofpec.com/addons_depot/index.php?action=list&cat=tu&type=xyz&game=OFP)

I hope I don't sound like a crazy person but it was fine the next day, though I swear it wasn't working when I posted.
Now it's the Missions Depot where the 'Browse by...', 'Order...' and 'Sort' functions are, ahem, non-functional.
Either that, or it's just me. :whistle:
