Sat 13th - Sun 14th Dec - Public Play

[[R-DEV]UK_Force]

I am doing the post now, so need that download link asp really, as for the server password, can I not remove it through BF2CC ?

No, you can't remove it using BF2CC. You need to edit the serversettings.con file, and then restart.

What I could try is shut it down, and schedule it to come up on Saturday at 10am. That might work.

I'll test on Thursday. No time today/tomorrow I'm afraid.

Ok mate, just let us know the outcome


Post is up and will be Auto distributed externally to numerous gaming sites :-)

Yes

Tactics & Teamwork is NOT a clan !!!

Anyway - I don't think [T&T] need that much prominence. We're only providing a server, not tea and biscuits too.

Also - 13/12/08 might be misunderstood by Americans (well - only if they think there are 13 months :p) so might be best to put 13 Dec 08 or something.

Also - "being run unpassworded" is bad English. How about "open to the public" or something less "wordy" if you know what I mean.

How about something simple like:

[[R-DEV]UK_Force]

Any last changes?

If it's good can someone PM Rhino a link as I don't have time tonight.

[[R-DEV]UK_Force]

Got a few changes that I think should be made before I put it up.

Main changes being that the "sponsored" bit goes into the bottom right, "Feel free to bla bla" changed to "Public Play, All Welcome!" in bigger text, change "DR Public Play" in the bottom left to just a bigger "Desert Rats" and change the URL to "http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f283-pr-community-event-forums/", URL could stay the same in fact due to the news post.

[[R-DEV]epoch]

I agree - the sponsored thing shouldn't be so prominent.

Regarding the URL - who manages your website? You just just as easily get them to do a redirecting URL in the web control panel - so you could publish something like realitymod.com/desertrats and that forwards to the news post. Makes it a lot simpler and eye catching.

Speaking of eye catching - I'd suggest being more liberal with capital letters. LOTS OF CAPS are harder on the eye. Use them for attention grabbing headlines, but not everything.

Yes - I used to teach typography.
