<P><FONT SIZE=2>Actually BF:V doesn't support disabling content checking. It was one of the mistakes I had the chance to correct on my brief visit to Canada to help ship the game.<BR>
<BR>
Essentially you need the MD5 hashes to make things happy, but I'm not sure of Dice Canada included the necessary support stuff to build them. Really it's just a simple set of commands you need to run from a client install, but the beauty of it is that is won't break as easily as did the bf1942 system.<BR>
<BR>
Andy, do you know if the MD5-building script shipped with the game?<BR>

Subject: [bf1942] running mod on dedicated Linux Server<BR>
<BR>
I'm trying to get a Linux box running with our mod for battlefield<BR>
vietnam. (I'm aware of small/capital letters issue)<BR>
The server starts without any errors but if I'm trying to connect with a<BR>
client I get the errormessage: "Data differs from server"<BR>
<BR>
I added the following lines to servermanager.con:<BR>
game.serverContentCheck 0<BR>
game.serverUnpureMods "poe"<BR>
<BR>
but I still get the same error.<BR>
<BR>
For testing purposes I decided to create a new "empty" mod (poe1), but I<BR>
get the same error again.<BR>
I found out that it's possible to run a custommap on the mod, but not an<BR>
original bfvietnam map (incl. Mod modifications), as soon as I want to<BR>
run e.g. hue or kha shan I get the "data differs" error again.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Does anyone have a mod running a bfv map (incl. Mod modifications) on a<BR>
linux box?<BR>
I've already spent ages in find a solution to get it working but<BR>
unfortunately withouth any success.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Many thanks in advance<BR>
