Two different animals. TCP/UDP is built for WAN architecture and IPX/SPX is built for LAN architecture, the prior is for internet connections the later is for local networking. IPX does not perform well in WAN environments and has scalability limitations even if you use a UDP wrapper, which is just the making of kludge supreme sandwich. If you're attempting to get an old code base online for multiplayer, it will likely need a connector setup to DirectX to use its engine which would be the cheapest and easiest way but the entire game would need to be rebuilt to support that. On older code base updating to modernize it into Win10/11 (supported OSs) would be the expensive part. That's usually why platforms without deep pocket support usually sunset. There are rare oddities out there but they are passion works usually supported by a devoted author with tons of time and something to prove. Don't know anything about EAW so can't speak directly on that so make of this what you will.

Why are we bumping a 12 year old topic. Wild

I can still see the "Be Kind Rewind" sign and hear the sound of tapes in their plastic boxes being tossed into the return box.

No, but I'll explain in a PM.

Really some good ideas, keep them coming. You guys have some amazing creativity. I'm enjoying reading your ideas.

We used to use AF ranks, they seem ordinary at this point. Plus those who have earned those ranks in real life, feels a little bit of a disservice to toss them around like they mean nothing. That's kind of why we changed to the old groups / badges.

My favorite response so far. 3 is GOATed, 1 & 2 most practical and easier to badge but I could see 3, it's unique and I like that. Need someone to graphic some ideas. I think it was @Geezer that made our last badges and they served us well, miss that guy. Opinions on my thoughts welcome.

Well if the truth be known my ancestry is British. 3x or 4x great grandad made the journey by ship in 1757. The years after that the ancestors were hitting everything that's not nailed down and probably that too.

Hi all, Our forum assigns roles and perks based on each member's group name. Those group names are things like New Member, Gold Member, Senior Member, Modder Member, and so on. I'd like to come up with a set of names for our primary users and need six of them. I tried something aviation squadron related, it's what we're using now, and I'm not in love with it at all. So I'm going to reach out to all of you for your input and ideas. For the trouble and in the sense of fun I'd be willing to throw in a gift card or membership for the winning set. Let's see if we can generate some involvement and some ideas at the same time. Let me know your ideas. Erik

What problem are you speaking of?

Yep, I was making some changes and removed them from our skin sets for just the phone version. So either your tablet is cosplaying as a phone or your phone is cosplaying as a tablet. The sidebar should be back and viewable on your phablet. Thanks for the report.

Your upgrade to the Free Membership hadn't happened yet. There's a 5-10 minute delay from login to account upgrade. The task has to get in line with all the other things happening behind the scenes. This is just normal operation of the new system so we don't cancel paid memberships or knock the admins off their accounts by mistake. Glad it's working as intended.

I have no idea, we have thousands of files and hundreds of directories. Make my job easy and link the file or provide a URL so I can look at the specific file and category listing. That's probably what I'd say you're missing. Thanks for the report and let me know what you come up with.

https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/article/zemkes-wolfpack-famed-p-47-fighter-group/ I changed all our group names for members to be fighter squadron names, might change them but I was tired of the old basic names.
