Server Chaos

Posted: Wed Jul 28, 2010 10:30 pm

This post is aimed at getting a handle on some of the server chaos. More of a backup plan for when we find ourselves running a sandbox type mission that doesn't have the fly script implemented. Like now.

The wait period worked but as time went on, all the idiots started getting the clearance to fly. I thought about trying the "Ranked" option in the mission parameters. It's still the "revive" mission version. This is basically a wait period based on your play performance.

People that team kill get punished and it will take them longer to be able to use what they would like to use.
People that are idiots can lose the clearance to use certain vehicles(can't take away clearance when strictly time based and the server does this for us)
Complete noobs won't ever be found taking off in an attack aircraft.

I hope to be able to get on tonight at some point to see what effect it has on pubs and the server in general.

This all won't matter once we have an official mission with fly script implemented/default params implemented and Nick's additions. Take note on the overall play tonight if you happen to be on and the server fills up.

Oh F. Scratch all that. The "Ranked" mission parameter also limits the ammo boxes even if you don't have weapons limited set to "yes".

I guess we just need to get a proper file created.

So why don't we "BUMP" how to get this and to whom we send it. It'll be a start.

I sent KShaufl the updated no fly script, so the Dom should have it.

You reckon this is why War is getting kicked? He said it was BattleEye though.

Prophet, make sure you start Vent first with as admin and then start OA as admin. That should stop the battleye kick(if you are getting the insufficient privs error)

I think last night I hit my breaking point. I am absolutely tired of non-clan member players. I give up.

I have suggested in the past that we lock the server on Saturdays when we run our missions because the other players don't listen and do as they please. After several minutes of kind pleading with eventual yelling and banning, they still don't listen. An indication that getting a public player to follow orders is an epic fail.

Those players that do listen and join us in vent are very welcomed. We are not unreasonable, because we play with ROE and there is a chain of command on the battlefield which seems to work, and it is improving ever time we play together.

I am done with Monday to Friday play, and will only play on Saturdays if the server is locked. I'm sorry, but I can't take the public players making my gaming experience feel like a marriage. The reason I play is to escape the bs and enjoy a couple of hours playing the game.

I feel your pain.
I prefer locked servers myself. If we had 2 servers and one was for custom missions and pw'd that's where you'd find me.

I think if you only have one server it has to be public.

I know I'm new here, but I been doing some thinking about the server dilema you seem to be struggling with on a regular basis. I've hung with a few clans whether it be as a friend or a member since the first orginal Delta Force, and the best server I ever played on was passworded for the same reason's were dealing with here. How they dealt with it was to have 2 servers,1 public and 1 passworded. If you wanted to play with the clan you were either invited or from a link on the main page of the clans website, to an application where you read the rules...agreed to them..filled out the app...and in return they're sent pertinant info for comms...passwords ect..and carrying the understanding that they are guests and can be asked to leave at anytime based their on conduct. It ran quit well and we had some good nights gaming, and made some long lasting friendships. "AND" it weeded out the Rambo's.

Just my 2 cents

All the Best!

The new missions now have the "No Flyscript" added. If we continue to have issues with aircraft the "No Flyscript" will have other aircraft included in the list. Or possibly a separate list to allow certain added pubs to fly non attack aircraft.
