• Kit Restriction is messed up.
• Deployable Assets spawn in finalstate.
• Deathtimer really short.
• TOW humvee messed up. Only when you go into max zoom the thermal turns off. I got the info its already versions ago messed up.
• But the teamplay on our server is better as in Deployment 

Fixed except the tow humvee

Bump

Just a reminder that the event will be this weekend

Can I get an update? or more detailed description on when it crashes?

Can I get some clarification on "Mortars not working" and "Bot spawn places"?

The rest I can fix now except mumble

Reserved post

REVENT DATE : SATURDAY the 11th of MARCH 6pm PRT/GMT

So let's get this out of the way, my final event for a while. It's aulmination of all 3 events plus a few extra maps. I have tested all maps ticket counts and bleeds and as far as I can tell non are going to end in 5 minutes.

There will be no signups, just typical coop fashion join or create a squad on the day.

The rules are the same as the last, if you don't remember, here's a recap:

Rules are standard =VG= coop rules but the commander has final say in squad movements and attacks, obstructive squad leaders will be resigned. Expect zero tolerance to rule breakage and bending during the event

Entry is simple, download the files (LINK). Check the forums on the day for server password. Join the server. Have fun.
The files for event 3 and the revent are both included in the same file, it is a large download for this reason (12 maps)

In addition there will be changes to the coop gameplay:
FOBs, foxholes and razorwire will need to be shovelled
Squad leader spawn-point is removed
Ticket count will matter
2 minute wait between each kit request.
Squadless kick is in effect
+Map specific changes

Hey guys, there will definately be a rerun of the events. I'm a bit dissapointed about the tickets, really not sure what happened there. Even beirut ended too quickly.

I've got some more events in the works but maybe I'll add a fixed karbala, bamyan and iron ridge to the next event with a few new ones.

Alright, T-4 hours ish.

EVENT PASSWORD : EVENT

Here we go, commander Melon reporting for Karbala!!!

So the aim is simple, defend the flags and bleed the enemy tickets.

For those confused how this map works or misunderstand I'm going to explain in more detail. There are 9 flags in total, the main HQ which will bleed all our tickets if the enemy captures it, and 8 surrounding flags. The 8 surrounding flags are grouped into 4 quadrants, and inner and an outer flag, NW, NE, SE and SW.
The flags marked A are the primary flags, the bots will attack these four flags first until capturing one. After capturing they will move on the next flag in the quadrant and continue to attack the rest of the flags marked A.
Example; The bots capture the NW outer flag, they will then begin attacking the NW inner flag and once captured move onto the HQ.

COMMANDER TIME!!!!

Basic info about the map, we have two 50 cal techies, three ammo techies and an SPG techie.
The 50 cals spawn at the mosque with the repair station
SPG spawns at the HQ
Ammo techies are scattered.
We also have a bunch of pickup kits, (snipers, AA, IED and MG) on the roof of the HQ

SPG and 50 cals are to be used only by QRF, whichever squad wants to run them let me know (needs to be 8 man squad).

At the start of the map there are two spawns, one on the HQ (left spawn point) and the other will spawn you randomly in the city. The HQ spawn will disappear after 5 minutes.

At round start I only want the QRF squad to spawn at the HQ.
The rest of the infantry is to spawn on the random spawn and move to the nearest outer flag (marked A), do not regroup with your squad at this point just defend that nearest flag.
I will assign the 50 cal techies to run transport, slowly regrouping squads together but still leaving flags defended.
Hopefully I can get a squad on each flag, but may have to assign a techie team from the QRF to defend one of the less assaulted flags
IF we lose one of the outer flags I will begin defending heavily on the next inner flag.
Remember to keep all squad leaders updated and let me know if you're being overrun.
I will be running one of the ammo techies and dropping commander rallies between squad coordination.

As for the event I have some news,

I do have to work the day, so there's a very good chance I'm going to be running off early hopefully late enough to see karbala through but who knows.

I still need a commander and warrior operators for Bamyan please. I don't care if you think you're shit, any commander is better than no commander. PLAYERS CAN NOW CHOOSE MORE THAN 2 SLOTS NOW TOO!!!!!

Prior to the event I was going to run infantry maps again, but instead I'm going to run Khamisiyah from the last event. if you don't have it you can download just khamisiyah HERE

Alright, a few major things!

THE DATE HAS CHANGED, the event will now be held on FRIDAY THE 10th

this is due to PRT falling on the same day and losing quite a few player to it.

THE DOWNLOAD IS UP!!! check the first post

On karbala there are only insurgent pickup kits, no US weapons. (time constraints)

On Bamyan, the convoy has had some major gameplay changes to make apc play more fun and hopefully keep them in a supporting role instead of hidden away.
APCs will respawn after 10 minutes, so there will always be apcs available. There is a vehicle depot at the start point, so apcs can repair and rearm but no logistics. Once an apc is tracked it's pretty much a lost asset.
Combat engineers can no longer repair the warriors

Heres a few screens from the test session, karbala and building the bridge on beirut

Let'sget some excitement happening again.

Signups are open, I hope we get some commanders for all maps, COs will get a full brief to make some useful battleplans.
Remember it's 2 slots per person atm more later if they're not filled. Make sure if you signup you will be attending or give enough time prior so we can change.

ATM I have, made a new navmesh for bamyan and iron ridge so bots are working well. Made some nice night settings for karbala, complete with streetlights. I've also destroyed the bridge on beirut.
only things left to do is some minor work, making pickup kits for karbala, militia helicopter and pilot kit and the helicopters for beirut. Then it's some quick private testing and we're golden.

Melon

EVENT DATE : FRIDAY the 10th of FEBRUARY 9pm PRT/GMT

I know what  you're thinking, Melon, why are you are you doing this so soon. Because I'm going on holidays in a week and I want to run this event when I get back, otherwise it's going to be 5+ weeks wait.

So, here it is. after a successful first event and hoping for an even more successful second round of Melon's bot shooting you in the head the second you look out a window extravaganza!!!

The rules are the same as the last, if you don't remember, here's a recap:

Rules are standard =VG= coop rules but the commander has final say in squad movements and attacks, obstructive squad leaders will be resigned. Expect zero tolerance to rule breakage and bending during the event

In addition there will be changes to the coop gameplay:
FOBs, foxholes and razorwire will need to be shovelled
Squad leader spawn-point is removed
Ticket count will matter
2 minute wait between each kit request.
Squadless kick is in effect
+Map specific changes

Signups are open, please choose no more than two positions until the final three days when more may be acquired. Infantry squads will not need to signup for the event, nor will squad members, but leaders may organise their own squad for the event.

Entry is simple, download the files (link). Check the forums on the day for server password. Join the server. Have fun.

Also - would it be possible to provide future event map ideas somewhere on the forum?

Anyone is free to make an event. I'll certainly help as much as I can, though if it requires modding expect me to either say it's impossible or I'm too lazy.

Thread locked

Sorry forgot the password, should be up

Thanks for the kind words, planning another in 2-3 weeks

T-12 HOURS Until start

FINAL PRE-EVENT POST

I know this has been said before, but I want it to be abundantly clear;

THERE IS A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR THE EVENT, YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE SERVER IF YOU ARE BREAKING RULES FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT, IF NOT LONGER!!!

With that out of the way, anybody who is not on the signup list may be removed at any time to make room for those in the signup list. Infantry squads are not signup positions, only vehicle operators and commanders are safe.

Those in TS3 remember it is an open channel to all those present, spamming or excessive shit spewing will get you kicked from TS. Mumble spam or music will get you booted from the game.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT spam a million bug reports or complaints are me, I will have no patience for the usual whining.

I have had no requests for install assistance so I assume you all managed it successfully. I am on TS for 2-3 hours after this post, come find me if you need it, after that I will not help anybody.

If the server crashes the event will restart at the map it crashed on. If it's a map issue the next map will be run.

Okay, so lots of interest delovoping including PR pubbies, which is good! I want to make it clear any rule breakage will be treated with zero tolerance, expect a heavy handed approach toward deliberate griefing.

We still need some more commanders, lashkar could very well use one with his CO rallypoints.

To give some insight on gameplay, I've made a 2 minute delay between kit requests,  as well as limiting rifleman to 1 per squad. Both to stop rifleman ammo spam.

FOBs, Razorwire, and sandbags need to be shoveled

5 minutes ago, Jersans said:

However just a (probably) dumb question from me. I got the event maps. They all work on local server and no crashes even with my poor 6 y/o old baby (peecee) but on the Khami map everything seems frozen as in the bots don't spawn and neither do the choppers. Is it me? Is it supposed to be like that or do other people have the same and it will be an issue? 

Also - I just noticed from the rules that if we lose the Strykers and Humvee (who are the only ones that can capture flags) on Ramiel we lose the game, basically they're our Achilles heel as there's no alternative strategy, so we'll need a kick-ass repair squad in the rear and close infantry support against those pesky RPG guys and elite infantry on point to clear the road.  It's probably going to be the hardest map I think because the assets can't/shouldn't take point so infantry needs to clear the map with the IFV and Humvee's providing fire support and defend flags with engineers in our back to keep us alive. Tough but awesome challenge there as three well aimed RPG hits can end the game in a matter of seconds 

Do we get a rematch if we lose?

The other maps are equally challenging but less risky if you ask me. 

The bot's on blufor don't spawn because it's designed for human team. The helis spawn times are weird and I'm not gonna go into detail, they spawn sometime around 7 minutes into the game. and I can't seem to get a sooner spawn without too quick respawn. I didn't have time to look for a fix.

Yep just play it safe on Ramiel, bots shouldn't be spawning right next to vehicles so no insta RPG. a well formed defensive circle should deal with most threats.

Rematch? Depends on how fast you lose. If the event runs well I don't see any reason not to run it again, though I have some cool ideas for other maps if they do run well and it's a sucess.

please run windowed mode. see if there's an error message.
Also what maps, or is it all?
 

Download is up, install instructions on the bottom of the first post.

I down't want a million people joining TS asking for help an hour before the event starts so if you have issues make sure to ask well beforehand.

The maps might sort of work in local, and some might not, either way they are designed for human team vs bot team so any bots on BLUFOR will have issues

New rule guys, 2 positions max. let some others have a go if they want. If the slots aren't filled then I'll open them for you.

Welcome to the first and hopefully not last PR co-op event.

Long story short I've spent a long time modding PR as some of you know and I've learnt a few things over the years. These events fall into a more serious category regarding difficulty, but hopefully just as fun as regular PR.

Signups are now open and available for asset positions and commander, infantry squads will be made on the day as per regular PR

Entry is simple, download the files (LINK). Check the forums on the day for server password. Join the server. Have fun.

Rules are standard =VG= coop rules but the commander has final say in squad movements and attacks, obstructive squad leaders will be resigned. Expect less leniency to rule breakage and bending during the event

On the other hand basically what happened yesterday was purely because of probably the majority of the players soloing or otherwise not assaulting as a team. So in that case it would make sense to ask players to squad up if you ask me. But fair enough. 

If they don't join a squad and play as a team what makes you think forcing them to join a squad is going to make them anymore of a team? 

If the server is full and there are no afk players, and there are people on TS who want to join, I think it's fair to say the unsquaded can be kicked, but only when those conditions are met which is next to never

10 hours ago, Jersans said:

1.) We admins are supposed to enforce the 'join a squad' rule correct? Meaning !w, !w, !k?

2.) As admins we are/should be required to lead squads when needed as for example in the previous conversation where it was painfully obvious that the game became frustrating due to people soloing and in the wrong squad.

3.) Is there actually a valid reason to have more people in a Trans squad then the pilots? I see no reason for it as Trans typically crashes or gets shot down with a missile?

Also - I will gladly admit that sometimes I sit out a map with trans or play as a medic/lat/grenadier because I don't want to play it (as SL) and just blablabla with my friends but I will always, when things go south, leave and create a squad to assist or finish the map. 

4.) We are pretty clear on the fact that if you have a defense marker on your flag it's perfectly valid to keep your squad there and build an FOB for fire support and defenses? Because that was just an odd thing there to me but I'd like to see it clarified for future reference.

5.) As squad leader you can obviously ignore orders from the commander if you deem them too risky or foolish. To be honest I am actually not clear on what to do as an admin when an incompetent commander takes charge. Ignore it. Resign him/her? What's the protocol?

1) No, we do not have a forced squad rule nor is it to be enforced by our admins.

2) No, you're admins to keep the server in order. You're not required to lead squads or play anyway you don't actually want to. (Besides abiding by the rules) Play the position you want to play.

3) Unless it's a full squad or close to it I normally have no issue with it. I believe in not causing drama when there's no need, If the pilots are happy I don't care.

4) Yes, because there is a chance for the enemy to recapture. Obviously it takes less to defend than to offend, so the more capable squads should be on the offense.

5) Depends on the situation, but it may fall under disruptive gameplay and you can resign. You don't need to obey order but should at least consider all valid orders.
