Be great to see some Army Jeeps too.

Love this historical map.

It would also mean if you lose a tank you dont have to drive it all the way from main base but rather just from the beach provided you took the trenches.

There's a good idea that adds to the theme of D-Day, you could still leave it so the support ships show up once the trenches have been secured and also have the tanks spawn inside the ships as well as the logis.

I don't know if the tanks would fit though?

If I were to make the tanks that originally spawn way back at the boats non respawnable but add tanks that spawn on the boats after you take the trenches be a good change or worse change. 

I think this would be worse because once that OPFOR armor turns up to WN72 and you have no tanks to combat them, you're screwed unless you have a full server. What would be an improvement would be Logi's spawning once we capped the beach not the bunkers especially once the server settings go back to the large crate deployment for building FOBs. At the moment we can spawn them without a crate which is handy but it would kill the server if we reverted to our normal settings.

Almost!

Good  work everyone, mission accomplished!

Bollocks! That doesn't count, you gotta cap all the flags to meet my expectations!

BMS Server down.

Karbala STD is working again folks, this should make @=VG= Skitalezhappy. The server did crash about half way through the map so its not perfect but at least its not crashing immediately.

Yes as @=VG= m823us and myself observed today Omaha Beach is definitely bugged in that once you get to Vierville Sur Mer the rate of CTD rises dramatically. Its a great map otherwise.

We had a server crash on Omaha Beach yesterday sorry forgot to record the time but we were doing ok, with 22+ players, actually capped the beach and the first bunker before it crashed. Hard to tell whether it was due to smoke on the water bug (has that been fixed yet?) or something else. I did manage to win a match on Omaha but on another Coop server so before we add this one to the nerfed map list lets give it a decent try out.

03:14:48 ZULU Server Crashed immediately loading Qwai River STD, previous map was Muttrah City STD.

No problem Chaz, Stark and I can be found in the Training room on the BMS Channel in Team Speak, we use that when we're not in the pit.

Yep Stark, myself, Daniel, CraB, and now Ereen. We're noobs but doing a regular training mission every Weekend at 15:00:00 ZULU (clock on the home page). You're welcome to join us but I hope we don't bore you because we're learning the basics.

Remove the old version go to the downloads page on the Project Reality website:

I use the qBittorrent program to download it because its recommended and its the fastest way to do it.

Follow the installations instructions here:

type in the console, AdminCSMode

Echo that, it was pretty good fun, makes a huge difference playing deployment with guys you already know. I can see this taking off the adrenaline rush is something else.  There's no reason why we couldn't organize regular events for PR or BMS for that matter. I'm currently schooling up on SEAD missions but we could have rookie missions for those wanting to get into it.

The footage is great @=VG= SemlerPDXbe good to have a camera man for both sides of the battle those panoramic views are cool!

I want to be a cameraman

Yeah pretty easy to use the camera, hit SHIFT + P  when you're in the game and away ya go.

i'm happy to step down from the SL position on the day to let others have a go at leading, building assets, HABs etc. The sign up list is just a good way to build interest in the event.

So whoever is writing the new "Squad Holy Bible". Please get the most essential rules laid out first. 

Agreed, I also think we should start a new thread to discuss what goes into those rules, my only suggestion is that we shouldn't stray too far from the Squad Developer's Guidelines if we are hoping to become a licensed server some ways down the track.

Somehow we'll need to incorporate official Squad guidelines and principles into our "Official =VG= Squad Server Rules".

I'd also love to require microphones, but it's hard to require them 100% of the time. Some play while family sleeps, forgot their headset at uni, or have guests over and can't be talking to their computers. Even the best of players get into these situations, and then they can't do the thing they're really good at (leading, CAS, support,...) so our team loses that benefit.

Quote

Quote from the Squad Game Server Administration Guidelines.

1.6 - Admins should not impose server wide rules requiring microphones, provided players are willing to use text chat in it’s stead. The two exceptions are that it is acceptable for individual squad leaders to impose a "microphone required" rule for their squad at their discretion, and it is acceptable for a server to require squad leaders have a microphone.

Awesome event that was a huge amount of fun, no wonder us insurgents had so much trouble with the Brits rofl! Footage is absolutely  the "ducks guts" Sem!

If you missed this event it was a biggie no doubt we will all get better at this with time. Still fighting with controls, deploying HABs and all that technical stuff but we just gotta keep doing this on a regular basis. Its a lot better when we've got full squads on both sides, and pretty intensive, gets the blood pumping!

Thanks everyone for turning up and best of all having fun!!

Done

The problem with no mic is that Squad does not have the commo rose equivalent AFAIK that we have in PR but it does have text chat so it is possible I guess to run a squad without a mic, not ideal though.

If we switch to a skirmish layer there wouldn't be any vics

Yes this Skirmish layer could be a good way to start off, very simple and probably fairer for both factions.
