I can go turn the bot difficulty up

I seems for a couple of months now, the bots are on a significantly lower difficulty.

We find ourselves easily completing maps, which I remember were much harder, even with more people.

Spawning seems to be much lower in flags that are being currently taken.

It used to be the case that Sbeneh Std or Khamisiyah, it would be very difficult to take South city or Chemical, because of bots constantly spawning.

Charlie on Sbeneh used to be impossible.

Now I managed to complete these maps with 20 people. It doesn't even seem like bots spawn in the base, because sometimes the tank column never comes.

Muttrah Lrg used to be very difficult with less than 20 people, because enemy would Blitzkrieg all the way to North City. Now we can finish Muttrah with 10 people, because we cap West City before enemies even get there.

Jets used to drop bombs, now they only use cannon and sometimes rockets.

TOWs and AA mounts would shoot very quickly and accurately.

Bots still seem quite accurate with small arms fire, especially in forest maps, and RPG are still quite prevalent.

While this is fine for late nights and mornings with low population, we now really struggle to find any challenging maps. Unless we play Vietnam 24/7. Even that isn't guaranteed. I remember playing Barracuda ALT for 3 hours 1 round to get through Swamp and Supplies. Now I can't remember last time it took us more than 1 hour to complete this layer.

No issue with the map this morning.

Seems like a lot of these rules can be boiled down to 1: "don't be a dick".

"Shocking news: F35 lands on Queen Elizabeth, crushing the old lady. The nation is in mourning."

Eeeww.. I bet you're the kind of person who also hangs the toilet paper roll the wrong way around!

We need to make everything shovelable again? Let's put it to hard mode! I have also seen something happen to the bots difficulty. We now steamroll through most maps that used to give us a hard time.

Double working on Crysis PR mod:

Outpost still crashes, albeit later in the game. As Double said, no mumble on that map.

You can build FOBs without crates.

You can build razor wire without shoveling.

I heard Ranger say there are no kit restrictions?

So now that the house is unpacked and I'm a gimp (...)

Meanwhile, at OneActual household:

The most annoying ones are emplacements. You can build them with a single (or zero?) small crate. But none of them are usable with any kit.

Outpost map is broken.

For what purpose are you buying those microphones?

If it's gaming, then a headset with a microphone would obviously be superior.

If you are a vlogger or a radio personality, I'm not sure there are many people here qualified to answer.

@Xenalite  the INF maps you unblocked are not that easy to play with 10 people and the problem is that on some the main can be capped making humans unable to spawn at all. (for example mapList.append albasrah_2 gpm_coop 16) The ticket bleed is slow meaning that in that time the humans cannot spawn at all and the people simply will leave because they cant even play. 

I don't mind those maps been in it as it is fun to play those maps but I added most of them with the idee that a bunch of randoms should be able to play it without getting wrecked. 

The list i made was just a general idea list and some maps can be removed. I am just providing feedback on your ideas why I blocked them if you think they should be in its worth a shot

 

You are right that situation when blue main gets capped by bots is not ideal. If the ticket bleed was quick, then at least the map would be over very soon.

Problem is we lose the map so rarely, that we don't always know which maps have this behaviour. Also, if only we had an R-CON person nearby that would fix those issues.

We should not have excluded all those maps. The ones I underlined are perfectly fine to play on smaller populations.

In fact, we've been having a lot of fun and good squad cooperation on INF maps, when it's harder and not just shooting fish in a barrel with assets.

I think it's pretty tedious when we have rounds that finish in 15 minutes. The criteria for starter maps was not that they would be easy, but that they would be finish-able without !runnext.

INF - 16

ALT - 32

STD - 64

LRG - 128

Can unblock these maps:

mapList.append muttrah_city_2 gpm_coop 128
mapList.append kashan_desert gpm_coop 128
mapList.append karbala gpm_coop 16

I only added them as an example.

We managed to do Sbeneh INF with 16 people online, though it took a while.

Khami INF and Pavlovsk INF can probably be taken out of starter maps though. One doesn't bleed, and the other is very difficult.

This is a first draft, so we will probably need to do some adjustments as we go along.

As to crashing - I think it's likely due to random maps, because we are now more likely to play maps that are perhaps less stable. Good to keep an eye out for suspected bad maps.

Does it shahadah bleed tickets?

Yeah... Also. Get a stronger processor. I got a coffeelake i5 but that might be too much.

Theres some php error on it and I can't fix it.

PHP itself is an error.

My mumble shows as disconnected after the update almost every time. Sometimes I can talk, sometimes not.

It's a script the devs have put in to try to fix invisible SL bug.

I've seen VG members run this command sneakily sometimes.

Summer's always empty. People would rather go outside and play the real Project Reality. Very good graphics, but shit gameplay.
