Very impressive! Now I'm gonna feel bad if I make any jokes... It seems that chinstrap is fucking up the one thing that a chinstrap is supposed to do. And I'm surprised that they take personal care of their Q-tips - you'd think given the history of the Soldier and Officer classes in the British Military, they'd have a designated Bearskin waif to clean them all while the men drink bitters and play billiards.. (ba dum - tiss) (I said I'd feel bad, didn't say I wasn't gonna make any jokes!) aw, now I feel bad cuz those guys are really cool

*request runway* ^using that as a command for "When I say..." will make it so that any sentence that CONTAINS those words will fire the desired command. Note the asterisks on either side of the entire sentence. Very similar to the example I posted before. It's also worth noting that the developer of Voice Attack states that wildcards using asterisks like I've shown are "somewhat unsupported" and therefore can be problematic - care should be taken whenever using them. The actual quote from the guide:

You'll obviously have no trouble finding the comms hotkeys and/or create simple macros for these commands, so there will be keypresses and you'll need to know those keys. Then there's the actual "call" commands for each action - of course you can make it a full sentence(s) "Request Landing Clearance" and that will work just great. But if you want a wee bit more variety and options to how you say that, you can add a few dynamic choices for VA to recognize, and also a few recognition inclusions for words that "sound like" words in your command so you don't find yourself repeating your command over and over. Here's my request landing command -- the asterisk* at the beginning means that ANYTHING I say that ends with this bit will register like, "Osan Tower this is Cowboy 1-1, requesting landing clearance" **BE SURE TO USE PAUSES BETWEEN KEYPRESSES! At least 0.050 and sometimes as long as 0.50 depending on the game -- some games can run super fast macros, some are old and need longer pauses. Explanation of Symbols and Structure of a Dynamic Command such as the one above: ; <- a semicolon is a separator meaning "or" so that you can have more than one choice for command word(s) or sentence(s). Note that either of those dynamic statements will call the command. ^ABOVE IT IS HIGHLIGHTED IN RED! [word1;word2] <- either word can be used, but at least ONE of them must be spoken [word1;word2;] <- either word can be used, or neither at all *request landing <- any sentence ending with "request landing" will execute this command request landing* <- any sentence beginning with "request landing" will execute this command So, there's much depth in Voice Attack, and I hope this little bit prepares you for the few things you'll like to do for your Falcon BMS voice commands. Any questions, feel free to ask! Good luck!

Yes - you want to use Voice Attack which uses Windows Voice Recognition. Pick up Voice Attack here: https://www.voiceattack.com/

Thank you for hosting the event TEDF! What a great turnout!

He's a legit player as far as I can tell, plays off and on since July 2017, first seen in June. Not too many Admin warnings, minimal teamkilling (and apologizes afterwards), and generally seems like just another regular player. His most frequent times seem to be 1600 ZULU through 2000, I didn't note the days of week/etc. but I believe you should just talk to him. Maybe try chat first, not sure if his mic is working or if there is a large language barrier, but he does appear to speak English and he is in Indonesia. Just ask him kindly - maybe it was a mistake, or maybe he pushed the button to see what it did and it claimed the name to his profile. Pretty sure you can just "claim" the name back to you on the Gametracker website. But I doubt it was anything malicious. Feel free to report back.

Well done, sir!

Thank you very much, Cobalt! I thought I was gonna be flying today, and my body was all "I don't think so, bucko!" - it's 6pm and I'm finally feeling better, so I'm hoping and praying I'll be there tomorrow. I LOVE the first days of the war!! Dodging SAM's and chucking spears at MiG's -- a little piece of heaven!

Definitely would like to see how this plays out. Jeffu and I hit some tank battalions in East Pyongyang and some A-10C's were also dropping bombs in the area. Static said he's been hoping to see this one to the end as well, so let's keep up the pressure!

Thanks for the notice! I've updated the server, it's back online, we tested mumble, all is well.

Announcement added here to website, upcoming calendar events added to home page (which would be an easy place for people to comment "I'll be there"), PR COOP TS3 Channel Description, and in-game MOTD updated, I assume it will go live on next server restart or maybe next mission load: "WELCOME! Join us November 11th 2017 for a Public PR COOP Event! Details at VETERANS-GAMING.COM" edit: when I updated the server just now, I did a mumble test with Kenji (who was in TS3) - before I left, I asked "you gonna be at the Event?" and he hadn't heard of it. Like Kav said, so many don't come to the website, so when you're playing, ask your friends and the people you play with if they are going to attend - if they've not heard of it, it's a good chance to direct them here to the website. I'm sure more than one will be impressed with the Mission Briefing that TEDF has prepared and we'll get more people joining it if we hype it a bit in-game over the coming weeks.

I will update the in game Message of the Day with a promo for the event. I will also put up an announcement here at the website linking to this thread. I've already added it to the calendar here, but it's not used and not pinned to the home page.. I might find a space for it above the chat. Kav and I were talking about hosting weekly training events for various games, not just PR, and the calendar would help with that. Anyway, didn't mean to get off topic.. We'll get some active promotion going for this event.

Because GameTracker is not perfect. It is a known bug in GameTracker - do not worry about it. All of those players are legit (except FastJack - he really is a bot )

Thank you for that clarification! Just wanted to know what I'm signing up for beforehand

So... this will be a PvP event?

No offense, but I'd still like to hear from Double what HE meant by this...

What exactly is that supposed to mean?

Are you unable to ban them? Please just ban them if you can.

^ This here... and ^ this here... I have no idea why you think it was a bad time to post this. I also want you to know this is not a disturbance. I do not understand why you think it is a disturbance, or a bad thing to post. I really hope you understand now any frustration I expressed above was in regards to the initial lack of details regarding this post. For example: I'm about to clean house and ban several people from the server that I did not know where playing here - people with the name Hitler - and I'm frustrated that this is the first time I'm hearing about recent players using this name. I'm NOT disturbed and I am NOT bothered that I have to deal with an issue or work with the server files or logs -- it is ALWAYS okay to report poor behavior on our servers!! "I did this, but HE did that - I got in trouble, but HE did not!" .... just gonna say this once: You are all not part of every warning or action or "talking to" that every other member receives. You also don't get to read every report I get from people other than you. If I spoke with Melon about that incident after receiving private reports, you all would not be informed of such reports or any actions I took. If you think I could even devote my own brain to remember such an event, you are mistaken - I deal with examples such as this as they come, and then I move on. When I receive a private report about someone and have to talk to them, I do not mention specific details FROM the report, such as the name of the person/people reporting or any details that would reveal such information whenever possible or appropriate. In this way, I hope that I am acting with the utmost professionalism and respect for all of you. Many of you know what I am talking about because it's very possible that people reading this thread (at least 3 for sure) have been talked to BY ME regarding something they need to improve, and NONE of you even know about who/when/why because I treat you all with respect and give you all the chance to improve your behaviors or attitudes during your time here. I CERTAINLY DO NOT make these matters public, especially when they involve a PR Admin, VG Clan Member, Server Manager or fellow Head Administrator. Furthermore, remember: It's not always what you say, but how you say it. Attitude is everything. If you act out, police yourself: don't to it again - cool off, and come back and don't do it again! Everyone gets upset sometimes, let's all do our best to keep those events as rare as they can be. It's not like "Melon gets a pass" -- YOU ALL GET A PASS! If you keep up, if you can't improve, like I said: you sign your own ban. Most everyone I've talked to after events that come to my attention has always chosen to improve and to do better. edit: I like to think I do a good job here, but I am always open to constructive criticism. Some people may wonder what it is that I do here, and this is it. Sometimes instead of playing games or chatting with friends, or working with the servers on the back end, I have to de-escalate high level matters directed at the upper management of this Clan, and ensure that people move forward appropriately, otherwise I have to ask them to leave (which doesn't necessarily involve a ban in every case). I deliberate with the other Administrators here as appropriate, and we form a consensus when applicable at times. This is my role. I love what BLuDKLoT and the others have built here so much that I would do anything to help it persist, including making the hard calls when necessary. Some of them got more busy, I have more time - so it defaulted to me to act as "OIC" when necessary. Just FYI. So, here's an example of where I'd like to express myself by ridiculing your statement in a humorous fashion (but in a friendly way), except that I feel I cannot do so because it will be lost in translation. I might sound like a dick, when I only wanted to make you and I laugh at something you wrote. Understand my general point using this example that when words are taken out of context, they can be incorrectly judged. In those cases, it's important that we all get more information, ask others what THEY though was meant by a person before taking action against that person. So, I will sanitize my words so they translate better: I have no idea what you are saying with this quoted statement. Please try again. ...but I'd rather just quote an Adam Sandler movie to be funny: "What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for reading it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." If a player deserves a kick, they get a kick. Again, we always give every player the benefit of the doubt, but we can only compromise so much. We have rules - they are posted - we have routes to get unbanned. Now, I'm gonna go ban every player that has the word Hitler in their name who has played on this server recently. I'm surprised, again, that this thread is the first I've heard of this. Those keywords were helpful, but if you see any specific trend forming, let us know and we can scan the logs for names with those keywords. Thanks for the reports!

*Keep in mind that there are certain COOP Maps that look cool, but do not work well online in COOP. The PR Admins know which maps cause frequent crashes, and which maps empty the server because players do not like them - so some of the deciding factors in our current Map Rotation Sets (1-4) include Stability, Playability, and/or Functionality. Here's all the current maplists (separated by large dividers) and you can feel free to edit it in Notepad - change some things around - and then send me a copy. I will run it by MelonMuncher and if he approves, we will make it a new rotation(s) on the server. Melon has to approve because he is the most involved and because he made all these COOP levels, knows which ones are stable enough to run, and knows which ones can empty a server (therefore knows which maps NOT to set as the starting map, for example).
