Suggest spreading people around in different squads rather than creating an elite one. Otherwise we'll be stuck on constant loop where the elite squad has to bounce back and forth between the flags since other's aren't able to hold / attack them.

Using bot assets = Cheating, which is against the rules, as those vehicles have: unlimited ammo, are a lot easier to operate, don't require special kits.

Melon and Double tried to remove the bot assets from the maps, but most of that work got undone with the latest update that reset all the map files again. All we can do atm is to wait for the Devs to fix the issue and send out the message for players not to use those assets for the time being.

If anyone uses the bot asset don't hesitate to use the !kill command, if done again, feel free to swing the boot.

The new flag capture system requiers you to have twice as many people on the capzone as the enemy does in order to cap it.

From what I have heard, there's already a patch planned for the currently broken things and should be released shortly

Request Denied

The only ban I could find for the hash that goes with your username was from 2015, so it seems the list went wild again.  The ban has been lifted and it should take effect on next server restart/crash. 

I'd recommend to not add the maps and wait for the word to get out to the general population for the time being. From what I remember from previous mappacks, it will take at least 2 weeks for people to get their hands on the maps and get them correctly installed. After that I guess we could give it a try and put them on for a weekend with a few weeks ahead notice and then, depending on how it goes, we can add them to the main map rotation.

Although it's quite enjoyable to fight off waves of bots with 16 people and trying to survive inside the bunkers while running around and looting enemy kits for ammo, it does get boring after a while.

Further more I do not know if these maps contain coop layers and whether they are stable enough to use.

They have COOP layers. COOP mappack after all.

Doesn't work on COOP

Your hash sneaked back to the banlist. You should be able to join now.

Tanks do not need to have the commander/machine gun seat occupied to leave the main base, but the squad cannot be locked until all available seats are filled.

I kind of disagree with this one. I personally think that it should be up to the Tank Commander (squad lead) to decide if he wants to have an extra gunner or not. Same as for the CAS huey.

5/7 times the extra gunner turns out to be a dude who just finished downloading the mod and has no clue of what's he's supposed to do, resulting in the annoyance of rest of the crew, slowing them down or worse case causing the crew to lose the vehicle due to the dude aggroing every single bot in the area by shooting randomly.

I was driving that tank, Sydney did the shooting. 

It really depends on pilot's flying stile and skill level. Slow and low flying jets are an easy target for armored vehicles who can take them down pretty quickly with their cannons. Inf equipment doesnt pack enough punch to take down a jet tho, unless you hit it with AT rockets.

Don't need any official patches. All that needs to be done is to upload the maps to dropbox or somewhere, people would have to download them and then drop them over to the levels folder. The same with TC admin. Just gonna upload the maps over there and done. Piece of cake.

My idea was to have the mappack running on the server on every few weekends after the campaign, with a week ahead notice.

Actually thought of going the EA path with DLCs and season passes

Only 3 factions have the paratrooper options atm - US, Russia and Germany. I'm personally not in favour of having those factions on a normal map as it would be too easy to abuse by skipping enemy's defences by just flying over them.

About testing :

Testing will be done in a controlled enviornment (campaign) that shall be launched once the maps are ready. After that, a feedback section will be opened where people can post the bugs / issues they found with the maps and to add suggestions. Once those errors have been fixed, the pack shall be released.

Can't wait to play Road Rage though!

First of all, Event Factory apologizes for lack of PR events lately as we have been busy with other projects. But finally Factory is at full production, so to feed people's curiosity, here's an update on progress done so far.

New/Old maps

Event Factory has been working on converting old PR 0.95 mappack maps with addition of some vanilla BF2 maps over to the current version of PR and even though some of the maps still require polishing, they are playable.

The maps currently done are :

Street 2                                   Op. Clean Sweep

Hills of Hamgyong                Helmands Field / -Return

sunset City                             Op. Road Rage

Great Wall                              Op. Phoenix

Al Kufrah Oilfield                  Road to Jalalabad

Wake Island

In addition to the mappack maps, Event Factory has been working on two sets of COOP campaigns featuring mappack maps and modified PR maps. Also the PvP events are being produced.

Special Thanks to :

PR Dev team for allowing us to use / change the maps

Sydney, Double, m823us for helping to test the maps.

Meiz & Double for providing the map files

=VG= TED(F)

Bijar still has the opfor flag layout

Muttrah seems to cause people to CTD when deploying after loading in.

Shilka 2 OP. Needs nerf,

Any admin wishing to get the admins list, let me know and I'll send it to you. The list is currently for admins only.

It could be that your Minecraft isn't getting enough RAM to be able to survive for long on servers with loads of machines running at the same time. Go to your AT launcher - Settings - Java/minecraft tab and check how much max RAM usage is allowed. It should be at least over 2gb in order for the modded minecraft to stay active.

Too easy to abuse and from what I know, the bot list doesn't work atm.

The admins have spoken. The ban will stay for at least a month.
