a few of us like to practice the use of artillery but they don't like to wait so long for the points to gain rank..

where can i change the config to make it easier to get the binoculars?? what is the command? can i make the points less??

scr_rank_ppr "5" // points per rank
scr_force_rank "5" // forces an initial rank on players

Points per rank can be a bit odd. I was using an "exec configfile" in the test server maprotation, but the points per rank wasn't taking effect until the following map. It was as if the battlerank settings were already set in stone when it exec'd the config file. Due to the flurry of map testing, I never had time to sit down and figure out why.

I didn't try "mapname_gametype.cfg" files, however (i.e. mp_uo_tuchola_forest_beta1_bas.cfg).

i did not see that line for the points per rank?? i looked in my uoconfig_mp . i found it in the awe 2.12 though

where did you find your setup at?? i am not using a dedicated server, just my pc
scr_rank_ppr "5" // points per rank
scr_force_rank "5" // forces an initial rank on players

Ah, you're using AWE... that's a whole different ballgame. I run stock UO 1.51 on my test server and those two points-per-rank and force-rank CVars are built in.
