New server -->
{MOB} Modern Weapons BAS!!
It is located at 8.9.4.78:28960
Right now it's running two games of Barbarossa and one game of Ponyri. It needs to have one stock map in it to run right with all the mods so if you'd like a different stock map other than Ponyri, no problem.
This server was created at the request of 6pak, McCoy, and Cuda, after a fun-filled night of testing my newest weapons mod. And yes, this new server has my newest modern weapons mod, version 7!!
McCoy volunteered to field all complaints and suggestions about this server and handle them as he sees fit. Thanks good buddy!
Frag on!
BTW, if you play on this new server, or any modded server, and then want to play on any other server, you will probably have to quit out of your coduo and then start it up again.
There are ways to get around this, but this method will always work for you.

Awesome job Steel!!!

Found this our new server by accident, when I started Xfire. Just had couple rounds and it was a blast!!! It was funny, that you could run faster than tanks move. Kleerance had BT-7 and I just ran away from him laughing

You could imagine his face! (Think it was Kleerance?) Running with rocket launcher was just out of this world. A moment I thought I was playing friggin Unreal Tournament!! You could almost fly.
It was a right moment to do something for our custom map Bas server. Just have to wait, if this was that needle in a hay stack, which brings people there. Couple things people were thinking, that are not yet in theif final shape ( or are they

):
- moving too fast
- jumping gets you too high
- tanks should be modern ones
- reloading is too fast
These were couple things, I noticed people were discussing during their first matches.
Anyway,

for everyone, who took the initiative in making this possible and

for Steel for putting this up. Thanks, Steel
Ok, enough boot licking!!!!! Back to battlefield..........

Hey ,Folks for a while now I've been playing modern weapons with planes on on the CZ server and got quite addicted.Heck i'm begining to feel like a traitor spending so much time there.Im not really one for the planes but that server is really cool.
NOW I logged onto the game and saw MOB MODERN WEAPONS BARB and was like now way...
This Mod of Steels is Art work baby !! I'ts really something special..And the wealth of weapons are awsome..I'm sure this server going to take off big time..
Thanks to you all T/A6 pak, cuda 440 ,Macoy,and anyone else i may have left out and of course our one and only Irraplaceable MS. STEEL well done..

..
I think I'm in love...

...If I could only get her #..LOL..
See ya out there... "T.M."
OMG -- Mechanic, don't you know that Modern Weapons Planes BAS is MY creation??? Yes, I made it up in December or so and paid for my own little 24-slot server called {MOB} Modern Weapons Planes, running stock BAS maps ... I posted about it all over these forums (do a search). Anyway, I didn't get much of a response from MOB, mostly just complaints, as usual, so after 2-3 months, CombatZone asked if they could have my mods and configs and I gave it all to them and stopped my server.
The instant they started running this server, bingo, it flew to top server rankings, and it has stayed there ever since.
Look in your Call of Duty folder, for whatever they've named their server's special folder, and you will see my mod there.... I think it's zzzz_steel_modw4.pk3 that they're running, the 4th version of my modern weapons mod.
It took me some time to figure it out, but how I made it was using part of the coduo Platinum War mod, which has the flyable planes. I had to delicately modify the configs, turning stuff off and on to get my modern weapons to play with it. I thought the result was fabulous and should be brought inside our big Mob-box .. but MOB was pretty-much underwhelmed, lol.
Anyway, glad you like(d) it.

I gotta say that my 1st impression wasn't that good as i am strictly a stock player. After a round or 2 i think i'm in love! The draganov is unreal!.. I THINK FOY WOULD BE A BLAST WITH THAT MOD. 88's would be pretty much a non issue with the accuracy of the guns. Anyway, whatever maps ya stick with is fine with me. Great job Steel!

ok.... wait a sec.... that was CRAZY S%*$.
i played yesterday eve with the usual BAS crowd and had an absolute BLAST ! ! !
at first i didn't know what to think as i am not a real fan of the mw server style of play but once i jumped in this thing and became used to the faster movement, walking with the zook - u really cook, the plethora of weapons that are truly amazing, and that freaking draganov i was HOOKED.
Steel - thanks for the time spent setting this thing up. get there early tonight laddies and gentleman as i'll be looking for your arses...

Thanks everyone, glad you're likin it.
I sure didn't think this server would get full and stay full all night, lol. Sorry that I didn't put in any private slots, didn't know it would need any this soon. Wow!
So at this morning's reset, I added 4 private slots, with the current private slot password.
Frag on!
All I can say is that I was up until 2:30 in the morning, OMG!!!!!
Just so everyone know's, Steel put about 2 or more weeks into the mods! Great job Steel, looks like you're going to have another #1 server.

I too stumbled across this server by accident last night.
WOW!! This thing is amazing!!
Steel, we are not worthy of your efforts, but if you feel like adding more maps I would definitely like to recommend Tuchola Forest. That map would absolutely rock with these mods.
Many, many thanks from this grateful soldier...
Damn Steel,
You brought a whole new look to my favorite map. This mod changes all strategy completely. Im love it, but im sure after a while of playing this, I will still miss the old Barb style of play. Maybe a year or so later, lol.

We [MFD] guys are VERY happy with the server. Three of us played last night and had a great time. The MAC-11 is the best base plant defending weapon I ever used. I'm pretty sure I killed five players trying to rush into a base to defuse at one point last night. Very cool.
I like the fast running, too, because it gives you even more chances to defuse the bases. If you get capped, you just respawn and run like hell to try again.
There were probably 15-20 folks on while I was playing so it made it even more challenging to blow up the last base, but it was REALLY fun.
We'll be back on tonight!
[MFD]MajorHavoc
I can put Tuchola on, or any maps y'all want. Just need everyone to decide. Or, we could do another server with Modern Weapons BAS Tuchola, lol.
I'm easy.... just not cheap. LOL!

Just played a couple games, and lol, that was fun. The rockets are insane! And gotta get used to the running...
I'm not a big fan of Ponyri, but Barb was wicked fun.
Nice job Steel.
Good for a bit of a change.
As previously mentioned, Tuchola Forest would be a great addition.
Although everyone else loves the Dragunov Sniper I would have to suggest modifying it.
When you have 99% of the people on the server all using the same weapon you know it's overpowered...
First server i played on with UO. Awsome server i might add.
Nothing is not aloud to play there anymore. Either is Capt. Canuck.
They clearly are huge, big, fat, ugly cheaters.
I demand they not play if I decide to go there again. Or they must play on my team, or if on the other team they agree to not kill me more than 5 times.
I think these rules are fair, especially for a guy that hasn't played base in months.

Well folks, I just learned a whole lot about Tuchola Forest -- it is a very picky map and does not play well with others. Bottom line, it won't be going into this server.
What I found is that if a player has any custom maps in his/her uo folder, then Tuchola won't download. The player's game hangs in an endless download where nothing happens. Sometimes it will time-out after about 5 minutes and tell you some unpure map to remove, okay fine. But the rest of the time it hangs there forever.
If I manually put Tuchola in my uo folder, then yes, the game would run fine. But Tuchola would not download for me if I had any custom maps in my uo folder. That, my friends, is not a good thing.
So, now I know why everyone's been shouting about not being able to get into mwcm, or back when I put up the custom sniper server.... it's the Tuchola map that is the problem. It will screw you up both ways, if it's on a server or if you're going to a Tuch server.
So, all of you Tuchola players, if you go to any servers with custom maps, you are probably going to have to take your Tuchola map out (mp_uo_tuchola_b3.pk3) of your uo folder before you can get on those servers. Because Tuchola will change your game's pure file list state to where other custom maps will not download to you. Or if they do, they may not run right, or you may experience severe lag.
So, no Tuchola Forest map for the mwba server. Any other map suggestions welcome.

I've played Tuchola and many other custom maps before and since and they work OK. Tuchola might be too finicky to work with modern weapons, but you can play it and still download many other custom maps.
I have had times where I get strange errors going into other servers. Perhaps that was Tuchola having an effect, but with about 15 different mod's in my uo folder, it would be difficult to say for sure where the problem originated.

Would it be possible to put Foy into the rotation on this server? I think that would be interesting if possible.. Great server by the way. Alot of fun!
Foy is now on the server. I took out Ponyri as seems not a lot of people were excited by it, lol. Honest, I'm not a bas player so you who are need to tell me what maps to put in there.
I saw a couple of connection-interruption problems today on the server. Until I know for sure what happened and figure out a fix, I reduced the player slots down a little bit.

It give "max characters exceeded" before it crashes. Usually when lots of people are on.

"Max gamestate characters exceeded", to be more accurate. Happened again when less than 30 people on. Personally, I had just barely fired my rocket, I could still see it in flight (and I was in base...a 15 foot area), and it crashed. In this case, it almost seemed like my action caused the crash. Could the rocket launcher be doing it?
Nope, it could have been Foy this time, conflicting with Barbarossa. I know that with the mods, there's not a lot of gamestate left over, and Barb is a huge map that uses a lot of gamestate.
I put back in Ponyri instead of Foy. Everythings exactly as it was when the server ran fine with no problems the other day.
However, there is another possiblity. It's under investigation.
Thanks for the info MOD.

Steel you use the awe mod right?
When I had my server befor I also ran awe mod, and in the read me files it said that it might crash the server if you run BAS game types. Which it did, just to give you aheads up.
M@ster of Dis@ster
07/01/07 2:59pm
I'm not sure if this is clear, but the "max gamestate" message has been happening since Friday, before Foy. I've been playing it a decent amount, and it crashed at least twice on Friday with that message. It also crashed today (Sunday) again.
For information purposes.
Is there a limit to the number of trip wires that can be set?
Every server I've played on with that mod has a limit. Just wondering if that could be a factor...
Shred and Burn
07/02/07 12:20am
At one point it wouldn't let me lay a tripwire and it said the team had reached the tripwire limit.
So there must be a limit.
Yep, five tripwires per team can be active at one time.
As Barkman said, it could be simply the AWE mod. I've ran my weapons mods in BAS with the Platinum War Mod, but never AWE before.

Hey Bar,
Next time hold up a sign that says "Hi, Im Bargod" And then Canuck and myself can distinguish which one you are. Im sure we can let you slide by us a few times.
Hey guys, I was going to put some changes in the middle of the night, and noticed that mwba seems to be running fine now.
It did not hang at all yesterday (Sunday). I know this because there's an internal file that changes date/time each time the server is restarted. That file was reset at Sunday morning's player-stats run and no time afterwards the whole day, so reducing the slots and putting back in Ponyri seems to have done the trick to keeping it running.

Before Steel did this update - there were hardly anybody playing barb at european "decent" time (23.30 that's 17.30 EST). Now its packed with players almost all day. I can't believe it
