Ok, our Barbarossa server which runs Barbarossa 24/7 is full pretty much all the time.

On the contrary, our Custom Map Base Assault server which runs the following maps:
Barbarossa
Vitebsk
Ardennes 1944

.....Is rarely full......

My question to you all is WHY?

Are we running the wrong maps? What maps should we run? What BASE ASSAULT maps would you like to see on this server?

All of your input is welcome... We're looking to make our Custom BASE ASSAULT server just as popular as our Barbarossa server and need your ideas.

I like the smaller maps. Cassino is a good example. I was playing just COD the other night and thought the original maps were pretty cool. I don't like running so far to get into the action.

Ramo's, ....... Cassino is NOT a base assault map.

I dont know RD. I like the maps on that server. I'd play on it more if others would too. It seems as if Barbarossa pulls 'em in, but then they leave by the time ardennes 1944 comes about. So i dont know if maybe some people dont like that map? I've seen some complain that it too confusing. You think maybe adding a couple stock maps would help? Like Foy, Rhinevalley, Kursk. I'm not sure what gets a server going.

I personally like the custom server, although it doesn't get alot of action. I used to jump on that before Barb just because there was 2 other maps on it, besides Barb. maybe the maps do need to be rearranged, bigger maps are better. That's why I like the Barb. map so much. If you added the 3 maps Undertow suggested "Foy, Kursk,Rhinevalley" that might help.

I didn't use it as an example of a good base assault map, Mr. Tow -- I used it as example of a good "smaller" map.

Geez. Okay. What about Kharkov then?

I would like to have the standard BA maps. Adding the custom in with them may help. Hard to say.

LOL..There is a Karkov base beta map out. Base assault is the only game type it supports. The only downfall is you have to plant the bomb on the outside of the bunker. NOT INSINDE. Something to do with the scripting of it. You still had to breach it first though.

Have you ever played it? It's a friggin' fantastic smaller map. Everyone that plays COD is familiar with it to begin with and this base assault version rocks. Who cares if you have to plant bombs outside the bunker? It makes the foot soldier more valuable -- which is what most of these other base assault maps lack -- everyone ridin around in a friggin' heavy vehicles and very little hand to hand. This map combines both elements. And only one or two heavy vehicles. And, I think players love city maps in general.
Real asked if anyone had any suggestions to spice up the server and this is a unique option -- in my opinion. In your opinion it gets a "LOL". That's cool, but the current maps aren't working and this is a suggestion on a way to be different. Don't you think people are a little tired of playing Rhine Valley and Foy and Kursk? Yeah, those are unique suggestions (yawn.)

Yes i have played on it, But only a couple times with 2 to 3 people. I like the map. And sure some people are burnt out on the stock maps, But i still find some of them fun to play. It was just a suggestion, I thought that's what this thread was. I forgot about Kharkov. Glad you mentioned it.

i dont see anyone that uses them maps constantly busy. barb is cool but we run it 24/7. most people leave at vitsbeck(?) I think that the map sucks. what about running barb in conquest or what ever the alternative is? keep away from stock maps. there are 4000 other servers that run them. keep with the custom maps, what about checking what maps woork and what dont? god im drunk. well, I dont like the other maps cuz the dont flow well. most maps (tock) flow in a circle. town in middle for infantry and out sid eto blow tanks...blow...lol...neway the map has to flow good. barb is a head to head map, and it flows great lost a ways about to get to the bases...the 1944 map is confusing and is over thought. vitebesl is over thought as wekl. what evea wroks for these people....
i like the afact that we run odd ahit and it works for the people. btw letts get the roockets back in cassino. I think we lost people dye to that. what about getting diffrent custom maps? sid i say that already? shit i dont want to re read what i rote.... oh well... look smack the bitches up and say " hey fuck tard why dont you like this?" and they shopulf answer.,.. also when i come back (soon) i will play there more often... I like that. you like that? heres aan idea why dont we mob and regs hol;dlittle scrims on fri or sat between each other? what if we ran ba w/o tanks? and rockets? i heard it gets popuylar? think I should go nowa dnd keep the booze flowing.... peace yall... yall are cool.... so weird i have internet frriends.... lol... we should get tgether and drink some time.... have some special brownies or go to a titty bar.... lol... might see diesel swinging from a pole.... lol!

wow.... I shouldnt drink and post... I dont know what i was saying... what a difrence 2 hours makes...

LMAO..........here's to ya Silver

OK there is my opinion for the other server...we join up ladder 6 vs 6 so we have to have a server who run standard map...whit friendly fire on... so this way we can get practice all togheter....like MOB vs Public or Mob Reg so this way we will be prepare for match and make strategie and get use of those standard map....and i have a lot of thing or tricks to show you, how kill a tank whit 2 shots on the nose for exemple.... and during a match i will spectate you and give you advise to make you some good bastard i already play in twl and we have been on no1 spot for about 2 months until NAS show up whit 10 or 12 players, all those guys are dedicated players of base assault.

If we are playing Italy for a match for exemple...will be good to run that map for a couple of days so this way everybody will know the map and the good spot. time to get prepare for battle guys

I'm with Cleaner!! Who did you play with in TWL Cleaner?? 2 Hit on the nose hmmm

Thats a good idea.

we have our practice server that is running stock maps. I think the regs would scrim us and they probably would like to get a team up.

He must have been with OCG.... they were #1 until NaS took it.

Your right frosty

I generally suck at BA no matter what. So whatever goes up I'll play. I like smaller maps myself. But I garuntee you'll jus see me out there bein' fodder.

If MOB plays any league then have havin' a server with a mix of stock and custom maps is a good idea. As a current Reg and former OGL player I'd scrim. I don't know if the server admin uses HLC RCON, but I ran it on my servers and it's excellent to change config's for matches, scrims etc.

As for maps Barb is prolly currently the best custom map with Kharkov a close 2nd. Ardennes and Vitebisk too big and too foggy, imo.

You have admin/rcon experience Ravyn?

Any server which runs custom maps for base is a good thing, I mean u can found hundreds of servers running those same 4 standard maps.... booriiing.
Maybe u should try and add townassault and gunassault maps to your server and make some kind of map rotation, if it´s not too difficult.

It´s so frustrating to see your barbarossa server full evening after evening, usually with same players, other players don´t have a chance to get in and same time your custom server is empty or down. Wouldn´t be polite to give a room for other players and play that other bas server for a change or is everyone so stats-a-holics to get some kind of name as a "Barbarossa pro"

There´s a matter for everyone to think about it... like my opinion or not

we could always add barb 2 and fwd people like we use to on GF and GF2. I agree that the same 4 maps are all over, everyone runs them. might mix them up, but stick with the custom maps.

Tripwires are always nice

Yes RealDeal I do have previous admin/rcon experience. Wrote my own config files etc.

Regarding the "complaint" about the server always being full, well thats a good thing and I know I usually use the password to allow pubbies a slot.Townassault and Gunassault aren't great maps either.

H8tred tripwires as in AWE mod don't work for BAS. I'm currently developing my own Mod and wanted trips and remote satchels to give BAS a different feel but the gametype doesn't support the scripting.

Hey Ravyn, What do you mean Tripwires dont work with Base??????? I have played base useing tripwires & satchels you could detonate! And i know it was AWE (not sure which version) cuz one guy on the server was complaining about the trip wires killing him everytime he went into the bunker to plant, He started calling the guy a cheater & a hack. They tried telling him it was the AWE mod. But he didnt get it. Anyway my point is that I'm confused by your statment of they cannot be used in BASE, When i have played base using those items within the past 6 months. Can you set me straight here? I must of missed something.

Undertow if you've played BAS with AWE running then I would stand corrected. This would be the 1st time I've ever heard of an AWE server runnin' BAS and I'd be interested in the IP. I tried runnin AWE/BAS on one of my servers without success and I had the latest version and all the correct config's. But your comment that you've played that combination gives me hope for my own work, thx. One last question was it AWE or Platinum or something else?

I think..(don't quote me on this) 3.ss runs AWE/BA with tripwires.

Honestly Ravyn, It was not to long after the 1.51 patch's came out. So i really do not remember the server i was on. I remembered that it was AWE because of the guy that thought it was a hack & someone told him it was AWE. I really dont know which version of AWE, But i thought of one thing last night ...... They were stock maps on the server not custom.... I dont know if that makes a difference. I've been in a few different server's for base that had tripwires & they all had that in common (stock maps).

it was 3.ss i asked him today. they use to run it

Ravyn,

I asked at another forum about this. And i was told its awe extreme. Here is a link one of them gave me too it. http://forums.raidersmerciless.com/modules...6#categorystart

Scroll to the very bottom, its listed there as Extreme Edition RC6 mod. I guess next week thier comming out with an RC7.

New Server Added:

{MOB}'s AWEsome BASE ASSAULT Server 8.9.4.79
Custom/Stock Maps
Map Voting = On
AWE Mod


Go Play!

Real,

I just tried jumping in there 3 times & got this message after every attemp.

MAX_GAMESTATE_CHARS exceeded.

Is this something on my end?

Nope. It was on the server's end. Hopefully it's corrected now...

I've been in a few times, but it's always empty. Lookin' forward to playin' there tho. realdeal, which version of AWE r u runnin'?

Undertow thx for the info and link. I dl'd that mod and it looks interesting enuf.

I cant get on the gunassault map max_gamestate_chars(?)

MAX_GAMESTATE_CHARS error msg has been a plague to modders since the games came out. The modding community in general has been all over the game developers to fix the problem. In laymans terms it means the server is sending to much info. TDM gametype uses the least GAMESTATE_CHARS and BAS the most. That's why many mods don't work with BAS or they(mods) only work with stock maps.

The version of AWE is the latest, 2.12 I believe. We have been having huge problems with the MOD/Custom Maps and Max Gamestate errors. I am think of removing the AWE mod, it's causing a lot of problems, not only with the stock map Foy but most of the custom maps too.

give it a little bit and take off the town assault maps... dont give it up yet... i came up with an idea to get it going a little bit, i will start playing on it now...

I think we should still take AWE off, it's causing too many problems.

well W/E just can we keep the blue smoke? I enjoy the blue... makes me happy.

Blue smoke & pink pills...*wondering about Silveer*

HEREMade some changes, see

blue smoke?

yeah, ya know....blue smoke

Ok Major Punishment mentioned something to me about Blue smoke and Red smoke...you all sure this smoke isnt coming from say something your smoking?

LOL I wish....colored smoke grenades....would be sweet Silver REALLLY wanted/wants blue smoke
