#1 Re: Feedback » Autobalance teams? » 2019-01-14 09:01:35
I meant to ask about auto team switching and how that works too. Got that answered clear and fast. You want to pay attention to the yellow alert saying teams are uneven. Those who die first get auto switched. I previously thought it was more complicated than that.
Anyone been so instantly switched that you kill your own guys before you notice ? You were just in an intense close up fire fight a sec before. Then you died but got instantly spawned before realizing it. HA! You end up killing your own teammates, lol!
Doesn't happen often with me. Sometimes it does.

I'd forgotten about that. Thanks much. I've always just let the game decide.

I know the results but am unsure how it's accomplished. Is there a command during the game that the server provides players in order to legitimately and honorably change sides so the teams are balanced talent wise? I always thought you had to quit the server and rejoin and see if you end up on the other team. I play on the TGE BF1942 server and see the admins doing a lot of kicking of players because they are accused of team stacking. Is there a command that players use to change teams during the game, instead of quitting and rejoining?

TGE copied the rules etc from Simple. TGE used to be know as Simple USA a year or so ago but now they are not connected.
Thanks much for clearing that up. I knew I wasn't going totally strange. I'll check out and play on Simple BF1942 if the pings are half decent for a west coast USA joiner. On TGE, I get like 15ms ping which is kinda sweeeet. Heh, to tell you the truth, I thought I WAS playing on your guys server, lol.

For what its worth TGE forums can be found here :
http://usa-bf1942.proboards.com/
But the servers are far from the same but you are welcome of course to stick around and have some fun here at Simple
Rule wise, they are very similar. IE: No bombing an uncappable enemy base with a B17.
Heh, the unban request section sounds similar to TGE too.

The server location is settle, for the foreigh laguages my past experince whit feedback is even if we do the bacon dance or cry wont change anything. The game is old so they tolarate it, I just continue to respect the majority and try to have fun.
I mistakenly thought that Simple BF1942 and The Great Escape-USA were connected and changed their name. Bookmark error, lol.
I've not connected to a Simple BF1942 server recently, but the rules seem pretty much the same. I thought Simple and The Great Escape server were the same. Silly me. Is inane chit-chat annoying in any language?
I say if you want to constantly "chat nothings" while a match is going on, take it to a motel, heh.
Can I stay here He he he? I thought I was in The Great Escape BF1942 forums here, and, that they were as one. Similar Rules.
#7 Re: Feedback » Simple USA server. Is this an English language server or not? » 2018-08-01 12:03:44
My bad then. I play on The Great Escape USA BF1942 server and thought TGE and Simple became the same.
Excuse my ignorance. That being said: It doesn't excuse the behavior of some Europeans joining a BF1942 based in the USA where it's preferred you type in English (unless it's a critical question being asked) and then proceeding to spam the server with anything other than English for the entire map. I'm not against someone from outside the USA joining TGE in the USA and having to type a critical question in your native language that others who speak the same language might reply to help. These players came into the TGE USA server from Europe and proceeded to have a chat room session non-stop, in their native language. That's uncool in general, if you ask me.
Again, my apologies to the Simple BF1942 community.
#8 Re: Feedback » Simple USA server. Is this an English language server or not? » 2018-08-01 00:08:17
First of all, it's a USA based server, not a European server. Anyone miss that part? Yes. Second of all, 5 or 6 of them practically crashed the USA server in that they kept spamming chit chat continually amongst themselves. Third of all, when this happens there are reminders in yellow type reminding that this is a USA server and to please type in English. I left (no admin was playing) and rejoined and either they left or were booted by an admin who joined. It was annoying as hell. I know they had the capability to type in English because they did when I asked them to stop spamming their inane chit chat. They did it to be TOTAL ASSHATS nothing less. Noone got that part.
Also, ANY freaking server is an "international server" , in that, if you have an internet connection you can join it.
Funny reply razor.

Then why do you let 5 or 6 guys spam the chat in a foriegn language the entire game?
WTF happened to in game reminders that this is a USA server and to type in english? huh?
Don't give me this cultural diversity bullshit. They chit chat spam all game long in Spanish or some foriegn language.
If they want to spam the game in their language, let them go to an outside the USA server.
Or has the policy changed recently? Out of 17 players, 7 or 8 of them joined and spammed the server in their language, continually ad nausem. It was mindless chit chat too.

Not even by 20 seconds or so on some maps? The respawn vehicle timing set by this server seems no different to that of respawn times when the game was new and the year was 2004 and it was 32/32 all the time. Those days are gone It's especially noticeable now on some maps like MG and even Battleaxe and Bocage. It ends up being a long haul , too long for 2018 and dwindling player participation. A shortened vehicle spawn time on some maps would help some maps being slow play.

Another USA based BF19412 server has admins who rarely show up to deal with misfits, except during peak times or when they feel like it. I've seen TS admins present and able to kick misfits at 2:00 AM PST. That other server? Forget about it.

It has the engineer class. I wasn't getting killed by pancakes. mmmm, pancakes.

Okay. Some really specialize in engineer and expacks. It's their go to class of player.

Last night 4-5-18, a new player to the server was using only expacks and really spamming them on Berlin Conquest map. He'd drop expacks out the window at a flag, kill 4, then get to an ammo box , resupply and continue doing that all game long. I can't recall his nick exactly but it had an H and a B (first and last name). It was something like Hank_Baum or something like that.
#15 Re: Report Abuse » Spawning new and instantly seen as having TK'ed » 2018-03-22 06:45:59
I think that I know what is happening maybe. If an allied vehicle blew up in axis main, it will disappear but remain there invisible. If that is on a spawn place and you spawn there you will be killed. But then more people who also spawn there would be killed as well, and you would be have much luck to spawn each time on that place...

Bingo! Thanks for me not having to explain further to all what happened using children's building blocks and diagrams.
I got respawned rather quickly after the first instant spawn death, only to have it happen again by happenstance, therefore I died instantly again, along with some other teammate.
My score got to -7 very quickly because I had just joined the match. I got auto kicked. You can see why I wondered wtf is going on? I thought is was a hack or something. I'd never experienced this before in 15 years playing.
#16 Re: Report Abuse » Spawning new and instantly seen as having TK'ed » 2018-03-16 18:49:13
I die. Get spawned..instantly die as having TK'd someone, spawn again and the same thing happens until I get so many neg kills upon spawning that I'm kicked in about a minute. Dig?

It repeats upon spawning until I am kicked for negative score. Obviously a hack?
#18 Re: News and Announcements » Moving to Paris » 2018-03-02 21:20:13
I wonder how I can be on the southwest coast USA and the server in Paris and I'm getting under 20 ms pings? I'd expect more like 145 ms or something. I figured with such low pings the server was located in Phoenix , Arizona or something.
#19 Re: Technical Help » BF1942 config files editing - for a couple of annoyances » 2018-03-02 03:29:18
Sorry to report this did not work. I located that Controls folder However, there is no CONTROLS file by itself. That folder opens up to AIR, COMMON, INFRANTRY and LAND files. Each of these when opened has their own line of script as you described. I only edited the COMMON file in the Controls folder. I wonder if I have to edit the 3 others or what. Not really worth bothering with at this point.
As for the radio icons, I believe I was able to bring down the console long ago and type in a command to get rid of them at the start of each game or map (I forget). It's faster just to hit the F8 key at each map startup, but still a minor annoyance.

New joiner here:
Is it possible to edit the game's config files without being rejected by the game because it's been altered? Two things I'd like to alter. First of all, I keep hitting the tilde key(~) by accident when hastily going for the 1 key (which is right next to it). There's no "Options" to reassign the tilde key. Second annoyance is I'd like not to have to hit the F8 key each map start to remove the radio speak command icons at the top of the HUD. Both these will require editing a config file somewhere in the BF1942 directory. If this is possible (without the game rejecting it), please be specific as to which file to edit and the location. P.S. I don't want to have to bring down the console and type in a command each and everytime to accomplish this.
