mate, thank you for that.  ill run it in another server soon. im seeing alot of mods that were used in the demo  ( wake)

i started modding around 2005. lots of patches made, dos flooding attack patches etc...  im too used to the demo modding, so much easier, lol.

this  42 full game  is a endless sea of maps and mods.  i had submarine tanks, teleporters, APC ejector seats  whole heap of goodies. so much fun.  great people to.

i run my maps using COOP, much more fun with bots, but at the same time, would love to use all the kit, subs and the such in conquest maps. henk gave me the coding for bots in conquest, but i must be doing something wrong, lol

ill keep at it..   noticing too, the lack of players.  all over.   shame really.

i just found out, that i cannot run two servers on the same pc, because it wipes out gametracker stats on players..  wont be doing that again..

server was down to 19, and i ran the second server from same pc, wiped out the scores and pushed it back to 100..

so much different to modding the demo, basic stuff is still teh same.

i get to the point of modding all day, till i start to make mistakes, then i give it a rest..

having bots in game is fun.. i opened up with 64 slots, and just 24 bots..  to run conquest, with no bots, and due to lack of players.. bit boring.

but ill look at those mods sir, and run them later for sure

thanks again, for taking the time to reply..

cheers  Grrr

thanks for reply..

from what i see and read.. its says there's no AI for the bots in conquest. 

went to add coding for subs, in Midway COOP, and it shut the server down.

something about no AI, for bots to use the sub. no coding for them to use it if they get in it.

would have been easy to mod the Conquest folder, instead of the COOP folder.

im using all COOP  maps to mod.  prefer to have bots in game..

but thanks you for your reply. 

mate, your a star.  that will save me so much time.  i had it years ago, demo days, but been so long since i used it.

already shifted vehicles around, now i can add some.  thank you very much for your reply.

you saved the day

cheers  Grrr

followed your advise, and found the COOP maps are controlled through the single player..  modded two maps already.

working fine, my thanks again. so now its just sitting down and adjusting the maps. 

my thanks again.   

hey, thanks for your time.. did all that,  used battleaxe  ctf

changed the spawn times, that works.  used it on the tiger tanks, moved one, and another  other tiger tank appeared. once i blew the tank up, another showed straight away. but it has to be blown up. wont show, after been taken from spot.

  so got the spawn timing down. 

but i know there is code there for once one tank is gone, another will appear straight away.   i mainly use the COOP maps, with bots.

not sure which folder i go to to adjust the stuff in there for COOP.   almost got enough info to go forward alot more.

just that COOP folder..    the code

" in conquest/ObjectSpawnTemplates.con
or ctf/ObjectSpawnTemplates.con
or other game-modes

set the spawn time to 0:
ObjectTemplate.MinSpawnDelay 0
ObjectTemplate.MaxSpawnDelay 0

worked great, just once one is moved, another wont show

and i shoved this in too.

and set the number very high (maybe -1 will also work, which means unlimited in some cases)
objectTemplate.maxNrOfObjectSpawned 9999

no go.  just wanted to know, the folder that COOP uses for its settings and spawns.

ill keep going all day today, ( Australia)  see if i can  sniff this folder out.

getting there slowly..  but your help has been great..

spot on mate. had server going, on one pc, also played from installed game on same, then used a laptop, different ip totally from server, joined with that and boom, game restarted.

have to cut the number of bots down, and add stuff in, extra planes, tanks etc...  and also adjusting the time, they respawn. but same issue, i find the file, extract, adjust, its the getting it back in the game that is the drama..lol

im to used to modding the demo 42. this is new.  was starting with something simple, changing bot names to funny ones,  not to mention, i haven't done this for years...

its just the  process of doing this is different to me.   even adding that line,  " game.setMinNrOfPlayers 0 " would be the same, doesn't seem to save, and when i add say, german names back in, it has a little asterisk in front of it.

other name files, show data in them. the German one i change doesn't show any data.   wont save is what i guess.

i suppose once i find out how that works, ill be adding things by the heaps.. but again, my many thanks for your help.

very smart people..   

cheers.

MATE YOU GUYS ARE GREAT.  i have the server running on its own, and 42 installed on same pc. thought it was something to do with me, on the same machine.  lol..

every time, i went in, the bots had half the place captured, and all the vehicles gone..  might start using a separate pc, and leave the server one alone.

tried running  2 servers on the same pc, one installed, one running from a box. game tracker kept on getting the two confused, names and scores.

and BFSM didnt like to run two of, on the same machine either..  yet it will let me use the ded.exe .

modding and changing stuff on the full game, is alot different than the old demo.

still trying to extract the rfa and .con files to no avail.  harder process than the old demo.

but once again, i do thank you guys for your help.   

ive been watching EA games, ON THE WAR PATH. sacking people and dropping server support.

shame that EA did not keep 42 going more, they would have made a heap of us.. 

ive noticed the number of players is dropping off,  sad.. 

have a great day or night, where ever you are

well, re installed server.  this time i used the  BFSM  v2.01

and it works. full admin, messages in game, banned words... etc.

seems the v2.01  is the one..  thanks again ,for your help.

admin as admin yes. or admin as compatibility ?

mate, thanks for reply. i had found that coding, and the file for it to go to.

last time i changed a name of bot, server shut down ,lol.. had to redo another server.

that code, i think has to go in each map we use.  last time i did coding and the such, was the demo days. bit rusty..

such a great game.  i will get around to adjusting server mods and maps..

but 40 bots in game is a bit much..  but again. i thank your for your help.

cheers..  Grrr

thanks for reply...

ha ha.. yes mate  i think i finally got it, lol..  shows in master list, wow, now i remembered it was fun doing this and modding when the demo was going.

checked master server with  a player in and out. shows all.

and im very sure now, its in the main list.

and its all thanks to you guys.  could not be happier.  took a while, but done.

i love this old game, so much fun back in the days and now.

please , let me say, that i thank you all, for your help, very very much appreciated. 

dear mr hillbilly.  i thank you for your reply and little test.. outstanding. thank you for taking the time to look,

its got me beat,lol.  everything set up correct.  i run a  TP LINK   Archer AX10   ROUTER,  ports forwarded and so on.

it does keep playing even when i go in and test it. just cannot seem to get it to show on the main list..  no doubt its probably a setting or something.  had the same thing, when the demo was going. running a server and getting the ports right.  i think we used a modem back then. i modded the wake island map real good. took alot of time, and had loads of fun. great people.

im pleased that you could get in.  just have to nut out why it wont show on main list..

such a great game, runs on anything. wish that gamespy kept the list going, they could have made lots of $$$$ renting out servers.

oh well.  im pleased its back up and running.  and once again, i thank you for taking the time to do a test. very kind of you
