Berlin CTF has almost no changes, it isn't suitable for many players. I will change Guadalcanal to conquest mode.

#3603 Re: News and Announcements » 84 players slots this weekend » 2012-06-30 16:34:15

Sorry, server is down. Something happened with server's provider (OVH) network. This may take some time, please, be patient.

#3604 Re: News and Announcements » 84 players slots this weekend » 2012-06-30 16:10:30

There are some other BF1942 servers breaking the records today. I've seen PrinceUmeboshi.jpn FHSW042 server having 80 players constantly, and there is also another server in Japan trying to reach 128 players. smile

#3606 Re: Feedback » sniper » 2012-06-30 16:03:05

Yes, it's possible, but I don't like the idea 1 shot-kill. I know some of those servers, you can only select sniper kit.

#3607 Re: Feedback » suggestion about disable grenades » 2012-06-30 15:47:04

I don't think it's possible to have only one grenade. Modifying the tank material isn't a wise option.
We have tested before Omaha Beach with no tanks and no defguns.

#3608 Re: News and Announcements » 84 players slots this weekend » 2012-06-30 15:32:07

BFSM wasn't running so the commands didn't work. When the server crashed it didn't restart, because BFSM was down.
Battleaxe will be removed from map rotation. I've changed Stalingrad CQ to no grenades and no tanks and in Berlin CQ the germans start with only their main base, so the russians have some space at the beginning. Please, try the new Stalingrad CQ and Berlin CQ.

#3609 Re: Feedback » TeamSpeak » 2012-06-30 12:31:24

You must ask your friends to join you in our Mumble server, if you don't, you will feel very lonely there. wink

#3610 Re: Feedback » suggestion about disable grenades » 2012-06-30 10:55:07

Hmm... if grenades were disabled in Omaha Beach, tanks and APC would be a lot harder to destroy. Currently on Omaha Beach, to lower grenade and exppack spamming you can't reload grenades neither exppacks from the ammo boxes. Omaha Beach is a difficult map for Allies if they can't cap the Wall flag. If you have other suggestions for Omaha Beach, please do so, but explain how would you deal without grenades and exppacks against the tanks, unless you removed all tanks from the map.

#3611 Re: Feedback » Friendly fire » 2012-06-30 10:29:52

Hi HoOK,

With friendly fire on, one can't play, as before, shooting every moving target and throwing grenades like crazy. It requires more attention and skill.
If someone is wounding you on purpose, report him to an admin in the server.

#3612 Re: News and Announcements » 84 players slots this weekend » 2012-06-30 10:24:36

84 players slots running today and tomorrow. Some maps were changed to account for more players and I will try to finish some maps yet, like Wake and Iwo Jima.

#3613 Re: Server Ban Appeals » volkankeskin banned? » 2012-06-29 22:23:55

It takes some modesty to truly understand your mistakes and learn from your mistakes, I praise that. I will give you another chance, but please don't let us down and even your team members. I ask that you read again our server rules, as our rules are a bit different from most public servers, like RusBF.ru, Netorn and BF1942.ru servers. Main difference is that attacking enemy main base (baseraping or basebombing) is not allowed, unless it's CTF map or Battle of Britain map. Baseraping is strictly forbidden, because it's all about fair play.
I also suggest that you change your player name as gothica or blueboy has a bad reputation. Please, note that i will keep an eye on you and hope that you won't disappoint our trust in you.

A highly recommended read, the author has some very interesting ideas. You can read it easily, it's around 50 pages. Download the pdf file from here: Freeing Growth: The Neo-Capitalist Manifesto.
Some quotes to tease you:

We believe that in order to free growth, we must embrace the following philosophy, principles and worldview:

  1. We are borne into slavery: the bonds of ignorance and irresponsibility. Ignorance stems from unfulfilled ability. Irresponsibility stems from not understanding the consequences of exercising capability. Freedom can ONLY be gained from depth of understanding and skill giving forth to capability. Responsibility can ONLY be gained from understanding capability, therefore true freedom can only be responsible freedom.

  2. Self-improvement can ONLY come from within through love, perseverance and creativity. It can be aided, encouraged or cajoled from outside, but like love it can never be externally imposed without permission. An optimally growing society equals every single citizen growing at their optimal rate which can ONLY be achieved by each citizen and each group having the freedom to self-determine their improvement, and to reap the consequences of that which they sow.

#3615 Re: Feedback » Kickback » 2012-06-29 20:10:52

15% reflected damage is a low value, it won't punish at all fair players. I agree that kickback may not be desirable, but this is just a testing. If most disagree with it, it will be removed.

#3616 Re: BF1942 Discussion » Battlefield 1942 for free (Petition) » 2012-06-29 18:49:56

That is the problem, it's not easy to find a legal BF1942 copy nowadays. I know EA Games have a store called Origin, where you can pay and download fast and safely any recent game published by them. They should have Battlefield 1942 at a low price there, or even better, for free.

#3617 Re: Feedback » Kickback » 2012-06-29 18:25:08

Kickback set to 15%. Let me know, if it should be increased.

#3618 Re: Server Ban Appeals » volkankeskin banned? » 2012-06-29 18:20:19

Hi volkankeskin,

I'm sorry to tell you, but you are banned from the server. We have evidence that you used cheats, and rules clearly state that anyone using cheats will be permanently banned.

#3619 Re: Report Abuse » Gacego.pl and i have no name - two guys!!! » 2012-06-29 15:14:14

That Gacego.PL player doesn't learn the rules, or doesn't want to. He will be banned for some time.

#3620 Re: Report Abuse » Request ban romBick » 2012-06-29 15:12:32

I will see that, right away.

#3621 Re: News and Announcements » 84 players slots this weekend » 2012-06-29 15:11:52

Ok, you're welcome. I don't think it will be that harsh, there are sometimes 2 or 3 disrespectful players in the server, but most understand their mistakes after a warning or a kick.
I will contact you later.

#3622 Re: BF1942 Discussion » Battlefield 1942 for free (Petition) » 2012-06-29 15:09:35

Yes, that would be great if Battlefield 1942 was free. Some popular first person shooter games like Team Fortress 2, Arma 2 and Quake Live are free.

#3623 Re: News and Announcements » 84 players slots this weekend » 2012-06-29 09:21:12

Tomorrow the server will have 84 slots and some revised maps. Couldn't patch it BFSM to support over 64 players, we may have to admin it the classic way in the console: admin.execremotecommand "admin.kickPlayer 81" smile

#3624 Re: Videos and Screenshots » High Scores » 2012-06-28 23:45:44

And you only got killed twice?! Pretty weak opposition then. tongue

#3625 Re: Videos and Screenshots » High Scores » 2012-06-28 22:56:19

Nice score! Let me guess, you were driving the Tiger? wink

#3626 Re: Videos and Screenshots » Graphic Glitch... oO » 2012-06-28 15:30:58

Yes, you can change some settings in-game in Options > Video, but you can't change the mipmap bias default value, you have to edit VideoDefault.con file.

#3627 Re: Videos and Screenshots » Graphic Glitch... oO » 2012-06-28 10:17:24

I think you need to reinstall the game, dary, you may have some corrupt files in your Battlefield 1942 folder.

#3628 Re: Videos and Screenshots » Graphic Glitch... oO » 2012-06-28 10:13:06

While playing BF1942, Alt+Tab out of the game and open your VideoDefault.con file in C:Program FilesEA GamesBattlefield 1942Modsf1942Settings. Append this line renderer.mipmapbias 14 and save it. Now Alt+Tab into the game and press Esc, to go to the menu, press Esc again to go back into the game and you'll see the results.

Have you already updated your graphic card drivers, dary?
Denny, I know a tweak to make BF1942 graphics look ugly and more blocky, not as bad as dary screenshot's, though. smile
