Rule n°11 : Ban joint forever from the server, if he chooses the other team than mine wink

bud wrote:

yes i agree, in a df server it should be all about flying, not having to worry about baserapeing and such.

Air-spawn allows baseraping. It's a fact. Besides it doesn't allow players to choose their planes.



No I disagree with air-spawn : I understand what you said, tuia, about air-spawn. But it doesn't allow players to choose their plane.
Imagine yourself. You're new on a server, you have 10 spawn points that you can choose. You don't know which one is linked with which plane. You just want the bf109. You spawn, it gives you the Corsair. You decide to bail and die. Then you choose another point, it gives you the SBD. Will you do it until it gives you the bf109 ? A lot will be fed up.

I think the mod in BoB is good. But add death bubbles around (over) the main bases. After all, dogfights have to be in the middle of the map, not close to the main bases... If you hunt enemies too close from their main bases, then it's understandable they come back to main to repair (loss of height and speed). That's a deal... If you really want to hunt, then wait that they got height enough, and way enough, from base, to attack them. That is the perfect deal to avoid baserapers...

No death bubble would mean that you allow to kill in "grey zones" of the rules : When a player just took off, then you can kill him without being considered as a baseraper...
If you build a dogfight server, please avoid us having to argue about the grey zones of baseraping.

Guys, I made the topic, I announced some rules that were good for a dogfight server (avoid the rules about nameless and joint that were joke, ofc). Do a server just as I told, and then we'll speak about what has to be changed. Please trust me. Do it as I said, and let's have a try.

when you almost shot the enemy, he just flies over the runway and it helps him to get 100 hit points again

If YOU are not able to kill a plane before it reaches its main base, then... Learn to fly, or it means you are a bit too close from its main base... XD
I'm kidding nameless wink

The air plane spawn would be much more preferable for this server.

Sorry nameless, you're much more experienced than me in dogfight as far as I know, but we're speaking about trolls and baserapers.
Making air-spawn planes would give an easy target to baserapers. And there won't always be admins around, so I think that air-spawn is a very bad idea. And besides, air-spawn planes can easily be confused with driven planes.

And even besides, I maintain that making air-spawn planes won't let players choose their plane. It's not in the interest of players and I invite you, and tuia, to reconsider this option.

Removing aa from the base would just end up in noobs raping the base. There should always be an admin online then...

+1 but we have to consider the bailing malus as well : bailing from AA would make the same as bailing from a plane... Or it can be modded too ?
I agree with AA in main bases, but if the problem I quoted remains, then we'll have to make death bubbles around main bases.

tuia wrote:

How to make it no base attack without death bubbles? Unless you put some repair bubbles in airfields, that prevent planes from being destroyed in airfield runway.
I think best alternative is to spawn planes high in the air, and have some 3 or 4 spawns you can choose to start with a fighter or bomber plane.

Repair bubbles don't prevent from base attacks in usual Battle of Britain...
Personnally, I prefer choosing the plane I want to ride in. Keep planes on the ground. Give each team 3 or 4 flaks that can't aim planes, make them "bailable", and everything will be fine. Everyone can choose his plane, Make of it a pure DF server... It's easy, just follow the steps I wrote above.

#34 Re: Feedback » Dogfight a lot » 2014-10-23 19:57:15

I thought about it, but I think it would ruin the charms of flying... Besides I'm not sure it would be easy to choose the plane you want : You select a spawn point, but it will give you a random plane if you don't know where exactly to spawn.

The aim is to have the choice between all kinds of planes, even bombers (except B17 and JU88A -and even, why not-). If someone wants only hunters and spawn wrong in a bomber... it's a shame...

#35 Re: Feedback » Dogfight a lot » 2014-10-22 20:56:04

I understand SSM, but I thought you were speaking about a new map. If it's a classic map, then no problem. But I still believe that overall condition for a good "special dogfight map" are :

1. (to Telrin) The aim is not to have 60 players on the server, so if it's not very popular, it's better.
2. Flaks, ok in the main bases. No runway in range (always trolls). No vehicle, no flak, nothing anywhere else. 3 or 4 flaks a base would be ok.
3. Large death bubbles around the runways.
4. Completely disable parachute (I know it's possible in bf2, I don't know for bf1942). Instant death at bail (Score malus wouldn't prevent from trolls)
5. All planes on each side, it will avoid teamstackers who prefer allied or axis planes.
6. Maybe limit the number of players to 30 or 40 (let us see the sky)
7. Mod soldier weapons with only wrenches.
8. Any map you choose, please make it TDM.
9. There must be a hangar (or at least a way to repair a plane without bailing). Auto-repair runways ?
10. Make something, Nameless to die every 10 kills big_smile

I made it as a custom map long time ago so it needs to be "converted" to SSM.

Having read all that people said (even what Telrin said tongue ) I would suggest :

Calm down both please. Nameless, quoting YourMother was not right. The problem is reported, tuia will check it himself, I think.

Btw, just a question : YourMother = Yoda, right ?
I ask because yesterday, a player whose nick was "Yoda" told me that he lost his admin rights, and asked me to kick a player who (looking at stats) didn't seem to act bad.
Since I was not sure, I decided not to kick... If I kick players every time that any player asks me to, the server will get empty quickly...

Just wanna be sure it's you.

But the fact that you still answer with some troll attitude shows that you don't make a difference between topics. In fact, you're just trolling for nothing and I bet you'd admin as well if you had admin rights.

That's the difference between children and adults : Children look at "who says what". Adults look at "what is said".

Hi all,

Some monthes ago, TeamSimple opened a specific "tank" server. Called "Tanks a lot". It was a great idea, offering to people to train in tank fighting.

I wondered if it would be possible, and interesting, to create a "dogfight" server. As "Tanks a lot" runs Aberdeen in a loop, there's a choice for the dogfight server :

-Coral Sea, the classic one, could be modded with "autorepair" carriers
-Gazala TDM, modded without land vehicles/flaks...

I think the choice of Gazala is interesting because of the fog -further than in Coral- and hangars allow to land and repair. Besides it's a wide map with a lot of relief, that may always be interesting for dogfighters...

Anyway, planes could be :
**********************
:: bf109 / Zero / yak9 - Axis
:: Corsair / Mustang / Spitfire - Allies

Could also be a way for dogfighters to avoid trolls in overall maps.

Waiting for answers.

Hi mates I don't know how to report it, but... I've noticed there's always a lot of trolls on the map Kharkov. It's not especially about one or another player, but I noticed that there were more tks, more sfv, more baseattacks, more disruptive behaviours on that map.

I wonder if some of you noticed the same and I'd ask what we can do to avoid this... ?

#47 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Request by Sam-I-Am to be reinstated for game play » 2014-10-02 23:49:08

Anyway all of this may be called. Horror or litterature.

All of what happened, under nazism, under stalinism, under the Queen Victoria, under Margaret Thatcher... Anyway we can't compare them.
No worse, no better. No worst, no best. Only human beast.

We may quote the Hutu and Tutsi in Rwanda, we may quote Hirohito and japanese technics of torture, we may quote the crusades, we may quote the jihads, we may quote Israelians and Palestinians, we may quote 09/11, we may quote Putin and Chechnya, we may quote Bush and Iraq, we may quote Guantanamo, we may quote Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we may quote genocides during the conquest of America...
We may quote human sacrifices for religion, the Falklands, Hunger strikes in Ireland, massacres in Serbia, Romans and Christians, Egyptians and Jews, France and Algeria... The list is long. The list will probably never end.

All in all, all of this is just History and mankind have only one solution : Take lessons and try to make the world better. Some will call it easy, the hardest is not to revenge, the hardest is to forgive and to learn to live together.

Just shake hands with your enemies and forget the past. Feed the hungry man. Give water to the thirsty man. Provide a shelter to the naked man.

All of racism, hate, fear, are only the will of people not to live together.
Dividing to rule.
I think that every name should be allowed. After all, it's the liberty of expression. Someone can use "Adolf Hitler" as a nick, I don't mind, if he doesn't impose to me his opinions else than through a real democracy. I don't mind he says what he wants, while he doesn't offense people.

One of the most important rules in the server is : No politics, please. You may have a parliament, you may have elections, you may have a country. That's the place to express yourself and to give your opinion.

Heal the world.

I used the "!rules" ; "!wbase" command first. His english level seems good enough to understand the BFSM message, which one is clear enough.

He still attacked the main base.

I kicked him.

He still attacked the main base.

The fact he reports the problem shows that he knew the forum, he should have read the rules.

Banning, whatever the reason is, can't be described as "too strict". You can't know whether it's a troll or a new player.
