Try also 44khz, sound detail High, channels 64, hardware acceleration OFF.
These are mine default ones.

The server is a mess on most mornings/ early daytime. Many teamkills, baseattacks, planezooks etc.

1) Ofcourse, -9 score to kick a player doesn't help, this needs to change to like -4. Two teamkills and you get kicked. Second time should be ban.

2) Also, I think the votekick should be enabled. At least when no admin is playing. Admins can later disable it when they are online. > At least players will be able to do something against trolls without involving in tk's themselves.

#64 Re: Technical Help » Sound issues » 2024-10-18 18:21:57

This means that the problem is not in the game files, and not in the sound equipment you're using.

Try updating the directX on your computer.
Also, check if other apps are running during this time and if yes, try gaming with those apps switched off.

#65 Re: Technical Help » Sound issues » 2024-10-15 18:49:44

In this case this cause it looks like a software issue.

If it's not a hard one, just reinstall the game, just backup of settings bofore deleting. It will take probably 1 hour max but will save you a lot of time on searching for the cause.

#66 Re: Technical Help » Sound issues » 2024-10-15 16:07:02

Which headset are you using?
Problems only in game or other apps?
Have you tried rebooting? Does it help?
Have you tried using another headset?

Kamikaze is allowed. What map were you playing and what was the scene when a player got his warning?

Good point, never knew this. Perhaps needs another patch from uuuz tongue

Nice one. I appreciate the efforts to make it more cinematic, like the low pass under bridge with front cam etc. it has no battle advantage, however it makes the picture much nicer. Sometimes it's these details that make it a lot more enjoyable.
Good kills also btw :]

I am very surprized that you use a non-widescreen for flying. Isn't it like.. the wider the monitor the more objects you can see around you?

Not sure if you're using the patch with colors and all that other stuff. You can mark your gunner a specific color and find him on map quicker, or mark high value gunners and low value gunners different colors. You can see for example if one of those guys is somewhere near the takeoff and request a pickup etc. Or easily see if the fly-by was successful cause the gunner's kill will be a specific color. But if you dont want the lgbt interface that is also understandable.

#71 Re: Technical Help » Sound issues » 2024-10-09 00:20:59

What was the setting and why was it changed? Does the patch do this?

#72 Re: Report Abuse » killer88 admin rights » 2024-10-07 22:01:44

Killer keeps adding time to rounds not rly listening to what other players would like. After asking about more time, despite receiving only 2 replies (yes and no), he added 15 mins.
After I start a vote for a map, he turns the mapvote off lol.
On my asking to turn it back on he ignores me.

This needs resolving.

Have you tried right click and run in compatibility mode? Like windows 7 or xp sp2 >?
Also mark run as administrator.

Was ballbreaking with you. Kind of a type of joke. But if it was offensive to you then I'm sorry. I thought you'd get it.

I dont have problems with you as a person, but as admin - that stuff requires some tweaking.

When admins are lazy or incompetent I will point that out, with a fake nickname or regular.
Noone is "crying". You are just being taught to act like a representative.

2Darcano - plane hoggers spamming to "bail out" deserve that treatment. Also, I think that your public server anonimity statement has no value. You were explained why, and this is only one of the reasons. Was interesting to see which arguments you chose, instead of rephrasing the same sentense. But whatever.

Since I am not an admin and a regular "playa" now, I can afford a tk of the trashbag that shot my plane. I am ready to be kicked for this, no big deal.
I told you to shut up when you were spamming me with "bail out" commands like 5 times in a row. That is annoying.
I get it, you want to fly, but since you are admin now, please show example and don't do bs please.

Playing under fake nicknames sometimes reveals interesting stuff around here.
For example, your "aDmInS" can call player a retard just for taking the airplane.

Also, an important remark.
After I reprimanded him, he comes back and de-anonimizes me by calling me by my regular nickname.

Answer me please - you think this is good for the server?

As you know, it's impossible to change the keyboard layout on windows 11 the regular way.

This is a workaround how to do it.

1) Install AutoHotkey 2.0 software (it's free).
2) Create a new empty script file in it. It should be in .ahk format by default. Put it on desktop.
3) Open it with a text editor, such as notepad++ and put my code and save it.
4) Right click the script on destop and Run as Administrator.
5) Test by pressing Alt+Shift buttons in game, layout should change.

** If you are scared of code you can download my script, instead of creating a new one smile
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z-q9nh … sp=sharing

The code:

#Requires AutoHotkey 2.0
#SingleInstance

; Variable to track the last time the keyboard layout was changed
LastChangeTime := 0

; Function for switching keyboard layout
SwitchKeyboardLayout() {
    global LastChangeTime ; Use the global variable
    CurrentTime := A_TickCount ; Get current time in milliseconds

    ; Check if it has been less than 1000 milliseconds since the last change
    if (CurrentTime - LastChangeTime < 1000) {
        return ; Exit if last change was less than 1 second ago
    }

    ; Update the last change time
    LastChangeTime := CurrentTime

    ; Get the active window
    hwnd := WinGetID("A") ; Get the ID of the active window
    if hwnd {
        ; Switch keyboard layout for the active window
        PostMessage(0x50, 0, 0, , hwnd)
    } else {
        MsgBox("Active window not found!")
    }
}

; Set a timer to check for Alt + Shift key combination
SetTimer(CheckAltShift, 10)

CheckAltShift() {
    static altShiftPressed := false

    ; Check if both Alt and Shift are pressed
    if GetKeyState("LAlt", "P") && GetKeyState("LShift", "P") {
        if !altShiftPressed {
            altShiftPressed := true ; Mark as pressed
            SwitchKeyboardLayout() ; Change keyboard layout
        }
    } else {
        if altShiftPressed {
            altShiftPressed := false ; Reset the flag when released
        }
    }
}

Hi.
I have recently got myself a joystick and wanted to share some settings.
This script is for AutoHotkey 2.0 program that allows automation.

What does it do?

1) Activates/maps hat switch function to mouselook.
The way it works is it determines your screen size and divides these values by 2. For example if your monitor is 1920x1080 it sets the x axis to 1920/2 = 960 and y axis = 1080/2 = 540 (determines middle of the screen or initial position) and when you hold the hat switch it activates the mouse view button (by pressing LShift by default) and moves to certain direction. When you release the hat switch the cursor returns to middle of the screen (initial coordinates 960x540). If you have a bigger monitor, the code will determine the middle of the scree automatically, so it should work on 4k whatever you got there smile

2) Sets individual speeds for cursor movement for up, down, left, right when hat switch is pressed.

3) Parachute function.
Joystick3 button when pressed sends a signal that numpad7 button on keyboard is pressed ( I have it mapped on parachute).

4) Spawn menu/map function.
Joystick4 button when pressed sends a signal that ENTER button on the keyboard is pressed ( opens map/spawn menu). This is useful since when an empty apc is on the map you can check if it's friendly by seing if a spawn point is indicated in it.


Script:

#Requires AutoHotkey 2.0
#SingleInstance

; Set individual movement speeds for each direction of the hat switch
MoveSpeedUp := 0.5
MoveSpeedDown := 0.5
MoveSpeedLeft := 1
MoveSpeedRight := 1

; Automatically determine monitor size and set cursor default position to mid screen
ScreenWidth := SysGet(78)
ScreenHeight := SysGet(79)
MidX := ScreenWidth // 2
MidY := ScreenHeight // 2
IsMoving := false
IsHatSwitchActive := false

; Initial cursor coordinates
CoordX := MidX
CoordY := MidY

Loop 16
    if GetKeyState(A_Index "JoyPOV") = -1 {
        JoystickNumber := A_Index
        break
    }

SetTimer(MouseLook, 2)
SetTimer(CheckJoystickButtons, 1) ; Check joystick buttons every 1 ms
SendMode "Event"

MouseLook() {
    global IsMoving, MidX, MidY, JoystickNumber, IsHatSwitchActive
    global CoordX, CoordY
    global MoveSpeedUp, MoveSpeedDown, MoveSpeedLeft, MoveSpeedRight

    ; Get the current state of the HAT switch
    JoyPOV := GetKeyState(JoystickNumber "JoyPOV")

    ; Check if the HAT switch is neutral (released)
    if JoyPOV = -1 {
        if IsHatSwitchActive {
            if GetKeyState("LShift", "P") {
                Send("{LShift up}")
            }
            IsHatSwitchActive := false
            CoordX := MidX
            CoordY := MidY
            MouseMove(CoordX, CoordY, 1, "R")
        }
        IsMoving := false
        return
    }

    if !IsHatSwitchActive {
        if !GetKeyState("LShift", "P") {
            Send("{LShift down}")
        }
        IsHatSwitchActive := true
    }

    MoveX := 0
    MoveY := 0

    switch JoyPOV {
        case 0:
            MoveY := -MoveSpeedUp
        case 4500:
            MoveX := MoveSpeedRight, MoveY := -MoveSpeedUp
        case 9000:
            MoveX := MoveSpeedRight
        case 13500:
            MoveX := MoveSpeedRight, MoveY := MoveSpeedDown
        case 18000:
            MoveY := MoveSpeedDown
        case 22500:
            MoveX := -MoveSpeedLeft, MoveY := MoveSpeedDown
        case 27000:
            MoveX := -MoveSpeedLeft
        case 31500:
            MoveX := -MoveSpeedLeft, MoveY := -MoveSpeedUp
    }

    if MoveX != 0 || MoveY != 0 {
        CoordX += MoveX
        CoordY += MoveY
        MouseMove(CoordX, CoordY, 1, "R")
        IsMoving := true
    }
}

CheckJoystickButtons() {
    ; Handle button 3 (Numpad7)
    if GetKeyState("Joy3", "P") {
        static isPressed3 := false
        if !isPressed3 {
            Send("{Numpad7 down}") ; Press num7
            isPressed3 := true
        }
    } else {
        static isPressed3 := true
        if isPressed3 {
            Send("{Numpad7 up}") ; Release num7
            isPressed3 := false
        }
    }

    ; Handle button 4 (Enter)
    if GetKeyState("Joy4", "P") {
        static isPressed4 := false
        if !isPressed4 {
            Send("{Enter down}") ; Press Enter
            isPressed4 := true
        }
    } else {
        static isPressed4 := true
        if isPressed4 {
            Send("{Enter up}") ; Release Enter
            isPressed4 := false
        }
    }
}


How to use:
Install AutoHotKey 2.0 program.
Create a new empty script file in it. It should be in .ahk format by default. Put it on desktop.
Open it with a text editor, such as notepad++ and put my code and save it.
Right click the script on destop and Run as Administrator.
Test by pressing joystick buttons, hat switch moves mouse cursor, joy3 is numpad7, joy4 is enter.

* You can edit the script and remap the buttons if needed.
