Re: Full BF1942 + DC Install: Updated

thanks Trench. I think that link is not equivalent, unfortunately.

I updated the guidelines above. If someone can try installing from scratch on their machine to confirm that it works I'd appreciate it.

Re: Full BF1942 + DC Install: Updated

This link above is now broken.

Does anyone have any alternative links, or other modifications to these install procedures?

It's very helpful for bringing new players into the game.

Thanks!

Re: Birds of Prey Server Live

Congrats Tona, that sounds like fun for all the BoP vets and great for the wider community. And btw, all the BoP vets are always welcome here! If more users of EA117 clamor for air maps, we would probably end up rolling more air maps ;-)

New Docks CQ looks fun, look forward to playing it. Only fear is that Red could be overpowered. Maybe have Red bleed tickets unless it captures all spawn points?

Re: DC Urban Siege CTF

i've narrowed to two options: Option 1) Blue flag: Docks, either in center, next to Browning, or right above the ladder going into the water Red flag: Downtown Option 2) Blue flag: Tower Red flag: somewhere near Highrise Regardless, definitely need spawn BMP or Stryker or Humvees.

Re: ctf adjustment

Just circling back.

to clarify:

1. it IS feasible to add N points per flag steal. If so, I vote to do this and to make N=2 and see how it goes.

2. it MAY be feasible to accrue M points per player for spawn point captured. Bang can you clarify this?

ctf adjustment

random proposal for feedback. goal is to incentivize increased vigor of gameplay: 1. award 1-3 points for simply stealing, not only capturing the flag on offense 2. award 2-3 points for capturing a spawn point. sounds simple, but in the Thaler / Sunstein "nudge" behavioral economic school ...

Re: DC Urban Siege CTF

new proposal for urban ctf: 1. blue flag: keep at docks but move flag so slightly less exposed. either A. next to browning, between the big crates, closer to front of docks/more south, or B. north, on top of ledge above ladder. for b, this confers option of seaborne capture of the blue flag, which i...

thanks all for the lively discussion. in general, as tempting as it is to talk in terms of broad statements and principles, in practice i find it most productive to speak in specifics. as in, what is it about current maps, and mods of maps, we do or do not like, and what is our constructive feedback...
