Map Updates, Please Read

Post by BoOn »

The following is a list of map updates.

CTF Al Nas: Vehicles are placed more neatly
: Spawnpoints have been modified
: Out of bounds has been changed, you can no longer drive along the outside of the East/West buildings. The area across the coalition river is now out of bounds aswell as half their bridge.
: Stryker has been removed

DC CQ El Alamein : Fixed the coalition mains deathbubble to exclude the oppositions pickup truck carbomb, wreckage will not remain in the deathbubble for the remainder of the round now.

DC CQ Liberation of Caen: South river spawnpoint starts of neutral
: Deathbubble added to coalition main

On El AL the pickup was deliberately excluded as blue only has one themselves.

When you reduce the flag zone server side doesn't the flag icon show on the client even though where they stand won't ever turn it gray (in the difference between the original radius and the modded one)?

Coalition has only the lada carbomb, whereas Opposition has both the lada and pickup carbomb, the Coalition deathbubble code included the pickup truck so when the pickup was killed by the deathbubble the wreckage would stay for the remainder of round.

And correct about the flag icon, it will still show on the clientside while in the default flag area.

That happens with any vehicle the death bubble kills, yes? We either give blue the same number of car bombs or leave it the way it was.

No good. We've rejected that mod before on Tobruk (I think) since the client side GUI reflects bad information.

I didnt change how many carbombs each team had, The issue was that the technical was included in the coalition bubble code. All I was doing was cleaning up what appeared to be a honest oversight in the coding causing the opposition technical wreckage to remain. As to my knowledge coalition has only ever had 1 carbomb (lada) and opposition had 2 (lada/technical).

Understood, I mentioned the idea to Spec and he approved to change it. Since the skyflag in Bocage Day 2 has a altered flag grab area that also reflects bad information, I assumed that wouldnt have been a issue.

I wasn't aware of that it would still appear on the client side to other players while in the default flag area.

This make sense now as to why leave it as is. I would find myself holding a flag for decades and wondering why it would change.

Sorry, I should have been more clear - they should have the same number of carbombs that are unaffected by the bubble.

I wasn't aware of that - perhaps it isn't as noticeable when you're in the air vs. when infantry is crouched in the corner of a building right tat the edge of the radius. I totally agree with the idea, I hate one guy hiding in a building preventing the capture of a flag but at the same time I'm sure you understand we typically have to plan for the lowest common denominator.

Swanny ... here is what caused the carbomb question to come up after a few successful runs with the carbomb(truck) the blue planes could not take off.

And I am no coder but I dont see how that is going to change to problem. If you are saying by giving blue another lada that will cause the wreckage to disappear than great if not .... the problem will still exist. ;)

And just to make sure everyone is on the same page ... Lets say the carbomb(truck) is able to make it to the blue main on the first run say within the first minute ... THAT wreckage would remain there for the ENTIRE round .. and that could be the remaining 59 minutes which in turn would make it impossible for some of the blue planes to take off. That is the main issue not the amount of carbombs that red has vs blue ;) Clear as mud :?:
