oo para oo 13 Posted July 21, 2012 I have recently started a new server running Patrol Ops. Now I have been in servers before where players are restricted until they rank up. My server seems to be a playground for idiots. They come in take the helos and a10;s crash them shoot stuff and leave. Is there anyway to stop this happening? I am new to being an admin of a server so any help would be very appreciated. Server is ' The Yorkshire Puddings - Puds on Patrol' Thanks in advance. Andy.

iOGC_Aenigma 1 Posted July 24, 2012 The version of Patrol Ops I am running on our server has the option to restrict equipment by rank and class. I cant remember if it is like that in vanilla patrol ops but if you want the .pbo file you are welcome to edit all the iOGC content out and use it mate. It runs sweet as a nut as Rob over at 3Para did a lot of work on it before I got stuck in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oo para oo 13 Posted July 24, 2012 Thanks that would be brilliant. Not sure how to edit so I would probably leave it as you supply it too me :) thanks v much for the offer. Is the BAF version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lokyi 10 Posted July 25, 2012 Sounds a bit like the Arma1 Domi port when Arma2 first came out... It ain't Battlefield people. First thing people would do was run straight for the choppers and bugger off expecting them to "just respawn". Fscking Battlefield mentality. Fortunately I don't play either Domination or Warfare at all anymore, so I'm not likely to be pulling my hair out for the same issues. Ranking is basically the only way to do it, apart from having dedicated pilot/crew slots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wulvgar 1 Posted July 26, 2012 Are there simple mods just to add ranking system ? Patrol ops changes the whole game I'm new to hosting a linux arma2 server and trying keep newbies in check :) Things like auto kick player for player killing and need rank to fly helos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oo para oo 13 Posted July 26, 2012 A strange problem we have is, we complete the domination town, radio tower blown up, capture points complete area goes green. We get the trumpet to say we have done it and we get the award such as humvee ect. BUT... It never moves on to the next town, any ideas why this is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Additionally offer TS3, anyone who doesn´t wanna get on is probably not worth taking special care of either. We recently had a newbie spike on our playground, playing domination, and it soon went to a point where i had to stand guard at base instead of playing the game.. Now in Domination you have to option to "admin lock" vehicles, that works pretty well. You´re going to get asked alot why they cannot enter but that´s the lesser evil compared to ban anyone on sight, it´ll effectively reduce your admin duties to only ban the douches who go AT´ing your fully loaded CH-47 because they feel butthurt. It never moves on to the next town, any ideas why this is? Nope... not happened in Domination 1.59 nor 1.61, both recently played and maint targets cleared successfully.

oo para oo 13 Posted July 26, 2012 I have logged in as admin and locked them, but people seem to be able to just unlock them. You mean in game where I walk upto a vehicle and press lock vehicle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr burns 132 Posted July 26, 2012 Exactly. And nobody was able to unlock them when i tried it the other evening. Dont know though what happens when locked vehicles get destroyed, if the newly spawned ones are unlocked again that would be the answer why it seemed to not work for you.

oo para oo 13 Posted July 26, 2012 does it stay locked even if the admin leaves the game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check to make sure that there are no errors in your Coordinates for the MT Missions. I have logged in as admin and locked them, but people seem to be able to just unlock them.You mean in game where I walk upto a vehicle and press lock vehicle? If you want them to stay locked, lock them in the editor. Then unless the admin unlocks them in game, they will stay locked.
