Turn Based War

[icebone 9]

Turn Based Everon War is a set of 3 parties capture and hold missions across Everon.

Turn based in this context means, that the result (captured flags) of the previous turn influences the situation for the following turns.

Each turn takes 45 minutes. It will be created automatically after the previous turn has been finished.

If the server is online, then there is a strategic map showing the progress of the 3 parties on Everon.

Turn Based Everon War offers slots for 28 players, 8 East versus 8 Resistance versus 12 West.

East and Resistance forces start offshore from their bases on small islands SW and NE of Everon.

West established a base on Everon and has captured the flag(s) already at the beginning of each turn.

During each turn there are between 1 to 4 C&H flags.

More info coming soon.

Where & when to play Turn Based Everon War:

Type "Turn Based War" into the OFP Gamespy filter. We start the server round about 08.30 p.m. GMT +01.00.

Public players are always welcome on West slots.

Get ready for action & cu soon on Everon

Interesting.. Does that strategic map site work?

If not.. have a look at the other ideas section of this

It'll only work if your server is running Windows (I suppose you could run it on a client, and only run the scripts on people with FWATCH.

The mission it's self sounds good, but how laggy (Not ping, but FPS) does it get?

Ooops, maybe my statement about the strategic map was a little bit confusing.

The strategic map does NOT update during the turn of 45 minutes. It is a static .jpg during each turn.

There was no intention to develop a realtime online monitoring system.

The strategic map will be updated at the beginning of each turn, indicating the position of the West Base

and the positions of the 1-4 C&H flags.

The next update is done at the end of the turn, displaying the result of that turn

(which side won which C&H flag, which segments have been conquered and the overall score for each of the 3 parties).

Both updates per turn are done automatically by the server.

Sorry for the confusion

Well ive just come back from playing and my first impressions are:

after a 45 min game i failed to see the difference from this, and any other C&H. I didnt see any 'turns' hapening and the flags stayed static through out. Also i found the whole Strategic map confusing, and also for some reason it said next to it 'turn 5' so i presume thats a bug. So from my first impressions it just seems like any other normal C&H but with one or two fancy graphics that dont do any thing, and a simple ammo box and location selector dialogs.

Sorry

@ D.murphy man

Every turn is a 45min C&H. You just played 1 turn. After every turn the flagpoints are changing and EAST and RES decide where this new points are.

Therefore you need this strategic map to know where you want to set the next flags to conquer more segments of Everon.

In turn 5 some flags and segments were captured in previous turns

and therefore coloured corresponding to which side it belongs.

Ah i think i understand now i was thinking it was ALL in one mission, not seperate missions. Sorry about the misunderstanding

[icebone 9]
