Warfare 1.1.x [DANIEL N&S]

[Rommel 2]

Moderators to avoid confusion, could you please change thread title to: Warfare 1.1.x [DANIEL N&S]

Credits: BIS, MattRochelle (His mission gave me ideas and most of the groundwork to me learning about Warfare the mission.)

Mainly releasing because its (personally) much more enjoyable then the original version due to the higher prices and gameplay style that induces more teamwork, and a less arcade feel.

A setViewDistance and SetTerrainGrid set of options has been given to allow users to change their settings.

Entire Changelog, new mission will be out by end of week hopefully.

Hi..not played it yet ,but is it suppossed to be un PBO'd...

[Commando84 0]

ohh nice to see 'em different versions of the warefare mission coming to life

[Rommel 2]

Yeh just had that brought to my attention...  

*Check Above Post for Link*

[daikan 1]

small change - big effect. i like it!

[ModaFlanker 0]

Thanks Rommel!

I'll be sure to check it out. I like the changes you picked

Changed: Aircraft hangars cannot be destroyed. - Excellent, too easy to abuse that by being a friendly saboteur

Changed: Increased Construction Distances. Perfect, was kinda hard to put defenses on hills around HQ if they were too far

Changed: Increased Max Player Group Size (27 Personnel). Hope it doesn't lag game like I've seen on another edit like this, RTS-4 didn't lag with such a size though

Changed: Increased Respawn Range (600 -> 1600) Good, so it makes it harder to camp those respawning?

Removed: AI Supply Trucks. GOOD FREAKING RIDDANCE they were useless and only got in the way of AI vehicles too, game always required you supply manually due to incompetent AI driving

Added: 'Rommels Missile Range Restrictor'. So now the hunter has to show him/herself in order to bite.

Feel free to use this : http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Warfare_Whis_Mod for a hopefully correct fix for Ka-50

Hi,

regarding the AI supply trucks - perhaps it would be possible to improve thier driving skills by setting them to combat mode SAFE - as far as I remember if an AI is on SAFE mode, they will ignore fighting but keep on roads - havent tested it though

Regards Gunhawk

[Rommel 2]

First Post Updated.

Version 2.

EDIT: QUICK FIX, EAST STARTED WITH 540,000$

Nice

[169th_Ice 0]

Best version of Warfare so far.

camo nets and GBUs for Su34B's have really made Warfare fun online. Not to mention the ability to change your view distance (up to 3000m and graphics options (Grass on or off). Well done Daniel.

[mazza 1]

An idea??  Can the supply truck routes be replaced with some sort of network infrastructure? i.e. is it possible to tie towns with some sort of static placement of an object? In doing so the object maintains the supply and can be sabotaged etc  Silly perhaps, but I'm trying to address having to move AI around for supply.

PS I am no script writer, this is an idea for people ala ROM who can code

[Rommel 2]

I'm not entirely sure what your implying.

Are you referring to something similiar to that of "supply boxes" or some such that can be destroyed?

If so:

1. How would you increase the value/amount.

2. Whats wrong with managing Ai? Don't like it, don't do it, just give the money for the trucks to someone who can/will.

3. Isn't the beginning or total capture of a town even if you dont capture it, just hurt their supply values enough for this 'sabotage' approach?

Regards,

Romm.

Human Commanders. Good point, I had not looked into how the AI commander may handle this.

Who uses AI commanders anyhow.. .

----

---

I have added Su34 GBUs, and it seemed a little too awesome, however it is not final decision, am looking for feedback.

---

Yup. Vehicles are not supported at the moment, as they can be salvaged already.

---

Well, you can already place AT mines, so Ill leave that to players, but AP mines were the thought in hand.

True this, except uhh... what about us (LAN) singleplayers, the other side will have an AI commander?

What I mean by it is does it affect how the other AI quads receive their funding, or do they even use it, like do the other AI squads just automatically spawn without the need for anything? I’m still unsure how they work towards that so I just thought I would ask away here given this particular add on function.

[Rommel 2]

I have been thinking about it, and I have decided that the in the case of an AI commander the funding percentage towards players is at a default 5% of the side income. Where as with a player the options are between 2% -> 6.25% (Completely even).

Incase some are unsure how this works and are scared of the percentages.

Three towns are taken, each town has a supply value of 110, making a combined total of 330. This in normal money division system would give everyone a total of 330 dollars per minute.

In this system, despite the (going to have to) significant increase in income and or lower of prices, 330 would be divided among 15 players, at a certain percentage.

If it was say 4% each player would get 13.2 dollars per minute. Leaving 132 dollars per minute for the commander.

%5:

Player: 16.5/min Commander: 82.5/min

%6

Player: 19.8/min Commander: 33/min

Etc.

Anyway, as mentioned, I will have to change either the income quantity, or prices.

[russin 0]

could you make a version with these changes at all

Quote[/b] ]-Remove all supply trucks

-remove spawning at towns

-remove fast travel

-add moble forward spawn unit (reptruck) that can build a respawn point using heath tents) and beable to build ammo creates small defences etc....

-ending game make so that all buildings and MHQ have to be destroyed for a Win

-add building upgrades meaning for Eg: you build a barrack you should only beable to bye min 3 diff types of units no AT units untill a upgrade is bought this should apply to all buildings

[Rommel 2]

- No

- Maybe

- Maybe (I do wish to keep some of the arcade players, and not bore those whom may die over ten kilometres from the base.)

- Yes, already in the works. Another idea I forgot to mention, is the respawnable "Hospital", expensive however you can respawn at them across the map instead of bases. These may be an answer to point two instead of camps/towns.

- I am not sure what you are implying, unless you mean secondary bases need to be destroyed aswell? In which case: No.

- No. I never liked this in the old MFCTI, it slowed gameplay too much, and seeing as players can already buy the gear from square one, a definite nope. Allowing improvised airfields. And a more planned base site.

___

Rather then turn this totally into MFCTI, I still wish to keep Warfare -> Warfare...

That also said I don't mind the way the base looks with non desert looking buildings...

[CrazyAce 0]

Added: MFCTI Money Division System. (Commander receives all money, but allocates a percentage of the income to players).

Really looking forward to this mod Rommel and thanx for clarifying this.

[russin 0]

i think with the size of islands that 2-3 bases would have been awesome to get away from this fast travleing and spawning in towns thats just turned me off the whole warfare game...

if you get smart players warfare games can end pretty quickly just listen for the AI trucks driving to your base lol far to easy to find bases in these warfare games

that was one of the great things in older MFCTI games MHQ hunters cat and mouse with the MHQ you allways wondered where there MHQ was

its even worse now no MHQ game is over here....

i would still like to try this version out when ya got it all woopeed up

good work

[Rommel 2]

Thanks for the comments all!

@Russin

If you had read the previous changelogs, you would learn that AI supply trucks have been removed, and a smart commander never allows the AI teams to be on automatic, otherwise, yes he does run the risk of exposing his base.

We'll be playing Daniel's (aka Rommel's) mission on the "169th Panthers High Performance Server"  which is a core 2 duo pc running just the one session of Arma and nothing else. Based in California, on a 100MB optic fibre through www.cihost.com

It wont be up all of the time, but you should find it between Midnight and Midday GMT
