KaRRiLLioN

Actually I run my own server on a T-1 after 5pm Eastern time. 209.193.133.66 KaRRiLLioN's OpFlash BootCamp

UPDATE: Get new version at the same link. I just uploaded a new version with these changes: Markers now appear for each of the first unique buildings you place, i.e. if you make a Barracks, then a marker only visible to your team appears there. It won't appear for any other barracks you make. Same goes for the other buildings. Also, a marker appears for your spawn. This way if someone is asking where the base is, just tell them to look at the map. Worker now repair the first of each unique building you make. In other words, first CommandHQ, Barracks, etc. Make sure you place them in an accessible place. When a building is destroyed the workers will automatically go to it and repair it and then return to the recycler. The only cost is that when they're repairing, they're not earning any money, but it's a lot cheaper than doing it with your mobile base or construction jeep. Oh and Yeah, west starts out with more because I forgot to remove some stuff while testing. Me and a few others just had one hell of a game. They built their base in the mountains near St. Pierre and fortified by making a couple of shilka squads. Our choppers got shot down every time. I built 3 Tank squads (Armored Assault Squads) and led them to the base and had one hell of a battle. I managed to take out most of their shilkas and I stole their Mobile Base unit and built another base near theirs. Then I got killed and my team took a couple of choppers and I took a A10 LGB and we finished them off. It lasted about 1 hr 30 mins and it was a BLAST!

Actually $24,000 is just a temporary number until I'm done finalizing some things. Most likely I'll give just enough money to build the base plus get an upgrade or something. The reason you get $24,000 is because you're the leader and you have to build all of the buildings. The other players get much less than that, like about $7000. BTW I've almost got the workers doing some cool stuff. Whenever one of your buildings is destroyed, they'll run over to it and repair it. The only cost is that they aren't earning money while they do it, but it doesn't cost anything unless you repair it with your truck. This keeps the incentive to keep those workers alive. I haven't tested it out on a dedicated server so I'm not sure if it'll work there, but it works great on my PC.

Does it have a refrigerator? Looks nice, probably took you a while to get everything aligned.

Heh, well nice base. =) To build the Armored AA Squads, simply visit your Barracks and scroll down to the bottom of the list. Â There, you should see Train Armored AA Squads and Train Armored Assault Squad. BTW, I have uploaded the lates version of RTS2 to the same url. Â I have the workers in there now, but I temporarily removed their animations. Â Right now they just stand around, but I'm taking a look at maybe having them automatically repair your base buildings if they are destroyed. Â I just need to make sure that they can detect the correct buildings and not go around repairing every building they find. =) also, they'll have to be within a certain distance of your buildings because I don't want them wandering all over creation. Oh, and I thought helos were already very expensive. First of all it takes $3000 just to upgrade to basic, then it takes $4000 for advanced. And then most of the big choppers are around $3000 each, and they take about 2-3 mins to build.

There is a bug in the version of RTS2 that you have. The Barracks must be built first or the marker for the AI AA Squad will not move to your base. I have it fixed now and will get a new version up at the same address as before. Oh and I have change how you earn money. Instead of building 5 Recyclers, now you build 1 Recycler and you make 5 workers. They will each earn you money as long as they are alive. I will make them more useful in the future as well.

AWESOME! That's one hell of a base that someone built there, LOL. I suppose tanks would have a hell of a time getting in there. Did you use the Tank Squads and the AA squads ok?

Sounds good, keep me posted.

Using these methods will let you hear explosions at the beginning of the mission as all of these vehicle explode. If you'd rather have them sitting quietly, you can also set the slider bars for FUEL and AMMO to 0, and then set the health bar to 0. Then copy and paste the vehicle and change it to whatever types you want so you can have a variety. The previously mentioned methods are great though if you just want to sound like a war is going on in the background when the mission starts.

While I think that Gunslinger's addon is not well made, in fact it's probably more harmful than good, I would like to have the ability to place any tree, bush, rock, building, etc. with the in-game mission editor. As it is right now, I have only a partial list of the objects that are used on the map. For example, I made a training mission, but I had to use Kegetys's object addon so I could use the blue targets and to place a few bushes. Unfortunately, everyone must have that addon in order to play the mission, even though all of those objects already exist in the game, the names given to those objects in the addon are incompatible and will crash those without it. I don't use any addons at all in my missions. I think that while there are some very nice ones out there, it is simply too confusing for the average player to track them down, and I have also recently found out that some unofficial addons can even crash a server on some missions. Anyway, I would at LEAST like a list of all of the placeable objects in the game, rather than just the partial list that is in a tutorial over on ofpec.com. I would be interested in finding out how Kegetys and Gunslinger made these addons. Do they have the proper names, or not? Anyway, I vote no to Gunslingers, but a resounding YES to an official BIS version. =o)

When you and Russin came and played on the server tonight it did crash with that M2ADuce error for everyone. Then after you both left we played 2 games at 1 hour a each. It never crashed at all and played smoothly. I am almost certain that there is an addon or replacement addon for an official unit that is causing it on your end. Here's what happens. When you build a unit it searches the list for a type. This might be "Bradley" for M2A2, but opflash might have some other identifier in the code that has M2A2 in it. It might pick up the name of an addon that you have and try to use it which will crash the server since it doesn't have it. I have no addons at all except the official ones, and the server doesn't have any either, and since this only happened one other time when you all weren't playing but about 15 players were, I think one of them may have had the addon that causes this. Russin said he has about 128 addons, so maybe if you copied your current addon folder or renamed it to "Unofficial Addons" and then made an Addon folder with only official ones and tried it we can see if this is the cause. The server would also have to have no addons either. Anyway, this is my theory and I think it's correct. thanks for stopping by and helping test it!

I'm not sure. There must be an addon on your server that is causing it. I'll ask around but I've had no one else report this error.

What version of dedicated server are you playing on, and does it have unofficial addons? I know of at least 20 other dedicated servers playing this mission and none of them have every had this error.

I am not sure where this bug is coming from. I have checked everything and I have absolutley NOTHING ANYWHERE in the mission that even remotely has M2MaDuce. After checking my server logs from last night, I do see that the server crashed once with that error. I don't know what is causing it, but I'll check into it some more. In the meantime, I guess don't build any M2A2's. BTW the Type for an M2A2 is named Bradley. So when it is built, it uses "Bradley" as the unit type. I don't have a single mention of M2a2Duce anywhere, so it could also be a game bug perhaps, not a mission bug. Anyway, try playing without building an M2 and see if that helps.

Thanks! This happened when you were building an M2A2 at the Tank Factory? I'll check it out to make sure the correct type is being used.
