Well the thing is see there is not just the dod servers the server guys have more then just dod servers to sort like : CS, SI, FLF, Q3 and all mods, JK2 menny more. I cant expect for me to say jump then they do it that sec can i.

Every one knows there are more than just DoD servers to look after, the fact remains that the DoD game update should of taken priority over things, like map changes..... I expect the same when other mods get updated that they too should take priority over other minor tasks.

I'm a happen to have the opinion that server guys shouldn't need telling, they should know what mods are or have just come out.

Not to mention the fact you're illiteracy annoyed me excessively. Please take more time and care to type your replies, for the good of those of us who'd like to read them properly.

If this is a good example of literacy and prose, may god have mercy on your soul.

For example, "you're" meaning "you are" doesn't really fit in that sentence, does it? You've also used a lot of split infinitives.

Ok now can we just get back to are real lives and SHUT up about this post the server will be sorted just watch this space!!!1

fighting a losing battle eh Moonshine?

its best to leave the forums alone as its just flaming and spamming. no matter what subject is being talked about they all end the same.

That's a shame. This needn't have ended up as flaming and tbh I don't think it has.

I think I speak for Throddy as well (apologies if I don't Throd) that BW is our home. We like playing on BW servers and they're our first choice. What saddens me slightly is that Jolt had updated their servers to 3.1 even before I'd finished downloading the update. That's impressive. BW were the last to be updated out of Bluyonder, Gamesdomain and even Wireplay. Combine that with the DoD stats page Jolt maintain, the vast number of DoD servers they have, the dedicated forums, the very active community members (Elrond springs to mind) who are right in there talking directly and regularly with the DoD development team... all this leaves poor old BW very much behind, which means it leaves us behind.

Another thing... I installed and played Quake 2 tonight. Right now (by ASE) there are 13 BW servers for Q2 and only 16 players. 10 of the servers are empty. There seem to be 3 BW DoD public servers with 12 players. It's now 1:15am so I guess numbers increase dramatically at peak times. According to GameSpy stats, DoD has 3818 overall players, give or take. Q2 isn't even listed, which means it has less than 1000. In the words of our American cousins, 'you do the math.'

Jolt have 9 DoD publics, 20 if you include their clan servers (which, in fairness I probably shouldn't). Again, BW have 3, 6 if you include clan servers.

My point is... any chance of our friendly BW liaison pushing for more servers from our friendly BW network guys?

I'm not criticising you or your admins. I've never had call to summon an admin so I shall take your word for it and be happy that there are admins available at any time. Good work, fella. Thing is, with pay-to-play looming (as it always is) its gonna be Jolt who get my money.

I would love to be DoD liaison. I would love to set a personal goal to make BW the place for DoD in the UK and Europe. I would push and push until I became an irritating thorn in the sides of Natrat, Ted and DBs. I'd love to hold exclusive interviews with the DoD team, kick off the BWDoDL (has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?) get some custom maps going and generally kick start a proper DoD community on here.

But I'm not liaison. And I can't.

Will you do all of the above for me?



PS. I'll mail this to you if you don't reply within two days.

Before anyone gets angry at moonshine again you should no that as a liaison he has very little to do with server updates. Basically it is down to the BW sys admins when they upgrade. They do know about patches for new games, and if they delay the upgrade there is usually a reason, even if it is simply time contraints. Even CS updates ( arguably the most active BW servers) have taken 24 hours. E-mailing and pestering the sys admins will get moonshine, and the players nothing. I think everyone agrees that the amount of servers games have at the moment is wrong, their needs to be a redistribution and with p2p coming I would like to think BW will be on top of things.

Actually you can. You could email Bigfoot saying you want to start BWDoDL and he'll ask you if your serious and know all the work that's involved and then he'll say yes. The leagues are not in any way related to the admin / liaison system. I ran the first BWFLFL because I had inside knowledge of BW and the enthusiasm to run it. The second season didn't involve me. So if you want to start BWDoDL (I'm assuming there isn't one already, I dunno) then go for it, and good luck to you too.

To get some custom maps going make some suggestions of what you'd like and email Moonshine.

 

[throdgrain]

I'd like to think so to Ch3tan, but im in no way sure tbh.
It wasnt 24 hours for the server update btw, it was at least 48. The client patch was 2.5 mb.
Yeah Summo m8 you speak for me perfectly , I want to play on BW servers for DoD, the same as I do for CS, but at the moment that doesnt really seem possible. Apparantly the amount of people who play DoD is the same as the amount of people who play RtCW and MoH combined, which shows how much weight the game should carry.
While we're on the subject of DoD, I notice the player class limits are still fucked up on BW, We can have three snipers, three machine gunners and only one MP40 Has anyone else noticed that ? There is a way to sort it, I read about it on J*lt, will we be fixing this ?

look we have asked for more server so dont think we havent tryed

I notice the player class limits are still fucked up on BW, We can have three snipers, three machine gunners and only one MP40

i mailed the system guys on the 05-08-02 21:42 to sort the class limits, i was told this was sorted i even play on them and the limits seemed fine ... I will look at them today a remail the system guys if they need redoing ok.

I would love to set a personal goal to make BW the place for DoD in the UK and Europe. I would push and push until I became an irritating thorn in the sides of Natrat, Ted and DBs. I'd love to hold exclusive interviews with the DoD team, kick off the BWDoDL

Yes if you want to a BWDoDL admin mail bigfoot if you have all the info to set one up . Hope u do too but it has nothing to do with being a liasion.

 

[-MooNShinE-]

Ohh forgot to say if u have any porbs with any of the DoD server E-MAIL me would help me to know people conserns , so i can get things to how people want them !!

 

[R1PP3R]

I have a few plans for a few servers for DoD to get more people to come to BW is there anychace i could get a few more servers to give a tolal of six servers, Yes i know it seems a lot but i if u want to keep the DoD comunity on BW we need to offer more mixed servers this is my plan :

server (1) Non para maps friendlyfire off
server (2) NoN Para maps Frendlyfire on
server (3) All maps friendlyfire off
server (4) All maps friendlyfire on
server (5) Custum Maps frinedly off
server (6) para maps only friendlyfire off

I will get all the links to the custum maps and give them to you, If i can get any extra servers and it dose not give me a total of six can you please let me know how meny so i can decide what settings to use

Thx

Yes , I did email ,as i said earlier
As far as them class limits, well played moonshine n1
Theres a bug with them though you do know that ? Im at work atm so cant tell you what it is, sorry .

 

[throdgrain]

This has been borrowed from "another" forum It works for 3.0, not 100% sure about 3.1, but I expect it to work because the limits havent changed.

Quote;
Normal Classess

//Allies

Heavy = Sniper
Sniper = Heavy


//Axis

Assault = Heavy
Heavy = Sniper
Sniper = Assault


para classess

axis:

class limits appear to work on the correct classes

allies:

mp_limitalliesspring - limits the Grease Gun
mp_limitalliesgreasegun - limits the Springfield

/unquote.

Hope that is of some help

 

[-MooNShinE-]

yeah i noticed on the dayofdefeatmod forums , thx for the post though .


lets just hope i get my extra servers took me ages to get the 3rd.

 

[throdgrain]

You noticed it but didnt put it on your email to BW ? Ay ?

It took you ages to get the 3rd server ?
Please could you and everyone else read this thread, then make up your own minds.

Amazing

 

[S-Gray]

Im getting (Oh gawd) bored with CS now, not to extend where i wont play it ever again, but im playing it too much, and gettin bored with the same stuff happening..

So im downloading DoD now, to see what its like.. heh

 

[throdgrain]

Nice one m8 , gimme a shout we could have a game
I play both as you know, and if Im honest CS more than DoD, but its nice to be able to play both, makes a change.
Mind you when the fit takes me I also occasionally play q3 q3UT, RtCW and even Op Flash online from time to time. Im a right games whore me

 

[Summo]

Good work, Moonshine. That's the ticket!

Come and play, SG! I can show you loads of good little hiding spots.





(So I know where you'll be when I'm on the other team. )

 

[S-Gray]

Right heh, Intalled it, setup my Config (To best of my knowldge, bugger knows what half the stuff is!) so if anyone needs to kill a n00b, look for Super_Gray[SG]

 

[S-Gray]

hmm ,its a lot Slower than CS, it feels like your walking all the time, looks OK, the Nades are weird too lol, you throw em infront of you and they go for miles.. :/ and they kill you in one

(I just played alone on a LAN to see what its like)

 

[S-Gray]

OMG i just played it on Jolt, the map was Overlord, and i was Allied, i landed on the Beach and got snipered almost everytime i spawned, i mean wtf?!?! you can hardly run to dodge the snipers, you cant even SEE the enemies, i just ran up and hill and died instantly?!!? i eventually come against someone with (what looked like) an AK but he killed me..

got pissed off and left and a score of 0-8 :/

 

[throdgrain]

hehehe You always leave when your losing
Seriously, dog1/overlord are meant to be shooting gallerys for the Axis, thats from the mouths of the game developers. Its a realistic game, so thats going to happen if your running up a beach faced by machine guns
Try ramelle, thunder, anzio, caen2, zafod, all wicked maps imo

 

[Summo]

I would take Zafod off that list and add Avalanche. I really don't like Overlord for just the reasons you mention, SG. They can make for very frustrating games, but on the flip side because they're so difficult for Allies it's really rewarding when it goes well.

Just a little cover on the beach would help, though.

 

[S-Gray]

gah, i went on a Search for a "noobie server" but found bugger all, so i ended up goin against people who where 50* better than me, and i didnt know what to do.. i was runnin round like a headless chicken on Anzio i think, ran round, ducked dived, died, died.. died..
