THN BF2 Server - 1.3 (done)

[Ronin Storm]

Guys,

I need some more permissions on Serenity to upgrade the BF2 installation and I wasn't able to get in touch with Haven earlier. I'm now out of time (as I'm up at 05:30 tomorrow morning for another edition of "let's work a 12 to 14 hour day").

I might get a chance to look at this on Thursday (right before "no really, up at 05:00 is fun, and maybe we can push it to more like 14 to 16 hours") but realistically it'll wait until Sunday.

Sorry for the delay. Bad week for a patch to come out, as far as I'm concerned.

I've put the server back up under the old version in case that happens to be of any use to people.

I believe I have upgraded the THN BF2 server. It works for me. I'd appreciate it if some others could try it out and report back.

I've retained a complete copy of the old server just for now. If everything is still looking fine in a few days I'll remove the old server.

I have ported across the custom maps but I have not tested them. Please could the map developers (Piacular, Gizmo) test them out and confirm they are ready for 1.3?

Finally, I've watched the PB server update so that should be ready to go, but I did start out with it warning me that it was out of date. It's stopped that now but please let me know if you're getting that message from the server.

Hope that's all good!

FYI, the server is running Karkand, non-stop, on bot mode, with 32 bots (all US) with a bot difficulty of 50. That should make it really pretty hard unless you're a tightly coordinated team. Let me know if you need that tweaking (or if it lags like a bastard, in which case I'll drop the number of bots).

Good work there Ronin ^_^

I've yet to try out Co-op mode.

Upped to 48 bots at Piacular's request. All upped difficulty to 60. Apparently you were all owning the bots too much. Now see how you do!

Well a couple of us tried the difficulty on 100! That was slightly too hard

Meh, it seems you can't have more than 32 players on one side :/.

Though the bots are set to 48, they don't all spawn for the Americans, they must be floating about in the abyss. Ronin, if there was a mod that allowed us to have more bots and on different maps would you consider installing it on Serenity?

Re: THN BF2 Server - 1.3 (not yet)

The different maps bit I am fine with. However, bots tend to be quite CPU intensive and given Serenity's occasional sickly nature I don't want to push her too hard. We could suck it and see, though, if you happen to find an appropriate mod.
