104th Phoenix Dedicated Server Info

[microvax]

Notice: As from this evening GMT all missions containing Forward Observer slots will be deactivated on the 104th server, this is due in part to concerns of many clients in the MP community of exploitation/abuse of this ability and the potential instability problems arising from moving AI units around on the map while there is a heavy load on the server.

 

This feature will be reviewed in future and may make a comeback if the right conditions persist.

 

Sad it did come to this, since AI unit movement could be disabled while keeping the forward observer.

Oh? How is this done, do tell :)

Argh, don't see the server again. Updated to 5199 and still not showing.

 

Edit: Disregard, it's up.

[REQUEST] Could we see mig-21 vs F-5 in the map rotation??? Red Flag one is good but wouldnt mind doing over a longer period say open to public.

[104th_Maverick]

@Coxy

 

No sorry mate, we'll leave that for other communities to pick up, our server will stay on its current format with all the modern (ish) aircraft.

[carss]

@Maverick, could we see the inclusion of other countries in the missions? Like Iran for the red side F-5s, and maybe India or some other country for blue side Mig-21s?

Hey buddy, Maverick's answer here won't differ anyway from mine on our forums. We will do it, once we have to redo the missions and according to our scenarios.

 

But atm we won't change all the missions just for skins, as you cannot add countries to coalitions once a mission is created, and redoing the missions just for skins is not an option.

 

So please be patient and we will add more countries once the time comes to redo the missions.

 

S!

Thanks man, no problem :) :thumbup: However I would like to highlight, that some of the countries like Iran are already in the Red coalition, so in their case all that needs to be done is to change the Russian F-5s to Iranian.

 

That's all, just wanted to put that out there. But I totally understand your point and I am super glad to know that you guys liked my suggestion :thumbup:

[Knock-Knock]

;3082770']As mentioned above we have turned off all exports for now while we spend some time looking into ways it can be exploited, hopefully we can turn them on in the near future for you guys as I imagine that seat gives a some enjoyable immersion!

Sorry in the meantime :(

 

Any news on this, allowing exports for the Jetseat?

[Frostie]

I don't know if it has been mentioned but Op.backfire - no restrictions, there are no R-27ET at Kutaisi, Kobuleti or Batumi only at Senaki.

Hey buddy, yes, our mistake, I fixed it. Thanks for letting us know. Checked all other versions of Bison and Backfire, too.

 

ATM we have three versions of each mission:

 

one restricted, no ERs, Amraams, 77s and ETs

 

one restricted with ERs, but no Amraams, 77s and ETs

 

and one with no restrictions that allows all weapons.

 

Atm the restricted version with ERs and the non restricted versions are in rotation.

 

Mission briefings have been updated. Thanks to 104th_Knight for the initial changes.

You can actually change the coalitions without doing it in the editor. You have to open the mission file and edit this part I believe. Of course you need to know which number is for which coalition. I have had to do this in the past, but it was quite some time ago.

 

"coalitions"] = 
   {
       ["blue"] = 
       {
           [1] = 11,
           [2] = 8,
           [3] = 13,
           [4] = 5,
           [5] = 16,
           [6] = 15,
           [7] = 20,
           [8] = 12,
           [9] = 9,
           [10] = 10,
           [11] = 3,
           [12] = 4,
           [13] = 2,
       }, -- end of ["blue"]
       ["red"] = 
       {
           [1] = 18,
           [2] = 6,
           [3] = 0,
           [4] = 19,
           [5] = 1,
       }, -- end of ["red"]
   }, -- end of ["coalitions"]

           [6] = 15,
           [7] = 20,
           [8] = 12,
           [9] = 9,
           [10] = 10,

           [12] = 4,
           [13] = 2,
       }, -- end of ["blue"]
       ["red"] = 
       {
           [1] = 18,
           [2] = 6,
           [3] = 0,
           [4] = 19,
           [5] = 1,
       }, -- end of ["red"]
   }, -- end of ["coalitions"]

 

Thanks mate, I think actually we did this in the past (didnt think of it) but in hindsight of 2.5 and redoing all the missions my excuse came in handy lol, as we will for now avoid any major changes other than really necessary.

 

Also, after speaking with Maverick about this, all missions will get adjusted to our liveries sheet, so that there will be a recognition sheet/ image for all aircraft red and blue.

 

http://104thphoenix.com/liveries-reference/

 

atm the livieries are still a WIP. so pls bare with us.

 

But thanks again for pointing it out.

[IronMike]

Dear all, I would like to bring another issue to your attention.

 

Apparently it has become an attitude on the server to think that name calling / abusive chat is ok. Let me tell you as firmly as I can:

It is not!

It is a direct violation of the rules and will result in a 3 days ban without exceptions.

 

The big majority of you behave really well and make this community so mature, helpful and friendly and we cannot thank you enough for that.

 

Also, we are more lax on swearing, times have changed, we like to swear ourselves every now and then, but the context and tone make the music.

 

So please re-acquaint yourself with the fact that name calling is not allowed, no matter the situation. We know it is frustrating to get teamkilled, but name calling will serve you for nothing except getting banned along with the one who teamkilled you, and I guess that will be even more frustrating. There are other and more polite ways to express your frustration. Also bear in mind, that often it is new guys who do annyoing stuff, and that most likely, at some time in the past you and I and everyone of us belonged to those annoying guys, as well. :smilewink:

Thank you for understanding and complying. S!

The server suffered from troll that killed friendly AWACS lately. I've seen this twice in the last couple of days. It really ruined the fun. Hope its already taking care of.

 

Cheers

In the restricted missions, Bison I think, the Viggen is missing stuff in the airbase resource like the KB countermeasure pod and fuel tanks. I haven't checked yet whether this is a Viggen issue or an update issue.

 

If it is an update issue I know this is a pita, from what I remember I think the work arounds are

1. resetting one airbase back to unlimited

2. saving the mission to get the updated weapon etc. list applied to that unlimited base

3. setting the weapon restrictions back up at that same airbase and copying it to all the others

4. save

 

I think the alternate is editing the mission file.

issue is known, thanks Frostie, we have to change the warehouse (lua?) I think, it's not me who is doing it. we hope to fix it by the end of the weekend.

 

@scorch, sorry buddy, that's not gonna happen, as it opens the door to you know who... (che...uhm..coughers)

 

@oceander, thank you for reporting, that is very annoying indeed. I think we caught one guy and banned him, dont know about the other one. Whenever something like this happens, pls take a scrnshot at least and provide us with it, we can ban the client even if he isnt in the server anymore and thus prevent him from doing it again, or more optimal: learning the rules through penalty.

 

Cheers all, S!

Thanks Mike, yes warehouse file, just saying I found it more intuitive to force the warehouse update through the ME.

rgr mate, thanks! We were waiting for an update, but if it doesnt come today, we will do it over the weekend.

 

S! and see you in Red Flag!

[kreisch]

Hey guys,

 

 

It might be annoying if that topic already came up (in this case: sorry!), but what about the Gazelle being able to transport troops (no crates)?

 

Yesterday I had a nice flying but it was hard to find some targets in the Mistral-Gazelle.

Transporting a Stinger team behind enemy lines would have been fun ;)

 

S!

[SDsc0rch]

what's the rotation now? how long do missions stay up?

 

looking at OpBison.. says its going on 6hrs now - what say we move this show down the road.....??

[*Rage*]
