Grimes and SLMOD need our help!

[ENO]

I'd prefer for you to get a couple of people together, make a backup of the stats, and run with completely new stats on the alternate code trying out all sorts of variables. Stuff like, team killing, team killing as admin, destroying every type of object, using as many different weapon types as possible, and PvP kills between helicopters, CAS aircraft, and fighters.

 

 

Okay folks- we have our marching orders...

 

For this rare occasion the firehouse server will be locked so there is NO question what is going on (for those of you who don't read the briefing lol).

 

the password for this event will be: slmod

 

The mission is as basic as can be... includes many different aircraft types so should have a full array of weapons available. I'll need to spend a bit more time loading different targets but this should get us started with the munitions. A few simple target arrays exist.

 

Come in, take a few shots... shoot each other down... be creative.

 

None of it will be counted towards your stats on the firehouse server.

When's this happening Eno?

[ENO]

It's up right now :)

 

 

It isn't really a "regulated" occurrence or anything- basically all we're wanting to do is collect some data so that Grimes can look it over and make sure things are lined up properly.

[AhSoul]

Ah ok wasn't sure if you were planning to set a time to get as many people in as possible or something :)

 

I'll try and drop in later this evening ;)

[ENO]

Well I'm going to try and get the SimHQ crowd out tomorrow for it- but I figured I'd float it out there now and see what we can conjure up. It'll also help me figure out if the "stats" and "autokick" functions are configured properly so that people can kill at large and have it recorded... but not result in a kick or ban.

 

If there are any issues, please report them here.

[AhSoul]

Just popped on for a bit. 4 AGM kills, bunch of GAU kills and 1 AIM9 kill. Think I killed more friendlies than enemies ;)

 

Stats looked ok I think?

[Merlin-27]

P-51D? Are there plans to include Mustang stats eventually?

[Grimes]

All aircraft should be supported by the stats engine. Does the P-51D not record stats?

I'm running 7.0 on my server and it seemed to only record hours flown and crashes/deaths for the P-51. Is it possible I set it up wrong?

[ENO]

I do have p51s in this mission template.

Roger. I tried out the mission for a bit right after I posted that. I shot up some RED ground targets with the Stang and then landed. Do the Mustangs have the freqs set? I attempted to contact ATC but didn't get a response.

No, its just bugged. Speed has been gone for a few months and hasn't maintained slmod. With the 1.2.5 patch a bunch of stuff dealing with events changed which broke the majority of slmod stats. I've attempted to fix it and have distributed my work so far for testing to a few server admins to make sure its working before I release it for everyone.

 

As far as I know the only stat that is slightly messed up is the guns stats. Its currently counting every time the trigger is pressed, not every shot fired.

All is configured normally. Were you just contacting batumi or did you try others?

[ENO]

On that note, Grimes... I've submitted an initial battery of logs from the day- I'm going to add a bit more to the mission in terms of target varieties etc...

[Grimes]

Nice. It looks like its tracking client kills just fine, but there are a few errors that need to be investigated. I updated two of the slmod files in the dropbox to remove a missed print message and to hopefully fix some of the errors that occurred.

[ENO]

So just upload the new script file as before?

 

 

Disregard- on a hunch I went into the folder and saw that slmod 7.1 folder was updated within the last hour or so-

 

I've updated the scripts folder and am running it with those updates.

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying. So does that mean we might be able to see P-51 PvP stats with 7.1? Sorry if I misunderstood what you said.

 

Either way thanks so much for all the effort in carrying on with SLMOD. I think it's an incredible tool from the short time I've used it. I'd really love to see it keep progressing and have our stats recorded eventually. If you need any other servers to test on let me know, I'd be happy to help.

Yea I just tried to reach Batumi using the A channel. Who knows, maybe I goofed it up. No worries, I was just curious.

[ENO]

Just realized that in its current state with the red forces so close to the airbase at batumi that rearming may not work. I'll fix it- but until then if you destroy the reds then it'll open up the services again.

 

Merlin, that might explain why you weren't able to talk to ATC as well- now that I'm thinking out loud.

[ENO]

New logs submitted as well from this evening.
