# 4 - Limit nades to 2 or 1 per kit on a specific map. Possible ? If yes, how ? I once heard that 2 is ok, but 1 will lead to server crashes ?


# 5 - Without BFSM, using the commandline : admin.servermessage, you can send a general yellow text message. Is it possible to include a player name in it by adding a player id to it somehow ?


# 6 - Commandline, kill / destroy vehicle ? Using the game.killplayer [id] console command, you can kill a specific player. Is it possible per default or with mods to kill a vehicle or all vehicles of a category ?

Thx.

we played around with in game commands the problem was the command also told everyone who the admins were with message so we gave it away and stuck with BFRM. Here is a list of commands we got from somewhere back then that I had saved

Code: Select all

BFRM has an easier way to interface with the server for all of those commands; it is their in game command system. This system uses the file "playermenu.con" for the command structure and it is easily customizable and much easier to use than the console command system. There are three simple steps:

1. Set up your admin "user" in BFRM. Include their keyhash in the User record and Save. Available in-game commands should correspond with the Admin tabs you set them up with.

2. Review the commands in your playermenu.con file. Again, you can customize this for your needs. It might be helpful at first to print out a copy of it to have handy for when you want to use the commands.

3. Go into game and practice issuing commands. You have to preface the in-game command with ! as in !warn. The command for each particular action is the word or partial word at the end of the command description/action, and it is contained in brackets. So, for:

Warn player>"Please listen to the admins"[warn]

your in-game command to warn player # 32 name of Michell would be one of the following:

!warn .32
!warn michell
!warn mich

and would result in the following:

[BFSM] Michell Please listen to the admins

This can be shown either in yellow text in the lower left hand corner or in gray text in the player chat area, depending upon your preference and option selection in BFSM. Using a partial name as in the third example might not work if there is another player(s) in game with that same partial name. For instance, if you had Michell, MichaelTheGreat or Sammich in game, use of "mich" as a partial name match would fail.

Anyhoo look over the playermenu.con file and play around with it, let us know if you have any questions.

Thx.

1. you can change the projectiles or use the distToStartLoseDamage code (it only affects direct damage, not splash) or just remove some of the "addFireArmsPosition". you can change reloadtime ssm and it works, but the clients cant see the changes so half the time they will shoot blanks.

2.a.b not in any way that i know of.

3. there is a code that makes the engine be on full throttle "all the time" once you triggered it, i cant remember if it was enough to just enter the vehicle or if you had to tap the throttle once.

4. should be possible, if you set the nades to 2 first, then add a second FireArmsPosition somewhere out of the map it will spawn the second nade where it cant be seen and empty the mag in one go.

5. dont know the command for that but it should be there somewhere as the bfsm program can trigger it.

6. dont know but i doubt it would be easy, every object created in the server gets a #nr when its being created, but its dynamic and often very high numbers, iwé tried to kill the f***ing siren in BoB but so far no success. its much easier to create stuff.

Thx freddy, without you, and other bfmods-goodfellas, my server would be a pile of unorganized annoyance. Your help is invaluable, and results in highly improved gameplay experience and entertainment for thousands of new players. I cannot thank you enough.

# 1 - That client "invisibility" is ok with me. What code, inserted where is needed to change the round of fire for the PoWales, at Iwo only (mapside), from 6 to 12 seconds ?

I tried changing values in objects.con/vehicles/sea/princeow/weapons

and also inserting activing' in os.con ... didn't help. solution ?

[freddy]

Looking at the POW weapons it seems to have real low reloadtimeand and roundOfFire, usually its just a matter of change the reload time so i guess you could try this in ObjectSpawnTemplates.con

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.Active PrinceOW_CannonPipes4
ObjectTemplate.reloadtime 0.30

ObjectTemplate.Active PrinceOW_CannonPipes2
ObjectTemplate.reloadtime 0.30

put the server file temporary in your games mapfolder and host a local game so you can see how/if it works

[Scoop M]

1 # - I got it to work !

The proper code was :

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.Active PrinceOW_CannonPipes4
ObjectTemplate.reloadtime 0.07
ObjectTemplate.roundOfFire 0.07

ObjectTemplate.Active PrinceOW_CannonPipes2
ObjectTemplate.reloadtime 0.07
ObjectTemplate.roundOfFire 0.07

Since :

1 means one second
0.15 means 6.66 seconds
0.07 means 14.29 seconds

Tried with reloadtime lines only first, then added roundOfFire when it didn't work.

Thx for leading me the right way bud. And yes, I always test code on a test server where I enter as a client

[Scoop M]

I've already asked the following in this post :

"Is it possible to make empty vehicles immune to all damage, and make them normally vulnerable as soon as a player occupies them ?"

SSM

(just like friendly fire off, but also including empty vehicles)

and gotten an answer from freddy, saying it can't be done.

Can anybody please confirm this ? I ask again because it would be a quantum leap if it could be made possible.
