Server 2 MODS
Hello All,
I am sure you as well as I, have enjoyed playing on server 2 with your favourite sound mods etc. Personally it has just reinvented the game for me all over again, as I have just started using te FDF sound mod which is excellent and the closest I have heard yet to certain real world sounds.
Anyway..... my request is this.
As responsible gamers, I would like to ask you all to limit yourselves to just "3" (Three) "addons". This should hopefully alow people to use their sound mod, an effects mod and whatever else is most important to the player.
By sticking to no more than 3, we can all help to maintain a more stable server. Whilst this is not a "Ban" type of rule if breached, I am asking for players to respect this, as we decide how the servers run with mods allowed.
If all is good, we can then look forward to planning advance games on a Sunday like a "SWAT" style game, etc and we can post the required mod a week or so in advance.
Many thanks and see you on the island!

Re: Server 2 MODS
The number of mods doesn't have as much to do with it as WHAT you are modding.
Case in point: I can put 3 GB of mods into a single folder called "@mods" ...
The mods that tax the system are mods that create objects that need to be broadcast to other players .. smoke mods (with viewblock, even worse) are prime examples. Replacement mods aren't as bad .. but again, they broadcast the object's config etc. when you connect (AFAIK).
Ideally, the server should be set up with a "required" list of mods, and then have a very limited selection of mods you can have as "extra", ie: sound mods. If the server and client are all running the same mods (as far as actual objects are concerned) there will be far less lag ... in my experience.

Re: Server 2 MODS
I agree, we need to not take a mile in this instance. People have requested the allowance of mods so they can benefit from the sounds and effects. If people start joining with a huge list of mods we may lose the use of any mods all together

Re: Server 2 MODS
I am not going to name names, but some of you have actually tried to connect with 12, yes 12 separate mods running. Knowing that it screws up your own machine's game play and frame rates, why would you ever consider imposing that on your fellow gamer?

Re: Server 2 MODS
I am happy running just 2 mods right now. The scope fix mod, which fixes the sights of scoped rifles and binoculars so they can be used fairly accurately in calculating range and the sight adjustment mod so I can actually adjust MoA.

Re: Server 2 MODS
As it's been said before, it isn't so much how many but what they do. I don't see 12 mods that fix small problems in the game as a major issue, whereas 12 mods that might communicate with other players, the server, or hog resources I'd understand being apprehensive about.

Re: Server 2 MODS
Perhaps we could take a vote one which specific mods to allow, re-package them into a single 'Tactical Gamer Required Mods' file, and put it somewhere where players can get to it? I'm sure we could all agree one a good sound mod, a good effects mod, and a mod to tweak a few things like scopes and such.

Re: Server 2 MODS
Not a chance in hell will you get everyone to agree on one sound mod.
Besides that, I think it's just too much micromanaging. This "gentlemen's agreement" works.

Re: Server 2 MODS
QFT. Please don't impose a mandatory sound mod, I like what I like, others like what they like (even if there wrong Originally Posted by Sc[ + ]pe
