Re: new settings on server 2

Server 2 is still hiccuping after a couple of maps have been played. I'm trying to nail it down as quickly as possible. Thanks for your patience.

Update on server 2 crashes.

OWP confirmed that there is a problem with version 1.5.3 running unranked, as we have it on S2. This is why server 1 doesn't have this problem even though it's the same version. They will be making a fix for the next version. Here's the reply from OWP:

I have added some checks... The problem is probably caused by a
synchronization issue between the showPerks() and hidePerks() functions.

All changes have been committed to SVN and they will be part of 1.5.4.

For now, I will enable more perks to see if I can narrow it down. If this doesn't help, the server will get switched to ranked, like server 1.

Thanks again for your patience while this gets worked out.

Well, Bronco and I did some more testing with very limited perk restrictions and we still got the server to crash so it's back to ranked like server 1. That means Create a Class is back and everything is available as far as weps and perks go. We'll just have to wait and test the next version before we can limit those things.

I'll be testing the server this afternoon so it may be offline from time to time.

Thanks for sorting that out, Drona. Here's to the next release...

Do the OWP guys know anything about the lack-of-claymores issue?

**P.Drona** · 03-22-2009, 08:17 PM

They say the problem doesn't exist...sort of. I'm in contact with them and trying to get a solution.

From what I have noticed, concerning the claymores, is that if you change to your claymore kit before you spawn for the next round, you get your clays. Most of the time, if you change kits after you have spawned (even during the strategy period) you will not get your clays.

That just makes my Clay Akin. :-)

Booooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! Hissssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!

**Mediator** · 03-24-2009, 06:24 PM

That was funny and you know it! Okay it was a tad bit funny but definitely very Punny.

Concerning the settings on server 2. I have noticed that now the game displays who killed you with what weapon, in what body location and the range of the kill shot. If possible, I would like that feature turned off and here is my reasoning.

I noticed yesterday that Moses was owning my n00b butt as per usual (I would like to go on record, stating that I am not accusing Moses of anything except for being way better at the game than I am). After each kill, I kept getting more frustrated and discouraged. Now, I don't know if I am the only person that feels this way after getting constantly owned by a superior player but, wouldn't it be better to remove at least the players name from the kill summary? This way, it would be "a member of the enemy team pwned you with a sniper rifle shot to the head at 1000 yards". I think that one change would keep me (and others like me) from tossing my monitor out the window in a fit of pique.

Of course, if I am the only person that likes this idea, please feel free to call me "Nancy boy" and ignore my post.

Another setting I would like to see on the server is showing when you have been TK'd. I was TK'd several times yesterday, and my teammates didn't even know it. I was getting kinda tired of telling them at the beginning of the next round, "Hey _____, watch your fire, you TK'd me." Their response was usually.... "what? I didn't know I TK'd you."

I really don't see how people have such a hard time figuring out their own teams uniforms....... they are quite different, and most of the time, they are completely opposite colors from eachother.

Please watch your fire folks. TY

That's not the frustrating one. The frustrating one you're thinking of is: "a member of the enemy team pwned you with a P90 shot to the head at 1000 yards".

Also, has anyone noticed how the game's metres are crazy small? Either that or all the SAS and Spetsnaz guys are all like 8 feet tall. If I'm standing right next to a bomb-site, the compass says I'm like 5m from it!

I'd agree with vir2l's suggestion only if it can hide the message from everyone but the TKer and TKee. Or at least hide it from the opposing team. I like counting confirmed kills to let me know how many enemies are left. I don't want that as a crutch.

That would be me. You would think I would learn and not depend on the tags showing up.

I agree with this but I'm not sure how we can do it. I'll get with Drona and see if he can manage it.
