Winston DoRight 3 Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) For the final Early Birds session of July, I'd like to try Fortiesboy's new DM 1.1 Myself, Vasco and sitting duck connected with it today and I think it would be nice to get everyones opinion on it. The damage is quite readily seen and could be a lot of fun. You can get it here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=44688 Just make sure you have the hardcore damage model installed before installing and then just follow the instructions. Read the entire topic to make sure you understand the correct path to extract into. See you on Sunday, or sooner if you want to test it out.

I installed the new DM and played a little with it last night. It seems to me wings fly off of aircraft way to easy and to often. I know I'm not that good of a shot!

Vasco 3 Posted July 24, 2009 I installed the new DM and played a little with it last night. It seems to me wings fly off of aircraft way to easy and to often. I know I'm not that good of a shot! Check your gun settings - we found the 'stronger' setting was too much. Normal does it just fine. Vasco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themightysrc 5 Posted July 26, 2009 Hi, I might well be around for this evening's fun and frivolities. Because I've been out of circulation for a couple of weeks (hols, etc) can I ask that the workshop settings be spelled out for idiots like me? If we're using DM1.1, that's fine, but I don't know what other settings need changing, and having it all here on the page dealing with the session would make it more definitive and immediate. Can we do that, pretty please? Cheers, Si Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm on TS now if you want help to set it up and test it. Vasco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themightysrc 5 Posted July 27, 2009 Hi Chaps, Managed to get onto Teamspeak (I was the anonymous English voice who disappeared), but couldn't get onto Winston's server address despite various attempts to do so. Not sure what was going on there, given that I thought I'd followed all the correct steps, have OFF patched up (on Hard) and have the 1.1DM installed. Any ideas? It was terribly frustrating to hear you all shooting things (or getting shot down by the Albatros aces and indestructible Fokkers) without being able to lend a hand/be a liability... Cheers, Si Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vasco 3 Posted July 27, 2009 SRC, Jump onto TS this evening. I'll run through the setup with you and get things sorted. Vasco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themightysrc 5 Posted July 27, 2009 Hi Vasco, I'm a bit busy this evening, but will get on to TS if I can, otherwise I'll PM you for another time/date. Cheers, Si Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sitting_duck 3 Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) sorry,,,but i was the one hosting........and as such, guess it was my responsiblity to post that fact in the forum.. maybe we shouldnt get so far away from posting this info in the forums like we used to....... People who dont have teamspeak set up yet are going to still need it if they want to join mp games... And as introducing new players to mp is alway a prority, if we dont start posting some of these casual, unannouced games, they will not know they are up.

Winston DoRight 3 Posted July 27, 2009 ...... but couldn't get onto Winston's server address despite various attempts to do so........ Yes, that could have be a problem since I was not hosting sundays session. Due to lag and jitter issues we try to have someone host that is in a central location in the world, so some don't have to connect from too far away. Imagine a game with two players in the USA, one on the west coast and one on the east coast, and a player in the U.K. The UK player is hosting the game, and the east coast player has a connection latency of 120 to the UK. Because of the extra distance to the U.K. the west coast player has a latency of over 200. This makes for an unpleasant online session for the west coast player because the game problems, jitters, warping are more noticeable at higher latencys. The solution is to have the east coast player host the game because he is centrally located between the U.K. and the west coast. IP addresses are given out at the start of each game, and will probably be different than listed on the calendar, or if you pop on late just ask who's hosting and for their IP. Sunday's session was the most problematic we've ever had. It seemed that the program crashes and lockups were many this day as opposed to the occasional. Plus it was not fun to wait an hour after start time to begin playing. Most was due to the new damage model we were using and problems with how to get it working in the Vista OS. When this happens, PLEASE guys, do not offer help to Vista users if you're not actually using Vista yourself! This only adds to the extra time required to "try this" or "try that". People need to be familiar with their own OS to unzip, add, move, search, and delete files; or ask for help from other people with the same OS. An XP user is not going to have the right answers when it comes to Vista. We have both XP and Vista users that play regularly and use Fortiesboy's damage model, so it can be done. Anyone that is having problems connecting or setting up can get help on practically any day except game day. Please drop by teamspeak or PM sitting duck (XP), Vasco (Vista) or myself (XP) for a training session. We also had Big Jim join us this day. I don't think his first experience was a good one. He was used to multiplayer games that were designed to be multiplayer games. He's played Air Warrior and Aces High which were developed and tested with multiplayer in mind as opposed to OFF in which mulitiplayer was largely ignored during development and extensive testing was not done. No comparision here, and sorry about that, but we're making do with what we've got and hoping it doesn't get any worse! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
