Battlefield 3 Server

[Dog Pants]

Cycle is set to alternate between one Conquest map and two Rush (one attack, one defend). Conquest ticket limit is set to 80% to make the rounds a bit quicker.

The server has one rule: Don't be a dick. Being a dick constitutes behaviour which is pissing everyone else off - smack-talk, base rape, vehicle stealing etc. This goes double for admins, as we are the ones who can kick other people for being dicks. Feel free to ban the obnoxious ones.

Current map cycle is as follows:

• Conquest - Operation Firestorm
  Rush - Grand Bazaar
  Conquest - Noshahar Canals
  Rush - Seine Crossing
  Conquest - Kharg Island
  Rush - Caspian Border
  Conquest - Davamand Peak
  Rush - Noshahar Canals
  Conquest - Operation Metro
  Rush - Davamand Peak
  Conquest - Grand Bazaar
  Rush - Teheran Highway
  Conquest - Seine Crossing
  Rush - Operation Firestorm
  Conquest - Caspian Border
  Rush - Kharg Island
  Conquest - Teheran Highway
  Rush - Operation Metro

Hooah!

Have to say I'm enjoying the 32 player Rush and Conquest maps more than the gigantic open plan ones.

[HereComesPete]

Weewah woowah!

Does this include the reversal of map so defenders get to attack (and vice versa) and see if they're better or worse?

[Dog Pants]

Yeah, the two rounds/map switches it then moves on. Not that big a deal in Conquest, I can try to drop it to 1 round per map for those if need be. Conquest is generally more popular though so I'd say best to leave it as is for now.

[Dog Pants]

Made all conquest maps small and 1 round for more fight.

[buzzmong]

I love the big two round conquest maps.

[Dog Pants]

It can always be changed back. I thought that with at least the first couple of maps small it might feel better while we get people in.

[Thompy]

Is there any way to shuffle through the maps? Currently it resets back to the beginning of the list as soon as the server is empty. Even if we get the server fuller more of the time it might be unlikely that we get to play the maps near the bottom and it'll get a bit repetitive.

[Dog Pants]

You can with Procon. Don't know if there are console commands for it.

[buzzmong]

There's a new server tool out from the chaps at i3d.net. Might be worth investigating if it's better than Procon. DICE mods posted about it on the official forums.

[Dog Pants]

It's a bit more of a fancy GUI than Procon, but that also makes it a bit less easy to read. Other than that it seems to be pretty similar. Personal preference will be the only difference I imagine.

Battlefield3 Procon app is now available in app store for Ipods, Iphones and such.

$3? Yeah I'll just alt-tab out to admin stuff thanks.

Rah! Looks like Cackhand is now live!

My boss is on one server, 64 players with 18 in the queue for it

Do we need to do anything to get these new maps on our sever? Just checked and they aren't on there yet.

I'd wait a few days till Dice fix the content unlock issues.

Not that we'll be using the server until the weekend anyway.

FWIW, it worked fine for me today.

[Dog Pants]

Fuck, they seem to have charged me again despite my card expiring. Although no money has left my account, so maybe it won't come out. I didn't know how to cancel so I just left them to fail to take the money and cancel it for me, but I have an invoice. Oops. So I've raised a ticket and hopefully they'll cancel and not charge me. Failing that I hope I can block the payment with my bank.
