Orford have you tried yet using the setnext function instead of a dedicated maplist in 0.966? Dunno but maybe they fixed some of the crash-related causes. Only an idea to prevent a rather dull order of maps over and over again.

[Orford]

Something unusual happened yesterday at peak gaming time (18:00 PRT). Your AAS server died for some reason, people were disconnecting on Jabal and when the map switched to Kozelsk it died alltogether. Right now there's more people playing the mod hence the new release and when time goes by less people will be playing the game. You guys now have two different servers which are both populated at good times but most of the times only the 2nd server is up and running, almost everytime it's the insurgency one.

Are you planning to put in only the mixed one at some point in the future if both servers are not populated at proper gaming times? If this comes true can we have more AAS maps in the maplist aswell.

Thats why we are running all maps all layers over 2 servers. So we can update our database, Had a good round of burning sands last night right after Muttra which was also a great round.

We had a few CTD at the same time then Kozelsk came on we had alot drop out on map load. Only a few didnt get dropped they seen how many was left got the Kozelsk feeling and left.

As you know when a server crashes a few will wait for it to come back up. But with the new version alot of servers are running that normally dont. So players think "oh the server has crashed" and go back to the server list and join a half full server.

The servers are set to AAS and insurgentcy at the moment so we can run as many of the new maps and layers as we can so every one gets a feel for them. We will be running AAS with some ins maps to break it up a little and the other server will be ins with the odd AAS. Once every one has settled and know what maps they like and what play well on what layer/loadout.

Like I said in my other post we have kept a large log of what maps runs well after other maps and what map combo causes dead creen loading and crashes mid game. As you know our server crashes alot less than it used to.

You may think the map list is boaring but you can play all day with out crashing mid game. We put Gaza after falujha crash 80% of the time. Put jabal after Al basra dead screen load. 40% of the time.

Also the Kozelsk effect some maps players just dont like and dont want to play. How much !shownext do you see near the end of a round then ppl leave when they see Iron ridge coming on. We look at player turn over as well. How many leave between rounds what was the map and what is the map loading after it. How many left?

This thing you think is easy running a gaming server takes alot of work so all you guys get a well admined game server that crashes infrequantly with maps that 99% of the players like.

Brainlagg the !setnext !save increases the chance of crashes. Once we know what maps run well after each round we will then move onto testing !setnext. But that causes not the next map but the map after that to dead screen on loading 40% of the time.

All % are a estimate.

I was mainly reffering to Soppas idea with the public vote for the next map. And as far as I have seen the Sisu server doesn't crashes any more often than standard 64 servers. I might ask him if he changed any server settings to prevent crashes with this kind of system.

[Orford]

yeh, we have a server feed back section on our forum for map list suggestions. I think the high spec of the hardware has some thing to do with it. Our server is a i7 930 8gb ram. I belive the sisu server is aslo high spec and running on a dedie box with only a couple of game servers. would be good to find out.

[Anazuke]

I don't think that i mentioned anything about server crashes whatsoever. It's stable server thanks for that.

Please for the love of God do NOT allow a public map vote for the following map, this will only lead to childish arguments and there's already too many of them as it is.

You are right smiley and we have no intention of going down that road.

NwA server was awesome. Untill...

you decided to get two servers. Now both are bloody epic. We really enjoy playing on your server, although we'd personally like it if mumble would be enforced a bit more.

Greetings Sander93 and the Zors.

[Orford]

Thanks Xander.

@Smiley

No chance of a map vote tried that once, wasnt pritty. I refferd to sugestions. If some one has an idea of a few maps and loadout layers to try then come a long and ask. Any one is welcome to our forums and ask or discuss any thing they want, so come along and say high. Also for 4 GBP you can get a reserve slot on our server.

Why isn't the 'All players must be on Mumble' rule no longer enforced?

Never has been.We prefer you to use mumble. Until we can cross ref who is in game and who is/isnt on mumble its a admin nightmere.

[bessert]

It was never enforced .

Oh, okay. I'm sure I've seen people being kicked for not being on mumble, though.

[Orford]

IF some one is in mumble and we have player afk and ask to kick a idle player for a mumble user then yes we would kick if we can.

Although this is true, I've seen a couple of famous servers being little affected by the new release. NwA only draining menace might be the 128 Sisu server on the weekends, sometime in a very near future.

It's amazing how far they've grown, even since I was complimenting them a couple of months ago. Clearly the best server for me atm.

[Souls Of Mischief]

Looks like NwA admins ban you on the forums if you want to clarify something with an admin who is abusing his powers...

Nickname is ParanoidMoron, could an admin take a look at this? Would be much appreciated.

I have checked and you are not banned on our forum but on our servers yes..

I found your ban, Your appeal was denined.

A quote from your ban appeal.

" Even if I did say anything racist, I am deeply sorry, unfortunetly I was not sober yesterday. Usually I can control myself and behave properly. Again, I am sorry and IF I did say anything racist I deserve this ban."

Enough said goto. http://www.nwa-clan.com if you want to disscus further. Its just a game relax a little.

Yeah, I know it was denied, not trying to appeal it again. Problem is, an admin (speedhound is his nickname) said I did get enough warnings for abusing players, griefing, shooting in main. Deal is, I only got ONE warning for abusing players, which I did not. I did abuse ONE guy by calling him an idiot, because he spawned on an unknown cache, his nickname had jelly in it. Then a clan told me they did not spawn on the cache, implying that I abused them. Which I did not. Also I was not griefing, I did not TK anyone, I did not force TK anyone, I did not stole any vehicles. Yes, I did shoot in the main with another guy immedialty after that I was temp banned. Yes, I hoped on mumble and was racist, I admit it and I deserve the ban. I just don't understand why am I falsely being accused of griefing? I did contact speedhound TWICE, yet I did not recieve any e-mail even though 2 week had passed since the first PM, now I can't log on.

[ukVandal]

Speedhound is a stand up guy. If you had not done anything wrong then he would not have tem banned you simples.

Yes, I did shoot in the main with another guy immedialty after that I was temp banned. Yes, I hoped on mumble and was racist, I admit it and I deserve the ban

As far as we are concerned the above is the closing statement in this discussion.

Server Demos are now fixed for the new servers.

Goto our home page and follow the link to download any round of PR you want.

Dont forget the user name is either demos aas or demos ins depending on the server demo you want.
