We have a battlerecorder running now. Quality should be 5.

I will try to make sure it gets added to the OP.

My experience on FCV the last 3 nights have been exactly the same

1. Load in the server, play the rest of whatever map is going..
2. Vote happens..
3. End on on either Kashan/Burning Sands/Khami
4. Next Vote admins put another 4km sand map in the selection
5. Of course it wins, (assets are fun right?)
4. Sit in the desert for 3 hours while one team gets destroyed by 200 tickets
5. Finally vote in an 2km map *after incessant complaints*
6. Server crashes on load or 10minutes in

Exactly the same, 3-4 nights in a row. (2 crashes on ia drang, 1 on gronzy and tonight again on kozelsk)

At the hours i play, the teams are completely dishevelled, half the server speak another language, many without mics, barely any individuals who can actually lead a squad. Add these huge asset maps in the mix and it just amplifies the problem.

Map votes are inherently flawed. Say the vote is - Kashan - Kozelsk - Nuijama

People who want to do a more infantry focused battle are divided between 2 maps, splitting their votes. While people who want to do tanks, jets etc are all piling on Kashan. People who do assets are also much more likely to vote, as they are more often than not veteran players. (also more likely to suggest maps when asked by admins...)

The server suffers, the matches are uneven, the bulk of the playerbase enjoys limited action.

I also don't know why you bother running AAS - INS votes - i'd love to see how often INS wins. It hasn't ever happened whilst i've been playing on your server.


I wouldn't be having a whinge if this didn't happen every single night, in an identical matter.


I'm not asking for a removal or votes, or a removal of 4km sand maps.. just more thought from admins when selecting maps or conducting votes.

Thank you Yak. Alot of these issues are fixable and are being worked on. Some are more tricky but I guess we can make an effort to teach our playerbase english.

You are absolutely correct and Ive told this to others, we are taking steps to correct the map selected.

Create a new folder in Documenets/projectReality/Profiles/default

And make one called demos

Put the files there.

This wasn't the passive aggressive, victim blaming, or straight denial response i was expecting. Too much time browsing a particular servers feedback thread i guess.

thanks for putting effort into improving your server!

Passive aggressive behaviour does not make problems go away. Not to mention you guys usually play as infantry and it would be backwards to try to give you guys who contribute so much to the gameplay on the server a negative experience.

We seem to keep changing it up all the time due to us working on the server backend for 2 weeks now.

I will try to make blue edit the OP with the link.

I hope that is fine.

Sooo easy to do the configuration...

set apache to /home/webserver and create subfolders like
pr_public/server01/demos
pr_public/server02/demos

and configure every server to send the file on your respective folder. Or you can share the same demos folder with all servers like:
pr_public/battlerecorder/demos
I only know that I know nothing. Só sei que nada sei. Sólo sé que no sé nada. So solo di non sapere nulla. Tantum scio me nihil scire. Je sais seulement que je ne sais rien.

Index of /pr/1/demos/

These are the two Battlerecorder location for FCV 1 and FCV 2. I will rename the other server to make sure you understand which server is which, but you should get it.

Project Reality plan Fall 2016
Hello all!

I would just like to inform everyone of my plan for the Project Reality division of this community for the immediate future.

As you know we have 5 servers for Project Reality.

Free Candy Van 1 [New Server]
Free Candy Van 2 [Tactical Raid]
Free Candy Van 3 [WW2]
Free Candy Van 4 [Events]
Free Candy Van 5 [Training]



Free Candy Van 1 [New Server]
Free Candy Van 2 [Tactical Raid]

My plan for the 2 first is to get admin teams sorted, and organize them to focus on enhancing gameplay experience and behaviour for the server.

Behaviour?
As you all probably have heard, a lot of people call our server cancer and such, that is something we need to turn around. Regardless I am not going to let what I feel are void arguments sway me, if someone just generically tells me the server is bad, without giving specific feedback I will ignore it and probably ban the player.

This is also something you might not know, but player behaviour will be considered, although vocal behaviour won't be as scrutinized since it is rather backwards not allow banter or prove "X was said". We will be checking chat comments and players writing things in a certain manner to others. This includes offensive statments to both players, general squads or the admin team.

We do appreciate direct suggestions to how something could be done better, which perhaps we didn't know about. This includes suggestions to strategy ingame, admin policies, commands that might affect player behaviour or suggestions on server stability.

Gameplay
We feel that the one thing we know can improve gameplay easily on our servers is a squad leader who can squad lead well. We will cater for infantry squad leaders mainly and hopefully they will report and deal with any players that do not use microphones or is unable to follow orders or break rules.

This effort will take time since it requires a lot of building of getting clans and individuals interested in squad leading on our server. Further than that we are also hoping the player skill will increase although the measures we will take to gain that is still work in progress. I have yet to decide if I want to organize training sessions, events or just enforce some sort of training scheme.

Events
I am thinking about getting a competitive small scale skirmish tournament in the works for the community. This could potentially improve the playerbase, and bring a lot of activity to our community. I also see the official Project Reality Tournament is in the works so if you havent already check out this forum; Project Reality Tournament

I have not been working on scenario sundays, I have simply delegated that to someone else, we will see what that person comes up with.

I am working on certain days in the week having a specific maplist with an atmosphere related to it, be it a certain player, clan or idea that we use for that maplist on that day.

Free Candy Van [WW2]
We are planning an event for this server, it is almost ready, I just need to sort some images and such to get it rolling. Hopefully we can get some fun in france!

Free Candy Van 4 [Events]
The DRK community has custom map tools, I have yet to be able to sort that out so until further notice this service is inactive until the time I can put time and effort to start it up again. I will inform you all of that, but do not expect custom maps until the winter.


Free Candy Van 5 [Training]
If you are interested, we are running a training server the password is training1
We are running this map: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f354-c ... eased.html

We are looking into the air map, but really we have enough CAS whores as it is! I am considering it though. The server has been edited to allow for alot of custom kits per team; IE you can request a HAT kit even if you are the only player in the team or squad. But the limit is 10, so I might up that to 20.

Ending notes
A lot of my ideas and plans are being put into an endless postponement due to repeating technical issues relating to our servers. The technical issues are obviously related to making my job easier, since we want to automate certain aspects of our services so I do not have to remove bans and fetch chat logs on a daily basis, I don't want to spend time doing that. But the implementation of all the systems, Battle Recorders, chatlogs, hashkeys, banlists, admin permissions and addition and player name searching is causing our server to have some issues at times.

I wish I could just have a perfect system from the get go, but really I am appreciating of the time our system admin team is putting into the server. Hopefully we will have a more permanent system in place soon.

All in all I feel the server is moving ahead nicely, and I have a good idea of what needs to be done to have momentum. Here is hoping you guys are all here for the long haul :)

See you in the field!
