PR Airborne Gamemode Files

WallyJas · Post by **WallyJas** » 2008-01-20 12:47

Guys,

I put together some new gamemode files over the weekend, they are for five maps including Al Basrah, Battle for QinLing, Assault on Mestia and Kashan Desert.

I do not know how to create a self install that will put all the files in the right places so you will have to place them manually. I have included a brief readme (I hope it makes sense) to help those that are not sure what to do. Please find a link to the files below.

PR_Airborne_Gamemode.rar - FileFront.com

Basically I have just create a new gamemode and adding these to your PR folders will not alter your game in anyway. What I am hoping will happen is that when servers are running the new gamemode, it will show up in your online list and you'll be able to play the game. I have just received my licence so hopefully in the next few days I'll have a server in Oz up and running with the new gamemode. Between now and then, just create a local game and see what you think, I am very keen on feedback.

What I am trying to do is to take out alot of the big guns, so that the focus is on squad fighting, but with the excitment of aerial insertions.

Here is a rough run down on what I have done:

Al Basrah - I know this is a British Forces map but I feel it really would make the best LB map, so I have added 4 LB's and one LB gunship. There has been no change to the Insurgents.

Battle for Qinling - This is such a great chopper map. I have kept the Merlin, added one Apache and have also added two LB's. These LB's I have put in as 'place holders' for a hopeful apperance from the Lynx in the near future. PLA have kept most of their Nanjings, and a couple of their armour assets.

Assault on Mestia - This one I am not 100% sure about as the map may be a little too small for choppers. Anyway, It has 2 LB's (aka Lynx) as well as 2 Landrover's for GB and then only Technicals and Jeeps for Rebels, all armour has been taken out. It is a real low level ops mission map.

Kashan - I have taken out most of the armour for the MEC but they still have a few assets. The US have the Blackhawks, 1 Apache and 2 Hummers. I know this is a great armour map, but I also feel taking out the big guns it would make an excellet infantry map at the control points.

Anyway, I am hoping that the maps will be a hit and the dev's will include the new gamemode in the next release. As mentioned above, I would love feedback on what the players think and if/what changes they would like to see.

What do you mean with the following?

You are wanting to put the gpm_airborne folder from each map into the gamemodes sections for that map. So follow the mapping for the gamemode in the map folders in this download, in your PR map folder and then paste it in there.

Sorry, but I really don't understand what you mean!

Ok, I am hoping that you have BF2 installed in default location. If so then go to this folder:

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\levels\albasrah\server.zip\GameModes

Once you get there you will see another folder called gpm_cq. You want to paste the AlBasrah file gpm_airborne (that you have just downloaded) and paste it in there. Repeat for all the maps.

Also you will need to do similar for the menu folder.

I hope this makes a little more sense.

So on Qinling and Kashan you gave US and GB more choppers but not PLA and mec. Dosen't seem fair to me.

US and GB have choppers and the PLA and MEC don't you are right ..... but the MEC and PLA have more vehicles many of them with 50cal.

US and GB can move fast, but PLA and MEC have the firepower, it's an asymetrical battle.

Eah Ejod with helis it will be interesting

Any plans to have some maps with MEC/PLA having the airborne units while the US/UK are kept on the ground?

Anyway, seems like a good concept, might have to give it a go!

Interesting concept, but as Jonny said test it on a dedicated server and give us the updated files.
