Project Reality and EA's Euro Forces

Post by **eggman** » 2006-03-26 17:20

Hey Gents,

Right now PRMM 0.25 is incompatible with EA's Euro Forces booster pack. With the help from folks within the PR gaming community we've narrowed down why (thanks da.Spawn).

We're going to make some changes with PRMM 0.3 that should fix this incompatability problem.

Those changes should go into testing within the next week or so. Once we verify that they work, we'll make a more "formal" announcement / commitment to Euro Forces compatability.

Sorry for the inconvenience to those of you who have Euro Forces and want to play it in "Reality mode".

Sorry for making such a fuss about modding EuForces to work in "reality mode".

Question if you are adding support for EuFOrce does that mean you will be modding the weapons physics, sounds ectr. like you did with .25

Wow Rhino someone hates Euforce. The main reason i want Project reality compatiblity is to play regualr PR and Eurofrce PR on the same servers untill full PR1.0 comes out when i can play that and POE2 only.

Yeah .. I should be clear.... we're not planning to MOD EF, just so that if you own EF you can play the maps in rotation on a PR modded server without the game crashing.

The issue that's causing this is relatively minor to fix and we neded to fix it anyways. I just don't want to commit 100% to it working until we've done it and tested it.

Rhino there will be a monoirty of servers that run both map types so just find one that doesn't run both map types and you won't be kicked.

Yeah I think this is going to be a very minor few folks that want to play these maps and are willing to shell out $10 for a mini-mod.

The maps are REALLY good .. almost as good as Rhino's

I really don't see why you are doing this.

But if there will only be a minority of servers running this "fix"

Like Rhino said, the only thing going for it is the new statics. Even with the current statics, better maps can be made.

Why people with PR bought Euroforce, is beyond me.

I know some of the devs got it, to see if there is any new coding, engine features etc, but thats alright

I want be wasting my money on EuroFarce. Seems silly to split the PR community up for no reason other than a few **** maps.

Heh.. honestly guys you are making a much bigger deal of this than I think you need to be. The chage is trivial and one we were going to make anyways (but with BF2 modding until I see it work, I won't commit to it working heh).

I just posted about it because a few people have asked questions about this.

If people buy EF, great. If people want to play PR with EF, great. Right now they can't and it should be very easy for us to fix it in the next release.

I *really* don't think we're talking about splitting a community in half here... we're talkin about 1 or 2 servers that will run it where they are likely going to have a known player base who knows to have EF installed.

Again it's not that big a deal for us to fix and I don't see why we wouldn't make a minor change that let's people play the mod with other content they like.

Jaysus.... was just trying to let some folks know we are aware of the issues and will probably fix them with 0.3. Cut the hyperbole filled discussion about splitting communities and the potshotting EA bashing please.

Wow eggman you have a talent for explaining the situation in very few words. And anyway the reason i wanted to do this is beacuse i wanted to use the ef weapons with PR settings not to split the community up or anything like that.

I lol at EA's pathetic attempts at the euro weapons
take this ea!

I know you like EA bashing, but the only reason and I repeat the only reason for doing this is to temporialy play EuForce PR style until the full PR comes out. When the full PR comes out I will probaly stop playing EuForce and play PR only. EuForce does have a more varied weapon selection such as the H&K 5A3,Famas and H&K21. Although PR weapons will be better. I agree with Eggman you are making way to big a deal out of this.

I have to sit on the fence with this subject, I see the valid points that Rhino is making and I beleive they are VERY valid, PR is so awsome why are people wasting their money on EF? And I find it really reallllllly hard to beleive EA actually put together good maps, after seeing what Rhino puts together, I giggle when I play some of the vanilla maps. But I'll take eggmans word for it.

At the sametime, PR servers are such low numbers, and playing EF you know the servers will be full and there wil always be people playing, and of course if you like euroforce AND pr, then why wouldnt you want to see them together.

All in all I dont like seeing any split in the community no matter how small it is, that is, until the community is very vast =D
