Yeah its one of the:

- Just joined a server
- Its barely full ( 3v3 )
- New player hops in A10 and proceeds to bomb.... nothingness... ( even though I give him targets of hostiles on rooftops )

Yeah I don't like headless chicken mode, my favorite moments are those true blue, giving ammo the the H-AT, manning the tank squad, flanking a flag kind of moments :P

I don't really enjoy the .... well what now ( Operation Pheonix GO GO GO mentality )

we have a private server we cold use for the PR community
in addition to the regular PF server

right now it called Pucker Factor Movie server
but we couls make it whatever needed with a map rotation you guys like

Gloryhoundz South needs to come back, and IGI needs to go back to a 48 player sever.

40-48 player servers is where PR shines. v.31-v.32 FTW. Best days of PR to me.

Sounds good. This has been done in the past with mixed success. Gloryhoundz server with password on the Forums. It's really hard to keep it populated and password protected. But the population is larger than when this was last done, it should work better / longer.

and if the password get leaked, its no problem changing it ;)

so... what rotation do you gus want on the server?
one round per map, all maps?
I will put the vote on with a low ammount of people required to vote so that If Im not there you will be able to chage the maps if you don't like the current one ;)

sicne its only 1 map should I include xtract maps too?

I really like playing on the TG server.. best teamplay and the majority use microphones (PR's wet dream).. But as posted above, somtimes the server acts really funny and you get that votekicked/adminkicked message, lol when did that happen?

This problem seems random (sometimes it lets me play then 2 hours later when I try agian it won't let me) Hope it gets fixed.. This only happens on TG

It's just that there's 2 reserved slots.

Unfortunately the lazy gits can't be arsed changing the message as far as I can tell, causing people to think they've been banned.

There's a link in the original post that gives reasons why you might be seeing this message. It mainly has to do with some custom scripts we run.

If that link doesn't make sense, then shoot me a PM.

Can you not change the message?

That message is a stock EA message that we aren't able to change. We wish we could but so far have not found a solution.

No. That's the one hiccup with the logic and something we've had to live with. We've been trying to find ways around it ever since we put the script in place over a year ago.

That's a real strange one. I always thought it was someone who couldn't be bothered changing it to 'you don't have a reserved slot...' :p

Hehe.

If a player has been in-game and eventually removed, then we use punkbuster for the kick and it should give a better message. The problem comes about when a player tries to join a full (62/64) server. They are kicked before punkbuster can deal with it. :-(

Ahh good to know :p so it's 61 players (one spot left) when it hits 62, kind of full server..

yeah, and to go further into the way the server works, at 62 players once a supporting member joins in it kicks the person who's been in the longest once that person gets the boot the player count stays at 62...................
