PRMM 0.31 and BF2 1.3 STATUS UPDATE - May 27th

[eggman]

Hey Gents,

The bulk of any PRMM changes needed for BF2 1.3 compatability have been completed for a couple of days.

However we have a fairly major snag in how BF2 1.3 appears to handle game modes. We know that, right now without some form of external solution, BF2 1.3 will not allow a maplist with mixed game modes.

We were reconciled to release a PRMM patch with a note to server admins to just run a single game mode until further notice.

However we have hit another snag, as has the mod Battlefield Racer who uses an alternative game mode for their very cool racing mod... basically our game modes are not showing up properly in the BF2 1.3 server browser.It appears tob e something to do with our game mode menu items and the filtering if it on the browser, we still need to look into that and resolve it.

I am confident we can resolve it, but we're all a lil jaded on energy heeh.. it's important to us to get xtract working properly because we have made some minor changes we want to learn from.

Compounding this situation is that the site that BF2 developers most commonly use to exchange information has been under a DOS type attack and is now offline heh.

Right now it looks like PRMM fans with BF2 1.3 can play on BF2 1.3 servers, albeit with some known issues around the commander and squad leader menu items. PRMM fans with BF2 1.22 and can play on BF2 1.22 servers, so everybody can still enjoy PRMM, which is the most important thing!

Will update again once we make more progress, but I don't think there will be any 0.31 patch news until after the weekend, tho as soon as we release to test we'll post a 0.31 readme as a heads up on upcoming changes.

Thanks for your patience!
