Welcome @Cheyenne, and guten tag. Come play in COD5 DM2.

All should be at 100? So that means the 100 means 100% of the damage parameters set elsewhere? So in other words, 100% of the values Beers mentioned? These: set scr_wrm_shotgun "45" set scr_wrm_doublebarreledshotgun "25" If that's the case, we've got a lot of weapons running at 200% of their rated firepower! @2_MANY_BEERS - Where'd you get that book? That looks like a pretty handy reference!

I asked Labob if he was aware of any adjustments that had been made, he posted a bunch of stuff from one of the config files and said it was set at stock settings. You're actually a much better person to ask, though. Do you remember changing the setting at all?

Never did a poll before, so we'll see how (or if) this even works. So I understand there's been some flack in the servers about the accuracy and deadly nature of shotguns with grips. It has been determined that the shotgun weapon settings are STOCK, so apparently this is how a COD5 shotgun with a grip is supposed to behave. Now, I'm not one to prevent the masses from speaking up on the matter, and God knows I'm opening a big-ass can of worms even creating a pool like this, but what the hell, right? So, just for the sake of argument, and with absolutely no expectation that anything will change, do you think the shotgun with a grip should be reduced in "efficiency" of kill power?

Hello DM2'ers. A new set of rotations went in this morning. They are: small rotation mp_breakout, mp_fritzkrieg, mp_homeroom, mp_iceworld, mp_killhousev2, mp_kwanriver, mp_leningrad, mp_maquina, mp_republic_1, mp_pavlov, mp_villa medium rotation mp_78kitchen, mp_agx_depot1_night, mp_akushima, mp_ax_dawnville, mp_bf1942_berlin, mp_byalistok, mp_cav_slated, mp_cw_breakout, mp_dawnville, mp_dock_assault, mp_enigmaoff, mp_gits_harbor, mp_jsvacant, mp_louret, mp_montelimar, mp_nijmegen, mp_powcamp_n, mp_rb, mp_snr_matmata, mp_snrwcarentan, mp_toujane_rmk, mp_xfire_bay large rotation mp_82ab_nomonha, mp_airfield, mp_ax_brecourt, mp_bessie, mp_byalistok, mp_cabu, mp_contra, mp_cw_strasbourg, mp_foy, mp_hill78, mp_kwalajein, mp_malta2, mp_oldbrecourt, mp_provence5, mp_roundhouse, mp_silesia, mp_snr_st_mengs, mp_sps_xian, mp_sub, mp_ugcarena, mp_vm_river, mp_wolfsquare Enjoy! Kill 'ya later. Or visa versa more likely.

Probably fly right off a map that small. lol. @MARKOFFXI - did you set the boundaries right (and high)?

Is one of our servers a stock AceMod test environment?

Thank you. No clue when I can get to that, but...

@J3st3rXI - (sorry, this board doesn't alert me to messages in this thread unless you @ me) I'm a little worried about the Sears aspect, as I'm worried about their long term outlook at this point. That said, you're right. $200 for essentially the same guts is nothing to sneeze at. The link you gave is for an online purchase only, and they are offering free delivery to my zip code. What's even better is that they offer a $25 option to "haul away old item" which may just clinch that deal for me! Thanks for the heads up on this deal!

Here they are boys and girls. Your new DM2 rotations. Go play! small rotation mp_78bathroom, mp_asylum, mp_egn, mp_hospital, mp_killhouse, mp_koshiki, mp_little_town, mp_opera, mp_trainingcamp medium rotation mp_78hellcatraz, mp_agx_depot1, mp_agxstlo, mp_beuvron, mp_byalistok, mp_cassino5, mp_crossroads, mp_cw_trainwreck, mp_docks, mp_eindhoven2, mp_ict_stone, mp_kneeriver, mp_line_of_fire, mp_mohdv2, mp_nachtzug_2, mp_nightmare, mp_pds, mp_ravine_v1, mp_ship_n, mp_snr_carentan, mp_toujane, mp_wolftown large rotation mp_78rocket, mp_agx_assault, mp_armory, mp_bastogne, mp_burma, mp_byalistok, mp_city, mp_cw_hurtgen, mp_duong, mp_gtown44, mp_kiev, mp_lost_temple, mp_nighthound, mp_panzerschlacht_02b, mp_river, mp_shallowgrave, mp_storm, mp_trenchtoast, mp_vm_crash, mp_wdocks

I'd say it could go either way, but as it is a COD5 question, the COD5 forum makes the most sense, imho. It's fine if you realize you would rather post in another forum section, but go back to the original post and edit it to point to the one you really want to have the discussion in. Or if the edit timeout has elapsed, make an update post noting the discussion has move to [new discussion link]. No need to take the fall for this. It's not a beatdown or blame-game. Just a learning experience. Cary on.

This was on purpose. It was in 2 different forum sections. This one and the COD WAW forum. It's officially known as "cross posting" and is in an attempt to get a faster response by making the request visible in multiple places. It is absolutely discouraged everywhere.

What? Another post? People - PLEASE DO NOT CROSS POST. Just one is sufficient. More just duplicates effort and makes it confusing for people replying or trying to track an issue for their own benefit, too.

I'm going out on a limb here by saying that just installing what we have available here is going to get you to where you need to be. I seem to vaguely remember that there was one missing in the series, too, so probably 1.6 as you say. But I think the next one in the series is a "cumulative" update, so it also has whatever 1.6 has. If you just skip over 1.6, are you getting any errors installing the next one in the series? I just looked, and this is the list of patches I have here on my system. Do they match the set you have? I believe I got them from our Downloads page. Let me know it you need any of them. And have patience because I'm not around during the work day, and this website will not permit upload of much of anything other than image files, so we'd have to work out an alternative way to get files to you if you need any.

@J3st3rXI - I continue to move closer to making a purchase here, but ran into a little snag. The Cub Cadet you recommended for just under $1k is a 28". My Ariens is a 20". That got me thinking about what width I have to play with in my 1-car garage. 28" ain't gonna fit. 24" I'm sure I'd be okay with. Would your recommendation change if I dropped down to 24" or would this be a good purchase too? Thanks for your thoughts.

Welcome to XI

Welcome aboard the XI Titanic, new Idiot.

At long last I've loaded up a new rotation on the Low Gravity server! Sorry it's taken so long, but I am going to try to roll it into my weekly routine. Get on in there and feel so much lighter on your feet. I think some of you need that. It's a wicked-fun server! The new rotation features these maps. mp_13_townville mp_78druglord mp_78shipwreck2 mp_82ab_siegfreid mp_agx_burgundy mp_agxstlo mp_ambush mp_armory mp_bahnhof mp_bellicourt mp_bf1942_berlin mp_bridge mp_caen_night mp_chateau mp_contra mp_ctrain mp_cw_hill mp_cw_strasbourg mp_derailed mp_dogville mp_duong mp_farmhouse2 mp_frenchvillagen mp_gits_terminal mp_hhk_yokora mp_hurtgen mp_kalsville mp_kwanriver mp_little_village mp_mohaa_dv mp_newhurtgen mp_nuenen mp_panzerfact mp_pavlov_h mp_pds mp_railyard mp_rb mp_river mp_rocket mp_sfrance_nite mp_snr_arnhemwt mp_snr_treblink mp_southside mp_storm mp_tge mp_trenchtoast mp_villa mp_warlord mp_winter_crash mp_xi_jordan5 mp_yomi

@AthenA - It's a mod for WAW, and a really good one at that! Go in and check it out.

Thanks, @HarryWeezer. The solution would be to 1) get NFO to drop their disk space constraints, or 2) switch to a game server hosting company that doesn't have disk space constraints. This is the first game server hosting company we've been with (to my knowledge) that has ever imposed a disk space quota on us. Why we are staying with them is above my pay grade. But that said, you may recall a few of the server hosts we've had in the past that were pretty shitty, so there's that. I guess it is what it is.

At long last, new rotations are in on DM2. They are: Small Rotation mp_agx_castle, mp_bridge, mp_hgy_c, mp_kauten, mp_little_town, mp_maquina_viet, mp_pmcod, mp_remagen, mp_xi_arena Medium Rotation mp_78deadsville, mp_agx_ameland, mp_agx_market, mp_altered, mp_argentan_n, mp_bellicourt, mp_broadcast, mp_byalistok, mp_courtyard, mp_cw_rocket, mp_dinant, mp_dug_in78, mp_frenchvillagen, mp_hunt_winter, mp_lao_cai, mp_mohaa_dv, mp_newvillers, mp_paresu, mp_ratskitchen, mp_rostov, mp_tankhuntwaw, mp_waw_burgundy Large Rotation mp_78junobeach, mp_aa_vosges_fr, mp_byalistok, mp_ballpark, mp_boulogne, mp_castle, mp_cw_brecourt, mp_downfall, mp_gits_tanks, mp_industrial, mp_lolv2, mp_newhurtgen, mp_panzerfact, mp_renan_bridge, mp_sfrance_nite, mp_southfrance5, mp_stanjel, mp_townville2, mp_vm_brecourt ENJOY!

The maps are all consistent as of the time they were put in rotation. There is another post on why COD5 rotations are on hold. Probably an issue with the host if resetting the server fixed the problem.

I think it's about time we address this elephant in the room. Q: Why haven't the rotations on the COD5 DM2 server changed lately? A: The redirect server is not permitting FTP access is why? Q: WTF is a "Redirect server"? A: It's the server that dishes up maps to players who don't have them on their local copy of COD5 so they can play in them. It is a separate server from the actual game server itself. The game server could serve up the map, too, but you wouldn't want that to happen because the map would be long over by the time the game server got through sending it to you. The Redirect server is mad-fast at sending maps to you. Thing is, the map files on the Redirect server have to be in sync with (exactly match) the map files on the game servers otherwise bad things happen. Servers crash and go boom and shit like that. Q: So what? Aren't they already in sync? A: Nope. Q: Why TF not??? A: Because the game server hosting company will only allow us to have so many maps on the server at a time. So that means that weekly (or however often a Server Admin decises to change a set of maps) we have to go in and copy a bunch of map folders (the new rotation set) from the redirect over to the game server, change the server map rotation configuration to start using the new maps, then delete all the last rotation's maps off the game server. Since we cannot gain FTP access to the Redirect server at this time, there is no way for us to copy a new rotation's set of map folders over to the game server. Q: Can't you work around this some way? A: Possibly, like using my local copies of the maps here on my computer, but it is more prone to error, and not something I would recommend to Server Admins. To my knowledge, most admins are copying down from the Redirect to their local computer and then copying up to the game server. An easier, more direct method is to use "Beyond Compare", a program that allows copying directly from one FTP server to another. Q: Dude! Why don't you bite the bullet and use the workaround? A: I didn't think it would take over two weeks to fix this! But XI EU-fest and apparently a crisis in another game has taken priority. At this point, I'm hopeful we can fix the situation sooner than later. The longer this takes, the closer we are to a solution, right? Today? Tomorrow? Gotta be soon, right? Sorry for the delay.

@J3st3rXI - Hmmm. Sounds like a donation to the high school machine shop might be the best option here. I'll list it for $40 and see if it moves, but it sounds like I better not get my hopes up. Not sure I would have room for a new one if I don't get rid of this one first. Space is that tight in my garage. I really need a shed, but that's another $2k or so. Sadly, I'm not that rich. THANK YOU for your help!
