Too many chefs in the kitchen!
« skrivet: 2011-11-07, 14:00:59 »
At the moment there are 17 server admins for the OG BF3 servers.  A few of us seem to be logging in and changing the server settings to suit our styles.  I'm guilty, I do that as I have a certain server setup I think rocks.  Clearly some of the other admins have their own ideas as they also change the settings.  I think it's time we all stopped doing that and just picked a set of server rules that everybody likes.  So this thread is for all BF3 playing Old Gents to get in and vote for the options they want.

Please note that I am talking about server #1 since server #2 is the softcore one that nobody really wants to play anyhow ^_^

Here is a list of the Game Play server options.  Copy and paste the list and write your selection next to the option to let us know how you like it.  In a weeks time Monday 14th November I'll total up all the replies and adjust the server accordingly and then the settings can be left alone!

Write Y or N for this list
Friendly Fire: Y
Killcam: N
Minimap: Y
Crosshair: N
Show name tags: Y
Regenerate health: Y
Show HUD: N
Spawn only on squad leader: N
All unlocks, unlocked: N
Vehicles: Y
3D spotting: Y
Minimap spotting: Y
Third person vehicle cameras: Y
Team balance: Y

Write number value for this one
Vehicle spawn delay: 2
Bullet damage: 100
Round restart player count: 2
Round start player count: 2
Soldier health: 60
Player man down time: 50
Player respawn time: 50

Here are the descriptions for most of those options.  The original list is from here although I did add some missing ones that were added for BF3 and I made some notes in bold:

  • Friendly Fire – when set, people can inflict damage on others in the same team.
  • Killcam – when set, a killed player gets to see a close-up of his/hers killer for a few seconds.
  • Minimap – when set, a minimap is available in the bottom-left corner of the screen during play. Note that with minimap disabled you also can't press M to open the large map in game.
  • Crosshair – when set, guns have crosshairs in the center of the screen.
  • Show name tags – when set, nametags are rendered over players’ heads in the 3D world. Note that this lets you see the names for both friendlies and enemies.  Good for knowing who you are about to knife!
  • Regenerate health – when set, health regeneration is enabled.
  • Show HUD – when set, the hud is present. Note that this is the bottom right health, gun and ammo display.
  • Spawn only on squad leader – when set, players can only spawn on the squad leader. Note that this absolutely sucks when enabled.  Can still spawn on the recons Squad Spawn Beacon.
  • All unlocks, unlocked - All players on the server get access to all weapons and unlocks.
  • Vehicles - Enable vehicles.
  • 3D spotting – when set, spotted targets are marked with icons in the 3D world. Note that when this is enabled you can see the red icon directly on enemy units which makes tracking jets and choppers better.
  • Minimap spotting - when set, spotted targets are marked with icons on the minimap.
  • Third person vehicle cameras - when set, 3rd person vehicle cameras are enabled.
  • Team balance - Auto balance the teams when the numbers are uneven.  Doesn't seem to be working.
  • Vehicle spawn delay – controls the delay between vehicle spawn; specified in percent (100% = normal). I set this to 2 so that vehicles spawn almost as soon as they explode.  Means no more hanging around the chopper pads!
  • Bullet damage – controls bullet damage; specified in percent (0-100%; 100% = normal).
  • Round restart player count – when a round is going, if the number of players drops under this number, the round will be aborted and the server moves back to pre-round. Note that there are problems when this or the "Round start player count" option are set to 1
  • Round start player count – when the server is in pre-round, it waits for this many players to be present until it proceeds to start the real round.  Note that there are problems when this or the "Round restart player count" option are set to 1
  • Soldier health – sets maximum soldier health, specified in percent (0 - 100%; 100% = normal; 60% = Hard core).
  • Player man down time - controls player man-down time; specified in percent (100% = normal).
  • Player respawn time – controls player respawn delay; specified in percent (100 % = normal).

 :stupid

but would support two changes:

Third person vehicle cameras: N
Player man down time: 25

The reasoning being that third person view sucks, and should game-wise be restricted to 16-bit computers. it negates the realism-aspect of a HC server by letting people see whats around their tank.
Player down time is a bit too long IMHO, and should be reduced. I halved it, perhaps it should be more, like 35?

Write Y or N for this list
Friendly Fire: Y
Killcam: N
Minimap: Y
Crosshair: N
Show name tags: N Makes it more HC
Regenerate health: Y
Show HUD: N
Spawn only on squad leader: Y Makes it more HC and ppl more likley to work as a squad.
All unlocks, unlocked: N
Vehicles: Y
3D spotting: Y
Minimap spotting: Y
Third person vehicle cameras: N I Totally agree with Rytm on this.
Team balance: Y

Write number value for this one
Vehicle spawn delay: 2
Bullet damage: 100
Round restart player count: 2
Round start player count: 2
Soldier health: 60
Player man down time: 50
Player respawn time: 50


And "Teamkill Counter limit" in the server settings should be set to No. This because the plugins "Team Kill Kicker" and "Kick Tracker with Temp Ban" replaces it and does the job better.


btw... the new forum look will rokk! GJ!  :thumb

Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is; never try.

These are EA's conditions for listing the server as hardcore:

#Hardcore
vars.autoBalance true
#vars.roundStartPlayerCount 8
#vars.roundRestartPlayerCount 4
vars.friendlyFire true
vars.killCam false
vars.miniMap true
vars.hud false
#vars.crossHair true
vars.3dSpotting false
vars.miniMapSpotting true
vars.nameTag false
vars.3pCam false
vars.regenerateHealth false
vars.vehicleSpawnAllowed true
#vars.vehicleSpawnDelay 100
vars.soldierHealth 60
vars.playerRespawnTime 100
vars.playerManDownTime 100
vars.bulletDamage 100
vars.onlySquadLeaderSpawn true


Variables marked with # may be changed without losing HC status, but these are the recommended values.

#vars.crossHair true
#vars.vehicleSpawnDelay 100

Then there are only these variables that we should vote on! And I would like to have these set:
#vars.regenerateHealth true
#vars.crossHair false


The other I have no opinion on at this moment.

Seems like there was an error in that documentation.
vars.regenerateHealth = false needs to be set for it to be listed as hardcore.

So the only setting we can change is for the crosshair to be on and off?  Great, loads of fun there then!

Screw making the server harc core compliant.  Let's just make it the best setup we ourselves like.

Well, it depends on if we want one server to be listed as Hardcore or not I guess.

Personally I like mjuuuuukis! :)
