[Map] PR:Falklands v0.182 Server Side Patch

[Rhino]

Hey guys,

I've tried my best to fix all the bugs and gameplay issues as best I can with just a server side patch and while I haven't been able to fix all of them, I have been able to fix more than I thought I would be able to though just a server side patch.

Quick Change Log of the bugs fixes and gameplay tweaks:

• Fixed the Argentine Deployable AA, wasn't deploying before.
• Fixed/Improved the Carrier Phalanx Guns and ZPU-4 AAA Guns from lagging the server when fired.
• Fixed bug where one could solo with the Scimitar.
• Made the Dagger and Mirage IIIEA (Anti-Ship Version Only) "bleed" when in critical damage, before you where able to fly back to main without issues even thou your jet had been on fire for the past 5mins.
• Increased Scimitar Delayed Spawn Time from 20 to 30 mins on AAS 128, 64, 32 & 16 layers.
• Drastically Reduced Jet Spawn Times on VW64 layer. Sea Harriers have a 15sec spawn time, Mirage IIIEA, IAI Daggers and A-4C Skyhawks have 10secs, Harrier GR3 (A [GPB] and C [Rockets]) and the A-1H Skyraider have a 1min spawn times and Harrier GR3 (B) with LGB and Mirage IIIEA with Anti-Ship Missile have 10min spawns.
• Increased the Max Nr. To Spawn of most Jets on VW64 layer so there is never a lack of them even on a 128 server, limiting factor is mainly how many you can move off from the spawn time now.

Note: Since this is a Server Side Patch only, as a Player (Client) you don't need to do anything more to get these fixes other than join a server running the most updated version of PR:F.

Server Admins: Please check the Server License CP Downloads area for the latest updates and apply them to your server.

This is however by far not the end of the road to fixing all the bugs and gameplay issues in PR:F. Some we may have to live with for some time but hopefully we will be able to fix some more with possibly another server side update, possibly even a client side update although we would like to avoid that if possible in the short run.



On a slightly unrelated note, since some players don't quite know where some of the rearm points are for the jets/choppers at the airbases/carriers here they are so everyone knows
Key:
Blue = Reloads Both Jets & Choppers
Red = Only Reloads either/or Jets / Choppers.

HMS Invincible:


Atlantic Conveyor:


Argentina, BAM Rio Grenade:


Pebble Island:


Port Stanley:



Hope you all like the tweaks and stay tuned for more updates!

Yay, no more lag cannon

But... have been tested situation when all harriers firing from their gunz simultaneously?

[Rhino]

The "Lag Cannons" haven't been 100% tested as we where not able to get 64 players in the test server to fully stress it out but with a 1/2 full server with around 32 players in it, it wasn't causing any lag but the real test for it has yet to come on a full server with lots of action going on.

Awesome! Thanks for your hard work Rhino!

[Arc_Shielder]

I assume you worked all night on this. Thanks Rhino.

[Predator.v2]

AwesomeRhino strikes back!

[DonDOOM]

Nice one, once again Rhino!

The "lag cannon" was probably the worst bug. Thanks for your awesome dedication!

I had to shout 'do not use gatling guns!!' every 5 min on the 100p server Amazing how much you were able to fix without the need for a new client release. I believe you covered all major bugs. Good work
