Removing Artillery

[iclozm]

I'm familiar with modding maps back in DC/1942 and its my understanding thats its fairly similar to BF2.

I'm in the TWL 5v5 ladder and there has been a ton of controversy regarding artillery in a 5v5 INF only setting. Artillery from the commander is strictly prohibited and results in an automatic map disqualification.

Is there a way from a modding standpoint to circumvent this by either:

A) Disabling the artillery button on the command interface?
b) Simply removing the artillery form the map?

Any help or suggestions would be phenominal.

Re: Removing Artillery

Removing the arty server side is easy.
Open the server.zip
extract the gamemodes\gpm_cq\map size you want\GamePlay_objects.com

dont change the

rem [ObjectSpawnerTemplate: CPNAME_object]
ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner CPNAME_object
ObjectTemplate.activeSafe ObjectSpawner CPNAME_object
ObjectTemplate.modifiedByUser admin
ObjectTemplate.isNotSaveable 1
ObjectTemplate.hasMobilePhysics 0
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 ARS_D30
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 USART_LW155
ObjectTemplate.minSpawnDelay 360
ObjectTemplate.maxSpawnDelay 360
ObjectTemplate.teamOnVehicle 1

or the map will crash.

find the lines

rem [ObjectSpawner: CPNAME_object]
Object.create CPNAME_object
Object.absolutePosition 784.000/171.478/69.000
Object.rotation 0.000/0.000/0.000
Object.setControlPointId 1
Object.layer 1

and rem the lines i.e


rem [ObjectSpawner: CPNAME_object]
rem Object.create CPNAME_object
rem Object.absolutePosition 784.000/171.478/69.000
rem Object.rotation 0.000/0.000/0.000
rem Object.setControlPointId 1
rem Object.layer 1

then re pack and there will be no arty.
Clients will need to do nothing as its server side.

I have changed "CPNAME_object" but it should be obvious from this.



Hope it helps.

Re: Removing Artillery

Just do this on the artillery objects if you are trying to edit an existing map in the gameplayobjects.com file

BEFORE:

ObjectTemplate.teamOnVehicle 1


AFTER:

ObjectTemplate.teamOnVehicle 0

This way they aren't removed from the map just disabled for the commander to use.

Re: Removing Artillery

Damn arty cost us a 5v5 match as we capped out the other team, and dropped arty on our own head.... I know it can be disabled, but it would have to be approved by TWL.
