Re: Your impression of DCon and the Changes we've made from .1

I just downloaded and installed v0.15 yet when ever i play it seems the servers a generaly empty or half of them are a different version ( the text is red and i cant join em) is there a patch that i missed or am i just playing at the wrong time of day?

make sure to uncheck "ranked" from the browser search..seems this is mostly the issue.

ok i did both of those thing i was able to click on the CDU server, but when it was fully loaded i couldnt join and the an error message came up saying " This server only allows players with unmodified content to join. Revert your version of BF2 to the current official version to join."

it said this when i tried both the origional DCon and v0.15. are they conflicting?

Well I know you can't do any tweaks to the client files. Like I used to for all BF2 mods is add the pb_sleep 500 thing to the init.con file. So when I load the mod I didn't have to type that in console. Even doing that DCon will give you that message cause the file doesn't match up when it does it's verifying client thing.

Asides from that though, maybe try uninstalling DCon completely and doin a fresh install of just the .15b version. I do know that a few of our members just installed over the old version with no problems. I would still try doing a fresh install of just the new version though.

Just another thought, is your BF2 patched all the way up to 1.41?
In the filters section I use same version, same mod and unranked. Same version will only show servers that are running the same BF2 version as you. Same mod will show servers runnin the mod you are running at the moment. Thing with this though is that most mods keep the same name between versions so you will probably see old an new servers for DCon as I am sure there are some not updated still. Unranked is obvious. Not many servers being run on Ranked boxes anymore.

Asides from doing that, I don't really know what to tell ya. Best of luck to ya man, we hope to have ya around DCon sometime.

It's pretty damn good so far, some of my suggestions:
- Implement Hind passenger seats with ability to shoot out the sides
- Increase Hind nose cannon effectiveness to better match Apache
- Increase Hind armour to compensate for its larger, less-agile body
- Give all BLACKhawks BLACK skins.
- Replace stock blackhawk on Desert Sabre with a battlehawk.

im loving the new agility of the A10...but it might be too much, you can dogfight migs now with ease.

The capability to dogfight migs with A10s is in Desert Combat Final, however it's harder to hit enemy fighters with the cannon on the BF2 engine and any decent fighter pilot won't have much trouble losing them.

Re: Your impression of DCon and the Changes we've made from .1

Overall I like the mod. The improvements on the A-10 make it fun to watch and listen to.(love that nose cannon).
Dislikes:
1. AA vehicle- When getting owned by enemy aircraft, there is little or no defense. You have to fire up missiles and hope they fly into one.
2. No squad leader spawn. I would like to see this added in the future.
3. Tank to tank repair. I would like to see this put back in as well.
:salute:

Re: Your impression of DCon and the Changes we've made from .1

what is the point of having a squad if you cant spawn on your sl?

Are you serious? Squads aren't there just so you can have an active spawn point, they're for teamwork.

SL spawn is a server-side option.
I don't know about the tank-to-tank repair, but I rolled past another tank earlier today and a wrench popped up and started working on me...so I'm not sure if it's a glitch or server side option, as well.

Re: Your impression of DCon and the Changes we've made from .1

Tank to Tank repair was removed in the latest version. If you were getting fixed it is most likely because the guy hopped out an was wrenchin ya up.

I can't speak for any other server but on =CDU= I did not server side the tank to tank repair option back in. There isn't a toggle for it either.

Re: Your impression of DCon and the Changes we've made from .1

I would like to see more DC maps. Dustbowl FTW!

I would like to see less SSM's that place opposition content in coalition mains and vice versa. I don't mind extra content even though it doesn't jive with a "pure" DC experience but I would like to see a little more attention to detail in the application of SSM's. I would like to see SSM's that influence teamwork. Sometimes less is more.

I would like to see less servers but with more people on each.

I would like to see DCON competition come back to life.

There's some DC remakes in the works. Though they require a lot of new statics too. Hopefully it won't be too long until we see some make it into a release. And with Dustbowl not here (yet) Desert Sabre is a nice compromise for now (even more so with the new armour tweak we've got coming up in the next release). :)

In regards to competition it requires cooperation on both parts. My attempts receive feedback from the competitive community over at CAL resulted in my thread being locked. That doesn't really help either of us.

I'm sorry but CAL gave its chance at dcon and it didn't work. We will not be having another league or tourney involved with dcon.

So you really need to ask those guys rather than us. We're going to be trying to make DCon as competition worthy as possible. Though when our requests for feedback are just getting locked, you can imagine how much longer it's going to take. We'll make DCon one of the best competition mods out there, no doubt about that. But if competitions are unwilling to give us a second chance then there's not really anything we can do about it.

Tank to tank repair was removed in .15. However I believe the repair aura still exists in vehicles other than MBT's and LBT's.

Ya know??? The only difference I see in Desert Conflict and Vanilla BF2 is the sound of the Ak-47, some minor weapon skin adjustments, and the U.S. M4A1which sounds just like the pistol... I dunno. I just don't like it that much. Sorry guys but there is room for improvement!!! I dont really care about the maps but most seem to be very small... and last time I checked there were no servers playing online! :shock: It's not a bad mod I still play it but I thought it was gonna be a lot cooler!

Didn't realize Vanilla BF2 uses "Dumb Missiles (No annoying lock-on)", "DC style arty (The camera view)", "Mobile Arty vehicles (Scud, MLRS, BM21, HOWI)", "Iraqi Commands (The LAAAA is back)", "SSM's to enable/disable features (Different spawn time, squads)" and not to mention boat load of new coding (Jets, Heli, ground vehicles, weapons)".

Hey sorry, it was an opinion...

I only played it once though and I think I like it better now! :p
