Tactical Nades and Grappling Vet badges - broken

Re: Tactical Nades and Grappling Vet badges - broken

Do any of the stat sites have a nade counter ? number of nades thrown, number of teargas nades fired...?

No, unfortunately. I have been looking since I knew this was a badge you could get.

I have even been trying to figure out how to get my hands on the data file that they are extrapolating this data from so that I can take a look at the raw data and make my own stat page.

Re: Tactical Nades and Grappling Vet badges - broken

it could be that the numbers are wrong, I trow prety much flash bangs, about 5 to 10 each round, and I have almost 180 rounds played in SF, I should of gotten the vet badge by now, but I didn't, no disaster, but when they put something in the game, I find it has to w<ork

Something is wrong with those too. I can see my count for zipline being close to right - almost 2 hours...and I do have vet - and I do know I have done over 3500 of them at 29/minute = 2.68 hours - so the time listed is semi close.

As for the grappling hook - I show 0 hours in my stats - and I know for a fact I have done over 4500 grapples.

Re: Tactical Nades and Grappling Vet badges - broken

So in researching this some, I am noticing that a couple of the stat sites have the requirements worded as:

Throw 1000 Flashbangs
(does not mentioned tactical grenades - like teargas - even though you can get the basic badge by only using teargas)

Grapply 3000 buildings
(even though you can get the basic by just right click dropping the hook on a building or the dirt 10 times - same with the left click throw - does not have to be while on a building, or onto a building - you just have to toss it out 10 times.)

So I am wondering if the requirements for basic and vet are different. This would be the only explanation for this garbage in my book. Or the numbers are just way off.

Thanks for all the research guys.

You guys have a ridiculous number of hours played. You should work on getting your SPM up instead of these lame badges.

Heh sort of relevent but I know that I've deployed the zip line more than 10 times and have not recieved the basic zip badge.

You have to do it IAR (In A Round) - meaning all 10 deploys before the end of the round. Make it 11 and you know you will get it.

I am working on these at the same time that I am working on my #1 priority - War College Ribbon. My SPM is going down hill because I spend round after round just doing this crap for checking out the badge cts....for now.

My K/D ratio is still the same, and when my team needs help to pull the win for my War College ribbon, I help out to the best of my abiity and get the win - screw the other badges - Wins are my priority. If we are killin the other team - I take off to a corner and do my badge work.

Re: Tactical Nades and Grappling Vet badges - broken

After reading this thread, I looked at the game script files where the award requirements are programmed (Python_Xpack\bf2\stats\medal_data.py)
and I see the numbers are right (like 3000 for vet grappling hook, 6500 for exp grapling hook, etc), but they totally screwed up!!! :wall:

As some have noticed, the basic badge with the 10 deployments / use are IN A ROUND. This is coded so in the script file:

#Grappling Hook Usage
#Basic
('1260708_1', 'X1ghb', 1, object_stat ('weapons', 'deployed', WEAPON_TYPE_GRAPPLINGHOOK, 10)),

"object_stat" beeing the function that returns the ROUND stats for an object
(global stats is the "global_stats" function)

Now when we look at the vet and the expert badges, this is how they are coded:

#Veteran
('1260708_2', 'X1ghb', 1, f_and( has_medal ('1260708_1'), object_stat ('weapons', 'deployed', WEAPON_TYPE_GRAPPLINGHOOK, 3000))),
#Expert
('1260708_3', 'X1ghb', 1, f_and( has_medal ('1260708_2'), object_stat ('weapons', 'deployed', WEAPON_TYPE_GRAPPLINGHOOK, 6500))),

Which means you would have to deploy the grappling hook 3000 times IN A ROUND!!!!!! :shock:

Re: Tactical Nades and Grappling Vet badges - broken

maybe the feed is wrong, meaning, the numbers are correct, but there isn't a feed kept for the amount of flash or graple hooks you have alreadyt trown, this is perfectly possible with DICE, they just forgot to put the feed in

Wow, nice QA....do these people do UAT? Now it's not only bugs, it the inability to make standard items unusable as well......
