Rise of Kobol v0.05 Released

[Spawndemon]

As stated earlier this week, the team behind the Rise of Kobol mod have released their first public beta. This version adds a couple new aspects to gameplay that are very unique. Take a look:

After more than a year a very early & raw build is finally here, we are releasing at this point to involve you, the BF2 community in the growth and direction of this mod. Our main goal was to bring true as possible Zero G combat on the BF2 engine and we feel we did this and it's ready for you to learn and help us make better. We also added an FTL system. This is experimental and your feed back will be crucial to shape it as a very effective and intricate part of what makes RoK special. This mod is very young and will grow with your support and feedback.

Also, we want to thank the Lords of Clan Tribe and Rara Avises for their support. With out them things would have been much harder. I'll stop now and say enjoy and we look forward to your support.

Glad this thing was only 90meg, because it really wasn't my thing at all.

First few rounds are hard, no matter what your control scheme. Stick with it and it becomes great fun. Can't wait to try using my joystick on this baby.

NOTE: Make sure you read the readme when you install!

Known Client Bugs & Fixes Here

I crash to desktop after I load the map and hit join.
RoK has to be set at medium or higher video setting, change that and you'll be good to go.

How do you set your up-down-left-right control. I used the read me but it didn't seem to change anything (Note: this is not required to play it just adds more control).
This was left out of the read me, sorry about that. Once you finished the read me make sure to make the controls.con file Read Only. To do this right click on the file, go to properties and the check the Read Only box. Hit Apply then ok and you're all set.

When I leave a server after playing RoK and join back to it or another server running RoK I CTD.
For some reason this happens and we are working on a fix. For now just quit BF2/RoK to rejoin or join a new server.

My installer says Alpha .6, is this the right installer?
Yes, I made this mistake from lack of sleep sorry.

Known Server Bugs & Fixes Here

My server runs for a bit then crashes?
Right now their is a bug that crashes the server after reloading the map. Set your rounds for the map to at least a 100, this won't effect you server.

Can Operation Tylium Mine handel 64 player.
Not yet, currently it only spawns 40 vehicles total. We will support 64 players in our up coming patch.

Yes, there is a learning curve. This is a brand new style of multi-player combat. Don't give up, it's worth it just like learning to fly the choppers in the good old DC days.

run Common/FreeCamera/Object.con

from the init.con

to the

Thanks to [WOW]BLITZ we made this patch to stop the CTD during server rotation. It's very small so don't worry about the download.
