Title: FH2: All New 2.5 Maps [SP/COOP] DOWNLOAD [Patched for v2.54]
Post by: Darman on 23-02-2016, 22:02:00
[NOTE: This has been patched to work with version 2.54 of Forgotten Hope 2. It should work fine for the most part, but it is only a quick fix without a lot of testing.]

FH2: 2.5 COOP Map Pack

Gentlemen,

it took me about two weeks since the release of FH2 2.5 and the great Eastern Front expansion, but now it is done, I am pleased to announce that all 5 new Maps have successfully been navmeshed and may be played in Co-Op against Bots.

THAT INCLUDES:

ARAD
16: Skirmish over the village
32: Headon Conquest Small
64: Headon Conquest Large

DUKLA PASS
16: Push through the village, Soviets attacking
32: Push through the defensive line, Soviets attacking
64: Conquest Assault Large, Soviets attacking (not recommended, experience may disappoint)

PEGASUS BRIDGE
16: Capture the bridge, British Paras attacking at night time
32: Conquest Assault South, Capture Horsa Bridge, Wehrmacht attacking
64: Conquest Assault North, Capture Pegasus Bridge, Wehrmacht attacking

SAMMATUS
16: Skirmish over the trenches at early morning sunrise
64: Push through the defensive line, Soviets attacking

SEELOW HEIGHTS
16: Push through the defensive lines at Seelow, Soviets attacking
32: Headon Conquest Small, bad weather
64: Push through the German defense at the Seelow Heights, Soviets attacking

NOTES:

I don't own any of the maps and I didn't create any of these maps. I added bot support and therefore had to modify them a bit here and there, but the credits go, of course, to the FH2 Devs responsible for the amazing work. Keep in mind that this is not official, I am not a Dev.

This is still in an early stage. Even with a 3ds Max crash course, everyday effort and feedback from several testers, two weeks are not nearly enough to finalize complete bot support for five maps on all sizes. Plus the maps aren't made with bots in mind. More often than not I had to settle with sub-optimal AI behaviour - It is still working to a satisfying level and provides a ton of fun. If you encounter any major problems however, please report them so I will be able to fix them asap.

All layers are supported, some modified. I converted every size layer [16,32,64] for usage with bots. To create some diversity, several modes have alternate daytime and weather than the original. Pegasus is split into North [64] and South [32]. Since the AI can't cross the bridges with vehicles, the full map couldn't be supported at this time. Some 64 Maps have altered CP/Vehicle/CSW layouts to favor the AI and ensure stability.

This should not break your game for MP. The maps have custom names like "arad_coop" and will not overwrite anything. Additional base archives named "EF_Coop_Fix_client/server" will be added to the FH2 Mod folder. They are loaded with the maps, not with the mod on launch and contain fixed versions of the vehicles that are currently not supporting the AI. A complete list of these:

Fixed vehicles
  • IL-2 bomber/rockets
  • La-5 FN
  • Zis-3
  • T34/76 Camo + Beutepanzer
  • T34/85 Late

All of these maps are to be played in COOP mode. Don't try Conquest or Singleplayer. Go to Local in the multiplayer menu, choose coop mode and start your server to play on. Here is a quick guide in images:

DOWNLOAD FH2 2.5 COOP Map Pack v2.54 (https://www.mediafire.com/file/bzukvkzhsd4x21c/FH2.54_EF_Coop.exe/file)



I will try to provide bot support for any maps without it that will come in the future. Apart from that, if you have any map suggestions on which you would like to see bot support, feel free to leave them here or at the thread of my Forgotten Maps Project (http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=20003.0). UPDATE: Due to my private life taking different directions, I can no longer work on full scale projects. I will however try to keep this playable as it is now as long as I can.

- Nice job Darman! I had lots of fun playing the maps. Missed the HE shells a little bit but no big deal. Also the maps appear to be COOP only and no Singleplayer for now.

I am not an applicant for a Dev position and this is definitly third party content, wether this is being added to the launcher is not up to me, however I highly doubt the possibility.

Trust me the HEs needed to go (however only for PaK 40s, for now). The extensive use of rifle grenades is troubling enough for attacking AI, PaK gunners that are barely engaged by ground forces anyway just break the balance on most occasions.
The SP in the title is just a synonym for "bot supported". As mentioned, this is made for Co-Op mode only. I don't support the barely customizable "Singleplayer" mode. I never did and never will do. Thats why I added a Co-Op guide in images here, just to make sure.

I have notified Gavrant on beta chat.
Why do you say it's doubtful this makes it into build? If it fixes the mesh issues of the new statics, I think it should definitely be included into an official update.

Gavrant should know about this, as pointed out he gave me permission to release this.
But it doesn't fix the mesh issues. Most of the EF buildings will be ignored by the AI - be it rural sheds, seelow bunkers, finnish huts - they can not enter them and I removed navmeshing from about 50% of the new buildings that technically could be part of the navmesh because the AI would often get stuck inside behind and angeled door for instance, or a turned over table on the ground. So yeah, especially on Sammatus and Arad, the buildings are basically hiding spots for players since bots won't come after you when you are inside :P Still it doesn't affect gameplay as much as I thought. It isn't really apparent and therefore the maps are a ton of fun anyway.

Wow. What a trip  :P. All that build up to the release of 2.5 over ~1 year (or was it longer?) then the nail biting while I wonder if coop/sp will be done. Then I find myself in Darman's test maps feeling like I've sneaked in to some private viewing or something  ;D. What a big job this obviously was. Well done to Darman and any other testers.

A little Dukla slideshow ...  8)

(http://files.djbarney.org/Forgotten_Hope_2point5_CoopSP_Game_Play_Dukla_by_Garman_GIF_by_DJBarney.gif)

Having been in testing mode can't help but notice a few things, apart from the kick ass game play of course  ;). For starters something right is going on with bridges, at least the narrow one in Dukla near the German base. Tanks do actually cross it sometimes esp. StuG's but it can still get jammed up. But I don't think I've EVER seen a large AI tank navigate such a narrow bridge before in any FH game.

Navmesh error around 88 @ German base on Dukla (think there's only one 88 there). AI tanks try and navigate out through the whole in the wall. Of course there's an 88 in the way. Even when the 88 is destroyed they get stuck there as well.

The arty gun next to the big barn at the Western river crossing CP on Dukla still causes a CTD on entry by human player.

But that's all for long after you've basked on the glory of your release of course  ;D.

Thanks for the further feedback. Dukla Pass 64 Issues have been fixed, the ZiS-2 was replaced by a working ZiS-3 (makes more sense for AI-play), the German base FlaK position is no longer a path for vehicles and pathfinding around the bridge should be improved now, there actually were some serious issues with it. However, the AI will still struggle on that position, especially when a traffic jam occurs or one of the broader StuGs is trying to get across. But again, there is just so much I can do on that hot spot.
The patch was applied and a new version of the installer should be up momentarily.

PS: You might want to consider scaling that slideshow down to 700p width. Idk about you, but on my browser it looks kinda weird showing only the left half because the forum panel doesn't allow for more.

Played this finally and was amazed to start a COOP map with Russians at all then have IL planes take off and rain rockets on German positions. Totally epic!

A few comments though:
1. Some AT guns would best be replaced with static AT guns. Their current position allows them a good defense of the area. making them mobile simply weakens this.

2. Is it possible to make an _ai variant of the Katyusha with perspective raised like is the case with static artillery. That way, it can fire at enemy from range. Otherwise, it will be the first vehicle to the front and the first vehicle to get killed. Another thing to do would be to reduce the temperature of the driver's seat so that bots are less inclined to drive it and more inclined to camp the rockets.

3. Finally, I noted that the plane on Seelow heights; the Russian fighter has it's propeller not moving at all. It may be a bug that was introduced when AI was added. Something to check out.

Otherwise, I'm going to say, this is a really fine addition to the mod and within such a brief period of time.

Great work, Darman!

Are you referring to Seelow Heights like in point 2 and 3? Because afaik most AT guns on that map are indeed static. I would like to take a look at this issue though, just point me to the ones that struck you.

2. Is it possible to make an _ai variant of the Katyusha with perspective raised like is the case with static artillery. That way, it can fire at enemy from range.

That would probably be a job for gavrant but I'll look it up. It would definitly be a cool addition.
EDIT: First attempts to clone the nebelwerfer_AI behaviour for the BM13 were fruitless, on the contrary caused ctds. Currently I won't invest more time in this, I hope you understand. Maybe if you or someone else figures it out before the Devs eventually get to the SP part for the EF, I'd be happy to make it a part of the pack.

3. Finally, I noted that the plane on Seelow heights; the Russian fighter has it's propeller not moving at all. It may be a bug that was introduced when AI was added. Something to check out.
Yes, thats what I pointed out in the "fixed vehicles" spoiler in the opening post. Basically I had to clone the vehicles I wanted to be fixed and somehow the La-5 FN Propeller got messed up in the process. It isn't a game breaker though and I had more pressing matters and hand at this time, so I scheduled it for later. EDIT: Fixed. Will soon be patched in.

Nice =-) i really enjoy playing against the bot ;D this weekend im gonna play coop with some friends :P
 just a few questions though:

- the artilllery tractor and the captured french tank was not ready for bot support yet? i couldnt  see those new units at pegasus bridge map =-p

- if you put a fix on do we have to redownload the maps?

-another thing i wonder why your work wont be included in the official game or the devs want to use your work as basics improve it and use it later on in the launcher? (just curious) ;D

maby this question is kinda out of place here but
is it possible for bot support on naval maps like pacific, supplies for malta and such? or maps where the bots needs to jump out of an transport plane at the start of the game (catania 64) :P

anyways keep up the good work :D :)

They are perfectly usable, however I haven't seen the AI actually use the artillery tractor. Probably the same issues as with the Katyusha mentioned by djinn above. You can find both vehicles on the SOUTH part of the map, which is the 32 size layer. As for why the map is split, please refer to the opening post.

if you put a fix on do we have to redownload the maps?
As it is now, yes. I won't be releasing standalone hotfixes / patches to download separatly during the first week after release or so.

another thing i wonder why your work wont be included in the official game or the devs want to use your work as basics improve it and use it later on in the launcher? (just curious) ;D
I can't speak for the devs. But using my work as a basis for improvement to meet FH2 standards is not possible. For that several EF statics would have to be adjusted for navemshing and then the navmesh would have to be regenerated, which means you'd have to do everything from scratch again, which would render my work or any already generated navmesh obsolete.

I have looked into this as part of my Forgotten Maps Project about a year ago. Short answer: NO. Long answer: Water is a problem, especially the ships, a major part of the WaW/FHT Pacific Maps, are a problem. I won't say it is impossible, but tbh, with the exception of Wake Island - the bf1942 ported Pacific Maps look rather... graphically and optically underwhelming, to put it lightly. As for Catania and most of the other Italy maps from WaW/FHT - although Para Spawns are possible (yet complicated) there are some issues with these as well as a bunch of other community maps that prevent me from generating pathfinding on them. Basically the Editor will CTD if you try and just produce another useless dump file. I couldn't figure out why, I am suspecting custom Statics though. But I won't invest more time in that issue, it did cost me enough already.

@Darman
Seen.

Okay, I think the 75mm AT guns on Arad. Generally, as a rule of thumb, don't make 75mm German or Russian AT guns mobile. The German AT at the bridge flag for instance definitely doesn't need to be moved.

I think the Katyusha with _ai can be a clone. The only difference between the _ai version is that it's point of view is about 15m in the air so it sees over stuff. You might try also making it driver/ gunner so it stops and fires instead of having some idiot bot drive it off - Or try reducing the heat of driver should do also.

Sadly, I doubt Gavrant will ever make an _ai katyusha. On principle, Gavrant doesn't believe mobile arty should have that as it tends to make them more clumsy to drive by both bots and humans.

So this would have to be your call.

ah alright =-p i understand thanks for the info man ;D ;)
by the way i still have a unfinished map in my files called reichswald, it looks nice but doenst have a loading info/song and no picture it was once made by a guy called sn00x but as far as i know never finished (dunno why though the map looks finished) so my final question :P
would bot support be able there? its seems a quite flat forest map good for infantry battles :)

Post by: Darman on 25-02-2016, 14:02:10
@djinn: I will look into that. Keep in mind that most AT Guns on Arad are meant to be mobile though and spawn in base locations, not defensive positions.
I will give that Katyusha another try then, but don't get your hopes up. This is a low priority.

@gamerjer: If the map itself is finished, I can add the loadscreen/-song/navmesh/etc for it. I remember Reichswald came up in the Forgotten Maps thread (where it belongs) but back then I decided to not include the map because sn00x always added AI support to his maps on his own. Are you positive that he has discontinued work on the project? Is he still active? I'd have to get his permission first in any case.

Sure. Absolutely appreciated.

Final note: I think it would help on a map like Seelow, to make defenders spawn on static guns.

There have been two approaches used in standard maps.
That used in Totalize locks all defensive vehicles such as 88s and mgs to enemy so that defenders can't use them once the base switches hands.

The other is open spawn vehicles like on El Alamein. I think a combination of the two works depending on what you deem strategic.

mg facing the Russians, for instance, should definitely be side-locked. Where as the 88s in 360 positions can be open spawners.

But spawners are key so that the first line bases aren't so easy to take without some defensive action. A map like Seelow and Dukla pass ought to be slugfest, requiring players to flank and try to take out key targets before worrying about infantry.

Great job again with the maps. I love how confidently tanks move around these maps that by their very appearance are quite a nightmare to navigate.

Final note: I think it would help on a map like Seelow, to make defenders spawn on static guns.

I actually spent quite a lot of time on this issue. Not so much the MGs, you are right, they should be sided, I will do that.

But the AT guns. First problem is: No matter how much I try to change this: A good third of the German AI will spawn back at the base, not the front line. It is unfortunate, but I couldn't get it to work any other way. At one point I had it so that all Frontline AT guns were initially manned by bots via "EnterOnSpawn" spawners for AI. Here is the problem - The soviet IL-2 Bomber instantly recognizes the threats by the 88s and bombs the shit out of them before any russian tank reaches the front line or before you as player can enter the gun to use it yourself. I usually play Seelow as defender, so that is kind of the priority perspective. Thats also why on Dukla Pass AT guns have been reduced or replaced by weaker models. Russian tanks would just drop left and right otherwise and the defending faction could lean back and enjoy the Bots doing their work. It is delicate issue, the balance here, but when in doubt, I always looked forward to provide the best experience to the Axis side, since I don't ever play as the Soviets.

I am actually quite happy with the situation right now, but it is simply biased an there is little I can do about it.

Missed the HE shells a little bit but no big deal.

Missed HE as well. Not sure about the reasoning behind removing these. Are'nt attacking bots supposed to be slaughtered en masse ?  :D But I tend to play defensivly so am used to having the HE there. I guess it could cause problems in other contexts.

is it possible for bot support on naval maps like pacific, supplies for malta and such?

I'm interested in this as well. I love Omaha Beach with the destroyers firing their big guns. The AI seem to make it to the beach, but I guess its a small map as naval maps go and of course the destroyers are static.

The soviet IL-2 Bomber instantly recognizes the threats by the 88s and bombs the shit out of them before any russian tank reaches the front line or before you as player can enter the gun to use it yourself.

Is'nt that what its supposed to do ? I'm not sure about some of this balance stuff. Some maps are going to be easier one side or the other and don't forget that some of it will be played Coop with X number of human players evening up any imbalance, assuming they know about it fo course but I'd think that's half the fun here. I can be almost pulling out my hair getting bombed all the time by Stuka's on the Africa maps after going half way across the map with a tank only to have my attack thwarted. But is'nt this the kind of thing that FH is very good at doing ?; It ain't fair.

New Patch currently uploading. Further improvements made to the Seelow Navmesh (especially for the 16p layer), defensive emplacements are now team bound and the La-5 FN propeller was fixed.



But is'nt this the kind of thing that FH is very good at doing ?; It ain't fair.
Most definitly, sure. But djinns point here was that defensive emplacements should be instantly manned so that they are more of a challenge for the attackers to overcome. My point is: When I make this happen, it will become worse because the laser guided bombers will instantly wreck everything before you as attacker even arrive at the line. And just trust me about the HEs. I mean you can simply revert the change manually, but the spam is just too heavy against the attackers. MGs are there to engage infantry masses, PaKs aren't.

This is wrong. The Stuka zu Fuss, Willys Calliope and Katjusha do get the cameras raised by a couple of meters in SP/Co-op automatically, without any _ai clones (if the map is properly packed). This is enough if the AI view distance on the map matches the "human" view distance. Raising the cameras more will increase the risk of hitting a wall just in front and killing half of their own team, so they must be treated as direct firing weapons in the hands of AI.

This is wrong. The Stuka zu Fuss, Willys Calliope and Katjusha do get the cameras raised by a couple of meters in SP/Co-op automatically, without any _ai clones (if the map is properly packed). This is enough if the AI view distance on the map matches the "human" view distance. Raising the cameras more will increase the risk of hitting a wall just in front and killing half of their own team, so they must be treated as direct firing weapons in the hands of AI.

A considerable risk. If friendly fire is enabled, that is. But on the other hand - I only ever saw the AI operated static Nebelwerfer as a weapon system of that kind effectively using the rockets. The Katyusha is doing it occasionally, but really mostly as a medium range direct fire measure - probably due to the AI view distance though. That one is usually rather low to prevent Bots from firing their handhelds at ineffective range.
However good to know, thanks for the hint. Since you mentioned proper packing - I suppose this feature is implemented by the "aifixes.con" ?

Static artillery pieces, like the Nebelwerfer, are usually located in relatively open places, with no obstacles right in front of them, and somewhat behind the front line. And even if it's not the case, the SP mapper often can find a better position to put that arty. That's why they work fine with the cameras raised by the standard 10m or so, even despite the fact that moving the primary camera in a vehicle decreases AI accuracy with the weapon(s). With mobile arty pieces, on contrary, you can't guess where the bots will discharge all their HE load, it may be an open field, but more often than not it can be a narrow street in the middle of a town.

... probably due to the AI view distance though. That one is usually rather low to prevent Bots from firing their handhelds at ineffective range.
I usually set the AI view distance (<level>/ai/AI.ai, aiSettings.setViewDistance) to the same value as the level's fog distance in sky.con. This is fair both to human players and AI bots, but damages static artillery on too foggy levels. In the case if the range of some weapon is an annoyance on a certain level (for example, the static MGs on PHL and Omaha Beach), I decrease the max. range in the AI template of that specific weapon on this level only. But in my experience handhelds are never troublemakers in this respect. Darman, what handhelds do you mean by "firing their handhelds at ineffective range"?

Since you mentioned proper packing - I suppose this feature is implemented by the "aifixes.con" ?
Yes, the aifixes.con thing raises the cameras, among many-many other things.

But is'nt this the kind of thing that FH is very good at doing ?; It ain't fair.
Most definitly, sure. But djinns point here was that defensive emplacements should be instantly manned so that they are more of a challenge for the attackers to overcome.

This is good.

Quote
My point is: When I make this happen, it will become worse because the laser guided bombers will instantly wreck everything before you as attacker even arrive at the line.

Actually, yes. What is that ? Tanks and soldiers miss all the time even at high difficulty but bomb drops are almost always perfect. Could AI pilots be made less accurate ? Anyway I understand your approach.

Quote
And just trust me about the HEs. I mean you can simply revert the change manually, but the spam is just too heavy against the attackers. MGs are there to engage infantry masses, PaKs aren't.

But FH does put HE rounds in there. I'm just a bit uncomfortable about changing too much that's there in MP. After all Coop/SP is seen as training. What happens when the player goes online and has to face all those HE shells ?

@Darman,
I've also noted that German riflemen fire standard rifle grenades at T34. The damage is insignificant and focuses them away from infantry threats. This might not be a good threat assessment for them.

I very often observe how bots start discharging everthing at their disposal right on spawning, even when the enemy is still far out in the fog or behind terrain obstacles. Firing from the hip, mostly.

That is not my buisiness. I doubt it however and fear the risk of them no longer using the bombs at all is higher than the chance of them dropping bombs inaccurately.

AI play may be training for some, but it is definitly just fun for me. Again, these changes apply ONLY for the PaK 40 Static and ONLY on a small number of defensive maps. And by default, prior to 2.5 I was totally fine with HE being there. But since Bots started to use the HE shells extremely often to great success to engage infantry in large numbers, I had to do something. Because, one last time - the Human would react to the threat, scatter, search for cover, flank the gun, call in arty, land a precision shot etc. The AI will not. They will walk slowly into their death. Again, and Again. Case closed.

Your're right. I'm probably crossing the line somewhere between pure FH development and your navmeshing.

That is strange. Haven't seen that one in BF2 in a while and never in FH2, ircc. I'm afraid I will be of little help there. None of my Beta testers ever reported such an error. What hardware are you running it on? If you didn't already, you could try debugging the error further while running the game in windowed mode.

No. The template was already there. What I did was fixing the Hull MG so that it wouldn't crash the AI. And I also didn't create a custom AItemplate for the Hull MG, since the T34 85 early already had a working one that I could use. Same holds for the T34 76 versions.

Well, that note is a little outdated since I fixed most of the pathfinding issues on that size, but the map just isn't set up for Bot play. It has vast open fields, a good view distance, little cover and Zombie-like armies walking around in hordes waiting for you to drop them one by one - vehicles are limited to cross through a hand full of chokepoints that you can easily camp on (thats why I had to remove most AT guns, too). As defender you can just sit there and count your kills, especially when in a Panzer with lots of MG ammo. As attacker-player I suppose you won't have much trouble overpowering anything in your way. Its a definitly great map, both for MP and visually, it just isn't a lot of fun to play against the AI imo.

Sorry if I'm mistaken.
The rifle grenades in the default German rifleman kit on Arad, Dukla and Seelow - they are not frag grenades, they are HEAT. The same HEAT grenades you can find in, say, the AT kit on Operation Cobra. On Cobra they are mildly effective against Shermans, but, as it seems, they are very weak against the Russian armor.


On planes bombs: I did tweak the bombs for FH 2.5 to be less accurate, but apparently it did not help much. Will try to tweak them more.


On HE shells: did I make them too accurate, especially in static guns, or it's just you, guys, being not accustomed to AI utilizing them against infantry? :)


Darman, what handhelds do you mean by "firing their handhelds at ineffective range"?
I very often observe how bots start discharging everthing at their disposal right on spawning, even when the enemy is still far out in the fog or behind terrain obstacles. Firing from the hip, mostly.
This is weird because the maximum range for weapons capable of automatic hip fire is set to 100m or so, far below the fog range on almost all maps.

Oh, I can definitly adjust to that behaviour. The problem from my pov is, that the enemy AI infantry can not, does not, will not - and instead gets blown to bits in heaps of 5 men at a time while purposefully marching towards the defensive line. And again, afaik - a PaK just isn't there for anti personnel use. That is what MGs are supposed to do.

I'm talking about Rifles/Carbines being fired from the hip - on further observation not necessarily at ineffective range, but often enough at ineffective range for the AI (they just won't hit like that) and very often behind terrain or static obstacles. But thats far from a gamebreaking issue. Its not like they are wasting any ammo as Bots.

There are various ways to deal with this, from setting extremely high respawn times to the emplacements (this way the attackers have to destroy each gun once and it won't bother them anymore), to decreasing AI accuracy or ranges with that weapon (like it's done on PHL with the MGs), to counter-balancing the guns with bombers or artillery for the attacking team.

Rifles also have rather short ranges of around 250m, shorter than the fog distance on most of EF maps. And bots shooting through statics may be actually a sign of misconfigured collision or materials of those statics (that is, it might be a fault of the statics, not the bots).

I will look into wether I can apply new aitemplates to the HE Ammo, scaling down the range or accuracy.
EDIT: Done. will be patched in later.

Makes sense. Anyway I will check wether the AI view distance matches / is lower than the fog distance / player view distance on the maps of this pack and make sure it does / is.

Gave Seelow Heights a few tries, and I really enjoyed the experience.  Bots seem to be working well, and I haven't come across any issues so far playing as defender each time.

For Arad, I played as Germans and although the Russians outnumbered me 2-1, they had a really hard time getting onto the island.  They wouldn't aggressively go for any other points, instead concentrating all their forces trying to take the central point.  Unfortunately, their tanks may move a bit too gingerly over the bridge to make for a dangerous advance there... it's really hard for them to be a threat at all on this map.  I wonder if it's possible to make them target other sections more heavily, if the pathing doesn't allow them to use their tanks to their full advantage at the central point?

Samm was really good, haven't tried the other two yet!

@tempest:

On Arad, unfortunatly there are some problems that keep me from further improving the AI pathfinding around the bridges - so the current state will have to do, I'm afraid. I'll look into the priorities for the CPs to attack, usually they all have the same value but I guess I can tweak it to get better results. Haven't had such significant problems yet on Arad though, I found it to be very enjoyable with less than a 2:1 manpower difference. But I'll check it.

To clarify: Your issue here is: When the Soviets have got the East Village and the South field (they tend to capture those rather quickly), they concentrate all their efforts on the West Village?
Title: Re: FH2: All New 2.5 Maps [SP/COOP] DOWNLOAD
Post by: tempest on 02-03-2016, 02:03:51
They almost exclusively attack at west village.  I generally take crash site first but east village seems to get ignored by both sides unless I take it, and then there's slow and sporadic action there (when I play, with about 75 bots).  The vast majority of the action revolves around west village.  Surprisingly, the Germans seem to have a bit better luck getting tanks onto the island.  Either way, neither side is that good at it.  Infantry can make it over fine.

I must admit I came across this error a few times while I did initial testing, also only on dedicated servers. I could not figure out why exactly that is, the only comparable error I found was back in the days BF2 1.41 was patched to 1.5 and 1023 rounds were the new maximum for magazines, this exact error, with the magazine values however, was triggered when you were trying to use something with a mag size over 1023 - however it was a predictable error and something you could pinpoint.
This one here however seemed random and didn't appear at any time while I tested the final versions, so I simply ignored it and decided not to waste time with it. All I know is that some value that the engine recieves exceeds the maximum allowed value for a certain class of values. Rather vague unfortunatly, and it doesn't explain why this error seems to appear so frequently for you.

I would gladly fix it if I knew the source. I don't however and currently all my projects are on halt because I (have to) work a lot for the next weeks and what little time remains I spend exploring a certain Manhattan, if you know what I mean. Forgive me the selfishness on this one, but it is simply a fact that troubleshooting for errors like these is an immense investment of time for a single person, especially if you are not as deeply involved into the coding.

+1

Only one thing. Pegasus should have a layer that has the full level on it. Vehicles could simply be removed if there are path-finding problems. However I'm not sure if it really is such a major problem not having them cross bridges. One vehicle could simply be there to cover the half of the map south of the river. Is there just one vehicle ? If there's more the spawn point could be moved the other side of the river so at least each side always has one vehicle. If there's only one vehicle then move the spawn point to where its going to be most useful.

I don't want to disappoint you, but this temporary filler might have to do for a long time. On up to date hardware, it should run relatively stable though.

I run a dedicated FH2 2.51 coop server ([JDR] FH2 2.51 COOP). I added all five of these maps to the server, and while they don't cause any problems for the server, when clients connect, they get to where the JOIN button appears, then see this error message:
Code: [Select]
'Debug assertion failed! Text: Networkable already added to network manager, netId=0'
All but Pegasus Coop produce this client crash on connecting. Pegasus seems to work just fine. Since the other four maps presumably include Russian weapons, I'm assuming something is missing on the server.

I didn't see any instructions for installing these maps on a dedicated server, so I basically just copied all the new level folders and the mods\fh2\EF_Coop_Fix folder to the server.

Is anyone else even trying this? If so, has anyone had any luck with it?

Actually, that doesn't mean something is missing - it means something is being loaded twice, in that case once by the server and once by the client.

Do you run the latest version of the map pack? I ran into these errors after initial release but iirc I fixed all of them, at least for my personal dedicated server launched out of the original game folder it works. Unfortunatly as for advanced Ded Server hosting, my knowledge is very limited, therefore I was never able to test in that framework or release a guide to install it properly.

Currently I am not able to look into this, but if you want to fix this, try toying around with the [mapname]/server.zip/ClientArchives.con and [mapname]/server.zip/ServerArchives.con files. They are most likely responsible.

EDIT: What came to my mind, since the map pack heavily relies on FHT/WaW content - this error may very likely appear if the FHT/762/WaW CMP is installed.

Interesting. Looking at the server versions of other FH2 maps, they seem to be just stripped down versions of the client files. Basically, instead of having both client.zip and server.zip, there's only server.zip. I tried removing all the client related files for one of the maps but it didn't help.

Do you run the latest version of the map pack?
I think so. I downloaded the pack around the time you last updated it on May 13, and the same files are on the server as are on my client. But how can I tell from looking at the files whether they are current? I don't really want to download them all again just to find that they are identical.

I don't think there's much difference between running a dedicated server from a client folder and running a dedicated server from a separate, non-client install. Hopefully someone who understands these things better will see this and provide some clues. I do know that server installs are lighter, as they don't include any client files (mod-global and map-specific), but that's about all I know for sure.

if you want to fix this, try toying around with the [mapname]/server.zip/ClientArchives.con and [mapname]/server.zip/ServerArchives.con files. They are most likely responsible.
Okay, I'll poke around in those files. I also plan to compare the working map (Pegasus Coop) with the non-working ones to see if that reveals anything.

EDIT: What came to my mind, since the map pack heavily relies on FHT/WaW content - this error may very likely appear if the FHT/762/WaW CMP is installed.
Nope, that's not it. None of those things are installed on my client or server.

I just realized that I do in fact have some FHT stuff installed on both the server and client, in that I have installed the Forgotten Maps collection. So for example I have the mods/fh2/fht folder on both server and client. Are those maps and related FHT stuff incompatible with this Coop Map Pack?
Title: Re: FH2: All New 2.5 Maps [SP/COOP] DOWNLOAD
Post by: Darman on 28-05-2016, 17:05:04
Sorry dude, I messed my projects up here. The FHT etc incompatibility may of course only occur for my Forgotten Maps, the 2.5 Maps should be safe.

As for figuring out if you are running the latest - again, I am sorry that I didn't mark them in any way yet, I will do it from now on. But really the only thing that was changed in the latest update was the Seelow 16 layer so that should not affect everything.

In addition to what I have already pointed out, as for solving this, try looking for duplicate loading of networkable objects such as vehicles. I must warn you though this also includes parts of vehicles such as tracks/rotors/wheels... I don't want to confuse you but it gets really hairy there and I sincerely hope this is not the troublemaker in the equation.

BF2 engine is very sensitive to the kind of conflicts that can be caused by old drivers and so forth that other engines are not effected by. A full spruce up of your system using something like Tweakguides usually stabilises it.

Hey MovingTarget, actually, some maps are working in 2.53. Excepting Sammatus, that shows python related error and won't work at all, the rest work just fine, as far as I can see. Arad and Dukla Pass have some lightmapping issues (as explained by Ts4EVER here >>> http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=20003.msg357185#msg357185), but the gameplay isn't affected. But you won't see the updated kits and stuff, like the Luftfaust B on Seelow...

As the author of this mappack, let me give a quick statement to avoid any confusion.

It is unfortunate (but was to be expected) that many aspects of this are now broken with the (excellent) recent patch to FH2.

This was created several years ago and I hope it was some fun to the people that enjoyed FH2 in singleplayer. Unfortunatly, due to my private life taking different directions, I can currently and in the forseeable future not work on any patch or update, or conversions for new maps. If anyone else wants to - please go ahead.

Thanks for clearing that. I enjoyed those maps while they lasted. What breaks my heart is that Sammatus is not working and it's become one of my favorite maps of the mod. Heres to hoping well eventually see some coop support for the official EF maps at least.

You do not have to. I did take a look at the project and found it to be easily fixable so that is what I just did. Check out the opening post and download the current version for FH2 2.54.

Lightmapping was fixed for the most part. Some issues like weird lighting in certain places and shadows where none belong will remain, since the maps I uploaded are no longer the same versions as those from the base mod which I exported the lightmaps from.

Occasional CTDs due to updated assets may occur. I did not have time to extensively test this patch. Please report major issues and I see to fixing them when I find the time.

Hey Darman!

You, sir, is a hero! Truly! Wonderful job, as usual.

I played some of the updated maps, mostly the 16p layers, and they are working just fine (Seelow is far more difficult now for the Russians... ;)), and I've not experienced any crashes or bugs so far. Your iniciative is very appreciated: now, we COOP/SP players have almost all of the official maps available in COOP. I hope to see Ogledow and Ihantala some day...

So, thanks to your efforts and well done job! I'll tell you about any bugs, if I found them...

Just for the anedocte: some of your maps form the Forgotten Maps pack are uncompatible with the 2.53, and I assume they will continue this way with 2.54. So, there is a way to uninstall these particular maps, so they will not show in my COOP list ingame? I wonder if I just delete the folders inside fh2/levels would do the trick... Could you confirm this?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, that would indeed do the trick. When talking about incompatible maps, that should only be those with outdated lightmaps. I did not test any of the Forgotten Maps on the new patch, but if some crash upon, like, python errors but do appear to have proper lightmapping, please let me know and I see to fixing them soon.

Can you consider revising Arads Pickup Kit and static AmmoBoxes/AmmoBlitz Wrecks?

While I agree it would be some fun, I do not know whether either the Luftfaust or the ISU are configured for AI use. If they aren't, they will cause CTDs. I will not risk adding them in blindly and I do not have the time right now to test or if needed fix them for AI. Feel free to replace existing vehicles or pickup kits with those two, remember to update the tmp.con file and let me know if they work, then I will consider adding them in permanently.

Thank you for pointing that out. Could you elaborate on how the t34 bug appears? Does it show up as a python error or does it cause a CTD with a message in windowed mode? The t34 is supposed to spawn only after the German team loses the whole of Kruzlova and the Valley of Death CPs. I never properly tested Dukla Pass 64 since I find the experience to be rather lackluster against AI and prefer the 32 push layer in general.

As for additional pick up kits and supply stations, this requires actual map editing which I currently won't be able to do. Sorry for that.

Ah yes well I've definitely thought a lot about it & would like to be a dev so to contribute at least what I can however personally I feel my skillset isn't quite up to par with some of the other developers. There are a lot of things I don't have a full grasp on yet, and I'm still always learning. Though I've been invited to join the CMP Discord which I will do, and perhaps I can figure out the handful of things which currently puzzle me.

I mean I can create navmeshes for AI, map, code the mapdata.py for co-op, create kits, code vehicles & weapons for AI use, so on and so forth. This being generally easy as some of the AI coding which already exists in FH2 can be used. Troop transport trucks for instance. The Japanese Type 94 truck I simply used the existing Bedford AI templates. It's just a matter of editing the specific .con file & adding the line(s) for the AI template. However certain things like large bomber aircraft w/multiple gunner seats I custom code myself since there aren't really any existing heavy aircraft in FH2 except the Ju-52. Also planes like the Zero, Me-262, Bf-110, P-38, etc...all have their own specific handling characteristics which factor into the Objects.ai. The last thing I want to do is make it sound like I'm "egotistical" I guess or take credit for someone else's work. With the version of CMP Minimod I've been working with, probably 90% of the weapons, armaments, and vehicles were not AI ready. For some of the objects it's as simple as adding lines in the (object).con file linking it existing FH2 AI templates. For many others however I had to create new Objects.ai & Weapons.ai files to make them AI capable. All of that is pretty simple though.
The more complicated part is navmeshing then playing the map over & over taking note of the bot's behavior/seeing if they get trapped anywhere, then making a variety of tweaks to get the bots to perform optimally on the map. It doesn't help that my laptop is an old junk Celeron which barely runs FH2 and takes a LONG time to generate a navmesh. Been trying to save for a decent pre-owned laptop but, medical issues consume all of my income.


As for Iwo Jima co-op, for the 64p I am currently working on an amphibious assault by the allies. When after taking the beach position, new tanks & other vehicles will spawn there. Also I believe the bots should be able to fly air support from the carrier. They'll have an F4U Corsair, F4F Wildcat, and a B-25 Mitchell. Air support will be vital for the allies to take Iwo Jima. The landing craft will include a variety of LVT's and so forth, then once a beachhead is established they'll get the Pacific M3A1 Stuart, trucks, and so on.

The stock CMP version of the map gives the Japanese a carrier, my co-op version omits this because it is not historically accurate. The Japanese will have minimal air support provided from Motoyama Airfield, that is until if/when it is captured by the allies. The Japanese however will have Type 96 25mm AA guns, Type 88 75mm guns, Type 1 47mm AT guns, various Type 92 Nambu's. They'll have a couple tanks too probably a Type 97 Chi-Ha, Type 95 Ha-Go, & Type 1 Ho-Ki armored carrier. Plus a couple trucks & a kurogane.

Generally I find co-op maps best played with bot ratios which are historically accurate, and my custom maps are balanced as such. On Iwo Jima for instance, the Japanese were outnumbered some 5 to 1 by the Americans. In FH2 however it isn't necessary to set the ratio to such extreme unless you wish to be steamrolled in minutes.

As stated earlier, I intended to have a little preview/teaser type video of Co-op CMP Iwo Jima released by now, however two weeks ago I had to go in for a surgery. Originally my scheduled date was not until March, but I had an emergency thus couldn't wait. I've been slowly, painfully, recovering. The pain had been so bad that when I tried to continue my work on Co-op I simply couldn't focus on it & often couldn't even remember how to do the simplest things. The pain has began to subside now, and I am resuming work.

Wow. Thanks for all that. I looked into navmeshing these maps myself at one point and it can be off putting realising that all the vehicles need setting up as well. But their is a gold mine of cool looking maps produced by CMP and Forgotten Honor.

Also thanks to Darman for the updated maps, what a life saver !
