We have now changed our Forgotten Hope 2-server into an INF-only!
Version: 2.15
IP: 80.73.49.110:16568
Rounds per map: 1
Ping limit: None
Mode: Conquest
Maps: Tunis 1943, The battle for Sfakia, Siege of Giarabub, Invasion of Crete, Fall of Tobruk
Map size: 32
Max slots: 64
Welcome!

This is quite interesting, nice turn.
But what I'm wondering - the maplist is very short - as you're playing the 32 size maps, aren't there any 32-versions of maps with little vehicle involvement? Would spice things a little up, I can imagine that playing 5 maps all over again might get somewhat monotonous with the time.
-
We'll start with this and se how it turns out.
You know in BF2 vanilla, Karkand only and Wake only is still going strong. Peoples doesn't seem to get bored ;)
-
You should put in maps like Supercharge 16, thats a real infantry map. And Mareth Line 16, the battle around Toujane is also very infantry. I guess you should gather with the Skyttegrav crew and play all the 16 player maps for 20 minutes to see what they are like and then put in a final map list.
-
I can't join in for a while, but next time I see this server with some people on it, I'll jump in. I really want to play some of the smaller map sizes for once.
I'm not to bothered about the small map selection, but I will second what Fuchs said about testing some other maps out.
-
Please, give us ideas and brief us in this FH2 jungle. We want to keep our server alive.
**************************
I would like to add: We at Skyttegrav.se are looking for a mature "clan" or "buddy team" that has FH2-knowledge and would like to help us out with our server. English as language is a demand.

No worries.
You guys have a great server, and I choose your sever over hslan any day of my life! :)
This is a good idea, by the way ;).
-
I'm looking forward playing with you guys on our server! :)
Remember to post your opinion, in a constructive matter. We appreciate it!
-
As I have never played other than 64 maps, I'll drop by from time to time.
Maybe you already have all of the following already, but it never hurts to post, so...
What I like about servers is if they have:
- friendly fire ON
- only one countdown (so not 15 secs while being "disabled" and then another 15 secs while "dead")
- TK punish off
- active admins
Maybe I'll add other things later.
-
I hate most inf maps especially giarabub but sfakia is good.
Why dont you put in some 16 player size maps that are big enough for 64 players or at least for 32 players. Those would be almost like new maps cause the gameplay is totally different.
And where is the hyacinth (or what ever was the name of that map). Its infantry map as well.
-
Great Magrioteli!
I'll play there tonight. ;)
-
Sended you a PM, Skyttegrav. Just so other 130th guys know.
-
Slayer,
we have FF on (and on mines too).
Punish is disabled (due to FF on all dangerous stuff there is), however when the server crashes that s*** gets enabled. We'll keep an eye on it!
Concerning the count down, we haven't altered anything from the mod's settings. We never do when it comes to modes. The mod-makers will be respected.
When admins are on-line - and they are if the server is up - we are active. And "strict". Not for kicks - but for the sake of that, playing at Skyttegrav.se shall be fun - and relaxing.
@ TroyMcClure, my old brother in arms, sorry the server was empty tonight but we do appreciate your concern.
Finally! Hopefully Skyttegrav.se will see the future in "Forgotten Hope 2", and that very soon.
So just stay tuned and hit us with your ideas.
See ya later,
Magrioteli

I admire you guys at Skyttegrav.se for pushing on so much with the FH community.
My experiences on your server (though limited, due to everyone queueing for hslan and not thinking out the box) have always been pleasant and fun. Your admins and staff all seem to be very down to earth too.
What's more, you actually seem to give a damn.
I would back up Fuch's comment, and cannot stress enough how much you should try the 16-player versions of all maps. This is where the real infantry combat is. Siege of Tobruk also has a very decent 16-player version, with infantry movements using covering fire while advancing through the various trenches.
Give it a go, they're a lot more fun and refreshing to play than Giarabulbablsomething, which is run by every other server, every other minute.
Although Sfakia never gets boring.
-
Awesome to see you did the right thing my swedish brothers! Now Hslan = largebattles Skyttegrav=CloseCombat
Well done!!!
-
How about: FH2 INF-style tonight!

Can you stick Battlerecorder on for tonight? Giarabub needs a movie done! 8)

Capten is there any way you can share a Battlerecorder file once you have donwloaded it, if you didn't fight in the battle you don't get access to the file, - I was just wondering...
-
I do belive that we have battlerecorder on but I have to check it out...
-
This has probably been said before,
But it would really do your server some good to turn off the whole needing 4 players to start a game. Have it at normal 2 players, its much more inviting that way.

I have no idea TBH. I would think it unlikley, I know Fraps captures clips in huge files, but how big would a full 45 minute round be? Are they compressed files? ???
-
battlerecorder files are not like movie files, they record who shot where and who died when, the details are then added by the engine.
-
Just been on Tunis! :)
4 v 3 :P
Got a couple of knife kills sticking daggers in the arses of MG34 gunners etc ;D
Went to download the battlerecorder file and this popped up in a window :- <Failed looking up the hostname> whats that all about folks? :(
* Is it that the battlerecorder file isn't saved in the correct file? Is it a server set up problem?
.
-
Concerning "battlerecorder" I can tell you all that it is not a public ftp or http-download from us.
We only use battlerecorder in order to catch cheaters (hackers) and such violations. (I use it time from time to make these poster I do for our server).
However, nothing is impossible - send me a private message and tell which date and time you want a demo file from, and will upload it on my ISP's web server and you can get it from there. NB! Just telling me that it was e.g. "Tunis" is not enough, since those files are pure data (as someone explained) and not a movie clip.
From that file (played in the game browser) you can make your own movie clip, using Fraps. And also compress it a lot. Fraps does huge files from the start, but rendering it in "Windows Movie Maker" or "Vegas" will make it smaller.
Any question about Fraps and such, send me a "PM".
Players to start!
If the mod makes allow two (2) players to start, we can set it. Of course! I was very unsure on that when I installed the mod and I could not find any information regarding it. "Better safe than sorry" I thought, and four it was.
What more - probably something I forgot! ;)
Thanks for supporting us,
Magrioteli - Superadmin

Ah I understand now, thanks for the explinations Magrioteli, perhaps we can organise a "filming session" one evening if we can get enough actors and extras to join the server, Giarabub would be good. ;D
-
hee guys i like inf so ill come out and play :-*
and ill like to act for you capten pm me (if i dont have to work :-\ )
-
Cool idea! ;D
-
OK! Magrioteli kindly went to the trouble of getting me some BR footage of Tunis. :D
Didn't take long to download, trouble was I buggerd up the FH2 shaders when playing about with demo file folders and it took me 45 minutes to uninstall and reinstall BF2/FH2 ::)
Playing about with some Tunis footage now.
Can we get some people on Skyttegrav server this WEDNESDAY evening say 9pm GMT? Giarabub? If we can get double figures it could be worth it. 8)
-
I'd love to drop by, but I can't this wednesday :(
-
I was on for a short while, first a little Crete and then Fall of Tobruk. It was a nice battle (I believe we came at 5 vs 5 and ended up 4 vs 4) that went up and down, but unfortunately the server crashed when we gained the upperhand for the second time.
I noticed many server messages about teamplay and stuff. Although this message is important, I think it could do with a little less, so it is less distracting from the game.
-
You disconnected Slayer, the server didn't crash :P
Had some fun on Crete, climbing on the monastery itself using the Kommando kit. Then going to my usual sniper spot on Fall of Tobruk and earning 15 kills then to discover we only had 3 teammates left so I marched out and just killed enemies until I got tired off it.
-
A heads up!
We've done some changes now.
First of all, the map-list:
(http://files1.bredband.net/cpuser_b224672/FH2/fh2_maps.PNG)
We now run 16-sized maps and 32 slots, and also 2 (two) rounds per map!
I am (some of us are) concerned though that even if we have checked the box "No vehicles" in BF2CC there are a lot of them. Not only trucks, but also some heavy duty machine with huge "cannons" mounted.
Even this one: Print Screen (http://files1.bredband.net/cpuser_b224672/FH2/bf2%202009-05-04%2023-15-27-34.jpg) can be very bad when you are running around in your shorts and a Panama-hat.
I haven't yet tried 16-sized maps, so I can't say anything about the ticket ratio.
Give us your feedback what you think.
Regards,
Magrioteli
PS. I would be fun if some from the FH2-dev crew came by the server and said: "Hello!" DS
-
Hyacinth 16? <begs on knees>

Hyacinth 16? <begs on knees>
O you mean sniper. I gonna dismantle every building higher than one floor, from now on. ;)
We've decided not to try Hyacinth as for now, just because it is a night map. (Isn't it?)
I will talk to Mephisto, who is our FH2-man, about that one. His opinion is that players are bailing the server when it pops up.
I have to confess, I do not know much about Forgotten Hope 2 (no offence team) more than the maps are very beautiful. But I will see to play it much more.
@ Slayer We have some auto messages yes, but no one concerning "team play". What we have is maybe sometimes a overkill, and the screen might get a bit "messy". We will look into that as well.
Thanks again for all feedback,
Magrioteli

It is the night map yes, the 64 player version scares other people but the 16 player version is just close quarters combat in the village, very nice map.
And I had a genius sniper spot but if you want to know it, ask me on Xfire :P

You might be right, maybe the 16 size map is cool. I'm not affraid to try it out, I'll add it to the maplist later.
Thanks for the feedback from everyone!

Well, I just wrote that so you would understand I was talking about auto messages ;) Don't delete them, just make them less noticeable...
Cheers!

They can't be made less noticeable. Either they are there, or not. No other option aren't available. Sorry!
I've now changed the the interval of time, so maybe it'll do the trick.
-
I think he means removing the '>>>' and putting them in lower-case, rather than caps.
I mean, we can see them. They don't have to attract attention that much.

Lower-case looks terrible and it is hardly readable in Auto Messages. So that won't happen.
The >>>> <<<< is there on all our servers just to make the text "highlighted".

By "making them less noticeable" I meant maybe you could diminish the number of messages shown, but seeing you changed the interval of time (I hope you increased it ;)), you probably have fulfilled my humble request already.

Join us tonight for some intence inf-action ;)

Why not make a publish on the Forgotten Honor website? You can gain some good players from it.
-
Never thought about it but I'll do it emediatly ;)
Thanks for the tip!

Wanted to play on your server again but FH2 instantly crashes when starting up. Think it is because I fixed my problem with BF1942.

Honestly!
What has your post to do with Skyttegrav.se as a gaming community?
In this thread we are talking about Skyttegrav.se and what its community can do for FH2!
Stay on topic!
-
For example, FHC's aim is to unify different FH communities in a simple manner. FHC keeps you aware of possible events such as scheduled games on servers (oh I dunno, MAYBE ON SKYTTEGRAV FOR EXAMPLE? HINT HINT) and lets people know about new FH-related things through different channels. Surely, it is insignificant little way to shine in the midst of all other sites and such, but it is there for community members to interact with each other.
You can if you wish to have Skyttegrav show up in the FHC's supported servers (showing server details in the main info) in a fashion Hslan is listed right now. Also, FHC can be used when you are scheduling an event on your server and you wish to see people. It doesnt guarantee people come because of it, but at least it spreads the word even that tiny little bit, which otherwise some might not notice that easy.
That's what FHC has to do with Skyttegrav. It is a small and quite insignificant source for news. But why would one leave it out when you want to advertise as much as possible?
Im not pushing it, I am only offering the little things what it can provide you.

I played yesterday on your server.
A few remarks :
- There was a 64 player version tunis on
- It needed 4 players to start the game
- I noticed lots of disconnect from myself and other players
- It was pity that not more players joined, we had a max of 6 players, but that didn't work with Tunis 64 players
Did you get my reports ? I used chat say all and !report ..
Keep up the good work and this will become a great inf. only server.
-
@ NTH
* It has not been 64 players since the 5th of May at some 1 PM. I changed to 16 maps and 32 slots that noon.
* Yes four (4) players is needed to start the server is due to that I/we do not have any information regarding to this from the crew. (1 on 1 sux, doesn't it?) ;)
* Concerning players that dropped or why no more joined, I cannot do a thing. Sorry! wish I could.
(Anyway, now you know where to find us and if you feel that you are one of ones that can bring anything to our FH2-server, do not hesitate to PM me). We are all ears!
* Reports?
What was those about?
!report is only to be used when server violations happens! And I did not see any of those! (Sometimes the "bot" crashes though...)
Later,

Hello All
the french team CONT@CT! also arrange a server in infantry only

;)
We would appreciate if you start your own thread concerning your server.
No offence, but the thread's name is: "Forgotten Hope 2 INF-only at Skyttegrav.se"
This thread is for feedback, ideas, questions and other things regarding our community's server.
Thank you,
Magrioteli

I used the reports to mention the the Tunis map was 64 player size. With 2 players on each side we could not cap the first because it requires 3 persons.
I will check in this server tonight.

Tunis only has the 64 size. You can't play it in 16 or 32 sizes.
