lol im getting a t-maps error aswell, mostly casue im playing with a def version of T-Maps game side then what Shad is using on his side.

Ah well Dead.and.Broken reported that issue as having a semi-colon instead of a colon in the icon target address.  I have no idea what T-Maps is.

This was mentioned briefly by Merlin in the 'server will assist auth down' thread, but here is a way to do it and save all your favorite servers using an icon for each using your existing assist installation - and you don't have to uninstall assist or download anything.  I hope it comes back.  We have put up servers that work with the existing assist installation.  I think rapture has a thing where you download some files to make the SAI work, but I am not sure it works ok with our servers yet.



Note:  If system folders are hidden on your system, search may not find ArmyOps.exe.  Open up 'My Computer' or 'Computer' from the start menu, and paste the following:
%AppData%\25Assist\armyops\System
and the folder containing ArmyOps.exe will show.





Our three server addresses are:
82nd.us:1948       Pipeline regular with mod weapons
82nd.us:2064       SF Pipeline
82nd.us:2180       Anything But Pipeline!

Any other server addresses should work as long as the servers are using assist maps and textures.
82nd.us/modules/news has # of players in each 82nd server if you want to visit there.

The 'beta' team isn't large enough to find every problem and be effective, given the community size.  I suggest extensive use of a bugtracker (maybe use sourceforge's) and have the links to it on this website.  That way you can monitor trends and get the best intelligence on what the problem might be.

Hell no.

Not sure if this is a new problem or not.There are three processes started - the aa server, the 'serverx', and the bash export processes.  I created a script to end task on all three processes, and restart the server.  The only change was that before, I was killing them off using groupid instead of killing them off by each pid.
When I go into the server, it seems to work ok for about a min, then gun quits working.
When I exit the server, Assist will say at the bottom "Server logfile not present" or "Server Offline" and it will persist in saying that on random occasions.
Any insight as to why that happens?

True.  I had a bunch of chat bindings and control bindings from waaayyy back.  Tried re-install, no go. 

Perhaps a better pick-a-weap mod would be a more elegant answer. Having different modes such as rifle, machine gun or explosives to stop people from using a rpg when everybody else is having a pistol match. Then maybe allow 1 or 2 people per team to have an AR or something like that.

I have the decompiled uscript for pickaweap and modified it to remove RPGs and grenade choices.  Recompiling it with 2.5 is where I got stalled.  But I didn't try to hard.   In the end, we used hackhunter to limit nades and left the rest in place thinking Assault teams would come up with effective choices, e.g. cover vent, chastise the spawn campers, ect. but we kept getting flooded with those damn new player noob spawn campers.

I've heard very little positive things about AA4. I guess we'll see. Also, your post about Pipeline being a balanced map for mods  is pretty untrue. It's a defense oriented map already, and mods just perpetuate that. Getting 203/RPG'd/SF scoped/incendiary'd from 3 different entrances and every other noob sitting in main pump isn't fun.

The skill came in overcoming those obstacles with a good assault team with experienced players.  It was more about team planning than individual equality.  I'll admit though, having noobs camping on assault has been a tough challenge to deal with.  I'm not hating the change, just voicing my opinions and observations.  I can't speak for everybody who has tested AA4, but I can say it is a definite improvement over AA3.  Those that play Rambo will probably not like it, as it requires team cooperation.
