mAAp Project / Re: Simple Questions in the Editor
« on: Monday, May 21, 2012, 14:26:34 PM »
another stupid problem im having. If i placed an ammo pickup in my map but it placed it somewhere and i cant find it and it is causing errors. Is there a way to select this actor without knowing where it is?
Edit > Search For Actors

That should work. Never tried it for ammo pickups.

I tried putting ammo in City Block but it kept giving me an error, probably the same as yours, about being embedded in the geometry regardless if it was or not. I don't think you need to worry about it seeing as building Square gives me the same error but the ammo is completely usable.

Honor set to 63. It should update the next time you log into Assist.

I say give him the 2.5 editor. I'd like to see what he can make from scratch though. When it comes to making maps, creativity is just as important as knowing all the technical aspects of the editor. It doesn't matter how much you know if you can't create a balanced and creative map.

VIP spawning with a breacher seems illogical, maybe he can find one on a table near his spawn?
A hospital having a door breacher lying around seems just as illogical. :P

Assist honor : 35
Tracker honor : 94
If battletracker is showing the correct honor there's nothing we can do about it. All we can do it change the honor on battletracker adn then assist pulls the numbers off of battletracker. Are you sure it's the correct account?

Hey now, this thread is starting to lack drama. Do I need to start banning some random users and start giving myself admin on servers?
yes.

This is your problem, Americas army 2.5 is a terrible looking old game. The only reason people play it is nostalgia / dislike of other games. I highly doubt any new players would pick this game up unless they are 13 years old and looking for a free to play game and frankly, I dont want to be in a community overun with kids. Give up on the advertising, its not going to work.
This is something I wanted to say. AA is a very old game and doesn't have much appeal to gamers due to bigger and better games. The majority of the population we have are players that have played AA for a long time and don't want to move on to other games. I don't think advertising is going to do much for it.

Hmm, maybe I'm ignorant, but was there any signifiicant 2.5 community before 2.8 died?
Depends on the time frame. In the time right before auth went down, not really. A couple of servers were up, but not much.  But 2.5 was still kicking and alive when 2.8.5 was out. We had more people on 2.5 than we do now. We had several tournaments and a lot of clans. The AA we have now is a shell of what 2.5 used to be, even when 2.8.5 was out. That's how many players AA has actually lost.

I completely understand that point of view, but I still wouldn't call ppl narrow-minded if they don't try something new or different.
But that is the very definition of being narrow minded. An unwillingness to try new things.

First of all, huge thanks to all the people, current and the former, who keep this site and Assist running and make it possible to us to play the game we love.

This is something that I don't understand really. If people are not interested in something or they do something else that you guys want, they are always narrow-minded, they don't appreciate what have been done, they are bitching etc.

I don't think you are understanding the point. If they are too stuck in their old ways (playing maps like pipeline or Urban Assault) and they're not willing to try new things, that's being narrow minded. It has nothing to do with whether they like the new thing or not, but whether they're willing to try and accept the new thing. This is a topic we never really discussed. If the players tried mAAp maps and didn't like them, then we can't call them narrow minded. Also, there is a difference between suggesting changes and complaining about the current setup saying we need changes. I will say that Spanky seemed a little defensive to the suggestions, but really he's had to deal with a lot of people complain about his hard work he did for free.

Where were you 4 years ago to tell me this? :D

Seriously though, I only aimed high because of reception. If I could quantify interest in the form of weights on a scale versus the actual play time, you would see that it's highly imbalanced. There has been so many "yea that's cool dude" and "omg custom maps, sweet!" kind of comments. People seem to think it's a good idea and that's why I invested time but when it comes down to it, those enthusiastic people are off playing Urban Assault. It's either a massive troll or a slap in the face, I'm still not sure which.
It's more down to people playing the maps they're used to and know. Hell, half of the normal AA maps don't get played, it's not just about mAAp. Not to mention people would rather join servers with people already in them. If we actually tried to get mAAp servers up we could with 4 people. Hell, we've had over 20 people on your server before. Blue and I got 10 people on SF_Refinery at like 4am before just by ourselves. The interest to play custom maps is there, I've been in full mAAp servers before, there just needs to be a bit of a jump start to get people to join. A new update might spark some interest, but again, we need to have a willingness to play the game to get people to join the servers, which I know you lack.

Kind of unrelated, but I can't help but feel that we would have way more players had they done 2.8.5 instead of 2.5.

posting from my cell.

doing things for free is part of the gaming communities. whether it is anticheat, being a volunteer for game devs and what not. it is part of the gaming communities.

But doing things for free doesnt prevent from looking at all possible ways to grow the community.
Suggestions are posted, devs review suggestions and accept or deny.

Right now, what I have seen so far is devs saying "i quit. people dont like what i did, i quit"
That sounds to me like "my way or the highway".

you dont like the ideas? then say so and we move on. you think you have better ideas on how to get more people in Assist? post them.

And now there is talk of a new project? as in moving way from this one? why? the way to grow the community is by working together
In no way would this project close. Pit runs the servers and you can easily finds other people to look for cheaters and another site seeing as this one apparently isn't good enough. Just because a few people move on doesn't mean the end of AA 2.5.

I think the whole Headshot team should come together and start a new project, something that has the potential to turn a profit and maybe turn into a business, doing big time consuming projects like this one for free is a waste of talent.
I'm sure you guys could come up with something nice.

Guys, I am not bitching or complaining. If I offended anyone, my apologies.
I am just putting down ideas to hopefully help grow Assist and the community.
To grow the community, we need to be open minded and willing to look outside the box.

Let me also say this. This is not about power grabbing or power struggle.The whole community is thankful and appreciates what was done by Jonny, Spanky, Jared, Blue and others.  We are all thankful and appreciative.

What the issue is about is growing the community. Get new blood in. And as far as I am concerned all means are good.
You have to understand, they're doing this all FOR FREE. That means their taking time out of the daily lives and work schedules just to upkeep this site, FOR FREE. It's really annoying when you're doing something for free and people keep wanting other stuff, not even caring about you or your time.

Noted! I just have a player name but really no evidence on him other than how he plays for a player that was never anything higher than a low skill , atleast in competitive scene.
Say , would a demorec be proof good enough evidence to ban a player?
Depends on what it shows. If he is blatantly hacking, like his aim is snapping to players, then yeah. If it is just some player doing really good, then no.
