Server Request

[Kinetic]

I know MPUK used to be an excellent provider of public BF1942 servers, this seems to have dropped off a bit now obviously concentrating on looking after is paying customers which is no bad thing as i was one for two years :)

Im not sure if you guys still host any BF 1942 public servers anymore but i'd like to request you host a public Forgotten Hope (BF mod) server

There are VERY few UK servers for FH, two infact, which means most UK players have to play on either german or US servers , Being english i dont understand the german language which makes it difficult and playing with high pings on US servers aint much fun

FH is becomming more popular and with a new version just around the corner im sure its popularity will only increase

I know its alot to ask but plz consider my request

Thx :)

Multiplay.co.uk :: Forgotten Hope #1

bf1942://212.42.10.149:14567

It'll only stay up if it gets used, so get playing. :)

In addition, i've no idea what a 'good' maplist for FH should be, so if the one on there now is awful; let me know.

Excellent news thanks GeeDee, i've just checked the map list and server settings,having played FH for quite some time now i'll like to make a few suggestions on how to make the server popular

Maps:

First off remove ALL pacific maps,there are problems in the knee mortor on the japanese kits that cause servers to crash,this will be fixed in the new patch due out this month

Most popular maps to use (in no particualr order) :

Crete
Desert Rose
Stalingrad (fh version)
Supercharge
Orel
Valirisk
Prokhorovka
The Storm
Arnhem
Breakthrough
Falaise Pocket
Gold Beach
Operation Goodwood
Operation Nordwind
Sector 318
Omaha Beach Charlie Sector
Foy
Alamein
Bulge
Gazala


Settings should be :

FF = 100%
No death cams
auto kick on 4 Tk's or - 4 score
1 x 60 minute round or 2 x 30 minute rounds
Tickets approx 400%
Round start delay of around 60 seconds so slow loaders can join in time


Two further suggestions i would like to make and the first one being rather cheaky :P

Plz consider upping the player numbers of the server, the smaller server just dont seem popular with FH as quite alot of the maps are very large and dont work with small player numbers


Second is a slight change to the server name

Multiplay.co.uk :: FH 0.65

Would be a clearer discription of the server and avoid confusion


And again i'd like to express my appreciation and hope the changes will improve popularity of the server & MPUK :)

[GeeDee]

Ok. I've accomodated all those changes for you.

Server settings are now as you specified and the maplist contains most of of the maps you listed.

I've upped the player limit to 24, but i'll have to keep an eye on the CPU usage of this server and scale it back if it gets silly.

Let me know how it goes. :)

Giles.

Thx again :)

Sorry to bug you again GeeDee but is there any chance you can add more maps to the server plz,the current 10 just doesnt seem enough ,ideally we should have between 20-25 from those listed above,ppl have been playing on the server but soon become bored of the same few maps


also the actual game start delay seems very long,not the loading of the next map but the delay between the end of one map and the start of the loading for the next map ,it does take quite a while is that the 'gamestartdelay' setting ? ,if possible plz reduce that to around 20 and leave the current 'roundstartdelay' as it is ,60 i believe ?

Ive soke to ppl on the server that say they prefair 1 x 60 minute round rather than 2x30 minute rounds, dont know if you feel this needs changing but players do seem to prefair the 60


Thx in advance for looking into it :)

Hi GeeDee

Well the new FH patch is out so hopefully it will bring in more players to the multiplay server

As mentioned above plz can u set the server to 1 round only ,say about 45 minutes round time

the new linux server files can be found here:

http://serverstall.de/downloads/FH_V066_WINDOWS_SERVER_FULL.rar

Plz add ALL the avalaible FH maps to the cycle (including the pacific ones which have now been fixed)

And it maybe wise to change the name of the server to 0.66

Thx :)

Any news on the server update ? :(
