AE for C4 verson 2

**Bluetiereign** · 10-29-2003, 12:29 AM

Does a great job. Threw everything I could at it and got busted every time. Gonna have to find a different server if I'm ever gonna win a match I guess. Good work bud.

Hey inso, I am a little curious about the 1h, cause i tried it a long time ago and there was no discernable difference between 1h and 3h. has this changed in version 2 ?

**Inso «Ð*§*§»** · 10-29-2003, 08:57 PM

Hey ws, I think your refering to the advance mode and yes your correct in that advanced and normal are both 3h in TDM and DM not sure about coop. I believe the only difference in multi-games with advanced is for a coop where the AI are ummm smarter. lol Far as I know v2 works the same. I am stating pilots are changed to 1h because I am changing there health to 33% of that for a 3h.

Hope that helps!

Hey Wiper i have been flying at 8h then changing back to 3h while I fly the server. When I fly at 8h AE changes my health to 1h I see it on the health bar. And yes theres a major diff in how many hits i can take. One good hit at 1h and your dead.

Last night (with some very appreciated help from pitfighter and some very patient players) I worked on resolving some more issues with the messaging and autopunt. I just put the lastest update on the server for testing, which includes health messages, efam messages and auto punt options for both. DO NOT FORGET, you MUST fire 2 missles before dropping your efams, or load without them from the farp menu!!!

Health and efam messages are enabled and it will auto punt for either after (6) six messages. Each player is tracked seperatly as are the health and efam's and the current number the player is on is displayed in the message. Fill the house and let me know how it goes. If you keep it full Ill be done sooner!!!!!!!

Also I will be posting an image of the new interface later tonight or tommorrow so everyone can see what it will look like as everything in it has changed.

Question for you Inso. when someone takes advantage of the Efams Bug,Are
They tracked buy login name or Ip??

**Inso «Ð*§*§»** · 10-30-2003, 07:27 PM

Hey JJ, no currently they are not logged in anyway except the number of times they attpemt it while in the server. I assumed that autopunting them after 3/6/9 (preset number of times before punting) attempts at getting it would be enough, as once there punted they also loose there score. Also realize JJ that player names are really easy to change, and the fact that AE will now tell you when/who its happening I suspect that those doing it wont be using the names we all know them by!!! As well tracking by ip can be usless in some cases (IE dynamic IP's from cable modems, dsl 's could be tracked as they dont change that often but dialup's are pretty much useless to log as they change at each re-connect)

A future thought may be an auto ban after x number of attempts but not sure it really is needed. Anyone care to comment on the need of an autoban?

Mabe setting it as a server op is the way to go, If that can't be done then I say don't do it. The stuff the player does like use the efam cheat wont work, And I want to be able to fly at 1H and crash to fix being invis even if i lose a point waiting to reload the game takes time from my play and makes the server have to send me all the info again to reset my game.

Reaper, Isops, my hats off to you guys for all the work and check rides you do. Even with the few bugs, It seems as though it's time for some tactics, which I like because it evens the playing fields.

Hello Inso,
Just wanted to let you know that SON squad supports you on the making of AE for ver. 2. We are looking forward to the arrival of it. If you ever need pilots in a test server for it, please post a message when you are going to put server up. We are the most active squad in C4 now, and I know I can get at least 8 pilots there in a moments notice. Keep up the good work!!!! and please know that SON squad is patiently waiting for the finished product.!!!!!

Hello, thanks for the offer Nuggetman. Ive been slowly working out a few kinks, and it appears that most are caused by the in game mess. being scrolled to let pilots know what and when. Everything thus far is ok with the 8h issue it will change 8h pilots to 1h (which is quite fun to fly) The efam patch seems to be functioning ok so far, remeber to fire atleast 3 missles before droping them or load without them from the farp. I added the cannon patch to the 8h portion as at 8h you get 999 rounds, only the first 500 will damage anything the other 499 are useless. I have a few more things to try with the messages but if it still causes issues Im just going to leave them out. I will have a server up this afternoon and for the most part thru the weekend. I am suppose to host a match tommorrow so that will be the tell tale sign as to the current progress and how its doing. Ill let you know how that goes.

I had planned on having this done by thanksgiving weekend but got side tracked helping a buddy work on something, to all I appologize for the delay.

Hello again INSO
If you need someone to beta the AE, I'll be happy to do so. I run a hot server on a Athlon 64 fx and have a 4.7meg down/750 up connection. SON has a practice scheduled this sunday and can run it through it's paces.

**GarretJax** · 12-08-2003, 03:26 PM
