Assuming we start at 3:00 Pacific time, Which should be GMT - 7, Then I'm good to go.

People should start coming into the server by like 2:45 Pacific Time if they want a Guaranteed spot in the competition.

This competition is going to be First come, first serve right?

Or is it going to be password protected?

Well, we could always have spectators

The maps will be uploaded later today. I sent Dauntless (the dude who owns the server) the Dalian map last night so he could try to get it working.
Ill post links in this topic when they are hosted, along with install instruction (it will require some manual copy+pasting of the existing dalian and fushe maps so we can have 6mb downloads and not 60mb ).

They wont be on fileplanet, but on my old CSS clans FTP (it disbanded and is up until next year!). So you wont have to be signing up for it.

Thanks for the comments on the maps fellas. All made with our own Citizen Ones modding guide on the wiki

Oooo motherfuck. We're getting a few drops going on. I hate the timezones. The time in Washington state would be quite a bit early if game time is at 10:00PM GMT. I think it would be either 1:00 or 2:00 PM. Crap.

Ok, we'll try to fill the server with the guys who have pre-registered and we'll accept a few randoms if we dont end up filling it. Give some BF2 buddies a call if we dont fill the server, get em to get the maps and such.
Should it not ever take off, we'll delay the tournament date and try to give a greater advance warning.
I'm gonna keep the team listings as is, and the randoms can join whoever, so long as the teams are even.

GMT is London time, which is eight hours ahead of Pacific time. so a 10:00PM start time would mean 2:00PM for you.....which means shit. The time you said would be the time in Atlantic Canada at 3PM Pacific. I hope that makes sense.

Above for the second question. No password for the server.

The teams will be split as is shown on the first page, with first comers having choice of gunner/driver. Also, if two people ABSOLUTELY want to be together (such as Surgeon and Jord) then they are paired up.
I really want this to work out........

Whats so confusing about that? GMT is London time.
Look at the OP.

If your timezone is GMT -7, then its 3PM in your area.
If your timezone is GMT +1, then its 11PM in your area.

Got it?

You can find the map previews and information here: http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?pi … 1#p1337461

Note: It is best that you know the basic workings of Windows Explorer!!

Installing Dalian Flightdeck Madness

Browse to C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield2\mods\bf2\levels Or where ever your BF2 install is.
Copy the Dalian_Plant folder.
Browse to C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield2\mods\xpack\levels
Paste the Dalian_Plant folder into here.
Download this file: BF2s Dalian Flightdeck Madness

DO NOT UNZIP THIS FILE. Just place it into the new Dalian_Plant folder created (C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield2\mods\xpack\levels\Dalian_Plant). It will ask you if you want to overwrite the existing file. Say yes.You now have the official bf2s forklift modded version of Dalian Plant!Just open up Battlefield2: Special Forces, start a multiplayer server, choose the 64player map size and try it out ===============================Installing FuShe Airfield Annihilation

===============================

If in doubt, post in this topic. I hold no responsibility if you manage to delete/damage anything related to your installation of Battlefield 2 and its expansions/mods whilst doing this.

The reason for doing all of this is to allow you all to download two 6Mb files, rather than two 60Mb files.
120Mb x 32 potential players = 3.75Gb of downloading!!!!

Also note, that when you load up SF and try to start a new server, it will display the map names as "Dalian Plant" and "FuShe Pass". This is correct. I tried changing them, but encountered a crash. With more time, I would have been able to sort this out. These maps have been quickly put together for our wars, so dont complain!!

Bratwurstschnecke: Member; +77|6897|respawn screen

Both maps are working fine for me. Nice Work Snake. The Essex can take out 6 Forklifts before it overheats, even the Blackhawk can take out a lot of them.

I tried some "crashing" on Fushe and my own Forklift took as much damage as my target. Did some "wheelies" with it. I think you will have a lot of fun.

Suggestion: Both teams should have a spawnpoint near the action to get there quick and let the dead people watch. Use Spectators as Squadleaders/Spawnpoints. I would love to even just watch it. Have Fun!

VERY NICE WORK. Praiseto Snake for making this possible
I tested both maps, and they are working great.
For those having issues with the installation, you probably didnt follow Snake's instructions to the letter.
Tell us exactly what you did, and we can probably fix it
Killer, you better patch your damn SF, we need all the players we can get.
Again, if we dont fill up the server with the sign-ups, bring in a friend or someone who'd be interested in this.

I really like your spectator idea Bratwurst. Maybe use the side sections on the carrier(the little walkways that hang over the edge) as a "seating area" and the pyramid wall on FuShe. Those will hopefully protect the spectators from stray RPGs. It would do for a good blooper in the movie though
We only need 16 forklifts total. They have a SIX minute respawn time so dont go blasting them unnecessarely.
Alrighty. One more day people.

I put the download here.

When i load up sf i can create a server and play Dalian. Only it's normal Dalain .

Any help would be great.

Ok, first things first. DO NOT EXTRACT. Once you have the server.rar file,(its a pile of books for an icon) you cut and paste into your dalian_plant folder

yes.

EDIT-What size Dalian did you put?
