Hey Col! not seen you for a while.

Well lets get a list of maps then for Echo to set up.

Map	Rating	Played
Street	10/10	Y
Helmand	N/A	N
Basrah	N/A	N

edit:p.s.can we maybe get a list of those who are wanting to play and then maybe get some squads sorted out just for a laugh? See how a bit more organisation goes, and if people want to try playing in a set squad more, then getting used to each others style of play?Try to get one complete squad and then even a second if we can? All get on TS, and get some proper communication going. Then FOLLOW MY ORDERS! No solo shit, proper squad work._{also so I can create another fancy table!}

Squad	Player	Role
1	the_dude_5b	Squad Leader
1	Superfly_Cox	Medic
1	Col64	Medic
1	Evil_Beh	Sniper

For now i ve only put in streets in the extract cycle, we can add maps while  we re playing if there's a need for it.

can't change the map cycle / add maps without rebooting the server

Yes you can.

well just give me a shout when you're going on over xfire - i'll join you.

Couldn't get TS to work at all tonight.  And noone on my squads was using VOIP.  Street also seems like a map which is far too loaded against the Brits. Very unsatisfactory all round. moan moan

good fun on the server tonight, extraction defiantly got the server started - yays! - but the game play was iffy. Streets is a pretty good map, but it turns into to a stalemate where both sides camp and whoever dares to take a look around a corner is greeted with hot lead. - But it was fun

I had fun last night, these extraction maps are cool. Lol @ Superfly, he killed the vip and got -50 for it.

I took raid out of the cycle for now cause we lost alot of players on it yesterday. Also i ve changed the start delay from 90 to 60 seconds. I m gonna stick with extraction maps for a week and see how it goes. As soup pointed out, there's hardly any extract servers and last night we had the only one that was populated. It also filled the server in no time.

joined last night on the Helmand map and think there is some sort of bug as the once the team reach the extraction point the round doesnt end.

Next map was bigger and I was getting really laggy for some reason so had to leave. Joined later on for the end of a Street map, then one round of Helmand again, but again there seems to be a bug on this map.

Was good fun, although still getting used to the extraction style of play and the maps.

Yea sorrry about the 64 player size on albasrah, that was my mistake. It forgot to change it to 32 players while setting up the server last night.

About the bug, the vip got the vip kit but we didnt meet the requirements for completing the crashsite task so when we got back to the extraction point nothing happened. It worked on other maps so i think we just didnt meet the requirements for some reason.

So what do you think of trying this cycle out for a week and see how it goes? Muttrah is taken out in 0.6 which is to be released soon so we need a new starting map.

Extraction

There are 3 different types of extraction game modes.

SUV VIP Escort

In this mode an SUV must be escorted from a hostile location to a friendly location. The SUV may also be required to pass through checkpoints along the route. The minimum number of checkpoints is two, the start and end.

    * If the SUV is destroyed, the SUV respawns at the start and all checkpoints are reset.

    * If the SUV is empty there is a heavy ticket bleed against that team.


Player VIP

There will be a VIP Kit on the ground available for a player to pick up. Once this is picked up, that player becomes the VIP.

    * The player VIP may not be a Squad Leader or Commander. Doing so will give a 10 second warning. In that time, the player must leave the squad or resign as commander. If they do not comply the player will be killed.
    * Friendly players may not pick up the VIP kit when the VIP player is critically wounded. This is to prevent "player hopping" the kit to the destination. A friendly player who picks up the VIP kit when the VIP Player is critically wounded will get the 10 second warning. If the player does not drop the VIP kit, he will be killed.
    * Enemy players may not pick up the VIP kit. Doing so will kill them instantly.
    * VIPs may have to pass through multiple checkpoints, of which there is a minimum of two, the start and the finish checkpoints.
    * If the VIP is killed, the kit goes back to the beginning and all checkpoints are reset.


Pilot Rescue

In this mode a pilot near a crash site must be "rescued" and evacuated to safety. To "rescue" the pilot a player must pickup the pilot kit.

I see you are doing great with extraction maps guys! Great job!

Meh, why is everyone having problems with VoIP?
The last times I played on the server it was definitely working.

Cool stuff. So streets and helmand are pilot rescue maps.

Maybe we need some ingame messages cause theres alot of people that dont understand what needs to be done.

Indeed, good idea. - Is there any chance that we may be able to get Voip working on the server, I mean PR just isn't PR without the Voip side and communicating to your squad and vice-versa

Voip is working on all the our servers mate. I used it last night on the pr server.

Btw ive put in these 2 auto messages.

British forces go to the CRASHSITE, rescue the pilot (get the pilot kit) and evacuate the pilot to the EXTRACTION POINT to win.

Insurgents have to stop the British forces to win.

Its displayed every 15 seconds.
