HypperLobby&Mods

[FS~Phat]

Im an old boy from Fire Squadron, "Skies of Fire" servers and its been hard for the guys in our squad that manage our servers to keep re-doing stuff when mod patches come out. It's especially hard now we have 3-4 distinct routes to choose which are not compatible. HSFX, UP2, UP3 or stock.

While I have long enjoyed the odd mod on our servers, I'd be happier in COD to see more players online with more detailed maps than more mods and less players, which is what tends to happen on mod servers.

As for HL, Im all for it, its a much better intuitive interface with more info.

Well what is online play like now? I live in Canada so I won't have COD till July so I have no clue what online play is like. I've been on the Hyperlobby almost every day for 10 years now and I think the Hyperlobby would be perfect for COD unless it's pressent system is better but I don't see how anything could be much better than the Hyperlobby.

The one which can be accesses by pressing the Client button, NOT the Lobby one.

Isn't it allready possible to run mods right now? Both conf.ini and confs.ini have "VAC=1" as standard. If a host/server puts this to VAC=0 I think you can connect with all mods without Steam ever banning you, since it's VAC that checks your game integrity and with it disabled on the server VAC won't check or care what goes on on that specific server.

Well online play will save Cliffs Of Dover for sure in my opinion and it looks like this in game thing is a disaster. If the game progresses threw the war years as the IL-2 searies did North Africa Russia 1943 44 Western Front then again in my opinion nothing will stop it especially with the heavy duty flight sim war history nuts out there. I hope The Hyperlobby people find a way to get a spot for COD on the game list so all of the online wars and big servers like Spits VS 109s & War Clouds WF can get into action with this sim and patch after patch things are getting better and better.

As the use of unchecked mods will bring this sim to the state of IL2 very poor numbers online and little chance of finding servers without the use of said mods.

I know this is a big deal to the modders as they feel they saved IL2 1946 but the numbers
just show thats not so. Pre mod early 2008 always had between 9-14 hundred onliners on
weekends down to current 3-4 hunded onliners mostly using the must have mod servers.

I for one will not buy this sim if moders are allowed to run amuck again.

Petrosky:

I agree, I played IL2 from the beta, but gave up when I had to keep changing the modded version, it just all got to hard.
