Channel Command is back (Slim Online version)

[hc_wolf]

Thanks Kodoss,

I will check through these tonight as I have some spare time.

Looks like I mixed some of the Actor2(de) with the Actor1(gb)

Won't take long to adjust

I was happy the slight changes I made last night let the server run through 3 cycles of the mission with no errors except for this speech. So it ran for over 15 hours which is great.

Now I can just focus on refining the missions with new elements.

List for Actor1 de=gb check complete.

missing sounds.zip

It's an open office chart, that shows the existing sounds of one folder, but missing in it's counterpart.

3 special cases in the de/Actor1 folder:
-"060" and "60" are the same(double?) but "060" has a better sound quality
same goes for "090" and "90"

-"group" exist in both de and gb, but you have also "Gruppe"(which means group) in de.

-"I_dont_have_a_visual" exist in both, but in de/Actor1 it's empty. But you have "I don_t_have_a_visual" with sound in de/Actor1.

PS, my personal favorite: "Is_that_a_Heinkel_59_or_what_was_it"

Hello! Update 22.08.2012

Well looks like all bugs are out now. So just minor tweaks to do like speach. But nothing that craps the server.

Today I updated most missions and I am introducing some new aspects to the game. Menu 5 & 6

I have condenced the supply and added a value for each. Planes really do fly to the airports and if shot down then no supply.
Also below you will see the new missions or Strategic elements added. These require score points or supply.
Hope you enjoy!


Server 2 is up so jump on and have a try.

One thing I've noticed when the Blitz Dorniers attack is that on their return journey on the deck past Deal they seem to go very strange near the ground, warping and sliding all over the place, despite my being the only person on the server and having a very good connection and ping.

Hey! If anyone is interested, I added a new feature to give stats during the mission and periodic times. Most of all it assists when reviewing the log to see what went on.

You can see when stages increase, when AI limits are reached and how many players are on and what objectives are met etc..

77 missions ran over the 6 hours with no errors

Unfortunately I cannot post up the entire log as the txt file is 165K which is bigger than the 19K allowed. So here is a cut version showing some of the mission.

Here is a log of last night’s 6.1 hours of play if you are interested

hey wolf mate

two feature requests:
- please add a map grid position for each airfield/town name in a message (it's a pin in the ass to locate many of the small ones I personally don't know)
- link aircraft actor with pilots (assign pilots entering the server an ID, then put that id in a variable in each aircraft actor that pilot is spawned).. in this way, you will know which human pilot(s) were downed when an AI aircraft (as the pilot left it) crashes
