Pressure Cooker - Thursday Nights

[Mirfster Profile]

Hmm, would be nice if there was a way to simply make the same weapon sets available to all teams. That way regardless of what team, everyone could choose their preferred rifle. Something like having the KAR, Mosignat, Enfield and Springfield (unscoped) would be pretty cool.

Think that I have seen this on other servers in the past, but not sure how if it would work with the mod on the PC. I'll do a little digging myself and if I see anything I will let you know.

Saw this set of instructions and thought that it may be of assistance:

Hello everyone. I'm new to the site, but I've played on your CTF server a few times.

I stumbled upon this thread and after reading the two posts from Mirfster above I think I have the mod he's looking for. Even if you only need it as a reference.

It's version 1.7 of the Bolts and Snipers Mod made by DaniFilth. This version of the mod was not made by Dani, but someone extended version 1.5 of his mod to include the Unscoped Springfield. When it's set up for bolt action rifles only (my personal favorite type of gameplay) it offers all 4 rifles to each player to choose from. I think it also has the no dust mod built in as well.

If you haven't already found this and would like to have it for reference or testing just let me know. You can add me on Xfire or send me an email.

I hope this helps. If not, at least I tried.

I appreciate all the ideas.

Here are a few of mine:

First I am no coder so everything I have done has been eye candy, ear candy, and via trial and error lumping a few features into the mod that Gitman created.

Because we run the anarchic mod its not just a simple matter of adding another mod to the server to get the features we would want. Whatever I do has to work with the mod or we loose the gametype (Pressure Cooker) and the overtime style of game play that we seem to like.

That said I'll see what I can do to patch together something using cut and paste...then see if it work...if I can figure it out. Failing that I'll have to plant the idea in Gitmans head and see if he can find time to build those features in.

Second...I can simply avoid the lee enfield issue by changing what allied force is played on any given map. Repalcing the Brits with US or russian teams.

Third we have some players and supporters that like using other weapons including mgs. I dont want to exclude them from the server or make them feel like they arent having fun. To that end I made a number of scripts so that that I and CT can change the weapons setup on the fly. We have all weapons, bolts only, rifles only, shotguns only and hgs only.

Fourth I'd like to have a weapons setup that lets a "squad" outfit themselves with limited types of weapons. For example 1 sniper, 1 heavy mg, 1 mg, with any additional players having to take a bolt or semi. Then teams would need to work more closely together. Currently I cant do this with the mod because only snipers and shotguns can be limited in number. This would have to be another gitman feature request unless I can hack something up based upon the code he already developed. What will take me a week or two of experimenting would take him an hour or two...lol

Fifth I want to fix some of the flag locations so that some of the good maps are more equally balanced in terms of where teams spawn in relation to the flags.

Last I need feedback from you guys so please keep it coming. Its much appreciated. That means the mod and the maps too.

Usually people start migrating from the AX CTF Server to the PC around 8 and yes it is always a lot of fun.

[Rhino]

Thats usually the official time but last week I think we started around 5 or 6 pm...cant say why but it was fun.

I'm trying to get the new variant of the mod up today too.

[cam Profile]

Ok I'll keep a watch on it and try and get in on the fun. Look forward to checking out the new variant of the mod even though I won't know the difference from the old one since I'm a first time visitor to the Pressure Cooker.

Just remember, your only mission is to bash spawnalot as much as you can.

[SpawnAlot Profile]

Got me a Thursday off so I will finally get back in the game tonight.

Be sure and get on Teamspeak, Cam. That is where half the fun is.

Just remember, your only mission is to bash spawnalot as much as you can.

Well that hasn't been too hard to do lately, just ask C.T.

But just for you, Poison, I'm gonna use the other end of my gun.

Hi all..

We will be playing tonight. Like always there are a few map changes and I'm trying to get the updated mod out there.

Here is what's changed:

Updated flags
Updated uniforms -Tweaking camouflage contrasts
Modified Worldcup map
New font in the mod
Less compass indicators. No more friendlies. Down to just the flag positions...good luck
Moved flag positions on Destroyed Village

I expect an increase in team kills...again..at least on my part.

For those who dont know...PressureCooker is a special game type we play that emphasizes team play, and communication.
The gametype is a mix of ctf and lts.

The server ip is 66.150.221.90:28960

Bring a friend..come play with us and give me some feedback. I rely on you guys to make the game even better.

Cya there...

Sounds like fun Rhino!

[Rhino]

Fun stuff guys. I hope you had fun too.

Found a couple of things I missed in the mod mods....

The german convict uniforms designed by Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp era) were a big hit.

People seemed to adjust to the lack of teammates on the compass although I killed my teammate Herman Blart twice on the same map. Sorry about that Blart .

I already know I want to differentiate the uniforms better.

Remove a couple of maps...

Un-nerf the shotgun for worldcup.

What thinkest you guys???

I need your feedback.

[Mirfster Profile]

Yeah without the teammate indicators and the uniforms looking so similar I killed several teammates (Sorry CT & Happy).

While it does eventually show the teammate's name, it takes about a second which is well after I have already fired (sorry just reflexes). Think I heard a few others mention that they would like to see at least the overhead teammate indicators or if possible just for the cross-hairs to change color. Not sure if they already do that though.

But still a great time. Makes it so much better now that my TeamSpeak is working again as well.

Thanks for all your hard work Rhino.

[|ax|Poison Profile]

The uniforms were close in color and i do like knowing where the rest of my team is but other than that it seems pretty well thought out.

Thanks again Rhino

(it was fun)

[|ax|Poison Profile]

Spawn,You are a team killing hack.

[Rhino]

I wont be around for most of the night on Thursday. I may be there early and then late for some hardcore PressureCookin'

CT or B-Rus or Spawn will hold down the house in my place.

I spent some time this week rebuilding the extreme mod portion of the server including restoring the wawa 1 vs 1 gametype. Feel free to pop in there and beat on each other. You can choose from any of the three bolt rifles (sorry no unscoped springfield...yet). The server is running a variety of maps with only bolts and semis.

I replaced a couple of maps...buffed out the shotgun...put the camo uniforms back in footlocker so we can reduce the teamkills. We should be ready to roll with Worldcup and the sniper map with artillery is ready to play too.

The maps are Bridge2, Woods, Chelm, Loed, North Africa Outpost, German Farm, Remagen, Destroyed Village, Outlaw Ravine, Marais, Marais Black Night, Toujane, Matamata, Rhine, Carentan, St Mere Eglise, Worldcup, Sniper Village, Breville, Montargis, Heat, Delta Mission, Bretteville, and Farmhouse

I added the maps Remagen and Rhine to the rotation. They should be about the right size for the PC game mode.

I'd like to try some of the maps using a squad based weapons loadout. One heavy MG, one light MG, one sniper and the rest of the team would be bolts or semis.

Of course we can fire it up early tomorrow if ya want. Cya there I hope.

Poison... how can you not bash Spawn?? According to his stats, he has 0 bash and had been smacked a couple of dozen times lolz

[SpawnAlot Profile]

Thanks Strider.

Figured somebody would point that out sooner or later.

I think I bashed myself twice tho, does that count?
