Re: [MOD] Group 6 | Cold War Polar
So can we organise a time to play on this server? Would love to get a game going...

Re: [MOD] Group 6 | Cold War Polar
there is a group on Steam called DEFCON generals. There are 39 players that are active that communicate with each other via chat on Steam to get games played. I would suggest you join that group on Steam if you would like to get more games played than normal.

Re: [MOD] Group 6 | Cold War Polar
The Polar Ice Mod is not Dedcon compatible. From my understanding its a 3 territory map only. Dedcon is a 6 player territory map. There for when you start the game Dedcon is thinking there are 3 other territory to place you when there is not.
Senator and I tried working on this problem with different commands restricting the only 3 territory such as,
But even after those commands it still misplaced people in territory that didn't exist causing players not being able to place units. So the end result this Mod server has been shut down. But I assure everyone there is definitely a follow up Mod server coming soon.(:

Re: [MOD] Group 6 | Coming Soon
Crap, that did not work?
Maybe you also have to add:
If it doesn't work then I have no idea what these TerritorySelection options are there for anyways or how to make a less then 6 player map work with dedcon.
Maybe you also have to add:
Code: Select all
Territory1 Random
Territory2 Random
Territory3 Random

Tried the random, dido... But already in the works for more Mod servers.

Polar mod also has a 6 player map - believe this is it http://www.ambrosiasw.com/assets/module ... ?addon=625

I tried those settings like 40 times; 1 player, 2 players, with mod, without mod, with Territory1 Random and without. Only thing I not tried was what happens if I select a territory (to many combinations and possible outcomes).
And it worked every single time!!!
Kinda makes me angry how you throw it away for the next best thing without sorting the problem first. Even more as the yingyang mod would need exactly the same kind of config.
It probably was just something silly like a spelling error or so which prevented it from working.

We are just at the trial stages of Dedicated Mod servers. This really has never been attempted by Group 6 or anyone of that matter, so this is new grounds we need to discover. All Mod servers will be locked until they are proven to be in working condition. This thread is simply here for help on my part for now.
Further more, Lord Haw Haw & I where testing last night as well & found the same discovery as you. Only problem I see is if a Noob comes doesn't realize he is suppose to pick territory and he gets misplaced way off the map. Ruining the hole game.

Re: Group 6 Dedicated MOD Servers
If you have a look at the images in ~coldwar\polar\earth folder, you can see that there are 6 territories. But only 3 of them have a landmass: NA, RU and Asia.
I am not into dedcon-configs but i believe that something like this:
<code>
Territory1 NA
Territory2 RU
Territory3 AS
</code>
could fix it.
Defcon probably expects 6 territories (images) to be there and I guess that the Ying-Yang mod also only uses 2 of 6 available territories, leaving the other ones empty/black 'for compatibility'.

You must have misunderstood me.
I said my 1st proposal works as expected, no need to manually select it. The reason it did not work for you must be something else in the config.
Rad Poisons proposal woks too, only drawback would be the predictability of what territory you get.
Oh, I see now. If Asia is in the mod, then Asia should not be excluded.
So I correct my proposal to:

It can't be. We have all other commands in other configs connected to all our server configs. Think of it as a web, all interconnected to eachother. Look at what is on the Cold War Polar Config:
Code: Select all
#Include authkey
#Include ConfigVersion-1.43-beta1
#Include central_config
#Include conf_admin
# put your configuration below this line
ServerKey NONEYABUSNES
ServerName GROUP 6 | Cold War Polar
#NET
ServerPort NONEYABUSNES
#GAME OPTIONS
ServerMods Cold War Polar;1.0;
Territory4 SA
Territory5 AF
Territory6 EU
OR
Code: Select all
#Include authkey
#Include ConfigVersion-1.43-beta1
#Include central_config
#Include conf_admin
# put your configuration below this line
ServerKey NONYABUSNES
ServerName GROUP 6 | 1v1 | Ying Yang
#NET
ServerPort NONYABUSNES
#GAME OPTIONS
ServerMods YingYang1v1;1;
MinTeams 2
MaxTeams 2
RandomTerritories 0
Say You MUST pick your own Territory.
In fact all of our configs are pretty bare but for game options unique to that server. So I firmly believe its just Dedcon saying no this doesn't make sense so I am not going to work. lol
Re: Group 6 Dedicated MOD Servers
Omg, you drive me crazy today!
It works in principle, so there MUST be an error in execution.
There it is! Please dont make me mark the difference of this and my original code snippet.
