Gauntlet V2

[__Yossarian0815[jby]]

I´ve made some progress with my Gauntlet scenario. get it here:

http://yossarian0815.yo.funpic.de/GauntletV2.rar

the rar contains:

gauntletV2.scenario,

a new homemade heightmap gauntlet.raw

and a texture made with the help of an irfan view addon.

I´ll run it on my server starting tomorrow.

Changes to V1

-)a new heightmap and base texture

-)colonial defence is now 8 paladin 76mm, 4 apollo 120mm, 4 rifle squads

-) slightly modified deployment zones

In Single player I would recommend playing the defence, since the bots will just cluster arounf the objective if they defend.

1 question: Do I have to have the Gauntlet scenario downloaded on my computer in order to play it online?

[__Yossarian0815[jby]]

yes

[152mmDumbRocket]

Thanks. And how's the Hide and Seek scenario files work coming along? (forgot to mention in e-mail)

Hey jby, what am I doing wrong? If I remember correctly I place all the contents of the gauntlet folder in the data folder. I did this but the scenario is not showing up in the list. Is there something I'm forgetting?

[__Yossarian0815[jby]]

maybe I forgot something, I´ll check.

[__Yossarian0815[jby]]

I forgot to mention, you have to have the scenario bloody iwo installed.

[__Yossarian0815[jby]]

Crap

I have the same problem in my linux install WITH bloody iwo installed.

Does Gauntlet V2 work for anybody using windows XP?

[__Yossarian0815[jby]]

OK, while I cannot see the scenario in standalone, I can join my server that is running it.

Iĺl see if I can find out whats wrong with the name not showing up tomorrow.

Although I don't have Bloody Iwo installed, I was able to join your gauntlet server. So I'm good for Sunday if we decide to play the new scenario. Much to my surprise I never actually downloaded the Bloody Iwo map before.

[__Yossarian0815[jby]]

ah, then the textures Iwo uses are original game.

can everybody else who might be joining us on Sunday join the Gauntlettestserever (English really neeeds composite nouns )?

Composite nouns make for some awfully long words to spell! With the push to dumb down the English language into something a 10 year old can type on MSN or use for texting, I just don't see the adoption of longer words any time soon.

I suggest we start on Delta Pavonis this afternoon, in case there are potential players who haven't been following this thread. At some point we'll switch over to the Gauntlettestserever and try out the new scenario jby has made. Sound good?

[152mmDumbRocket]

Sounds nice, Jung. I haven't gotten around to extracting and dumping in data the scenarios jby graciously donated, but given Jung's experience with the Gauntlettestserver, I'll see if I can join the server too.

[__Yossarian0815[jby]]

goody

[__Yossarian0815[jby]]

well it seams that my server bandwidth is not enough. started to chug as soon as a second player joined. too bad.

[__Yossarian0815[jby]]

I solved the invisible scenario problem

i left an emtpy line in the middle of the xml code. it appears that some Dropteam versions don´t like that.

get the repaired version here:

http://yossarian0815.yo.funpic.de/gauntletv2.rar

pls report if you can play in standalone now, thx!

PS: this version might not let you join the gauntlet server because of the code difference, but given the connectivity issues that is academic anyway.

[152mmDumbRocket]

Still no luck. I just can't get it done. I fear I have a modding disability that will forever get rid of all respect for me. Still, I'll try again, even though my last failed attempt was with WinRAR.

[__Yossarian0815[jby]]

1) check if all three files are in dropteam/data

[152mmDumbRocket]

They are. Are you sure those 3 files are all I need?

[__Yossarian0815[jby]]

Hmm, OK do you have the following files (this is a list of all the files the scenario uses)?

I'll get back to you eventually on the files I have, jby. You see, I've finished a 9-day weekend on Memorial Day (that was Monday) after completing a semester of online college courses, and I'm still getting used to my routine now that I'm back working on my next semester.
