TWC Dogfight PvP

Working on a PVP server and coding for scoring returning to base. Got into some great battles today with Val_Tmn bringing a variety of 109 planes to DOWN the TWC_BlacKnight. Here is my youtube channel- pure edge of the seat. After landing just jump a few minutes ahead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmbAASj_HCE

Thanks Val for stopping by!

Hope to see a few more drop in!

that is what i am talking about!

Need some help implementing a scoring script...

1. First need a plane list for Allied and German.
int ScoreRed = 0;
int ScoreBlue = 0;

private string[] RedPlanesSet = new string[] // описание наборов самолётов на спаунточках разных стран
{ "Aircraft.SpitfireMkIIa",
"Aircraft.SpitfireMkI",
"Aircraft.SpitfireMkIa",
"Aircraft.HurricaneMkI_dH5-20",
"Aircraft.HurricaneMkI"
};

private string[] BluePlanesSet = new string[]
{ "Aircraft.Bf-110C-7",
"Aircraft.Bf-110C-4",
"Aircraft.Bf-109E-3B",
"Aircraft.G50",
"Aircraft.Bf-109E-3",
"Aircraft.Bf-109E-1"
};
2. Plane shot down 10 points- twin engine fighter 20 points
3. If you die you lose 5 points for your team Red or Blue.
4. If you parachute or crash land you just get the 10 points.
5. If you make it to base and land you get X2 the points.
6. If you complete more then 4 sorties you get 100 points.
7. If you complete more then 8 you get 200 points.

In the 1.07 sample file there is Red and Blue points for targets but nothing for planes...

Also a mission reload if the points are achieved. So that we can rotate between the 2 maps.

ANYHELP would greatly be appreciated...

Sorry, I don't understand PvP.

If this is a dogfight server, why include Blennie and Heinkels (ok, ok I had a lot of fun using the Blennie as fighter, but not everybody is as crazy as me).
Why no 109 E-4s (Blue will whine)
And why add the DH Hurri, I don't think anybody ever used it (I'd prefer a Blenheim ...)

DerDa that was a copied list from a classic script...

Yes, it is a Dogfight Server no bombers!

Looks fun, PvP is what I enjoy the most, DerDa PvP stands for Player versus Player.
Blacknight have you ever played the gun game mode? Would be nice to implement this in your TWC DogFight PvP Server.

I explain in short, basically only the slowest and "worst" aircrafts are available at the lowest amount of points, getting more points grants you better aircrafts, or the opposite : )
this will avoid pilots using the best top aircraft all the time which is boring because there won't be much diversity.

Maru,

Sounds like fun could put a Map in the rotation with older birds as well, but still looking for a unique scoring and plane play set up. Server is active with missions in the TAB Menue if you join with friends, but once you get over 6 pilots then the missions deactivate.

So RAF and LW can call in 4, 8, or 12 fighters and perfecting the fighter script with missions that load to improve the fighters and make them more human-like.

Thanks hope this catches on.

The Sample Multiplayer Mission has a module "ServerStats" and if you look in CServerStats-v1.0.0-Mission.cs at method OnActorDead() it might give you ideas.

Ok, Time to test the Server Numbers- Looking for a complete overload this Saturday Nov.26th at 2pm Eastern USA.
Penalty for leaving and death is set to 30sec for now with any suggestions on kick and ban script for leaving in flight????

Scoring is good for planes shot down still working on code for OnAircraftLanded for sortie complete Kills X4 and then OnAircraftCrashLanded Kills X2 & OnParachuteLanded Kills X2.

OnParachuteFailed -10pts

Also under on 4 consecutive sorties a bonus of 100 team points.

Bases will be extremely guarded.

Val wanted a closer Air spawn at 10000 and I will put the back one at 15000 with six airfields to spawn from on each side.

Code for scoring right now looks like this: Works

Anyone with the skills to make what I listed work would be great: OnAircraftLanded, OnAircraftCrashLanded, OnParachuteLanded etc...

Code:

Another Battle with VAL_Tmn before recording he tried to turn fight slow and those kills where not recorded. After recording Val did a great job in holding his alt and E and schooled me got a few great shots in but I would say we finished even...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr-obUIziNE

Really hoping we get great numbers on tomorrow when you die and bail should be ok but if you end up with a death penalty go back to a base till the thirty secs ticks down then come back in at airspwan...

Finishing Tobruk Dogfight Server for the rotation...

Event Today Nov 26th at 3 pm Eastern USA. Hope to get a large number on to test the server output. Just a Dogfight Mid Channel bases set at 10 and 15000 ft for airspawn, still working on scoring for sorties calc. Anyway been fun fighting those that want to just turn and burn.

OK, Map Rotation is in and if their are any other changes I need to make in plane set let me know. Should be smooth!

Also Map is set up for three teammates to come in call a group of four planes and get into a fight, once that hits four missions can not be loaded. The AI is a personal set each plane has a personal flight characteristics.

Last the rotation will be up constant now and I will add a group of 6 and then 12: so you three can get into a right bloody fight!

Anyway

I am going to let this run through the weekend and see how it goes.

Working on Victory for number of Kills and should we throw in Model and type plane count....

Last will be a stats page!!!! Could use some help setting this up lol!

Curious as to the max speed: under socket in the server.

We are sert to lan but the socket is forcing us back down to 10000...

udp maxChannels: 255 maxSpeed: 10000 bytes/sec
steam maxChannels: 255 maxSpeed: 10000 bytes/sec

Just curious why it is not LAN Setting-

BlacKnight

So, I created mission for those that log on and want an AI scrap. I have been working hard on the code to make sure they stay in the fight till the bitter end. Once 6 players enter the ARENA the Mission launcher gets locked.

Second- Looking if anyone has corrected Salmos auto airfield AA generation script:

I will drop it in today and work on it before the weekend. I need to get the airfields populated in Tobruk so that is why I pulled till this weekend. Hope to see more this weekend either dog fighting or in operation theater. Anyway, Oskar thanks for your support got everything working within the code right now, still tweaking the AI.

Looking for a diorama JUNKY for Airfield static objects! PLEASE contact me in private messages.

Oskar is there any way to get the plane count at the airfield on the map showing how many pilots are at the airbase. So, when people join, they see what airfield pilots are populating.


Not sure if it is possible.

I can't think of any way to do that.
