m00f Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hello there! I'd suggest increasing the spawn times on caen2 a little bit. I don't know the statistics for the map, but I'm guessing the map is heavily in favor of the allied team. As I see it the main problem is that it's extremely hard to push first spawn or obj as it feels like allies are constantly respawning with almost no delay - wiping a defensive position doesn't feel like it contributes much to your team advancing. I love the map and I think it's great, but I feel like more often than not it comes down to a 20 minute stalemate on ETL1 whenever it is played. What do you guys think? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founders MrMuppet Posted June 7, 2021 Founders Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hi Moof, Currently: set g_useraxisrespawntime 12 set g_useralliedrespawntime 18 set g_userTimeLimit 20 What do you suggest?

_Ler Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hello, The main problem I see it's that it is impossible to push because of arty and nade spam (from both teams) so I would suggest to increase time between airstrikes and arty. For the spawntimes, I'd suggest 10-18 or 12-20 in first part, and once flag is secured change it back again to 12-18 or whatever you think it's okay. I also add here a mapscript file that fixes the sounds (flag captured, tank repaired etc). Basically the one who made caen2 changed the 'shortcuts' inside mapscript file (maps/caen2.script) but not the link to sounds in sound/scripts/caen2.sounds. It should work but I have no way to test it atm caen2.script Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founders MrMuppet Posted June 7, 2021 Founders Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hi, thank for your suggestions, there obviously is a need to adjust the spawn times, I have increased the spawn time on the allies to 20 seconds with immediate effect. Regarding the script, we already run a script for Caen2 with the additions below: Anti covertop rush -> obj door changed house roof fix, window jump block and better mg clipping mg clipping exploit fix by mortis the wise Mar 5 2006 merge Ragnar's pillar exploit clip brushes and trigger_hurt combo Mar 5 2006 EAGLE_CZ: the gate can be destroyed by satchel after first recreate. Do you know which lines require editing as per your script without searching the entire script? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ler Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Quote Do you know which lines require editing as per your script without searching the entire script? Yes, just find "caen2_" and replace by "caen_" and it will be solved. Example: wm_addteamvoiceannounce 0 "caen2_axis_city_capture" wm_addteamvoiceannounce 0 "caen2_axis_tank_steal" Replace by wm_addteamvoiceannounce 0 "caen_axis_city_capture" wm_addteamvoiceannounce 0 "caen_axis_tank_steal" There are 23 matches in the whole file.

uips Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Fighting 20mins over a flag feels too long and gets very boring for axis. Would it be possible to change time limit to 15min and create time bonuses for objectives (+3) - (+5) min starting tank, (+3) - (+5) reaching wall (If it is necessary). So if it is a nightmare for axis the map will end sooner: if its more balanced it will continue longer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venice comes to mind but also others where you can easily get stuck on the first part of the map. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmxj Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 We have some "time bonusses" allready activated on our campaign server to make the "objective" a bit more attractive. I like the idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I wouldn't change Venice to 30 minutes from the current 25. More often than not Allies get stuck after destroying the doors and 5mins extra won't make a difference in my opinion.

Yeh they are set to Axis 16 and Allies 12. I recall them being different before, but not sure. Anyone else knows what the spawn times should be for Venice? I thought Axis at least 20 seconds.

uips Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 i think it would be even better to use time remaining as variable when considering time bonus. For example u have 3min left and u start tank in caen, you get +5min time bonus for next objective (8min total time for next phase). Now if u have 12min left and start the tank, there is no time bonus because you still have 12min left for next objective. (12min total time for next phase). This would eliminate stacks of time when maps are rushed, since there is still possibility of getting stuck in last phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total : 25min If part 1 is to hard for allies because of bad teams the game will end sooner and go to the next map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current 21 is waay too long for a map that can be finished in 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uips Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Allied respawn time is 16secs right now. Was it not made higher to make it easier for axis to capture flag? Or is it changed back to 16 on purpose. First part of the map has very limited access over whole are and gets easily very boring and always is harder for axis. 20vs20 games map has a lot more to offer if flag is not the biggest milestone. I think most of the games Axis should be able to get the flag for game to be balanced and fun, not the other way around. (Imagine being stuck on flag capture at Special Delivery map). I would even consider 12min+5min+5min (+allied respawn at least 18sec). If it really is hell for axis i think its ok after 12mins to go for next map. Now about the gate part an idea or suggestion to mappers. Its often spam satchel and repair over and over situation. I think it would be good idea to give axis the access to the construction site as well in form of MG nest or just sandbags to aid axis + the gate cant be constructed back that fast, need to satchel up the axis construction before the gate can be rebuilt. It should make the axis part easier and have more involvement of engineers form axis part and give a objective for covert ops as allies.

Founders MiniMuppet Posted February 1, 2022 Founders Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 set g_useraxisrespawntime 12 set g_useralliedrespawntime 16 set g_userTimeLimit 15 thats what is in the map config don't think its been changed in a while unless it was when mapscript was added.
