PR Update

[[Team] Kilemal]

As I mentioned in another post already . . .

I've been taking a good look at what is wrong with Project Reality and the first problem I see is the scoring. It's just way out of proportion with the other mods we play and Battlefield 2 in general. I'm not saying the scoring is wrong, I'm just saying it's not right to rank the game along with the lower scoring (much lower scoring) mods everyone else plays. AIX, in my book is a fairly high scoring mod, yet it doesn't even come close to the scores being sent in by the PR game. Granted a round in PR takes 2 - 3 times longer to complete, but the scores recorded at the end of a round are on average 15 times greater than what the AIX game sends in. This is just too far out of whack with the other games to rank them all together, so if and when this game returns . . . . . it will probably not be ranked.

Yes, the scoring in PR is out of proportion to the other games. But, PR is also a lot harder to play and as you stated above, the rounds take 2 to 3 times longer than the other variants of BF2.

Perhaps dividing the final point score (not the kills) by 10 would bring it inline with the other games?

Also, the grametracker site maintains a total of the scores. Perhaps a different method of getting the scores to the ranking system would be to look up the player in gametracker and just add their stats from our server records there, (and divide by 10) when computing the total.

we're good with just playing without points.... those that want points can go play on the other mods.

[Kilo]

We don't need no stinkin points...lol Just need PR ;)

[Korg]

Agreed. You really don't need the points, we just need it up and running. Correct me if I'm wrong Kilemal, the REAL problem is BF2CC has problems with PR Mod?

That's what I said somewhere else no need for points just a good kick ass game.
With lots of friends that's all that is needed.

Not completely sure about that yet. PR has problems with BF2CC definitely, and possibly the stats software also. Removing the stats is not really a problem, removing the BF2CC will make the game static. Meaning the bot ai and team ratio will always be a set value, they cannot be changed even for the next round. The only way to change settings for the game will be for me to shut it down, modify the game settings files and start it back up again.

I always had that in the back of my mind... If scoring was recorded people would be snaggin points like crazy how would it all effect the scheme of things (other mods). Thanks for taking a more in-depth gander.

PR is running again but at a new ip address, and without the stats scripts and without BF2CC. I'll post something in the admin forum about using the rcon instead.
