AIX and it's issues

[tinybobdfa]

Something needs to be done about AIX and it's almost pain in the ass crashing issues.
Maybe remove the maps that crash from the server then at least we get to play more than a few maps!!!!
What do you think guys????
This is a real good MOD just a shame it crashes on a few maps.
Something NEEDS to be done as it is putting me off from playing this mega MOD!!!
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Okay, we was in a map last night, where if you get in the gunner seat of the attack chopter on carrier it will in fact crash the map, but Gil and I got in together at the base in the far end, and it didn't crash, I say removing or replacing the chopter on the carrier(s) would help from crashing the map.

But we try and mention when the map starts not to enter the gunner seat.

I can't remember the map right off, but it was one of these 2 Gulf of Oman or Daqing Dawn

I think you should download the extra maps and then just remove any maps that have a "chopter on the carrier(s)" maps and remove them so at least with having the extra maps there are still a lot to play.

FYI:

AIX 2.0b

The release of the BF2 1.5 patch caused a couple of things to break in AIX2's online conquest and co-op game modes.

Changes:

The deployable mortar has been disabled - any attempt to select it will result in the previous weapon being re-selected.

Under BF2 1.5 online, no ammunition magazine may contain more than 1023 rounds. The AH-1X, A-10, A-10b, AH-64, AH-64 Gunship, Rooivalk, Yak-38 and Blizzard all broke this rule by varying degrees, but now have a maximum of 1000 rounds in the offending magazines. A side-effect is that the ammo-bar for an affected magazine will only fill up to the level set by the new 1,000 round limit, and so may not look completely full.

Unfortunately, after this patch was released, the developers realized that the AH-64 Gunship had two cannon magazines which both exceeded 1023 rounds. The 2.0b patch addressed only one of these magazines.

I'll install the 2.0c patch, but the game will need to be down for an extended period.

[tinybobdfa]

Well to me it is well worth doing because right now the game is spoilt by this little flaw.
As I said before it's a shame as this is a real good MOD.
I can't stop playing it. :D:D:D:D:D:D

[tinybobdfa]

How long would the server need to be down for anyway just out of interest please.!!! :rolleyes:

[1-8th_Fury]

In the meantime, there's been fair success in voting these maps back up after a crash, or voting beyond them in the rotation.

Anywhere from an hour to permenantly. As with any software patch there's no telling what can go wrong.

In the meantime, simply staying out of the Apache Gunship should solve the problem.

One of the patch must work. I played on another server I think STFU, and it did not crash. The map in question I think is Dalian Plant.

The map in question I think is Dalian Plant.



Once again . . . . the issue here is not which maps are a problem, but which maps have the vehicle (AH-64 Gunship) which is the problem. I did some reading in the AIX forums this morning (something that anyone can do, by the way) and discovered that this issue was not properly addressed in the previous update. I'm just one guy trying to keep four games running all by myself. Any one of you could have done some research on the internet and found out the same thing I did this morning and come here to tell me that there was an update for the game that fixes this problem, but everyone is too busy complaining I guess to do anything constructive like that.

[[Team] Jenifearia]

kil you r doing a fine job don't stress. we still enjoy playing it.

[billybebad]

Yeah, I say no need to mess with the server and end up causing more problems, as Kil said, stay out of the gunner seats, if something happens they do crash, we've been voting for a map which only takes a sec or 2.

And most of us who have been playing these maps known enough to stay clear of the gunner seats.

[bigmick]

yeah gotta dig out those crashing bad maps till they fixed

[tinybobdfa]

I do apologize for my stupidness I understand how hard it must be for you to look after everything. Maybe just putting a bit of text into the start end of the game telling peps not to sit in that seat. The other night I was playing I was flying the AH and some twit jumped into the gunners seat. Even though that happened I did put up a text stating I was getting into the AH and that no one should sit in the gunners sit as it would crash the server and then all of a sudden 3 players tried to get into the 2nd seat. (DAMN NOOBS GET EVERYWHERE):mad::mad::mad:

[billybebad]

Maybe setting another map as default would be easier, easter island is ok, but can get boring after awhile.

I patched the AIX game this morning and it seems to be playing alright. I put all the maps except two back in the rotation to see how they work with this update. The current maplist is HERE. (http://team-nitro.com/index.php?pageid=aix)

According to the read me file in the latest patch, it corrected the second magazine capacity in the AH64 Gunship, and also the Blizzard and the Yak-38. So, not only would the Apache Gunship crash the game but the other two vehicles also, if a player (even a bot) was to get in the vehicle. For this reason I think we should try all the maps again because there's a pretty good chance this was the issue affecting all the "crashy" maps.

Those of you who play this mod should make note of the maps that crash and post any here that are crashing constantly and I'll remove them from the rotation.

[1-8th_Fury]

Thanks Kilemal :) Testing shall commence immediately.

[[Team] Kilemal]

Well . . . . the game has played through 11 of 21 maps without a crash, so I hope it's safe to say that this patch will be a major improvement.

:rolleyes:

Thanks for the time spent on AIX, I think we all will enjoy playing it again. Now its time to go and kill some bots.
Thanks again

[billybebad]

Good job indeed Steve, the 3 maps I've seen crashed has been played through with out one crash, I also didn't know about the vehicle's that crashed the maps, I always thought it was the attack chopters only.

But seems to be fine, again good job.

[[Team] Kilemal]

Twelve hours later, the server has completed two map cycles of 21 maps per cycle and has not crashed once. I'd say AIX's issues have been resolved ! Enjoy !

:D

[[Team] Jenifearia]

it was alot of fun

[tinybobdfa]

THANK YOU my good man indeed I was playing and not one crash with the copter in question and I was in the gunners seat!!!

Now is the time for killing the locals ;)

:D :D :D :D

[tinybobdfa]

Now it has been fixed I very much doubt you will see me anywhere else but on this MEGA MOD!!!!!!!!! :D:D

If I knew how to thank you kil I would probably thank you a thousand times over. :D:D
Your the king in my book now buddy. :D:D:D:D

[1-8th_Fury]

I noticed last night getting in gunner seat of carrier based attack chopper on Oman seemed to crash the server. Wonder if patch might need reapplied?

Big THANKS to all who make TEAM possible and a great place to play :)

Yea - trap mentioned that to me last night. I had so much trouble getting AIX to run this time that I removed all the modded files until I could get just the basic game running, but then I forgot to put the hotfix back in. I'll get done sometime today.

[bigmick]

Yeah i noticed that it crashed to thought it was me computer on the blink again lol, thx kill ur the man :)

Good deal. I have a whole list if issues I've noticed on the AIX since was put back up - but figured was patching issues so will hold off until it "should" be right :).

[[Team] Kilemal]

It should be right . . . .

I put the hot fix in this morning.

[Kilo]

AIX crashed and has only 3 maps and one of them is the "Dreaded" Falklands.
I really like this server. can someone reboot it?
