Server General Discussions

FURY ROAD: Server General Discussions Thread...

_________________________________________

While there is still no daylight to be seen at the end of the DayZ development tunnel...

I'm going to dabble in a clan Arma3 Wasteland Server...

UNDER DEVELOPMENT stage at the moment, stay tuned for news...

Excellent Rev. Looking foward to some pew pew!! Also nice to see the FURY ROAD name back in use. Very fitting!!

I'm excited!

Server running well Rev. Good fps and no noticeable lag. Wandering the land with my camo Fedora, Quad bike & Esky on the back! Happy times

Whats in the esky?

Body parts

Ahh, so snacks then.

This is starting to sound a bit like rust. At least skorzney had his pants on in arma3

The server is running well in its first couple days. The only adjustment I have made so far is to add a custom "Wez" load up/ splash pic otherwise it is vanilla Wasteland Stratis v0.9h (the latest version available).

Had as many as 13 players on at once so far?. I don't think we are competing too much against other Vanilla type - Stratis Wasteland servers out there which might help and I also think the 32 player max is a good size while we run a Stratis map. Hopefully we will continue to build up a regular player base. Please support the server in your attendance when you can.

Stats are now being tracked by gametracker as per our main page server banner, or you can keep an eye on player stats here: http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/103.231.88.100:2642/ the 'score' list is the amounts of npc-AI and (enemy)player kills tally.

The in game Admin tools are really well done and will be very useful for when server admins put on their admin 'hats' and hunt hackers etc...

On a side note I have trialled Zeus (Game Master) run missions on Steely's training server and it works well, so may run another training/Zeus event on there soon?

had a bit of a run on it, the first night you got it running I believe
congrats and it seemed to run fine, looking forward to your above statement.

FURY ROAD server full at time of this post Weekend but still good to see and putting the mfp name out there!

For the =mfp= clan troops unaware as a default join the BLUFOR (Blue Team) as a standard, makes it easier being consistently being locked into the same team grouping...

*Edited 28/10/14, currently testing us adapting the Independents (Green Team) as our default selection for =mfp= members on FURY ROAD

I'm now locked to Blufor.

I'm happy either way team wise. But wouldn't it be better to be independent. If we are BLUFOR. All other BLUFOR members inc. non mfp, can see our locations. Won't this give any bashes/stash locations away?

They cant see your stash or base locations, only where you are on the map, so yeah if they see you in a weird location frequently they might go check out the area, something to keep in mind.
Like the FOR/team option myself as it gives better opportunity to mingle and team up/ work with with non-mfp. Where as the independent's is often a free for all and pretty much we would only ever work with mfp. Happy to go with independant's if that's the majority preference though.

Not played a lot of independants, can't you see other independants name icons appear if they are close? means they can see you? etc...

I think independant only see each other if invited to groups. Will check tonight

Working tonight so yeah check it pls. If that is the case that independants can ONLY see each other when grouped Anubis then maybe Independents is the way to go, prol be more enemies that way too I guess

Rev, Lone Wolf seems to be stuck only able to join Blue?

Is this a server setting or is he an admin so tied to Blue..... If none of the above, is there an option to delete his history from the server and allow him to join independent?

I might be able to fix that when on? as I've noticed an option on the admin player review screen that says allow 'team change', not tested it yet though, Wolf will also have the same powers I have (in game) once I train him up in the next day or so and as long as that admin feature is actually working?

I've also had issues of it locking me to BLUFOR but not tested the above team change feature on myself yet either.

Worst case scenario I can do a server records wipe to reset this, however this will effect all players... Although Wastelands being what it is, this will not be a major drama.

Ok i have confirmed that as an independent no one can see you unlessyou join a group

cool.

Also jumped on quickly and tested the admin allow team change tool on myself and was able to return to the lobby then join the Independents, so should be able to fix Wolf's or anybody else's problems changing teams.

We may need a list. Apparently Skorzney is locked also. Although with his spectacular team kill of Lone Wolf last night maybe we are safer on the enemy team.

Lol

Yeah I believe Independent group is the way to go tbh. Then we don't have to worry about non-mfp members. Also makes it easier to face opposing groups if they have a method of pre-grouping.

maybe I should go dump my $30k and weapons in one of Anubis' caches then re-roll independant

yup do it

Finally sorted out an RCon tool with the server, so can now better track players GUID's that log onto the server and review chat history etc... another tool in the hacker and troll hunting kit.
This is also a tool I can leave running and it collects various data that I can review later.

Haha, thats cool.

Rename the server "Truman show"

The server has been busy lately, (at the time of this post) was in the top dozen Aussie Arma 3 servers on gametracker ,might get into the top ten at this rate? and the server is only around three weeks old... guess it shows the demand for default Wasteland servers... Looks like we are number two in Oz for a Stratis map server: http://www.gametracker.com/search/arma3/AU/?=GO

*the number 1 Aussie server is a Wasteland Stratis!

Looks like version 1.0b Wasteland files have been released, will update the server in the next day or so..

281
A3Wasteland
282

283
* At the start of the game, spread out and find supplies before worrying about where to establish a meeting place or a base, supplies are important and very valuable.
284

285
* When picking a base location, it is best advised to pick a place that is out of the way and not so obvious such as airports, cities, map-bound bases, etc. remember, players randomly spawn in and around towns and could even spawn inside your base should you set it up in a town.
286

287
* If you spawn in an area with no vehicles or supplies in the immediate area, DO NOT just click respawn from the pause menu, chances are if you search an area of a few hundred meters, you will find something.
288

289
* Always be on the lookout for nightvision. they are located in the ammo crates, and there are pairs scattered throughout vehicles. You can also purchase them from the gunstores. Nighttime without them SUCKS, and if you have them, you can conduct stealth raids on enemy bases under the cover of complete darkness.
290

291
* When you set up a base, never leave your supplies unguarded, one guard will suffice, but it is recommended you have at least 2, maybe 3 guards at base at all times.
292

293
* There are very aggressive AI characters that spawn with most missions and will protect the mission objectives with deadly force, be aware of them.

301
Wasteland is a team versus team versus team sandbox survival experience. The objective of this mission is to rally your faction, scavenge supplies, weapons, and vehicles, and destroy the other factions. It is survival at its best! Keep in mind this is a work in progress, please direct your reports to http://forums.a3wasteland.com/

FAQ:
304

305
Q. What am I supposed to do here?
306
A. See the above description
307

308
Q. Where can I get a gun?
309
A. Weapons are found in one of three places, first in ammo crates that come as rewards from missions, inside and outside buildings, and second, in the gear section of the vehicles, which also randomly spawn around the map. The last place to find a gun would be at the gunshops located throughout the map. You can also find them on dead players whose bodies have not yet been looted.
310

311
Q. What are the blue circles on the map?
312
A. The circles represent town limits. If friendly soldiers are in a town, you can spawn there from the re-spawn menu; however if there is an enemy presence, you will not be able to spawn there.
313

314
Q. Why is it so dark, I cant see.
315
A. The server has a day/night cycle just like in the real world, and as such, night time is a factor in your survival. It is recommended that you find sources of light or use your Nightvision Goggles as the darkness sets in.
316

317
Q. Is it ok for me to shoot my team mates?
318
A. If you are member of BLUFOR or OPFOR teams, then you are NOT allowed to shoot or steal items and vehicles from other players. If you play as Independent, you are free to engage anyone as well as team up with anyone you want.
319

320
Q. Whats with the canisters, baskets and big bags?
321
A. This game has a food and water system that you must stay on top of if you hope to survive. You can collect food and water from food sacks and wells, or baskets and plastic canisters dropped by dead players. Food and water will also randomly spawn around the map.
322

323
Q. I saw someone breaking a rule, what do I do?
324
A. Simply go into global chat and get the attention of one of the admins or visit our forums, and make a report if the offense is serious.

This one is good.

HALO insertion on spawn beacons

Wacked in the v10.b update after nightshift and tested, server loaded all good, stashes all good, player setups unchanged etc..., also noticed a vehicle-store bought truck I had was auto saved and in its spot after a couple restarts. Gave the first player on (afgm cambo) a new hot pink fuel truck to celebrate the update

Off to sleep soon, gnite..

Haha. More Donks colour
