[Pick Up Games (PUGs)]

This post is about how we can prevent or solve a team balance complain.

Please don't feel offended, but I don't know why it is so difficult to place some people i a different team, just because the most of the people got an opinion about this, and especially to avoid useless discussions, and create an "Organised" game-play that EVERYBODY likes. From the last 10 PUG's i played on the Saturday, the most where unbalanced or there was a discussion about balancing while or after. 

Maybe its better next time to choose 2 people that care about picking 2 equal teams instead of "i wanna play with my friend".
I think a good example is like @Quincy and i did last Sunday PUG, even if i play a lot, it is still difficult for me too to setup the teams equal. So we helped each other to pick the teams, what did turn out well.

In the end i think it don't matter i post a opinion about this subject, since this problem returns often, and people that hear other people complaining about how the teams are picked, just ignore the complains, even here on the forum if you just read back some posts, when they give a response about team picking, its not goes about the team picking anymore, but all about what we did wrong or or what people could do to have a better match.

Maybe its more wise to decide for next week that before the teams are picked that we decide together with 40 people who's not playing on the same team, it saves a lot of discussions while and after the game, and everybody got the feeling from the beginning that they have a chance.

For me its all about have some fun on the Saturday night, with 40 people that like to organize a game where all 40 players are happy with, i think this can be accomplished by letting people with this spirit picking the teams.

But, I could not setup the teams better then others do, but i think we can do it TOGETHER  !!

LETS ORGANIZE!!

Some still were at 64 and all background trees casted a shadow.. even the skeletal meshes casted a shadow (not needed).

I still had the error while rebuilding though. I'll look into it. 

@Ruud033 Good luck! in the beginning it tried to solve all the map errors, and also did find out that a lot of meshes got shadows. But about the landscape, where does the grey area come from? is that a normal behavior?, i did try to put the landscape into the "sky"-environment, but did not find where to change it.

@Luhrian Did you change the properties of all the object after you placed them?

[CNC - Forest]

@Ruud033 The light map resolution of the trees i did see was < 32.

Maybe this picture shows the problem, the landscape looks different if i compare them to other maps.

@Ukill, what was the end result of your lighting build?

I thought i already did tell you, but i was unable to build the lighting, my pc with 16GB RAM will crash after some minutes. When i did use the PC with 32GB it did not crash but the process hangs at 0%, and I did not find any solution to build the map successful.

[Howto set replicate current variable to new players that join]

Thanks @Agent, but i really don't know what to add there.

Because i really dont know what to change in my existing script i decided to start over again, and put my focus on the replication, whereby i build my script around it

So i started first to do just a simple replication.

1. class Rx_Mutator_CountDown_Controller extends Rx_Controller;
2.  
3. var repnotify int Count;
4.  
5. replication
6. {
7.     if (bNetDirty && (Role==ROLE_Authority))
8.         Count;
9. }
10.  
11. simulated event ReplicatedEvent(name VarName)
12. {  
13.     if (VarName == 'Count')
14.     {
15.         Count=(Count);
16.     }
17.     else
18.     {
19.         super.ReplicatedEvent(VarName);
20.     }
21. }
22.  
23. exec function DoCountDown()
24. {
25.     ServerCountIt();
26. }
27.  
28. reliable server function ServerCountIt()
29. {          
30.     local Rx_Mutator_CountDown_Controller C;
31.  
32.     foreach WorldInfo.AllControllers(class'Rx_Mutator_CountDown_Controller', C)
33.     {
34.         C.Count=(Count);
35.         C.CountIt();
36.     }
37. }
38.  
39. simulated function CountIt()
40. {
41.     local int TimeSec, TimeTenSec;
42.    
43.     Count--;
44.     TimeSec = Count % 10;
45.     TimeTenSec = (Count / 10);
46.     ClientMessage( " TimeTenSecTimeSec: " $ TimeTenSec $ TimeSec);
47.     SetTimer(2, false, 'ServerCountIt');
48. }
49.  
50. defaultproperties
51. {
52. Count=180.0
53. }

and extended this with my arrayvariable, now it is finally possible to replicate string/int-array

But i am still searching for the fault in my existing script :

Why will it not replicate to new users, and what exactly needs to be modified ?
I did find the issue that is responsible for the players that are not in game yet. after an other try of search and compare.

1. Foreach WorldInfo.AllControllers(class'Rx_Mutator_AdminTool_Controller', C)
2. {
3. ->    for (x = 0; x < ArrayLength ; x++)
4. ->    {
5. ->        C.RefArrayStatus[x]=(RefArrayStatus[x]);
6. ->    }
7.            
8.     C.ServerAdminToolStatusDo(sToggleName, sStatus);
9. }

But finally, it works !!!!

2. Extend the current votesystem (In my opinion this one got more limitations, but is more easy to implement)

[Howto set replicate current variable to new players that join]

I did try to add the replication block below:

replication
{
    if ( bNetDirty && Role == ROLE_Authority )
        RefArrayStatus,RefArrayAccessLevel;
}

More info about the replication block :

Spoiler

1. replication
2. {
3. //  To actually replicate a function call from the server to a client you have to use a replication statement like the following:
4.         reliable if ( Role == ROLE_Authority )
5.             FunctionName;
6. //  This will replicate function calls for FunctionName to the client this actor belongs to. If the actor is either owned by the
7. //  server's player or Owner is None the function will be executed on the server like a regular function.
8.    
9. //  To replicate a function call from a client to the server you have to use a replication statement like the following:
10.         reliable if ( Role < ROLE_Authority )
11.             FunctionName;
12. //  This replicated function calls for FunctionName to the server if the actor is owned by this client's player.
13. }
14. /*
15.     Things that may go wrong when replication functions:
16.  
17.     Client -> Server replication will not work if the actor is owned by the server player (on a listen server) or by a client other than the one trying to replicate something or when the actor has no owner.
18.    
19.     Server -> Client replication will be useless if the replicated function isn't a simulated function (unless the actor's Role on that client is ROLE_AutonomousProxy, which it usually isn't).
20. */

I did use "( bNetDirty && Role == ROLE_Authority )" in the script, because in other scripts this gave me the most accurate replication. 
In the end the problem is still here, it is impossible for me to replicate a static array (Only for players that join an existing game)
 

I also found some errors in the server-log :

1. RefArrayStatus:
2. [0249.49] ScriptWarning: Accessed array 'Rx_Mutator_AdminTool_Controller_0.RefArrayStatus' out of bounds (6/6)
3.     Rx_Mutator_AdminTool_Controller CNC-Walls_Flying.TheWorld:PersistentLevel.Rx_Mutator_AdminTool_Controller_0
       Function Rx_Mutator_AdminTool.Rx_Mutator_AdminTool_Controller:AdminToolNotifyServerAccessLevel:002D
4. 
   RefArrayAccessLevel:
   [0249.49] ScriptWarning: Accessed array 'Rx_Mutator_AdminTool_Controller_0.ServerRefArrayAccessLevel' out of bounds (6/6)
       Rx_Mutator_AdminTool_Controller CNC-Walls_Flying.TheWorld:PersistentLevel.Rx_Mutator_AdminTool_Controller_0
       Function Rx_Mutator_AdminTool.Rx_Mutator_AdminTool_Controller:AdminToolNotifyServerAccessLevel:004E
5.  

I do also saw the output of the "simulated event ReplicatedEvent(name VarName)", this means in my opinion that the replication at least runs/starts for the array variables.

1. T see the output below when I Toogle mode 4 to level 2:
2.  
3. Server current values Rx_Mutator_AdminTool_Controller.ServerRefArrayAccessLevel to ( [1] = 2, [2] = 2, [3] = 3, [4] = 4, [5] = 1)
4. Function ReplicatedEvent touched with VarName: ServerRefArrayAccessLevel
5. Server updated Rx_Mutator_AdminTool_Controller.ServerRefArrayAccessLevel to ( [1] = 2, [2] = 2, [3] = 3, [4] = 2, [5] = 1)

I think i got a dirty solution to get the replication working, because it is possible for me to replicate "normal" variables.
I am thinking about that i could create some "normal" variables that will do the replication, whereby after the replication i push those value's from the normal variables to the "array variables", as far as i can see now this will get my script working but gives me a couple of disadvantages : my script will grow in size, and a lot of variables will have duplicated value's.

I will try to get it to work like described above, but i am still searching for that "better way", and have no idea what to think about or what i can do to solve the "out of bounds (6/6)" error

[Howto set replicate current variable to new players that join]

 

The script below is working as expected, all variables get replicated to player in game on change, except that the default variables get replicated to users that join the game, instead of the current ones.

I think that i need to create a function that is executed on the clients from new players, so it will get the variables from the server, but have no idea how to do it.

Does anybody have an idea how to complete this replication ?

[Howto add one extra item to the vote menu]

On this moment i did find out 2 solutions :

1. Just duplicate the votesystem, make it unique and disable old system.
2. Extend the current votesystem (In my opinion this one got more limitations, but is more easy to implement)

 

[Howto add one extra item to the vote menu]

Can anybody tell me why this does not work online

Offline it added an extra option to the VoteMenu. (Compiled file :  Rx_Mutator_VoteMenu.u )



How do i get it to run on my server ?

[What a server with 250 bots looks like.]

For those that are into drinking games, take a shot every time a bot suicides.

Danny look what you've done.

I didnt know this server was able to run that much bots. 

Now you did got the opportunity @voltex to work on your K\D. 

[Make The Game More Tactical Please]

The benefit of an 40+ player server is that more players play this game, instead of going to an other activity. 
I think this is one of the most important reasons to raise the current hardcap limit. I have not seen this many players as last weekend.

Now, there are more than 80 people online on the same time. 
I am totally not satisfied with this amount, because I will never be, when there is some higher goal that is capable of being achieved =).

I think the max player can be a tool to gain more people on the servers, since I have seen more Americans join the server because there a slot free in the evening compared to just being stuck at 40 players and people not bothering to wait for a slot. 

For myself the performance of the game decrease a little bit, and some maps were definately not designed to handle that many but I accept that is a price I have to pay to help the community to build back up.

I have uploaded a good number of mutators to help promote different play styles and gameplay methods, and they are available to everyone, this included breaking the player cap to try playing with large bot count servers.
I think people should be allowed to make the servers whatever size they feel their server can handle since not everyone has a server that can handle even 32 players.

I think the acceptable limit is somewhere around 64 (previous hard cap), but even then I don't advise to just run a 64 player server, since not every server can run that many, but... there are servers that can handle it.

[Rx_Mutator_GimmeSoldier]

Because this mutator is missing as only one in this list, i added it manually.
