Training Mode v0.9

[R-MOD]BabylonCome · 02-08-2010, 06:55 AM

I was just wondering if it was possible for anybody to come up for a training version of some of the maps similar to the extra addon that was available for 0.75?

While this new version is awesome it is missing some dedicated training maps which we used in our clan to get people upto date with vehicles/choppers/planes etc....

The most used we had was Kashen Training as it contained all the air vehicles and most of the land vehicles plus a very nice bombing range to practice laser targeting, all with an instant respawn and no restrictions on kit selections.....

Are there any budding map makers out there that can do this since I asked the Dev's a while back and got the usual 'tuff titty' answer.

Looks like the end of training maps then......

This is gonna cause some **** on live servers, you can't exactly say don't learn to fly on a live server anymore.....

Why did you remove this version, it was awesome for getting people up to speed and allowing you to try things out without people shouting at you for being a ****

Please please please - bring back training mode.......

I'm with you, how are new players going to learn how to fly? Local game?

[R-MOD]BabylonCome · 02-08-2010, 11:55 AM

this was the answer I was given when I asked this question a month or so ago when I heard that training mode is to be removed... but what about just you on your own with no AI - a good way to try things out without getting shot at all the time....

Can a local server be configed to allow instant spawn, any kit selection and how easy is it to mod maps to place all vehicles on them for training use only?

For example, if I want to teach someone how to use an engineers kit, I don't need 8 players on the server just to select the kit.

The training mode was a fantastic tool for our PR Academy.

I'm not sure about modifying the spawn times and such, but I do know when I create a local game to mess about or to try out fob locations I can request the engineers kit and any other kit with only myself in the squad.

There maybe no training servers, but there are a lot of Co-op servers, try learning to fly on those perhaps? (I know they're a bit slower, but its a step up from bf2)

Coops great but lacks certain important things needed. A new training minimod same as the 0.7 one would be very good.

I've just about loaded every version of every map to see what spawns in at the start etc and from what I can see there is now only 2 maps which feature the main attack birds (cobra apache etc) and they don't spawn for 20 mins..... So when teaching someone to fly or gun these, if it crashes for whatever reason, you will have to wait another 20mins

Now that sucks.....

In reality you train and drill your troops so that it becomes 2nd nature and instinct and we use this method in our clan for certain specialist kits to get people good at what they do..... this has just screwed everything up for the whole community...... I guess the dev's just didn't think this one through with a point of view of new or keen to learn players....

Something will have to be done about this or it's going to be painful to get people skilled at certain roles.

Using the coop mode is going to be a pain for our clan as our servers don't have it installed, so a local server from someones PC will have to be used and this causes loads of issues with lag and stuff... Also, from what I have seen of this mode, the maps are laid out completely different and have different vehicles... e.g. On Muttrah, you can't fly over the mountains - not much good for trying to learn how to hover behind them ready for an attack run...

Babylon has a good point, here traning modes did come in very handy, Academy Training like we have in Rusty In Places, Now you have to wait 20 mins for us to train someone in a attack chopper and evan then if they crash it another 20 mins, Tbh its a load of croc, We had a load of people learning to fly on our server wasting assets..

I really think we should bring the traning mode inot the Game that we love.
