[Mini-mod Proposal] Airborne Mini-Mod - Page 4

WallyJas · 01-13-2008, 09:53 PM

Ok guys, I'll put something together this week and hopefully a small download to test next week. At this stage it will be a seperate mod, but if players like it, maybe we can incoporate something into PR so a seperate download is not required.

I'll also see if I can get it to work on my server so when you test there is an online presence.

Still keen to hear feedback so keep it coming.

then u would know what its like to actually have to fight like insurgents in iraq have to fight.
exp. shoot at brits....chopper spotted..... EVERYONE HIDE!!! (chopper goes to refuel)....shooting starts up again...

thats how it is....

as for the mod...i like the idea...but only as part of the offical mod...another download would defanantly cause issues.

Ok guys, I have gone with the new gamemode approach rather than a stand alone mini-mod. I have got it up and running and it works on my server as well. I just need to package it up. Can anyone advise on how I create a self installer that can 'insert' the new gamemode into the relevant PR folders without disturbing anything else in PR?

This is an awesome idea, a good change to just tanks vs tanks and apc's vs apc's.

WallyJas, you read my mind (or did I post something about this over at bigD forums?). Airborne would rock.

I cant wait to actually play this

Will you be implementing fastropes on the helos?

Honestly, i'd like to see a map with ain airborne insertion, similar to airport from earlier versions of PR. An airborne mod would be cool.

I think they could meet my needs with a single map, rather than an entire mod (though I wouldn't complain). I'd like to see a map the size of Fools road with maybe the 82nd or 101st Airborne being deployed in a corner of the map. They get no vehicles until the commander sets up assets and they have to secure several bridges or crossroads/towns as the airborne would be used for. I think it would be a good 0.8 map with the inclusion of the new US Army faction. My outfit would enjoy it a lot.

Monumentally bad idea, no subset mods of PR should be allowed, it divides the community up, takes the focus of the mods objectives and feel away from the team to a group of people who want to do something different.

Having some maps with an airborne theme, all fine, in the same way as armour heavy maps etc. They just need to be made and used

But it doesn't darkpowder, the people with the MM can play on regular servers and MM servers without loading a different mod and the others are left with fewer servers, so more people per server.

If they want air stuff they can download the MM and try it.
