MilitaryRP Update [06/09/2020]

[Nutter 15,191]

NOTE: THIS UPDATE IS CURRENTLY UNDERWORKS AND THIS THREAD MAY OR MAY NOT GET UPDATED OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

 

@AwesomeAidan thank you so much for your service to our server, I understand everybody wasn't always thankful for your work because of its controversial nature, but I had a GREAT time working with you and talking to you when I was more active on Teamspeak, and wish you the best of luck in the future. Hope to see you back when school gets out.

 

Map Change

The vote is currently still on-going, however, it does appear as though Taiga V3 will be our next destination with 28/36 votes currently. 100 being the map switch.

 

 

Third Person

I have mostly re-written our servers' third person addon as I am happy to announce I'm FINALLY experienced enough with lua coding in order to do so. Third Person will run a check on the client when activated to see the state of the server, and if war is active, it will deny access to any view modifications on the client.

NOTE: this is an EXPERIMENTAL PATCH and may not work 100% as our war system has many different variables, however, I will patch any as soon as I can.

 

 

Quiz Revision

Question #9 has been removed

"At what rank are you allowed to call a raid on the enemy's base?"

this quiz isn't beneficial to have an answer to as typically a new player wouldn't even try to "announce a raid" but would rather learn about it during gameplay

 

Question #10 has been removed

"Are you allowed to leave your respective country's base?"

Players typically would not know the way out of a base and will instead look for peers to play with (in my experience) unless they're minges. Better to learn over the course of gameplay.

This is a great thing to see. Too many times our new players get domed on because people are 3rd personing the hell out of them and cant stand a chance.

Third Person

Told yah

Hoping all of these changes will allow for more pure combat, and put newer players at a lesser disadvantage compared to the more experienced player. I really appreciate the punctuality at which you put these updates out once the suggestions pick up steam so thank you.

 

Brb gonna tell people to vote (in general, not for a particular map) so we can hit 100 total votes ASAP.

Yeah, that is the primary reason for the removal. Third person has a learning curve to it, specifically on how to exploit it to your advantage, and gameplay becomes far less competitive. We all love seeing our playermodel, so lets keep that for peacetime.

You are the reason behind me pushing this update buddy, I appreciate it (the third person modification)

ya know i dedicat a shit ton of time to mil rp and seeing it slowly go down in players fucking hurts to see, i really hope with this map change we can get the player count back to at least 80 to 100 like on echo

If I recall, Echo was up around Christmas time which typically will have a very high playercount. 50-60 or even 30-40 is normal for this time of the year brother, so keep your head up!

Ok well thats reassuring to know hopefully the map change will being in a shit ton of new players 

Most times when we switch maps we get a pretty good player pop spike which is always nice. But since were going back to prolly the best map on gg? probably gonna pop off when it hits man so dont worry

[Witchings 70]

I'm excited to see Taiga make a return, I know for a lot of people it will atleast draw them back for a day or two...even though I'm a sucker for Charikar, I think Taiga would freshen the gameplay more for now. Can't wait Garnet!

it does appear you're able to switch onto it, is it the insert menu that refuses to pop up man? I can do further testing when i'm done setting up taiga v3

It appears no menu pops up at all, yeah. Only just displays the inside of your model with no further prompt.

[Ozzy 1,992]

@Garnet So I’m able to open the F6 Menu during peacetime just fine. However adjusting the sliders does nothing. The view is scuffed if you have your keys or a gun on safety but it’s doable with a non-pistol gun out.

Great, that gives me a better idea of what would inevitably have to be fixed thank you.

PS

not sure why others are mentioning that their menu doesn't open up

The bind randomly swaps from F6 and Insert (I've seen both, F6 on my desktop, Insert on a laptop), so the issue could potentially be a misunderstanding of what the bind actually is.

Are there any clientside errors when using thirdperson at any point? Any errors when changing values? Asking just in case but I would have expected you to have already shared them if there were some.

Didnt really check console for anything. Give me 5 and I’ll give it another test and let y’all know.

[Nutter 15,191]

Taiga V3 going live in literally 10 minutes (11:30AM EST)

 

EDIT: I also managed to fix third person to work outside of war, but not inside of war.
