For everybody: Please feel free to post suggestions for serverside modding.

    Battle of Foy
    What is the problem with flag 2 on Battle of Foy?
    Neither Allieds nor Germans can take it once it was greyed.

    Another thing: is it somehow possible to add smoke grenades to the Nahverteidigungswaffe on German late war tanks so that one can switch between HE and Smoke?
    That would be an easy but realistic feature.

    Desert Rose
    Is it possible to fix the bug where you as an axis player spawn in allied main?

    Plus, any way to increase the ticket ratio only for this map so it won't end after 10-15 mins.? (same for Battle of Edsons Ridge)

    I actually made a fix back in October 2017, but then succesfully forgot about it, uploaded it now. As for tickets, I increased them by 150% (both on Desert Rose and Edson's Ridge), does that sound fine?

    Also:

    Crete:
  • Restored tickets to default FH0.7 values (25% more than in FHSW)
  • Changed flag values from to 40 to 25 (default in FH), so now Germans will have to capture only 2 flags instead of 3 to stop the bleed

    This is impossible to implement via SSM, the only closest thing would be to replace the Nahverteidigungswaffe HE projectile with smoke grenade, but then it will require modification for each map.

    Perfect! - I was going to suggest to increase them by 150% smile

    "...the only closest thing would be to replace the Nahverteidigungswaffe HE projectile with smoke grenade, but then it will require modification for each map."

    No, that would be bad. HE and Smoke should be both available. If that's not possible, let's leave it like it is.

    ??? Could you explain that a with a bit more detail so somebody can understand this? Why can nobody cap the flag ? What should the ssmer do exactly ?

    Battle at River Don

    I have never seen allies win this. So here are a couple of suggestions:

    - the respawn of Flak 88 guns should be increased by at least 100 seconds
    - captured T 34 axis spawns should also be increased by 30 seconds at least

    Spurning Fate 1945

    Allies have at least 2 Gaz jeeps spawning at the main.

    - axis Kübelwagen spawner at the main should spawn twice

    A Day of Zitadelle

    Is it possible to bound the Tiger or Ferdiand spawners to some of the Russian flags in the south as counterspawners? That way allies wont have to fear the constant respawn of these baddies if they are already trapped inside the main. For example if axis capture the hut flag, the Ferdi stops spawning.

    Desert Rose

    The whole naval aspect of this map is almost completely redundat since there are no flags or shore lines to attack / hold

    - remove all naval vessels of all teams except the British Ark Royal carrier + the Panjandrum counterspawner
    - maybe slightly reduce the respawn time of the carrier by 30 seconds since there is no DD anymore to defend it from enemy air strikes

    Kota Bharu

    Is it possible to decrease ammunition amount of weapons via ssm within the ObjectSpawnTemplates.con ? That's at least how I always did it in my mapping projects.

    - decrease the amount of Type 96 LMG catridges so that axis only spawn with 3 clips in their inventory
    - decrease No4 clips so that allied riflemen spawn with only 3 clips

    That way excessive camping of soldiers is a bit more limited.
    Maybe also:

    - change Type 29 revolver to nambu 14 pistol on Japanese Officer kit (modified kit file inside map data) That way this class is more competitive in close quarters

    Hi guys. My question is about japanese battleship Kii (super yamato). That ship was only in Monster des Stalhes map in last version 0.552. Question is can we get it back to FHSW 0.61 in some naval map like maybe in leyte gulf day 2 or something? It was one of those super rare weapons in this mod and I got very sad when it got removed when update came.

    Here is link if you want to see picture: http://fhsw.wikia.com/wiki/IJN_Kii


    Hates too quick judgement.

    Don't you forget the other carrier and the LCT which can do a landing anywhere on the shoreline and spawn tanks (I think that there was a Churchill or a Matilda II)? Vessels can also attack units on land and in the air. I disagree about removing any vessels. If you think that the naval aspect of the map is relatively unimportant, why not make it more important, rather than completely unimportant? Why not, for example, increase or improve the landing ship(s) and perhaps spawn them faster or closer to the east side of the mountain where the tanks can flank? Or add a ship with better AA (such as Lance) or one which is harder to kill by the Stuka? Or spawn a Mark V AA on a LCT? The extra allied naval strength could be balanced with more or faster spawning axis vessels.

    The suggestions about the other maps seem OK to me.

    @Xenanab: I agree with the suggested changes, for the following maps I want to add:

    Battle at the River Don:
    -also increase the respawn time of German halftruck with PAK 40 by 30 seconds

    Desert Rose
    I also think that the Naval aspect of the map is redundant because the sea area is very small and there is not much space to maneuver.
    I agree to remove most naval vessels and the carrier should be immobile.

    Don't remove the naval vessels man it's a refreshing map, where you can play both things naval or land, and I know the naval battle doesn't really contribute to the objective of the map. But it's great for players who like naval like my self and that the option is there you can choose not to participate in the land battle.
    here is my idea.
    how about moving one of the flags into the ocean it will give it a Midway idea and  feel, actually making naval a important part of the map.

    currently on the map battle of foy allies can neutralise flag 2 but they can't capture it also the Germans can't capture the flag back again,   this basically brakes the map.

    As far as I remember that battle of foy has a very quick flag cap time on flag 2 but has a bigger flag zone for defending but causes issues with pre capping flag 3.

    Even though I find that it's easy to pre-cap flag 4 cause the cap times are so quick. So maybe some German jeeps. Atleast when allies cap flag 4. Have 1-2 German jeeps spawn at flag 5

  • Ferdinand spawn is now attached to the hut flag, so once Germans cap it, it won't respawn anymore.

    There was an old SSM which eYe made back in 2015, but it seems to be gone now, probably along with a version update. There is a bug which is most noticeable on Bastogne-1944 but it affects all maps with a certain object, and eYe fixed it for all maps by creating a SSM for standardmesh.rfa:

    Quote starking018 ()
    There are the uprooted, overturned tree objects which are bugged and cause problems on other maps too. When you bump into them with a vehicle it tends to explode way too easily. It happens too often.


    Quote Endless_Nameless ()
    I've noticed this, too. This can't be fixed map-side though, the collision meshes in standardmesh.rfa have to be replaced. I'll check if this is possible as a ssm.


    Quote Endless_Nameless ()
    Should be fixed now, for all maps not just Bastogne.


    Original discussion: http://fhsw-europ.ucoz.de/forum/35-702-11110-16-1447362644

    Could you please restore this SSM? Maybe it's in the form of just an extra file like "standardmesh_002.rfa" that you can add directly to the current version?

    Edit: also perhaps the FHSW developers would be interested to add this fix in the next version of FHSW, so it would be nice if the file is open source, or at least shared with them.

    Bug report:

    On Monday we played Arctic_Convoy-1942_mod and MAJORMASTERBATES got one Liberty ship to the other end of the map, spent about a minute inside the circle and nothing happened. Since we didn't know why the round hadn't ended yet with allied victory I suggested him to go forward. He did and still no allied victory. The ship exploded and the round ended immediately with axis victory (I guess axis team wasted their time sinking all the empty ships before that). There's something wrong with the victory conditions. The way I see it the allies should need to just sail anywhere into the marked area (circle or whatever) without having to stop or do anything special and the round should end immediately with allied victory. I think that the map should be modified to fix this. Perhaps it can be done server-side?

    Also, about @Endless_Nameless's old bugfix SSM that I mentioned just above, I really think that it's important!

    The radius is pretty small, you have to be very close to the center of the circle. Did you do that?

    I've found out what I did back then, will try to do it on weekend.

    "Very close" is relative. I remember looking at the ship icon and the circle and dismissing the possibility that it's not close enough to the center. So I'd say that they were very close, but that may not have been close enough according to the map code. I'm now convinced that the area in question is unreasonably small. I would have guessed that it at least covers the entire circle. Better yet, I think that it should cover an even wider area, perhaps all the way from the north to the south edge of the map. The reasons for that:

    Realistically convoys did not need to go to a certain point to be considered relatively safe - they only needed to reach a wide area that was well covered by short range ground based aircraft and coast guard vessels, or to rendezvous with escorts.
    You cannot expect the Liberty ships to maneuver to a certain super small area (effectively a point) at the edge of the map while trying to evade torpedoes and bombers, and without even any good marker for where exactly to go.
    With just one point there can be many potential problems, such as submarines ramming the ship with just enough force to push it off course, or blocking the way to the point to slow down arriving ships; or players aiming torpedoes by minimap at the known point and launching from a great distance to hit the Liberty ships which may be spending a lot of time in a small area, trying to maneuver, etc.

    Good suggestion. It's tricky in BF1942 because you can only work with spheres and not a box shaped objective but I have an idea. Not sure if this can be done via ssm though.

    Iirc there was a technical issue, that's why I made the radius so small but I can't remember it anymore.

    Edit: I got it working: Liberty ships just have to reach the east of the map anywhere and Allies win.

    Tree issue: I've send the files for the tree fix to bubu because he has to restart the server to be able to overwrite the existing files.

    Here's what causes the issue: The collision mesh of the tree called finnstump3 (picture: https://i.imgur.com/SPJNaIVg.jpg) has value "1" which means it has the same properties as water. That's why vehicles take a lot of damage even when you only touch the tree. I've appended the fixed file.

    btw. surprisingly this is a FH bug and not related to FHSW.
