No, it's even worst.

I don't care if a dark passworded server in Micronesia (no ofence to Micronesia, you rock :lol: ) decides to disable this, but I am sure the important servers will respect the devs decision, this is quid pro quo, we work like slaves to offer the mod for free to the servers and players and they host our mod to be played and enjoyed by their members and the rest of FH players, so every side must be grateful with the other.

It's a matter of respect, I hope the important servers will respect our work. Allowing basecamping in a map without this code is decided by the rules of the server, this code used in a map is decided by the FH devs and morally the server must respect this decision.

Re: Stealing Tanks is not Base Camping!

i hate to burst your bubble, but there is a way to lock maps so you cannot open the map .rfa's. then you cant modify a map period.
this would be a drag though, because "i" as a mapper have learned much by taking apart maps to see how stuff was done.

Ok, maybe change the word "snipers" to "bailed-out pilots jumping into unmanned flak and killing aircraft as they take off?" Or how about the nigh-unstoppable "bailed-out pilot jumps into armored half-track and guns down flak crew and pilots, who can only retaliate with pistol fire or jeep ramming"? These had nothing to do with the Battle of Britain either. Yet they feature prominently in this FH battle on unregulated servers.

This is a problem with the map, more specifically the vehicles. Lock 'em, problem solved. What are they gonna do, pistol snipe?

Realism doesn't have to be boring, and it definetly does not need to take away from the fun of the game. As a matter of fact, it often adds to it.

Says the guy supporting a magically invisible barrier around bases in order to make war "fair" and "fun". loljk

And second because it's one of all the decisions to balance a map and change it could screw the balance and the gameplay of a level as it was designed by a dude that wasted hundred hours of work

Can you give a list of the maps with this new code? Obviously, maps like BoB, where no camping of German air bases took place, should have it. However, other maps should allow camping.

Locking the important vehicles I can understand but the magical barrier is over the top. The trucks and jeeps should not be locked but they probably will be.

Re: Stealing Tanks is not Base Camping!

the so called "magic barrier" is what can be accoplished, to date with the engine, to represent a defence line. the game cant support a couple hundred bots nor can it support hundreds of players to actually man the line. so an invisible "pretend" line is what we get.

Re: Stealing Tanks is not Base Camping!

All in the name of realism. Ok. Whatever.

I think its in the name of fun gameplay and a tad of realism. Moreso for gameplay, a tiger on a repairpad blasting equipment and spawning troops wrecks both gameplay and realism :deal:

You're ignorant to think that it won't happen.

Jumping to conclusions is childish. He never said he thinks it won't happen.

No one cares about owners or the like. The second that map hits a download spot its free game to be modified however one wants weather the developer likes it or not

Just that you've got too little respect to care about peoples' wishes doesn't mean everyone else is, too. I hate to break this to you, child, but not everyone in the world is like you:moon:.

This is the point that no one is willing to listen to.

Aww, please. First you brag about blatantly disregarding everything called rules and EULAs and wishes of people spending untold man-hours making these things, then you whine because people don't listen to you?!

Odd, thathttp://forums.filefront.com/images/s...arrasmentx.gif.

"Only" and "just" are such wonderful words! No matter what you do, you can appear innocent as an angel by adding one or both of those words to your statements. It never seizes to astound me.

Lots of people who edit maps do.

Insertion point killing is allowed at Dead Meat.
About the vehicles, you lock em I unlock em.
I might even put a Sherman POA on Omaha's beach.
