AAS on POE2, is it worth it

[Liberator]

Well, after getting the right BF2 server code (Battlefield2.com only has the 1.4 version on its link page), I managed to hack the PoE and AAS code together into something I thought I could work with.

My first few attempts crashed the server at startup :frusty: , but I then found out how to switch on debug mode and trawled through the logs after each crash.

This pointed me to a few syntax errors in the Python code, they consisted of things as simple as a few missing TAB indents and some global variables I forgot to define, Python is very picky.

Easily sorted.

So.............

I present the first screenshot from PoE2:AAS, taken at the MEC (now Ukranian) base. I drove through some capture points on the way to get the AAS messages to show up.

I've also tested that the PoE features were not harmed in any way by loading up 'Gulf of Oman' and going into an uncapturable enemy base, it still causes basecamping death and you can't capture flags from inside a helicopter.

So, the logic is up and working sooner than I expected, which means I now have to start pulling the PoE specific maps apart for the relevant information for ASS routing. :sad:

I don't think loading the code up on the main server just so we can play SAK and the rest of the vanilla maps in PoE mode is worth it, you'll get the finished product soon enough, but almost certainly not for tomorrow.



Also, I've just noticed how low my GFX card is set on PoE2. Time to knock the res up and turn on AA.

And I'm not feeling too well either! :sad:

Helps if they've got the latest patches and MOD installed. :whistle:

And if only 10% of BB's 400 strong voting party turn up, we'll be on the 64 player maps. :g:

Lib,

Your efforts are much appreciated esp as your not feeling 100%

We'll see the results when we see the results in the meantime tonight will be a normal POE2 night without AAS so see you around 8.

Spread the word.
