Special thanks to bigchunk1, the founder, and to the crew who got the ball rolling: Sara, Hades, ION3, DeadlyinaShadow, QuantumDelta, MatthTheGeek, Droid803, Satellight, Shade, and (if I forgot you please yell at me)
This is a community project to build War in Heaven multiplayer, using a public SVN as a way to rapidly distribute balance tweaks and new missions. SVN is incredibly easy to use and really powerful. Follow the simple steps below to get set up!
To get involved:
- Make sure you have Blue Planet 2 correctly installed, including Blue Planet 1, the 3.6.12 MVPs, and all patches
- Install TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html) - guaranteed malware free
- Create a folder in your FreeSpace 2 directory called blueplanet2_multi
- Right click on it and hit 'SVN Checkout'
- Enter the following address in the 'URL of repository' field: https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/blueplanet2_multi/
- Press okay!
- Select blueplanet2_multi as your mod in the launcher, and assuming you have an FS2NetD account and everything is set up right, enjoy!
IMPORTANT
Before you start playing, make sure you're up to date by right clicking on the folder and hitting 'SVN Update'. Do this every time you want to play!
We will be building dogfight variants of ships and weapons and adding new missions. If you want to get involved in this, ask for an SVN account and you can make your own commits.
Okay, so, here's a report from our first time out.
General points:
-Dogfight versions of
-Redeemer
-Slammer
-Shrike
-Dart
-UXA
-Sidhe
-Tev fighters
-What am I forgetting?
Missions:
-Co-op
-Stained Mars Red is too easy.
-Karuna dogfight needs spells, ETS system, more music, better spawns
-
My opinion is to scratch the REEDEMAH (for MP).
I hope, for the future, to navigate Deimos-Corvettes through the MP-UEF battle lines. I think that the GTVA Fighters are as good as they are, but they need their primaries (Nyx with Prom would be godlike).
The Slammer is as deadly as expected, the damage should be reduced greatly.
And Stained Mars needs some UEF-Frigates, the destruction of these Diomedes-Corvette should be result in a greater battle (not too big because of the performance.)
-
I would like to set up a public SVN we can use to rapidly roll out changes and new missions.
-
aaaaaaaaaaahahahahah The Blade Itself in co-op was hilarious; Hades set it up so one person was the frigate and the rest were escorts. Unfortunately crashes EVERYWHERE
-
yeah but for a 10 minute job it was pretty ok, we were only testing to make sure it worked with more than one player anyway
-
It was awesome. Add some checks so the spells only turn up for Alpha 1. Also maybe more hostile wings, just cue them to jump in with the existing ones.
-
In future tests keep an eye on reverse afterburner acceleration. I don't know what to make of it yet. It's a pretty cool option for the player to have, but it changes the mechanics of the game.
-
People were complaining about about it earlier, but IMO it adds an interesting aspect to gameplay. The main problem is it's on the Kent, which is a bit too fast for multi atm.
Ship balance: In the first dogfight, I mainly only focused on bigchunk1 because he was in a Uriel, which was easy to kill since it was slow. Possibly the faster fighters like the Kent could be slowed down, and the slower ones could be augmented somehow.
Weapon balance: Hellfires are really useless here, possibly because of the faster ships. Darts, on the other hand, are overpowered, and don't even get me started on Slammers. Those things break the game. The Redeemer should be scrapped altogether where multi is concerned- it's absurdly overpowered, to the point that you can one-shot most enemies. I took a Redeemer for the third dogfight and won the battle, and I'm not even that good. In fact, a lot of the overly powerful primaries don't really belong in multi, and especially in dogfights.
tldr: tone down some missiles and make faster ships slower, for dogfight versions of each.

Absolutely agreed about the Kent's reverse afterburner and the Dart. I made, while I'm not a very good MP player, many -relatively- easy kills using both of them. That was obviously very fun, but not fair.
One word about the Karuna dogfight, even if the server crashes before completiing the game :doubt: . It will be useful to increase the Karuna speed a little IMHO. However, I found that playing tactically with the weapon range is very interesting in MP.
-
Later that night we had a 'Redeemer match' which was essentially a one shot kill elimination match in Durga bombers which are large and slow targets. That was pretty fun. I would be up for making a dogfight which is exclusively Durgas, and possibly Vajras.
The Uriel for the most part seems fine the way it is right now. It has good armor and has a single slot of 6 gunbanks to make quick work of enemy fighters. It flys much like a heavy assault fighter should, and has a turret which does come in handy for those situations where you are caught in a turning match with your opponent.
I have not yet found a use for the archer though. Maybe it's fine left alone as well but it's prettymuch an ornament unless you catch an enemy fighter without shields.
Look out for the Kent, the Lao Tze and possibly the Draco in the future. Some fighters are very quick.
Battuta mentioned on IRC a possible dogfight mission escalation match style where every time you are destroyed, you spawn as a more powerful ship. So you start with Scimitars (The Gef fighter) and maybe upgrade to an Aurora, HerkMk2, Uhlan... until your upgrade yourself all the way to Durgas, Vajras, and finally the Playable Karuna. Games of this type have been implemented before in other games such as Counter Strike and have been quite popular.
-
The inspiration was directly from Starfleet Command rather than CS.
-
Also, a good and easy way to balance the Reedeemer for dogfights would be to lower the shield damage to bomb-like levels. It's supposed to be an anti-cap weapon after all.

That's what the Archer is now.
I forgot to mention the Dirk missile. It's pretty underpowered in multiplayer. I can barely lock on by the time an enemy fighter is on top of me. I would advise decreasing the lock time or increasing the range... something. The missile's tracking is weak as well. I didn't get a chance to gage the damage because I don't recall hitting anything. I don't see any reason as it is now to use the Dirk over the Dart.
-
The Dirk has always been kind of crappy. It got a test buff for the 1.1 patch but was deemed OP and now it kinda languishes.
-
The Dirk has always been kind of crappy.
In singleplayer i do like its current incarnation. It's good for making enemy ships stop shooting at your wingmates/escort ships while you are still too far away to kill, or in head on engegements, where the AI is very dangerous if you don't manage to get it to stop shooting on you when you close in.
The key to this kind of use is a missle that is relatively resistand to countermeasures, but can be outmaneuvered quite easily, with high damage, high range, but it must not necessarily be fast or lock on fast. The current dirk is OK for that job, and kills bombers and transports/turrets.
I'd say make it have a bit more firepower and ammo to emphasize that role and it is perfect.
On that note: I think the Dart should have less ammo in sp, the harpoon more range, the Rockeye more firepower. Tell me if you want me to elaborate on that.
-
So I was messing around with a UEF gauntlet, and I don't know if this applies to multiplayer- but I was wondering if increasing the after-burner time for GTVA fighters might even the balance a bit?
-
For those of you seeing this for the first time - our priority right now is to build dogfight variants of imbalanced ships and weapons so that we no longer have hilarious Redeemer instagib matches and Atalantas armed only with Circes. :nervous:
-
Didn't read all 3 pages, but could make redeemer very ineffective against shields.
-
Slightly off-topic question, a few years ago when I played 3.6.9 multi with a (obviously never finished) self-made mod, the client always had a problem with ammo and never-depleting energy reserves on some types of weapons... forgot what kind, I think fighter-mounted beams but I don't remember those working right in single player in the first place... when the game complained about invalid tables I always double/triple/etc-checked to make sure both host and client had matching tables but it would still show...
The host would spawn with everything as per normal but the client spawns with no ammo and stuff and needs to commit suicide at least once. Then everything shows up on next respawn, guns, ammo, all working correctly (except for the fighter beams where you could practically lag the game by being too trigger-happy).
This was with virual LAN ala Hamachi though, not through FS2NetD due to bad ping but IIRC the connection type didn't matter.
Looking at the posts here, seems to me like that bug was fixed a long time ago? Or maybe the bug never existed and my slip-up might've been in MediaVPs... which I kinda doubt was the cause since I did the install on the client computer and the files were all the same?
Don't have the option of source control (never had, never will in a reasonable timeframe), but I did have infrequent access to the client pc so I roughly knew what files were being moved around...
That said, I'm curious with dogfight weapons, I'm nowhere near done with any tables (stripped all dogfight guns off my tables for now), but a good idea on weapon balance for future reference would be nice... obviously can't escape testing though, that's something important.
-
Hi, i got some trouble with this mod, can you help me?
OS - Windows. MediaVPs, Blueplanet - it's all up to date, using build from svn... still can't get game working.

Somebody probably committed something borked. Matth, Hades, did you test your commits?
-
Yep, multi-shp.tbm is borked. Working one attached.
[Edit] And in SVN as well now, so just use that. Attachment removed.
-
Shade if you sign up for an Assembla account and post the username I'll add you as a team member and you can commit. You should also be in the first post credits - fixing.
-
Yeah, sorry about that borked up ship tbm, it had weird formatting so I tried to fix it but apparently I ****ed up and FSO's error messages were no real help either; they pointed to line 1167 or something when the tbm only hit 1010.
-
Yep, thanks, all work now.
-
One more thing. The Blade Itself work's just fine, and it's just great, but there is something odd - i hear beam's from enemy corvete, but i don't hear my main cannon shooting. Maybe there is a way to make sound area a bit larger or something else?
-
That requires a sounds.tbl update. I don't see a new sounds.tbl created just for multiplayer since it's not a multiplayer specific issue. It's probably better to have change like that in a future patch for BP:WIH.
If the sound radius is too large however, it might be confusing in the main campaign to hear gauss fire from 5 clicks away in a fighter.
-
I thought it was because the player's turrets do not make sounds.
-
I thought it was because the player's turrets do not make sounds.
After some testing, I think you might be right. It's not the sound.tbl which is surprising since the Medusa, the Ursa, and the Prometheus Frame from Wings of Dawn all have audible player turrets. Whatever it is it's not a multiplayer specific issue.
-
I've noticed it, too... At first I thought it was problem on my end, so I updated my drivers and fixed sound for the main campaign.
Sound on The Blade Itself still has problems though.

Quick and dirty port of the original STV Gauntlet (original author: TCA-Lonestar).
In fact, I have not added anything there. Well, except the option to to fly on a UEF fighters.
http://kir2yar.dyndns.org/hlp/Lone_m02-bp2.fs2
Incidentally, the some reason the game crashes, if the list of available fighters about 130 units.
-
Maybe sticky it?

Some of us played BP2 multi today. It was a lot of fun!
General:
- Reverse afterburners don't work; even in co-op. Intentional?
- Gattler has negative ammo on first spawn, and is unusable. It works fine after respawn.
Stained Mars Red:
- Archer and Paveway don't appear to damage turrets and subsystems as effectively as in single-player. Perhaps the corvette is just more sturdy than I imagined.
Karuna dogfight mission:
- Players respawn right next to each other. Intial spawn is fine.
-
- Reverse afterburners don't work; even in co-op. Intentional?
No. I made a dogfight burner-less version of UEF fighters for dogfights, but the standard versions should still be used for coop, unless someone changed the coop missions.
- Gattler has negative ammo on first spawn, and is unusable. It works fine after respawn.
I guess the ammo-based primary code has never been tested with multieh. That bug is probably that old, just noone noticed it.
Stained Mars Red:

Blame lag. You think you hit it, and you didn't, or even you think you had achieved aspect lock when you actually hadn't yet.
-
Alright, #player versions of deimos, aeolus, hyperion, nayana, and Sanctus have been added along with a test tvt mission, update your SVN. Also, we need a host. :(
/me looks at Sara
-
We just played a couple rounds of this TvT in capships, it's okay but the hugfighting is a real issue and using ETS in multi TvT seems to cause turrets to stop firing. :blah:

Ou, sorry,
forgot to say user/pass: hlp / welkome
Never, never configure Apache during drinking. Very sorry that it happened.
Just some woodpeckers tried bruteforce my phpmysqladmin
-
You all went on BP multi again?! Send me a PM next time!
General:
- Reverse afterburners don't work; even in co-op. Intentional?
No, that's not intentional. I remember them working fine when we tested it the other week... strange.
Stained Mars Red:
- Archer and Paveway don't appear to damage turrets and subsystems as effectively as in single-player. Perhaps the corvette is just more sturdy than I imagined.
That's exactly right. The corvette in that mission has double normal hitpoints. Next update will have reduced hitpoints and more baddies to fight.
Karuna dogfight mission:
- Players respawn right next to each other. Initial spawn is fine.
That's an unforeseen bug specific to Karunas in dogfighting missions. The mission was initially intended for one life per player. I currently have no clue why Karunas do this over fighters.

That sounds like a lot of fun! Team play would seem to open a new window for strategy in capitol ship fighting. Sorry to hear about the ETS.
You all play Kir2yar's mission?
-
Capfighting just great! It's what, i think, we all wanna see in Freespace!
-
We just played a couple rounds of this TvT in capships, it's okay but the hugfighting is a real issue and using ETS in multi TvT seems to cause turrets to stop firing. :blah:
I suggested some time ago ingame that all capships in cap-fights should have a kamikaze code. :) If you bump into someone, you die. Maybe bells and whistles start to go off when you get too close, warning you.
-
This sounds kind of satisfactory, but presumably it'd kill both players and that would mean losing ships would just ram?
-
Unless it can register head-on collision, or perhaps punish whoever crashes harder into the other. (For example, a head-on headbang hurts more than getting poked in the wing). Explosions would still hurt the other player. This may make it a tactic in team play to go and ram the enemy when you run out of health.
Other interesting factors can be the importance of knocking down subsystems. Perhaps if a sensor goes down on a capship, your beam and artillery distance is halved (since they autofire). If nav goes down your ship no longer gives warning sounds when nearly colliding with someone. If the weapons subsystem goes down perhaps your ship can no longer use their flak and smaller turrets to hold off missiles, fighters, etc. Losing engines is obvious, 0 speed, stranding. Losing the communications array may make it impossible to command your fighters if a mission grants players fighter support.
Perhaps special multi-versions of capships can be made, giving all ships missile abilities (also GTVA ships). I found it's possible to win with a huge difference in capship battles as long as you glide sideways in time to use your flak turrets to take out the enemies missiles.
-
I like the idea of destroyable subsystems but if we allow turrets to be destroyable they'll need some good armor, as would the other ones.
and yeah that's a good idea, have versions of all the player caps with missiles.

Kinda happened (out of chance) because the Sanctus had a huge Mass value, allowing it to plow through Aeolus cruisers.
Ramming kills aren't very fun.

I'd godmode turrets, just knock them out when certain subsystems go.

Perhaps a multi-version of the ship, since they'd probably be modified with missiles or other ballance means anyway? I can imagine slash-beams may find themselves altered as well to give GTVA ships a more reliable fighting chance.
-
sgreens have a dogfight version with 30 second recharge and 3.5 beam lifetime, up from 45 seconds and 2.5 beam lift-time, the dps on the default sgreen is 64.
And yes, the Sanctus was modified and uploaded to the SVN.
-
What's its DPS now? :P
-
Tits if I know. :nervous:
-
While testing the mission bp2-mc01 I encountered this assert.
LUA ERROR: [string "bp2-betty-sct.tbm - On State Start"]:57: attempt to index field 'communications' (a nil value)
I got this error when I died and tried to click on 'observer mode' to respawn. (should have more than one life but game crashes anyways) I have been getting this bug every time I try to respawn. I think it has something to do with the implementation of '*****ing betty'. Here is a debug log.
Note: I used vanilla because the SVN multi version causes asserts before I hit the menu. Something about the player beam turrets.
http://pastebin.com/PiEsqxFp
Has anyone else run into this bug? I would think you all would have run into it on Sunday.
EDIT: here's the assert I get with the debug build on SVN multi. nightley 6832

AFAIK, Observer mode is broken for all multi.
Some bug in the code.
Not 100% on that one.
-
Observer mode is fine. If it is crashing, it's something else causing it. To determine what, then for starters, stuff that causes asserts in debug needs to go (SGreen#player, I'm looking at you). After that, we can start actually testing.
Incidentally, a general rule of thumb with this sort of thing is that if it doesn't run in debug, don't commit it.
-
I had to make the sgreen#player from several sources so yeah it's probably my fault, I will run it through debug and fix it though.
EDIT: Fixed, commiting
-
Much better :yes:
-
Hmmm...ok then, its probably something to do with Obs mode not liking the Betty script.
-
SVN updated. I fixed observer mode and got it to work, but I had to disable betty to do it. Let me know what you all think about this.
-
Tried to setup a standalone. Get the following: "no actions specified for conditional hook in file 'bp2-betty-sct.tbm'"
-
Yeah that damn Betty script really doesn't seem to like multi.
-
Sorry Fubar, I didn't see this until now.
Tried to setup a standalone. Get the following: "no actions specified for conditional hook in file 'bp2-betty-sct.tbm'"
I get that same error in debug. I think the reason why Is because I replaced the betty script with a blank script to essentially 'kill' betty. I believe the assert is just letting you know that there is a script in your mod that does nothing. It should work otherwise. Observer mode works fine now, and multi seems to work ok in release mode without any betty related asserts.
If there's a better way to do this please let me know.
And thanks much for trying to get WIH multi up and running on your standalones. That should be a big help in the future if it gets off the ground.
-
Whatever the last change was it got by the error. Standalone now up.
-
Tables updated today. Make sure everyone playing has their SVN up to date or you will step on bad bugs.
Thanks to Fubar for setting up the BP standalone. (Laporte's Pub). Even if you haven't forwarded your router ports, you should be able to host using it. Help us test it out!

Been trying to convert the mission 'Delenda est' to multiplayer, but debug threw an assert.
Fs2 log:

Would be nice to get this mission converted, any suggestions?
-
You might need to rip out everything related to the checkpoint system, unless you've done that already.
-
Can't see why...
-
Forced Entry used stuff calling and modifying campaign global-variables, and it didn't caused any issues when porting to multi. I don't see why it would be different here.
-

Good point. Not sure if it's the culprit, but there's so much going on in this mission it might be a good idea to remove as many extraneous features as possible.
Think this mission would need a checkpoint system? I can't really test it because I can't even get to gameplay yet.
-
No, probably not. Respawns are basically a better checkpoint system (well, aside from the fact that you're OH NO SO FAR AWAY)
-
Looking to have another test sometime in the next few weeks (mid to late march). I would like to know when people have their spring break so we can fit the test sometime in that week. If anyone has a particular time they would like to have the test, now's the time to speak up.

Locked, use Bigchunk's new thread.
