    Anyone got a Vars text file to drop into the server to run the game as a preset normal/hardcore. Mine keeps showing as custom which hides it from the main filter.

    Not sure man, not really into hardcore but I hear it is tricky to get working right. It was a big enuogh pain getting our servers to show as Official/normal but I reckon it should be fixed in the next patch

    silly Q,

    went to add gaellords to my favs there but they're both only coming up as 8 man servers..:confused:

    There's an adaptive plugin installed, so when 6 people are joined the server it'll increase the 16 slots, 12 people joined it'll increase to 24 and so on.

    The reason for this is because the Quick Join function in Battlelog ranks servers based on percentage full, so if a server has 2 out of 8 people playing, it is 25% full, instead of there being 2 out of 64, which would only be ~3% full.

    Is Gaellords #1 okay? The unlocks were gone a short while ago, and the game results haven't been uploaded to EA, as if it were an unranked server.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,936 ✭✭✭ewj1978


    Just went onto gaellords 1 and no rankings or unlocks..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,606 ✭✭✭Laviski


    there was a server patch all services back to normal.

    Apologies lads, seems to resent update made a balls of them. Feel free to PM me if there's anything wrong with the server next time. I'll get emailed about it so it will be quicker :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,085 ✭✭✭Grumpypants


    Finally got it running on Normal Ranked and 40 players Rush/ conquest all Maps. No spectators. 2 Commanders. Ill get the 40 players locked for Rush maps soon too.

    I am going to leave it alone for a few days but I will be making it a hybrid of hardcore and normal soon. So it will have a mini map and 100% health but friendly fire will be on and there will be no health regeneration for soldier or vehicles, no 3rd person camera/ kill cam. I also like the sound of full clip reloads. But some of the hardcore stuff is over the top.

    If anyone wants to add it to the favs and Ktulu if you can update the sticky I will think kind thoughts about you all evening :)

    I have swapped over to Hardcore. 42slots conquest and Rush all maps. The server is empty right now so if there are 3 others online who can jump online to get it rolling.

    Up and running now with Hardcore settings.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,093 Mod ✭✭✭✭ktulu123


    Do you want me to change it to Hardcore in the servers sticky?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,085 ✭✭✭Grumpypants


    Yea I think I will run hardcore for a bit. Only thing is keeping the server up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30 Nologogo


    Are there admins on the Gaellords servers? Was on last night and spent the majority of two or three maps being baser**ed, four or five players down, with teams stacked heavily against.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,038 ✭✭✭✭Sparks


    Yeah, it got downright silly at one stage (so I thought ah lads, feck this and went elsewhere). You were spawning and dead before your screen came up from black.

    Yep. Good server is only as good as the admins.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,405 ✭✭✭KillerShamrock


    Its not that there is no admins its just set up as official server which can't be administered as such due to dice/ea rules its to prevent badming. I think the lads are working towards changing so the admins can work their magic. There are a few on here so maybe they can shed more light

    The server is on Official preset, which means no players can be kicked or banned. There were admins online.

    That's not very fair Nologogo, I think educating yourself in how a server is run should be done first before you go insulting the guys that run it.

    As this is an official server we have very little control over various aspects of it. Team Balance being one of them, the system in at the moment is a DICE one & is shockingly bad at balancing the teams. I have no doubt it will be fixed in the future.

    What time was this at? We are not always playing Battlefield as it is impossible for us to play 24hrs a day. Our teamspeak is advertised multiple times during a round on the server. If you are having issues on the server why not join & inform someone on there?

    You can also PM me here on boards with any issues.

    Hey hold on, its a perfectly fair statement to make. Having a server populated does not make it a good server. Its the admins that do that. Cant see how you can disagree with that. Adding to that, I didn't insult anyone, I just pointed out what I see as a flaw in the server configuration.

    You guys decided to make it an "Official" server in order to get the automatch traffic from within battlelog. It makes populating the server a lot easier in order to take EA's player traffic, you sacrifice your administrators rights.
    That's true yes?

    It is a decision you guys made, it was a choice you took, and as a result, if a hacker comes online your admins and can do absolutely nothing to stop them. If teams are stacked you can do nothing to stop that. If a racist comes online and starts mouthing off, you can do nothing to stop them. All because you guys decided to make the server an official server.
    That's true yes?

    You could easily make it a ranked server and admin it yourselves couldn't you?

    I understand how the servers work. We have two running ourselves, one ranked, one official (and I don't play on the official one for that very same reason). This isn't a BF4/Dice/EA thing. They gave you a choice and you took the "Official" one instead of the "Ranked" one. You guys made the decision to not admin the server.

    Well why bother? You cant do anything to fix any issues that are raised as long as the server remains configured as it is.

    Look I like the fact that you are hosting the servers and bringing some players together. Its good. I just don't like that the server doesn't have any admins, that's all.

    Its not personal. I'm not here saying our servers are better than yours etc. Its not meant as an insult. Its just an opinion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 914 ✭✭✭TheFairy


    Guys there are any amount of RCON tools that will allow you to admin the server, which I am sure you are aware off. Its nonsense to say that you cannot kick players, of course you can, how else do you make spaces for clan members when server full?

    Also Procon can easily do auto balancing, kit limiting etc etc etc.

    [Edit] Just seen the automatch part there, wasnt aware of that. I'd rather play on a well adminned half full server than a full one that is unbalanced and full of a-holes causing bother etc.

    Yes, like we said...you cannot ban or kick people if you use the Official preset.

    I think the thing to do with BF4 servers is use the Official preset for a few weeks until the server gets regulars and people have it favourited. The GaelLords.com #1 server is currently 41st in the world on GameTracker out of over 6600 servers, because of people playing on it regularly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,085 ✭✭✭Grumpypants


    I've a ranked hardcore server running with procon installed with full admin, balancing and banning rights and it gets traffic from quickmatches. You just need to get a game running that is the tricky bit but if you can get 4 people online at once to start a match then it fills in seconds and stays full for hours.

    Every server will get idiots on it and it's impossible to be on 24 hours a day to monitor for them so that's why I went hardcore. The players who play a lot of bf and play it properly play on hardcore servers. Normal servers are a hotbed for idiots and trolls.

    If you don't want to play with idiots play on hardcore, it is actually much better and easier on hardcore because soldiers aren't bullet sponges and don't regenerate their health and the enemy doesn't have a map to your location on the screen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,606 ✭✭✭Laviski


    Hello guys,

    If you have an issue with the GaelLords servers please contact myself by pm on this forum or the forums on gaellords.com and even better yet pop onto the ts3 server gaellords.com:9987 look for a admin there is normally a person online that will be able to help and i'm online there most evenings.

    We are currently running a teamspeak sync for our battlefield servers which means once you join the staging channel it will automatically move you to the correct channel for your team. At the end of each round both teams will be moved back into the staging channel again. This is one of many features to come on our servers.

    Yes our Servers are run on official mode it may or may not be like next month or not. We hope to implement some third party anti cheats to the server shortly. But official or not if you have a issue direct it to me please and it will be dealth with.

    Thanks,

    Laviski.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    Our server is ranked with a lot of active admins,seems to be full 24/7 with many regulars.
    Ranked works great for us.

    I have maybe 10-15 servers added to my favourites list and without doubt the GaeLlords and our own server seem to be full 24/7.
    Played on GaeLlords over the weekend and had no issues.

    Theres also an EA DICE test server in Ireland but rarely populated.

    Would be a pretty cool thing to organize a weekly skirmish between all of the Irish based servers. We DEFINITELY(ie. me :P) need a few more weeks of practice before anything like that could happen :)

    A rule would need to be put in place though. This would be for FUN, bitching moaning etc not allowed as it just ruins the craic of it all

    I understand that no settings can be changed, Just for a quick one or two games to see any differences?

    Just pick BF4 up on PC, hopefully see ye on some of the Irish servers in the coming days. :D Be kind, I've to get used to mouse and keyboards again.

    So, on Celts, [MIKU]AKARI233 loves sitting in the do-not-go area, attacking helos in the other spawn. Can a Celts admin ban the ****er please? He's turned Lancan Dam from a game into an exercise in waiting for the tickets to run down.
