3d MRB Liberation V2.0

[HM2 Gluttony]

I wanted to make this post for those that frequent the 13th MEU Liberation mission on the Public Server. Once we complete the current map i.e. capture everything. We are going too work on version 2.0. I would like if anyone who has a recommendation about how too improve the mission to put it here. All ideas welcome! Thanks gents.

Current Planned Changes
- Add more RHS vehicles
- Change to 3d MRB
- Increase prices slightly too avoid, excessive spending
- New Maps / Chern,Tanoa
- ACE Repair
- Medic blood issue
- Increase amount of threat lost per enemy fob destroyed
- Decrease cost of Intel pet secondary objective.

Designated AIR FOB's/Bases, so people don't just spawn Birds in the middle of nowhere.

Its the pub server so we are going to keep it lite with Basic for now.

If a Headless client works like I think it does, we wont be able to use it because the enemy would retake everything back during the low play hours, we have a problem managing our threat level and if nobody is on and its up around 200% we would loose most of our FOB's in a night. Then again I may be miss informed about what a Headless client actually does.

Its the public server its just something we are all going to have to deal with for the time being.

If you want to be ambitious, perhaps more types of secondary objectives? Not sure if the original authors have much documentation.

I would be willing to look into that, as of rite now the Authors of the mission only have 2 set, but it would be nice to have more.

the medical settings you guys are using now is all screwed up. Make sure the bleed coefficient isn't to high, one 250M should be more than enough for any patient when we did basic in the 506th

Thats not realy how the headless clients work.

I can look at the bleed coefficient. Any other suggestions for medical?

[MSgt (Ret) Bingham]

Consider disabling restricted items to corpsman, not enough slots and not enough teamwork

[Sgt (Ret) Livingston]

So what do you expect them to do when corpsman arent on?

[MSgt (Ret) Bingham]

Treat themselves, currently you have to be a medic slot to give blood, so blood is restricted to medics. I am suggesting you take that off, anyone can do basic medical 

[Sgt (Ret) Livingston]

OHHHHH i misunderstood. yeah i agree

Correct, persistent headless client doesn't perform in the way you'd think.
Persistent AI calculations is actually a parameter in the server config file, set to 0 or 1.
When persistent=1, the server is always running the loaded map and AI run around all the time.
When persistent=0, the server is always running but the map unloads and the AI offload until a player comes online. (this is our preferred setup)

Some information for our readers:
Headless Dedicated Server and Headless Client are almost identical in setup and usage but the misunderstood part is what they actually do.

The Headless Dedicated Server (HDS) hosts the map, host transactions between clients/server, and CAN compute AI calculations by itself.
Headless Client on the other hand acts as a client, using -client, that connects to the designated server to take over AI calculations, this is ONLY used to distribute the workload over multiple processors or cores depending on the usage.

A headless client is only used when two conditions need to be met:

1. When the HDS is having resource dependency issues while processing AI calculations. (ie, the HDS is maxing out on CPU usage as an application)
2. and when hardware configuration allows for this style of setup. (ie, either a very powerful box or multiple boxes on the same LAN)

I hope this helps in explaining the persistent parameter as well as the similarities and differences between Headless Dedicated Servers (HDS) and Headless Clients.

So how would a headless client benefit us? Just take some of the stress of the server and spread the load?

It would not benefit the public server at this point in time.
We only use the headless client for training and OP server workload distribution, I do not recommend it for the public server unless there are performance issues reported.

What was really misunderstood was the usage of headless client vs the persistent parameter.

For the record none of the server hosting or configuration is a secret, I mean I wrote a document on it.
Also all the information can be referenced back to BI's wiki on dedicated servers and parameters pages.

I can say that every time I play liberation as opposed to just playing the pub server as we have always played it, my game either crashes, or my frames drop to about 3 FPS, and then I see my character as a body on top of another body. I don't usually have this issue on other servers. Could someone tell me how to fix this, or what is causing it? 

Thanks

Its a large problem in Arma atm, they are calling it a memory leak. Causes the textures to essentially unload in game.
