Insurgency WAR!

[ZenPhire-KauaiBoi]

The idea is that marines start first and attack... they begin from the FOB so they choose one of the neutral zone maps to play on, if they win, they then push to the INS FOB and play there. If the marines loose at the INS FOB, then it's then the INS turn and they get to choose a neutral map to attack on, if they win, they push to the Marine FOB, if they loose then it's the marines turn to choose again.

The real fun starts when one side is able to take the other teams FOB, then they get to push to either of the main bases, if they loose at the intermediate map (the map just before the main base map), then they now have to defend on the FOB and try to hold out, else get pushed all the way back to their FOB.

If the enemy attacks your main and looses, they don't get pushed back to the intermediate map, they have to defend against a counter attack on your (now theirs) FOB.

Because the FOBs have to switch sides (because whichever team controls it will be the defending team), the imc2 files have to be switched each time control is switched both FOBs.

Once you beat an enemy on a main base map, then that base is totally destroyed and that arm is not played again. So the objective of the war is to destroy both of the enemies main bases.

I have some custom IMC2 files that should make it really work perfectly.
To avoid a 12 hour war, I think the reinforcements should be drastically limited, so that rounds play MUCH faster, thus the custom imc2 files to tweak cap times, reinforcement numbers, etc.

What do you think?

Questions?

Just out of curiosity - why are there maps that crash the server on there?

[ZenPhire-KauaiBoi]

To avoid having to do too many imc2 file changes we will be renaming copies of the FOB maps (atm: sinjar and buhriz). Doing this yourself will eliminate any unnecessary long downloads from the server.

Copy buhriz and sinjar maps to your insurgency maps directory renaming the copies:
ins_sinjar_r.bsp
and
ins_buhriz_r.bsp

...and you'll be set!

[Edit: The default map files are all contained in the GCF file so you'll need to use GCFscape ( http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=26 ) to extract them, or get them from a server. (or install an Insurgency server through steam and grab them there; look under the "tools" tab in steam, and after installing, search for the maps directory).]

[Edit: Due to the complexity and inconvenience of doing this oneself, we will be continuing to manually swap the imc2 files until a convenient solution can be found!]

If anyone has better DL links of these versions, please post them (but make sure they are the correct versions!).

Does anyone have access to a server that we can use for fast DLs... it will help for those who haven't DLed the customs themselves... If we can't find one to use soon I'll go ahead and purchase one.

Aloha and see you all at the WAR!

Does the HoB one still work?  Forgot to donate money to them for it, but maybe they overlooked it.  All the info is in the private infrastructure area.

OH!! Can we FTP to it!? I had to disable it because the maps weren't on it and so it gave failures due to missing maps... but If I can upload maps... I'll help donate for that too! (I'm so sorry for not having researched it myself more thoroughly)

You are a life-saver Snake! I can't believe I missed that! =D
I'll upload the maps and we can test the speed before the WAR.

I had a great time in the maps I managed to catch towards the end. By that time, there was such unit cohesion and communications, it was truly impressive to see. I recorded demos of the matches if anyone wants to put together a video.

[NyteSniper]

Well that's why you need to join us Argyll

cooome onnnn pweeeaaazzzeee???!!! lmao
