The award winning Project Reality and Black Sand Studios (http://blacksandstudio.com/) teams are proud to announce the official release of Project Reality v0.6.

All of these new game play changes, combined with the addition of new vehicles, weapons, maps, and factions promise players the most realistic gaming experience available for the Battlefield 2 platform.

Please everyone use the torrent if you can because it is more secure error checking wise.

to get around afew bugs with BF2 we have used the same file name for AAS, as vBF2 uses for conquest. the BF2 menu picks this up with conquest, even thou all our files tell it its AAS, one of the many bugs with BF2.

there is no conquest in PR ;)

Waiting until there are more people online. A lot of guys dont seem to understand the new rules, trying to get three squad members near enough to spawn a rally point is a bit annoying, but (hopefully) that will change. Still waiting to play new maps, only new one was nicely re-done version of gulf of oman.

... or crowd near objectives which need to be blown up...
If you're a soldier on ground and you see civilians near the ammo caches, just knife them.

[R-DEV]Gaz

07-17-2007, 03:53 PM

Wow. The current civilian implementation is horrible. People who play civilians jump around you and try to run into your line of fire, or crowd around the insurgents, or crowd near objectives which need to be blown up. I fail to see the realism, if any civilian was doing this in a war zone, there'd be no problem if they happened to get shot doing this stupid ****. I hope people get tired of being civilian, now it seems half the insurgent team goes civilian...

That'll be the problems western soldiers have to deal with every day in places like Afghanistan and Iraq (not classed as warzones officially). Not exactly *jumping* round you, but they are still a HUGE factor in opening fire on any legitimate target. If civvis go down, you can bet your *** there'd be an investigation by the Military Police at some stage.

Plus you have the people who have never played the Open Beta who are getting to grips with the new build, or just plain being a pita ;)

Putting an unarmed class into a first person shooter is obviously an experiment that will take some time and learnings to get tweaked correctly.

07-17-2007, 05:05 PM

What do we have to do to make a local server for us to practice on? Requesting kits without certain number of squad members, no time limit between requesting, short spawning time, etc. I'm guessing it has something to do with the configs in python\game.

eggman

07-17-2007, 05:23 PM

If you just fire up a local / lan server PR uses the config file "realityconfig_private.py" in /mods/pr/python/game/.

You can edit this file to whatever configuration you like.

I'd like to see us make a lil configuration applet or the like, just never gotten around to it, so for now it's a text file you can edit with notepad or some such.

Yeah I love playing as a civ too, however I think that the insurgents should get something for picking up British kit bags! for every 5 picked up I think a destroyed ammo cache should re spawn randomly somewhere on the map or something

solodude23

07-17-2007, 06:12 PM

First let me say that there has obviously been a ton of work done on this MOD and it looks great. I really appreciate the work that all of the members of the MOD community are doing.

But, I'm not sold on this one. I did try it out and have to say that it is just too complicated for this casual gamer. There are too many of the 'you have to do this to make this happen in this order' and 'you need this many in a squad to make that happen'. Also, the time that is required to actually capture a flag is so long. I foresee many stalemates at the very first flag, since they are "required" to be capped in a certain order. Also, the different kinds of penalties for doing something wrong just baffled me. I guess that I just like the original game play the best, more straight forward.

These are just my opinions. I hope that other more hardcore players enjoy it.Honestly, those things are mainly the point and meant to make the 'casual gamer' feel that way. I have been playing .6 since the very first released beta and everyone who played that got used to it after giving it a try for more than a day. Basically - as it is now; the more teamwork and coordination you are using the more successful you will be. As a squad I rarely ever see those "you have to do this" messages anymore. It just takes getting used to.

However, you may not like it either way. I just remember when the beta had just gone public, many people felt the same way as you so now. In time though *most* people got the hang of it and began to like it. Like I said you maybe wont.

Thanks for being so constructive and non-bashing. I love you.

ahhhhhhhhhhdaslfdsv. it finally downloaded 100%, but it's been "seeding" for like an hour. WTF?Your file has been completed for about an hour then :p Just go to the directory where your torrent manager stores your downloaded files and open the PR file. you could have done this the second your file got to 100%. Seeding means you are uploading the file to other users. This is a good thing, as you are helping others have a faster download speed. The more seeders, the better. Although you do not have to seed, I recommend it. It's what keeps torrents alive. :p

Played for a while as a medic, it was cool, you have to actually sit in front of your team mate, and press fire to heal them. sucks when you are getting shot at, but the realism is nice. its great for your opponents to actually die from your gunshots also unlike BF2, where you have to drill them really good before they drop.

BF2 is alot of fun , but Project Reality will be great after you take the time to play and learn.:yay:

I have been having quite a few CTD's and full on reboots. Anyone else?

I think we're stretching some stuff in the sound engine pretty far. Any time I ever had weird behaviours during the beta it appeared to be sound related.

Additionally some of the texture memory requirements we're imposing with long view distances is probably messing with certain hardware configurations.

I never had a lot of CTDs (or even *any* that we couldn't find a cause for) during the open beta.

We'll continue to look into it tho.

Why oh why is there no incremental from 0.5 -> 0.6(09)? I'd think with so much talent in the PR dev team they would have managed an incremental?!?

$kelet0r

07-18-2007, 11:10 AM

because of the sheer volume of changes an incremental patch would probably only be slightly smaller than a full install.
you can't compare this release to an EA style patch which may or may not work

great job PR team! Love the mod! Once you get used to it, it is tons of fun. I just hope that all this hype keeps up and a player base can maintain. I also hope that all those here also try the other mods releasing this week and soon. I love the mod scene, it is because of you guys that the game continues to be a success to EA, great job guys!

got the same feeling too. hate to say it but pr almost seems to be sucking the fun out of battlefield. there's some great stuff to it but altogether it just gets frustraiting for me.

for example, and although mostly my ignorance caused it, i don't see how i'm gonna enjoy now i do know the deal:

1. spawn as commander. decide to help out bulding fancy new stuff. drive to the action. die halfway there (partly due to lack of air transport and map distance).
2. try again. spawn at rally point. woohoo it works. try to build stuff. "sorry, need X kit". try to get kit from rally point. "sorry, need to be at main". die.
3. try again. spawn at main. get correct kit, because of which can't drive armour or fly (i think...). dodge hell in a jeep to get to action. try to build stuff. "sorry, need a command post thingy". try to build thingy. "sorry, need to be near flag".
4. get back in jeep, drive to nearest flag. build command thing. drive back. by this time it's been 10 odd minutes...
5. try to build good stuff. "sorry, can't build unless near flag". die.
6. spawn in apc, easier to get near flag with. exit apc, ask for kit. "sorry, can't give kit from here". now can't drive apc, 10 minute walk to nearest flag, already spent 15 pissing about. give up and resign.

now, am i the only one seeing the problem with this? i've spent 15 minutes trying to do one thing (build a bunker) in a game that's only gonna last 30. i'm all for realism, but hey, why not just have a map where you spend 24 hrs stuck in the mess hall eating beans? realistic, but not fun. just like getting injured exiting a moving vehicle. cept in real life, at least you can tell the driver to F*£KING STOP THE DAMN THING. why they never listen :shakehead: i just wanna go to the flag, not round in circles :cry:

You find it frustrating because you don't want to put the effort in to mastering the challenge, simple as that. You either want to be challenged in a game or you should go back to shallow twitch shooters where 12 year olds are the competition. For me the former is most important so that even a relatively simple game like PR is immensely fun. But you should never state that "pr almost seems to be sucking the fun out of battlefield" just because you are lazy.

if i wanted to master the challenge, i'd join the army. i wanna play a game, one that lasts 30 minutes or so, i don't wanna spend half of that at main base waiting for vehicles to spawn because they have a 10 min timer and i know it'll take me that long to walk to the next flag, and i'd like not to have to rely on someone else having the nounce to have placed a spawn point elsewhere which for now few people seem to do. each of those features not necessarily being a bad thing on their own, but together it does slow stuff down a bit.

i'm not saying no one enjoys that, you clearly do, i'm just saying more may enjoy it if it were simpler. plus, dc lags like hell for me so pr's the only decent desert based mod i can play for now :(

$kelet0r -
Most other games/mods I play release incremental patches.. So PR is the exception to the rule. Too bad, not much to do about it. A pitty though, why buy a new car instead of just getting the new tires?

Regarding your comment earlier on the way PR plays;
You either want to be challenged in a game or you should go back to shallow twitch shooters where 12 year olds are the competition.
You are not a little predjudice now are you? It seems like many of the PR fans think they are the crem de la crem of the FPS game genre.. Let me judge for once; you are no better nor worse than any others around. It seems like you are a bit worse than others, though, at taking critisism of your favorite mod.

we dont say we are better or worse, but what we do say is we offer something the other mods in BF2 can not bring, for the players that do like PR :)

the players that do like PR will not like vBF2, and the players that like vBF2 will most likely not like PR (unless they change there minds, much like me after giving PR a really good shot before I made up my mind). The only thing you can do is just respect your fellow mans view on what gameplay he likes, and move on :D

I really enjoy playing PR, POE2, DCON, OPK, vanilla etc. I have no bias towards any of the mods. There's a learning curb to all mods as well as vanilla.. Once the intial feeling around and getting grips on things I can't say that any mod requires more skill than any other from the player. I'm sure there are plenty of guyz that would whoop any one in PR if they just took to playing it for a while. Individual skill is nothing that any mod can claim.
So, referring to other games other than PR as "shallow twitch shooters where 12 year olds are the competition" is pretty lame and shows quite some lack of respect for other games, mods and players.

-- snip --

now, am i the only one seeing the problem with this? i've spent 15 minutes trying to do one thing (build a bunker) in a game that's only gonna last 30.

So er... you jumped in and started to play the Commander role without reading any of the manuals and supporting materials, couldn't get any of the stuff done and then decide the mod is boring?

We have intentionally made the Commander role one that has a fair amount of depth. I'd love to have better UI and usability aids but there are limitations in what we can do within the engine. So it is what it is .. and we rely on players interested in the Commander role to have gained some offline knowledge about how the role works.

Also the Commander stuff is largely designed for longer rounds and larger maps, which is a direction we are taking the mod.

We can certainly do a lot more to improve the player guides and such, but er... the fact that you played the Commander role without reading any documentation is not really something we can design around.

We've intentionally made the roles gradually more complex:
- grunt = pick a kit, all you really need to know if how the mouse works and what # your squad is
- specialist kits = need to know how and where to obtain these, in addition to the above
- specialist kits - pilot and crewman kits = need to know how and where to obtain these, as well as how to operate the vehicles, in addition to the above
- squad leaders = need to know how and when you can set a rally point, in addition to the above
- commander = fairly complex role, has some "bureaucracy" to deal with (rules about building) and has a fairly significant impact on the game world (but not in what we consider the ghey all seeing eye raining down artillery way that the Commander role does in vBF2).

The vast majority of players will be Grunts and there is only 1 Commander per team. The complexity basically scales upwards as the number of required players to fill those roles gets smaller. So the fact that you jumped in and played the Commander role, which is at the top of the complexity chain, without any prior knowledge and then condemn the mod as boring isn't really an aspect of feedback we'd evaluate as being valid.

And not everybody is going to like the style of play in PR. It's probably a bit more like ArmA than it is like BF2 in some ways.

pepsi_max2k (http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/member.php?u=11689): it is very rare for a round of PR to last only 30 minutes, so i think you have the wrong mod.

A typical round of PR can last 2+ hours....

Here's a tip for starting a match once your commander:

1) Make sure you spawn as an engineer
2) Spawn at your main base
3) Get near the flag and request the officer kit
4) After picking up the kit, place a command bunker directly in front of you
4) Drop your officer kit and pick up your old engineer kit
5) Repair the command bunker (wrench) for a few seconds
6) pickup your officer kit again to keep it "fresh" so that it doesn't despawn
7) pickup ur engineer kit immediately again and finish repairing the command bunker to full health
8) Pickup your officer kit again and request the support truck.
9) Go and do whatever.....

It seems like the new firearm sounds are too bright imo. Not very realistic sounding, but very loud in the high EQ range. The 3d sound changes I couldn't really notice, but I have to give it more of a try.

About the Download size. I did notice that a lot of the Sound files from BF2 are taken and put into the PR folders. That stuff really adds to the DL size. Might as well leave them where they are. I got very good DL speeds on the torrent though, nice work seeders!!!!!!

Good Job, only thing I didnt like in this version was the having to have 3 of your squad members to put out a RP..pain in the ars lol. I dont know why but it seems like there was more team play in 5 than 6, but then again im sure more bf2 players are getting into PR and playing like they do in regular BF2. I loved v5 when I would go into a server and just about every squad I joined or made we all worked as a team to win the game. Now just about every squad I jump in or make 90% of the people dont communicate or work together and spread out across the map and it takes an act of god to get them to spawn on you so you can get a RP out. Might as well play regular bf2. My bud started kicking guys out of the squad if they didnt work as a team. Im thinking about doing the same. Other than that its a great mod.

which you should do, dont let people in your squads who dont play as a team, just so they can get limmited kits, they will soon get the message ;)

but ye, with new players playing pr (call them noobs if you will) still need to get to know the ways of PR, and for that reason alot of players "window shopping" will not understand at first they need to play as a team to win. As time goes on, the new players will leave PR to go back to vbf2, but with any luck like every other release in the past some will stick around who like the features of PR and learn how to play as a squad etc :)

All it needs is time :D

basically what it dose is change the gameplay of BF2 to be much more realistic (you die in 1 shot too the head with any gun is just one of many examples) as well as add lots of new content and adds the British Forces faction.

you can play this mod along side the normal BF2, like any other BF2 mod all you have is 2 different icons on your desktop, to launch BF2 click the BF2 icon, to launch PR click the PR icon.

Ok, have couple questions,
have vista 32 bit OS, will it work on my system, saw the question earlier but know answer??
And from the quote above, looks like i need to copy the BF2 folder and add mod to it, or does it do that auto like ???

and WTH are torrents, and where are they???? sounds like thats the way to go as far as downloading

$kelet0r

07-26-2007, 12:54 PM

BF2 is not supported on Vista - it may or may not run properly
The mod comes with an installer that takes all the hard work out of installing and it will create a unique installation keeping vanilla BF2 'pure' and seperate

And torrents? Welcome to the internets
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent

Rhino

07-26-2007, 02:29 PM

if your normal BF2 works in vista, PR will work on vista. All you need to do is click the installer button after downloading it, and run though the installer like if you where installing a normal game. the installer will do all the work.

torrents are a way of downloading, if you dont know what they are, use a normal direct link, like the one posted on the first page of this news post, here: http://totalbf2.filecloud.com/files/file.php?user_file_id=523490

$keletor & Rhino thanks for the input, I must have been lucky, BF2 and BF2142 work just fine. Thats good news on the "unique installation" i've had to do the whole vanilla copy thing before with Total War games, can be done but my brain does seem to hemorage a little figuring it all out.
Now I just need to psych up and start the monster download, I' sure it will be worth it.
Also thanks for the Torrents tips, figured it was simple. I think...

just clikcked on link
Oh crap ! I've been to that exact page, which one or ones do I need to click on ?????
I feel my hemorage coming back...

07-26-2007, 06:33 PM

On the right just hit begin download, then hit keep waiting until it says download ready ;), my advice is to leave it downloading while you sleep.

ok, used gause, the hemorage has stopped...:D downloading now, anyways,
hey men, read the entire thread, the word "civillians", refering to types of dudes in the game is kinda of a pain, and silly, I'm in the military, the correct term is "COB" aka Civillians On the Battlefield. Might prove to be easier to type when talking about that particular dude type...just a thought.:salute:

Anyways, playin PR, get my *** handed to me right now, still figuring the game out, pretty tough, thats good though. Maps are huge, gotta get vehicles or you'll be running the whole game. Devs, thanks for the game, DL wasn't too bad, 5 1/2 hrs.

OK still getting my *** handed to me, but I'm getting kills and scoring points, which I noticed was different than BF2, anyways, picking up the kits after you request them, WTH, someone in the game said push "G", not so much... how do you pick up the kits?????
