I've been playing this awesome mod since a few months now. I've completely abandoned vanilla and PR, and I can't even appreciate FH2 with this mod :p

but now... wth ? no more servers ?
Each time I refresh my list , there's only one or two server with no more than 20 or 25 players ?
I just wanted to play but the most populated server had like 6 ppl...

what's wrong?
There's a patch coming I hear ? Will this revive the mod ? It would be a shame if it dies :(

Well, I never really played AIX in single player... I always played online with other nice ppl :) but now, no more servers... :(

i installed AIX yesterday. it is the best thing EVER!!!!!!!!!!
its kind of dark alot of the time, well all of the time. am i doing something wrong?

Hum... dark? There are 3 night maps I think, Wake, Dragon Moon and Urban Jungle, but the other, I can see normally... what do you mean by dark ?

Oh and just did it, voted AIX for the Top 100 Mod of the Year :D

I thought AIX was an SP modyes it is (mainly)

even after the last multiplayer server gets shut down, AIX will still be useful :)

its kind of dark alot of the time, well all of the time. am i doing something wrong?yeah sorry to say, you must be. there's four maps with varying levels of night-time-ness(?!) about them (Archipelagos, Daqing Dawn, Dragon Valley Moon, Wake Twilight) but the rest should be easily visible. it might pay to test your monitor settings against a grey-scale chart, and make sure you're seeing the full range of shades. with a correctly set monitor even our darkest map, Dragon Valley Moon, should give you just enough light to see by without assistance.

(my vehicle of choice in DV-Moon is a Harrier. i've had one other player with a similar issue to yours, tell me the map is completely pitch black - in which case i would be bouncing off the ground every 2 seconds. i assure you i do not. on a correctly set monitor enemy soldiers are silhouetted but still quite visible, and the map is easily navigable in an aircraft)

edit: sorry Mayflower, we must have posted at the same time

I also love this mod and enjoy SP, but MP is where the action is. I wish more folks would install and fall in love with AIX, too.

It would be a shame if it dies :(

I wouldn't count on it.... I do wish more people would play though. But as great as a mod as it is (because it was meant to be an SP mod) more people probably spend time playing Singleplayer because the bots are amazing and provide a fun gameplay experience that no other mods have. Besides, the new patch should be coming "soon" I hear... :nod:

The advantage I think AIX has, is that the bots are good. That means Co-Op games are good too...

I'd rather play with a few humans mixed-in vs just the bots. No matter how good the bots are, they don't think like a human.

true, but they don't TK you just to pinch your jet, either. i'll usually play SP with the enemy having a 2:1 numerical advantage, which means the bots' stupidity is counterbalanced somewhat.

if i play with humans, i find closed-circle or LAN co-op games are the best; everyone knows each other so the a-hole factor isn't an issue because no-one has anything to prove. bots fill up all the empty slots, and makes for a good fun game

Really ?
I didnt see any difference between AIX bots and vanilla bots... as far as I know they still walk straight toward you with a pistol or running after you with knife and paddles.

Hope the new "coming soon" patch will revive some new servers :)

and btw, Clivewil, siick plane in your sig, I would love to see it in action :P

That's exactly how AIX is meant to be played and that's why I love it so much! AIX is absolutely amazing. I wish that you could created ranked co-op servers but that'll never happen.

I love the LAN co-op games and that's basically what I'm talking about. I like to play with a mix of humans and bots... There are very few of these available, so I just play SP when my local AIX server (BandOfBrothers) is empty.

I love the Notar Littlebird helos on AIX Refinery! I can spend hours just flying that around.

not quite - this one actually exists, but only as a single prototype. it's a Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut (working designation S-37) and is sort of a cross between an Su-27 and an X-29. with AIX having no Russian team, i gave it to the Chinese instead.

Nah AIX is too overpowerd for MP...its SP mainly which is a good thing cus even the bots manage to shoot me down when im in the A-10....god the Roar of that cannon shooting all 1350 of my Depleted uranium bullets...is orgasmic

yeh its just too overpowerd for MP...have a USMC whos a good pilot/jet whore get in the A-10...and the game is over basicly.

GamingSA (http://bf2stats.gamingsa.com/servers/) has a South Australian AIX server running, i've always had a decent ping from that (i'm in Perth WA)

the more players they see using it, the longer they're likely to keep it running, so by all means jump on and have a game :)

I know this is kind of an old thread but if you like to play AIX with the bots we are running a 32 player AIX bot server with a few custom tweaks.

Right now the server is running all of the air maps and if you talk to anyone that players there it can be great fun with or without a few humans mixed in.

I set the server up about 2- months ago for my personal use and for the most part I am the only one from our clan that plays on it, so it's not over run with clan members or bossy admins... ;)

If you enjoy the AIX mod and can't find a server that has other live players for you to own, try owing some bot's, it's a great way to relieve stress... :nod:

true, but they don't TK you just to pinch your jet, either

:laugh:Thats true, the bots just take an aircraft(apache, trans. helos, etc.) and refuse to pick you up, instead.:rolleyes: OR, if you start to gun in a transport car they switch to the driver seat and just start driving away.
Although you can't blame them too much, they do it out of stupidity. But I blame them any way and proceed to TK them for it or tell them to 'get out'

**Helpful tip**
If FF is off one of the most effective ways of killing your teammates(bots) is with the Special Forces RED flare grenade--it kills anything-- please don't ever change this devs.!!

Yea that's true but we have enough planes & choppers spawning to go around, so if a bot takes the one you’re after wait 5 seconds and there will be another all gassed up armed and waiting to go.... :cool:

clivewil
04-15-2008, 12:30 AM
well we're still finishing off a couple of new toys for 1.1 - Ky has been going nutso building several hand weapons, i'm most of the way through a new attack heli for the UN, DR has been plugging away on another map which is nearly ready to go. we recently scored another dev, Chad509 our new animator, who has been going through the hand weapons and making custom anims for many of them

several weeks ago we had a couple of hardware problems which set us back a little unfortunately, and we - i say we but mean i - wasted a fair bit of time chasing my tail trying to fix a couple of issues which are problems within the game engine itself, and haven't yet found a workaround :(

in a nutshell, we haven't stopped working on it and as soon as it's ready to go we'll let you know. sorry for the wait guys!

Good to see that some of the folks here take advantage of the server and enjoy playing the AIX mod also. Those of you that play on the server let me know what I can do to improve it and keep it fun...:D

@ Mitch

I enjoy the Air maps (A WHOLE LOT) but I really like some of those ground pounder maps, too.

Eagles Nest, Iwo Jima, Phillipines, Processing Plant, Karkand Stormfront, etc.

Also, one of my favorite activities is to do some sniping on The Push Day.

Deflex
04-16-2008, 10:52 PM
Dude, I like love all the types of maps except for sniping on the Push Day. Don't get me wrong, I love sniping, but that would have to be my least favorite map. :dead: It's too hazy and there's always a glare. It's hard to get a clear shot most of the time and after a while it causes a minor headache.

Just some constructive feedback there... ;)

SonicPixel
04-16-2008, 11:31 PM
"To each their own" might fit this situation.

Sniping on Push is one of my favorite things to do and I haven't had any issues with identifying and eliminating targets.

Perhaps being a rookie sniper has something to do with it. I normally play as Engineer or Medic in most games, so I rarely ever play as a sniper. Except for Push...

Deflex
04-16-2008, 11:37 PM
Well, I see your point and I wasn't trying to be unconstructive or anything, but that was my opinion when I first played that map and I haven't played it since.

Heck! I haven't even played AIX for several months! :hmm:

(sorry guys - I didn't really like it ;)) But I'm glad to hear that others do! :D

I hate to change something that works, however since I am sitting on a quad core box with 4GB of ram I can always set up another AIX bot server that is running ground pounder maps.

If you or any of the others that play AIX would like to see a server for these maps let me know and I will have one up in 5 or 10 minutes...

I completely understand not changing what is working well. I went that route already when my clan decided to change GSPs and we went from the Top 20 2142 server to the bottom. Sigh. I learned a lot from that.

So, I'd love to see you start up a different server just for some ground pounding action! I'll move between the two as the whim strikes me. Shoot, I might have to start contributing... Sheesh, I play almost daily on your server for at least an hour.

Thanks for taking my idea into consideration. Perhaps ST1_MikeMack and I might stop in to christen your new server tonight?

Sounds good, I will get a server setup for it tonight. Once it is ready I will post the IP and info here.

Since you play on the server fairly often and for the most part our clan members don't if you want admin to either of them that is fine with me.

I did the same thing with DCON when it was popular and it seemed to work out ok so I don't have any issues with doing it the same way with AIX.

It took me a little more than 5 or 10 minutes but here it is, just the way you ordered it... ;)

The server is not showing up in Game Monitor yet so for the time being I used a Game Tracker image.

The server IP & port is 72.37.228.44:16567

I was on the server tonight with a few other players and it was a blast, however I do need to make a few minor adjustments.

Not sure why Sonic suggested Iowa Jima because there are quite a few aircraft and choppers in that map so I may modify it and put it on our AIX air maps server.

If anyone has a suggestion for another ground pounder map, please let me know.

SonicPixel
04-18-2008, 02:09 PM
There are some of those maps which have aircraft, but I slug it out on the ground.

IMO, it would be cool to run maps like Refinery without the Littlebird (I'll deny it if you quote me on this!) so that the fight could be on the ground. Iwo Jima can be a blast fighting for each CP.

Mitch, thanks for doing this. The server was busy last night and it was a blast

If you might adjust the bot ratio so that there's a ton of bots on the other side, that's be fantastic. That way it's not too easy!

It's been kinda driving me crazy that the first thing the human players do is take out the enemy main base. It shortens the game like crazy when that happens. I was yelling at them last night before I finally just changed to the "other" server. lol

I left Iwo Jima in the rotation and I am modifying it so it can be added to our AIX Air Maps server with the increased vehicle spawns. I also added the Refinery map to the rotation just so I could own some bot's with the Littlebird.....:D

As you requested I changed the bot ration so that one team has 10 more bots than the other. I also increased their AI level to 75 and I increased the ticket count by 100 so the maps will run longer.

Next time you’re on let me know what you think. Also, by the way, your welcome.....:cool:

Mr. Sonic sent me a PM with some additional map suggestions for the AIX Ground Map's server we are hosting. I added the maps he suggested to the ground maps server and have included a complete list of all the maps in the rotation below

Since I have not played all of the maps listed, if you think any of them should be moved to the air maps server, please let me know.

I also removed the Iowa Jima map and will be adding it to our AIX Air Maps server once I am done modifying a few server side items for it

Sonic also suggested a map called Red Dawn from BFSP for our air maps server, if someone can provide me with a download link for this map, I will add it to the server.

If you play AIX please stop by either server and let us know what you think....;)

AIX is not dying we are in there nightly on our server. 69.65.11.219 We are sick of the BF2 stock but have to keep the two ranked servers up for the clan. We have 35 or so who still go for the ranks , but we also have about 50 of us who love aix. Hoping to have AIX abr ranked soon.

Sonic also suggested a map called Red Dawn
red dawn is included in one of headhunter's aix map packs - not sure which one, there were three - but it is VERY full-on; a bit too much for my taste. i think there's probably upwards of 15 aircraft in the air at any given time, i would rather wimp out and settle for 10 or less. some players love it though.

aix dying? i can assure you we're all still (cough) very much (splutter) alive... (wheeze)

You know I added the Red Dawn map to the rotation because it sounded pretty cool the way Sonic described it but the first time it loaded we got booted from the server and some even CTD so I took it out for now.

No sure what the problem is, only that there is one. I can tweak certain things to customize the maps for our server without affecting the client side but I am by no means a modder so the Red Dawn map issue may require someone with much more talent than I have to figure out the problem.

If anyone has any suggestions, please do not hesitate to share them with me... ;)

We have the 2- AIX bot servers up because there never seems to be enough live players on a server at any given time to get a decent game going.

The way I figure it is at least with the bots you can still have fun playing the mod and if other live players wish to join, all the better.

I will have to stop by and check out your server when I can get some time to actually play.

Also, I noticed in your profile that you are 53, how come it's only us older folks that can appreciate playing this mod....:D

SonicPixel
04-23-2008, 07:05 PM
I'm sorry to hear the Red Dawn map didn't work out. I play it in AI-X Single Player all the time and was thinking it would be fun to actually fly against humans on that map.

Oh, well. There's enough Battlefield goodness going on without one little map!

That's a good observation that there are a lot of us who are older who really like the AI-X mod a lot. I wonder why that is?

I know that flying around providing air support is relaxing in this game. If I want to crank-up the action, I take it down to the ground or go completely Rambo in the Notar Littlebird!

Shoot, I'm ready to head home for some fraggin, but the day isn't even half over! Argh!!!


EDIT: Janitor, I might have directed you to the wrong Red Dawn map! Did you use the one from the BFSP page I sent you to? If so, that's why the crash. You need to use the version from AIX Map Pack 3.... I'm sorry for the confusion.

I'm sorry to hear the Red Dawn map didn't work out. I play it in AI-X Single Player all the time and was thinking it would be fun to actually fly against humans on that map.

Oh, well. There's enough Battlefield goodness going on without one little map!

That would explain it, I will try adding the one from the AIX map pack as soon as I get some :D

No big deal, I am just happy that folks are showing an interest.

I just installed the Red Dawn map from map pack 3 and there are a few folks on playing it so it must be fine.

I still have to modify this map like the other on the server but I should have that done later tonight.. :cool:

Good to see that some of the folks here take advantage of the server and enjoy playing the AIX mod also. Those of you that play on the server let me know what I can do to improve it and keep it fun...:D

Keep it coming guys, long live AIX....... :salute:

YO MITCH!

Please oh Please turn up the QUALITY SETTINGS on your DEMO recording.
I have been an admin of several BLKOPS servers (in the past..all down now).
Setting of THREE (03) renders non-choppy video AND is nice on the bandwidth. Please consider moving that quality setting off of negative 10 :D..I mean 1.0. Demo Quality of 3 is a very nice version of give and take.


Examples of quality? SURE!

Here are BFDEMO SERVER settings at ONE:
Demo Quality = 1 (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1809365493664779828&q=bf2blackops.com&ei=lR4RSJyvM4aIqgOT8N3RBA)


Here are BFDEMO SERVER settings at THREE:
Demo Quality = 3 (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3699082069529908749&q=bf2blackops.com+gulf+of+oman&ei=UB8RSIPzI6T-qQOGn5XNBA)

Sorry for the overused tune in the second vid. I liked it..and it fit. So, byte me :)

Speaking of MAP PACKS...

Our Aussie / Kiwi brothers have done a sick, sick job of providing content.

There are other maps out there to boost the challenge and variety levels off the map.

Please have a look at TheDarkMaps.

Good Christ, they're fun. Not much in the way of air vehicles, but all new maps with new strats / options / goodness.

I would love to host those other maps if you folks want me to but keep in mind I have a clan and 8 other server to tend to so if you could provide me with info on where I can get the maps I would be happy to add them to the rotation.

Tell you guys what, if there are any folks that play either AIX or NAW and have experience managing BF2 servers or light modding skills, I would love to have some help with the server.

I don't have time to teach people this stuff and to be honest I am not expert with tweaking the mods myself, however if you know what you are doing and are interested in helping me out, just let me know.

PS. No you do not have to join the clan to help out...;)

Sonic,

I am guessing you are on the forums now so if you get this hop on the server real quick and I will set you up with in game admin for both if you want... :cool:

I am logged in to BF2cc now so I will see you join. Also if you know how to do some light moding let me know and we can talk about that as well.

I posted over at CKW. I also posted on my forums for the guys to read. They'll need a couple of days to read it.

I have not modded BF2 much, but I have done a little modding of AIX spawns for singleplayer. I needed some more Littlebirds when I first started playing because I crashed all the time...

I'm happy to report that's not much of a problem anymore!

Sonic,

I set you up with in game admin tonight while you were on the server, so when you get a chance test it out and let me know if it works ok. If you know how to mod vehicle spawns that is what I am looking for with the AIX servers for now.

The way it is now, I simply don't have enough time to work on them as much as I would like to because I am currently tied up the clans expansion in to console & RTS gaming not to mention I am redoing the website and designing a custom theme for the forums.

I truly appreciate all the time and effort you are putting in to this and I am glad you enjoy the server.

Anyway we need to try to hook up on our TS server so we can discuss this further and get you set up.

I might be able to help you out with your web stuff. I'm a senior web designer for a major media outlet, so if you need any assistance with your site and forums, I can lend a hand.

Please don't go spreading that around though, I tend to get volunteered for a lot of things I didn't sign up for ... lol

Sounds good, I am kind of taking the weekend off from gaming but if we could hook up sometime next week that would be great...:cool:
