Previous SSM thread: Old SSM thread
For everybody:
Please feel free to post suggestions for server side modding.
For modders: Please explicitly post the intended changes in this thread before applying them.

New policies in place: To prevent miscommunication, misunderstandings, doing changes without listing them in this thread, delays in implementation, etc., Marduk will only collect and post the SSM requests and suggestions. I will then work with E3 and Radio in order to implement them correctly and in some defined time frame that would not span months.
It would be ideal if we could gather more SSM modders than Radio and E3, anyone up for this task, please check: SSM Modding Documentation

Current SSM modders:
  •  Radiosmersh (Currently on vacation)
  •  E-3

    @Radio or E3: We need to fix Konstantinovsk:
    - Russian main base needs to have 4x T-34s
    - Axis main base needs to have 4x Pnz.IV F2 (long barrel)

    Please let me know the date when this could be done.

    Where exactly did you want me to spawn those t34 and Panzer 4 tanks ? in main base  or ?
    There will be two problems I think but I cannot be certain.

    1 the tanks are not already present on the map so they will have to spawn as a new object from a server side mod this then can create a disconnect bug like on the Alaska map which we still have to test btw.

    2 is there even a Hungarian skin available for the Panzer 4 tanks in the default fhsw texture directory ?
    If not then those Panzer 4 tanks will look out of place with the environment.

    and I also play cnc generals.

    Yep, in the main base if possible.

    Makes sense, however Radio was able to add 2 tanks to allied main and 1 to Axis, so I assume it should be ok.

    I guess no. Maybe we could use default one? Which one did Radio use?

    How many players do we need? We could test it together with Konsta on 1st August?

    On this map it could replace the Go-229, because the map is pretty narrow, and Go-229 doesn't turn well. In FHSW Fw190 doesn't turn very tightly compared to other fighters, but it's still better than Go-229. In my opinion Fw190 D-9 would fit even better on Seelow Heights, Operation Springawakening, replacing other fighters with roughly similar armament (I mean don't replace a plane with bombs/rockets with a cannons-only fighter). Since it doesn't change balance I think no one would oppose it.

    Right now your best bet is to learn how to create SSMs (I think it's a simpler skill than creating a new vehicle). Popose/discuss SSM, create it, have it tested quickly and I think they'll be happy to apply it to the server thumbup

    Just use the grey (german) one, that's the one Radio used as well.

    Eastern Blitz 1939

    Can we increase the capping time of every flag to 15 seconds.

    German have advantage on the push map and polish side lose the map so fast that they cannot setup any kind of defend.

    On flag 5 germans get change to cap that flag back so fast that polish reinforcements don't even get there to hold it.

    these are my proofs of increasing the time on flag capping.


    Hates too quick judgement.

    The short capping time is also good for Allieds when they recap. When the map gets restarted and the blue team has enough time to organise their defense the current capping time has never been a problem.

    Update as of 9th Aug:
    - Testing of Konstantinovsk done. 4x T-34s and 4x Pnz4 spawn correctly (first, 2 pieces spawn, when taken another 2 spawn in after 50s to reduce load on map)
    - Testing of Alaska done. AMX50 spawns without issues and is locked inside a death-trap.

    Next steps:
    - Konstantinovsk:
    - Team lock the tanks
    - Rotate the planes on the runway to correct direction

    - Alaska
    - Remove the railgun to prevent crash
    - Add another AMX50 in the death bubble (map will have 2x AMX50 in total)

    - Appenines balancing (as per Appeninnes problem)
    - Replace fighter planes with less maneuverable models to balance
    - Add mobile AA vehicles for US team: 1x T77 MGMC AA, 1x M16 mgmc

    I even believe the allies need to have 3 amx 50 tanks because rafal when the Russians take control of everything they have access to hell of a lot of stuff.
    2 OTIS4,
    1 IS3_D-30,
    1 ISU130,
    1 IS4proto122
    2 regular IS3 tanks.
    So you can see they have access to quite a bit of heavy equipment, unless you want to see the allies getting slaughtered ?
    the only way to counter that type of stuff = with firepower and armor.

    Update on the Alaska map I finally figured it out what was causin players to still disconnect.
    When the Russians capture the mountain Valley flag with the default map settings a pick up B29 kit spawns into allied main base and this is causing people to disconnect.
    I don't know if this kit is bugged like the Japanese Railgun is on the map I will have to test this. 
    so I moved the kit into the death bubble and spawned it in the beginning and this will only be released when allies lose all flags.

    This map is such a mess of issues that I sadly already had to remove so much stuff on this map in order to stop the disconnect issue.
    here's the list of stuff I removed.

    2 light tanks from allied main base.

    3 mortar placements.

    1 Pershing tank.

    1 t24 ? don't exactly know which model.

    Most of the stuff I removed was already useless against the is3 or is4 tanks.
    But my ultimate goal was to give allies a chance to escape the Slaughter and so I spawn 2 amx 50 and 1 arl 44 into the death bubble allies can only get this when they lost every flag.

    Regarding Midway-42/Breakthrough map issues:
    The SSMs had to be removed from the following maps for current FHSW version (0.611).
        - Midway-1942
        - Breakthrough
        - Westminster 1942    
        - Berlin 1945

    Rafal mentioned Savoy's loading screen on Midway-42, which is apparently fixable by Eye's lexiconall.dat file. With Troll we are testing this, will report here whether it works or not.
