As already said, running battlegroup on this server is a bad idea because it takes attention away and its arcade-ish gameplay does not appeal to many in our community (me included) and isn't fit for competitive gaming.

(Mr_J's previous request for BG42 was downvoted by the majority)


However i think we should not shelve this thread yet.
I particular I ike the idea of having BF1918 seperately installed



Why? Because it is a well made mod with unusual setting and its community is unfortunately dead
Also this year marks the hundredth anniversary of the beginning of WW1, a BF1918 event would be the perfect commemoration

Some of the maps for BF1918 would need to be tested, my game has crashed a few times with it. As is right now there are absolutely no servers for it.

I haven't experienced any crashes with BF1918 maps and i doubt there are such problems.
The last version (3.1) was betatested before release.

Be sure to have the right version and all 3 parts installed.

edit: I tested all listed 1914 maps on the dfl server (except for Raid on fort Pontisse and Tabuaeron objective which weren't on the server)
no crashes experienced

I am 100% for having BF1918. It's been four years now and I miss the trenches :heart::heart::heart:

I've uploaded BF1918 to our server now and tested two maps, seems to run fine. I still would like to do a BF1918 event sometime this year.

I love it I love it I love it! We must do this event/mod at least one more time, if it goes well and we have good turnout we can do it again or put it on as a secondary mod. Btw, when I use to try to play on the old BF1918 servers, I could never join because it said I had the wrong version?? I downloaded it from Moddb.com, is there another site that I should be downloading it from? I never had any crashes occur though.

Which version do you have installed? Latest is 3.1. You can check that under the custom game tab.

In my opinion a good date would be late july/early august, the historical start date of the war.

 but we need a nice flyer!

I have version 3.1, could we have a trial on our server so I could see if it works or not for me? Thanks.

I added one BF1918 map to the rotation which allows you to mapvote it for testing.

Yes of course, you can download it from here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/battlefield-1918/downloads

Or here: http://www.bf-games.net/downloads/category/37/battlefield-1918.html

It's three parts.

Amiens, I placed it below "Earned in Blood" which is the least played map I believe.

It appears that someone removed Amiens from map rotation, I was just now looking for it under map vote and its not there.

Battlefield Remote Manager. It's the client side part of BFSM (Battlefield Server Manager) and allows to remotely manage BF1942 server, like changing maps or server properties.

Should work now, I didn't know you have to restart the server after changing the map rotation.

Just thought I'd inform you all that if you download BF1918 from Moddb.com it does work on server version, or at least it does for me, thank you Eye for providing "Amiens" for me to test it out on. smile

OK, just because this thread hasn't received any attention over the past few days, what are the chances we can do a bf1918 event for the 100th anniversary in late July/August, could we possibly even make a tournament out of it? Just as a kind of sentimental thing, remembrance.

We should have a BF1918 event on the 26-27th of July as the war officially began on the 28th. Is anybody interested?
