*DAMN R6 Forum

Do we have a release date for the Black Hawk Down mod or a near release
date.  Ever since i saw the character shots and some of the map shots I
have been anxtiously awaiting its arival(http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/ukliam2.gif).  I hope its a big hit. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/shocked2.gif)

Hi Voodoo,

sorry no new news about the BHD mod but if it comes it will be immediatly converted.

 (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/soon.gif)

I think we should wait till the BHD mod is eleased before making the BL map pack. THe maps in there look very intresting to me.  

I hope the BHD comes out before Ghost Recon has a chance to hit the shelves,
because BHD wont get much play time if it does.

Well i looked all over to find an exact release date from http://www.planetrainbowsix.com/atwar/rs/atwar_mods/bhd/bhd01.asp (http://www.planetrainbowsix.com/atwar/rs/atwar_mods/bhd/bhd01.asp)  but the only place i saw it is on the Damn news but mauti said this weekend =)!

I found it another plcae and they said they were entering the final stage of there beta test!!!

whats the good word Mauti? I would love to be one of the first to get the mod and host it.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/ukliam2.gif)

Hi well I just posted what I read over at ATWARs site however it seems that this mod gets delayed and delayed and delayed (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/so.gif)

Delays delays delays, always delays ?.?  Whelp, once its converted, I know what im going to be doing for a while.  And it will convert me back to my beutiful Mac ^.^  I just hope it plays ok.  That Red Diamond mod totaly slows me down CPU wise :P

Stryker

yah i cant wait till it is converted via mauti

hope it dosnt slow down my comp to much

-SK

It won't slow down your PC! all the RS limitations have been taken into consideration by Lungbutter as far as the maps go, also Peybak has done it again with great looking weapons, low poly models!
As for the mod itself, sorry to keep you all waiting but there has been some little bugs that was noticed right when the mod was ready to be released. Also, now there are total of 5 new maps instead of 2!
When will it be released?   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/soon.gif) very  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/soon.gif)
Cheers  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/beer.gif) and thank you for your support!

did u help make the mod??

-SK

Yes, I did; as much as time allowed me to help out. The major bulk of work was done by Lungbutter, Akira and Peybak tho'!

Its nice to see a member of @war in here keeping us updated, thanks flatliner, any news on the release date yet? All of us are very anxious to see and play this awesome mod, I hope it is released this week sometime......*crosses fingers*

Kilzo

Well, talked to Lungbutter on ICQ a few minutes ago, when I asked him about the release date, he said it better be this f...n' week, hehe!

Damn, that looks SOOOOOOOOOO damn sweet!!!!!!!!! Complete with Helis and Hummers, holy balls! My kudos to Lungbutter, peybak, flatliner and the @war staff for putting this together, and to Mauti the *DAMN leader for the conversion to allow us the opportunity to play it. Thanks to you guys who make this game never end...or grow stale.

Thanks all, hope to see you on the battlefield........Kilzo !a?k*

dude can u drive them hummers +) now that would b cool



-SK

Well, in the begining, the hummers were part of the map...not anymore...the hummers are now .vcl files. So, yes they can move!

one word


Booyah now i can make my team stand over something and wait for them


and just as the car neers i run away

woot

Ahhhhhh how much longer?! it seems like by the time this mod is released everyone will already have ghost recon, maybe even raven shield! Anyway, take this as a compliment @war, the more impatient we get, the better the mod is.  ;D

BHD has been ported by our own Mauti(http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/banana.gif) and I couldnt be any
happier with the layout of the maps and the new weapons(http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/shocked2.gif). I
deffinatley suggest that everyone gets this mod.  

I'd second VooDoo's sugestion that you all get this mod, it's great, one problem that I noticed as I got with Black Thorn Full, one of the maps ( The assassination one on Terrorist Hunt ) won't load up, I click "Start" so start the terrorist hunt, it loads, but when it gets to one of the things that it should be loading for the planning phase, it will just stop loading and force you to force restart, I know I did a poor just of explaining this... But it's kinda hard to explain, anyone else had this problem?

mod is great... one problem with the very last coop level, where you have to escort the wounded rangers... everytime i tried to play that level with friends... the app quits on all of them, but me.

ya, I had the same problem and so did Py. As soon as I would click
on the map I would crash and it would send everyone back to gr. I didnt
know what it was untill I tried to load it the second time and it did the
same thing. I didnt have to reboot though, and I crashed before it had
anytime to load.

I'll look at both problems asap. Btw did you only experience the coop problem in the relating sp mission as well?

 (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/hm.gif) Mauti i have a problem when i try and play SP, i go to the campaign screen and i try and pick "black hawk down". when i do it just quits on me....  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/so.gif) anyone else having this problem?

Snake....try backing up and deleting all Saved Campaigns in your RS/UO/CO/Classic folders (look in the SAVE folders in all the retail campaign folders).

there is a bug in RS (windows version anyway) that causes user modded campaigns to crash if there are existing saved campaigns.

Mauti - I can get lung to reformat the map with the same texture (but shorter name) if you want to fix the texture 'bug'.

sorry, can't help the rest with the missions bug cause it doesnt happen with the pc version.

Akira that would be great - its the BHD4 map: one ceiling texture name is longer than 32signs. About the missions:

The problem the company which ported Rogue Spear for Mac didn't port all viccondition codes so some missions crash. I am working on that a patch should be out tomorrow.

Snake I don't have any problems with the single player campaign and I had already saved games in my save folder but try what Akira wrote.

BTW Akira your BHD5 mission is damn hard: The hostages get killed to fast in my opinion. Even when I stay at the start point after 1min the hostages get killed. That's a little bit unfair however BHD is one of the most addicting mods I ever played.

Regards,

Mauti

Guys, I just have to say, this is possibly the greatest mod made in many many many months!! I love it!! Cool weaps, just not enough sniper rifles. meh, nothing's perfect.

i'll speak to lung

are u playing on elite level? if u are, i'm amazed u can complete any missions at all  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/shocked2.gif)

i cant barly beat the delta training =)

-SK

No just finished the mod on veteran level. The third(catch the 2 advisors) and the 5th mission(have beat it only with teamshadow *shameonme*) were the hardest missions.

Bye,

Mauti

Aieee! I can play the training (although the assassination thing doesn't work?"loads" forever). But when I try to join a BHD game on GameRanger, it says exactly this: "The server is running modifications to the game that your computer does not have installed."

Huh??? I can join a regular RS game, but not a BHD game. All I have in my mods folder is Urban Ops, Classical Missions, and BHD. Argh! I do have some server side maps in my missions folder tho???

just beat it on elite =D

and the problem only occurs when i play MP, not SP

gw Oso - none of the mod makers have ever completed the campaign

if you got replay files of your successful campaign, send it to us to post for all to see..altho i'm not sure if those files need any conversion for windows.

Hehehe, oops. It's because I capitalized the "B" and the "D." Hehehe!

I also play BHD on single player and in the Terrorist Hunt >Assassinate that guy with the name begining with an A< mission it stalls on loading(at "established") after the planning phase. Repeatable every time.

Otherwise a really great(!) addition to RS. Thanks guys!!

Notice in one mission in terrorist hunt that the sleeves of the mountain uniform were missing their texture maps on each team member (sp play) I will try to see of I can duplicate the incident and post here if I am successful.

Here's my stupid little problem...on the mission where you have to escort the 2 wounded soldiers... I can't seem to win. What exactly are the victory conditions? I've got both soldiers, and my teams inside the end point box, but nothing goes.

You also have to kill all militia in this mission.

About the other problems ScottM could you please mail me a screenshot of the problem you are talking about. Thanks.

Bye,

Mauti - the reason why the BHD patch isnt still out is because I want to wait until Lungbutter reexports one map with shorter texture names.

   When I played the rescue the rangers mission (can't remember the mission name), I didn't have an extraction zone to take them to. The only way I was able to win was to proceed to killing all terrorists. That included using the nade launcher and nading the hummer.
 :P
   Another issue I've found is that for some reason on the market map mission in SP, my team had no texture map on them. They were all white. ???
   Also I experience the same problem with the custom mission Assassinate what-his-name hanging at established.

  Aside from these issues, I'd like to thank the team at @War for a great mod.

If you play at elite level you dont have an extraction zone.

About the texture problems I only saw these probs at some mp games but never in sp but I'll try out all camos.

Bye,

Mauti
