BOSWAR testing (tonight) 21:00 CET

[=69.GIAP=STENKA69GIAP]

For those of you that are following the development of the online campaign manager for Stalingrad we move one step fowards tonight.

 

While we wait for Stalingrad to be ready we are running the software with Rise Of Flight.

 

We have set up a test campaign based on Cambrai 1917 in order to test what will happen with significant ammounts of moving ground units.

 

The template was set up by LvA Biggles and I have just generated the test mission using BOSWAR. There are 50+ tanks charging across the frontline against heavy artillery defenses so we will see what that does to in-flight performance.

 

As it's a test mission guests are free to join. Lineup at 21:00 CET, start engines at 21:30 password git.

 

Those of you that are used to flying campaigns with and against 69.GIAP will know our teamspeak.

 

If performance is strained there may be a restart with less tanks - remember it's a test mission.

 

Now I know this is using Rise of Flight not Stalingrad but the mission structure is very similar, performance will not be identical but will give us a good idea of what can be achieved.

 

That's the first piece of good news. Now from what I have seen in my e-mail inbox, we have received some help which means we can start converting the BOSWAR software to generate Battle of Stalingrad mission files tomorrow.

 

Of course this does not mean user based missions before general release - it mearly means we can start converting our software - but it does mean that we should have multi-user campaigns running on day one of general release.

This sounds very interesting. Hope I get the chance to pop in with a bomb laden Camel.

Good luck with the test Stenka!

_{GL with the testing!}

[312_strycekFido]

Good Luck, i would join, but i don't have RoF installed now. Would you mind posting results of your test?

[=69.GIAP=STENKA69GIAP]

Test ran OK, with server based in Switzerland it ran smooth for me in Europe and for Tushka in USA. Some players reported occasional warping but that may be their connection.

 

There were around 60 tanks moving plus other assorted vehicles. Next week we will double the number of tanks and see what happens. 

 

Here is stats analysis for those that are interested.

Awesome. Can only become better with the newer software (BOS) eh? I think we can brace ourselves for some awesome online WWIIars:)

Thanks for your effort. Looking forward to participate!

[Matt]

I'll try to participate next time. Sounds interesting. Even if i'll probably just crash on take-off (i did not launch RoF since January i think  ).

[4S_Nero]

Great.

[SYN_Per]

Rather good news then Stenka!

[=69.GIAP=STENKA69GIAP]

Yes it looks good,il2 1946 was not happy wth 100s of tanks so we are not outside of the box, I am working on the conversion of the Rise of Flight Mission/group files to Battle fo Stalingrad and after one day, most is done.

You have to remember that pareto works both ways so doing the last 20% of the changes will take 80% of the time, but this is a matter of days, not months.

 

Looking GOOD

Nice news ; keep going please

[=69.GIAP=STENKA69GIAP]

Just an update. Monday's testing session blew out after a server hardware crash but I have got to the bottom of why we were not getting artillery kill tanks during  testing.

 

It seems that the artillery sulks and goes on strike if we do not not add attack areas. So I am now adding attack areas around all stationary vehicles again activated and then switched off by timers to reduce CPU load.

 

Testing confirms all these base concepts apply to BOS although we are prime testing in ROF at this moment.

 

Conversion of code from ROF to BOS is advancing.

 

Tushka has set up base co-ordinate data for Lapino and Stalingrad maps, located some new features in the stats parsing to deal with.

Myata is building new user interface graphics colour coded to BOS rather than ROF.

I am adding the new features to the group files that are sent to the editor, then must transpose coalitions and countries from RoF to BoS.

 

After which we have a big round of regression testing to see that we haven't broken the RoF version and then can finally start testing the interface between BOSWAR and Stalingrad.

[Toxin1]

We Salute your efforts! Thank you for all the hard work.

fantastic!!!   can't wait for this.

I would also be interested how far a mission can handle other static objects. 

 

Ground targets are nice but only with "decoration" and this not too litte a map and mission can spring to life. 

 

For IL2 1946 we have built maps with hundreds of objects (not all targets) and I think it is important to have similar capacity - at least approaching.

I'm not quite sure what you mean.

 

Effectively we have a map surface in 3D with textures including trees. After that every object like a house, piece of fence, signpost is an object. Some objects are composite to aid fast mission building like a section of village. You can also group objects together for convenience in moving and copying. Most of these objects have damage models (perhaps all, I've not checked).

 

Every object can be left to be neutral or you can 'enable' it by affecting to to a country, in which case it becomes a stats worthy target.

 

After that you have complex objects capable of interacting with players like planes, vehicles, trains, boats, baloons.

 

Then you have effects and triggers. To give you an idea of the power we are dealing with I can light a fire in the fireplace in a house and make smoke come out of the chimney when and if a friendly plane flies within 3000 metres of the house.

 

I have used the old IL2 FMB for around 10 years and this ROF/BOS mission editor is factorial 2 more powerful. A mission file often contains thousands of manipulable objects not hundreds. However that means you need skillful mission building otherwise you can build an unflyable mission (exactly as happened often using 1946).

 

Here I have been talking about the base technology we are using, but the key behind BOSWAR is that we automate the sequential mission building of a campaign so that you are manipulating groups of objects as simple counters on the map, dragging around a few waypoints then BOSWAR generates an optimised mission with all of the triggers timers and links set up for you.

[AbortedMan]

I feel like this should be in the actual game itself...it seems like what you're describing here is exactly what all the people responding to Loft's statements hated about the desciption of the planned SP campaign. If this can be used in SP with an externally run UI in real time SP mission after successive SP mission, then I imagine it would satisfy the lack of a consistent campaign in the base game...and make a lot of people very very happy.

Single player campaign is not my problem, I don't fly them, however in ROF Pat Wilson built his campaign generator which is far better than anything I've seen in IL2 on that subject. The architecture of ROF/Bos lets you do it. If that's what you want carry on... google PWCG

I mean objects that can be placed by users lile airfield objects (barrels, camouflage nets, boxes, ladders, ....), tents, sand bags, fences, walls, harbour elements (if we get maps with the sea), stuff like that. Not things that already come with the map but that allow people to be creative on top of what comes with the map. 

 

If RoF can handle 100s of these objects alongside loads of (moving) ground targets that I am fine.

Edited June 5, 2014 by sturmkraehe

[=69.GIAP=STENKA69GIAP]

From my experiece I use hundeds+ of such objects, but we do use hex i7 server on a commercial data line.

 

Even if you don't have that power, What I can say is that, with experience ROF/BOS is more stable when you are pushing the limits.

 

IL2 would have no hesitation about dumping 50 payers in disconect in seow missions.

Thought I'd bump this thread to ask how BOSWAR development is progressing?

[deleted@31403]

Is this your developing something similar to SEOW in IL2 1946? This could be huge for the squad online community.

[6./ZG26_Gielow]

Are we going to have big bombers this time???

Thats exactly what I'm hoping for BoS. I would love to have a software like PWCG but for BoS. One question though: the software that you are doing, is it in english ?

 

Anyways, thanks for all you efforts!
