Ragnars Battery Script adds a Bunker Assault Ramp and a rebuildable Backdoor to the map Battery using a ETPro map script.
Acknowledgements go to Dersaidin and mortis for their support.

2. Version
   2007-07-18
   
3. Changes
   • After Allies have built the Beach Assault Ramp for the 5th time it can only be destroyed by dynamite.
   • Bunker Assault Ramp near the North-West MG Nest available (see the command map for location). Allies can build the Bunker Assault Ramp by using the materials inside the bunker.
   • Axis can rebuild the Backdoor. Allies need dynamite to destroy the Backdoor for the first time. For all subsequent attacks also satchels can be used to destroy it.
   • Axis can spawn near the backdoor as long as the Axis command post is up and running (this is different from the ETPro map script where Axis spawn at the command post).
   • The command post and Axis MG nests are already built on map start.
   • The Generator and the Backdoor are decoupled, so the Generator does not open or close the Backdoor - it does only operate the doors near the Gun resp. the door at the bunker front.
   • The MG42 nests in the East Bunker (near the Command Post) are removed.
   • Frontline mod (see http://forum.splatterladder.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=6662&view=findpost&p=45120 for description).
   • The script includes all ETPro map script fixes.
   • The script includes mortis' script fixes for Battery.
4. Compatibility
   The script should work with all mods which support custom map scripts, though it was only tested with ETPro and noquarter. It has been reported also to work with Jaymod. Please leave a message when you run it successfully with other mods.
   
   There is a separate version for noquarter, since noquarter doesn't seem to support the "set" command completely in the way as ETPro does. Simply use the script "battery_noquarter.script", place it into your mapscript directory and rename it to "battery.script". The only disadvantage compared to the default script is that players get the "You are near ..." message when standing near the Bunker Assault Ramp materials, even when they are not visible because the ramp is currently built.
   
5. Old versions
   For older version of the map script check this thread: http://forum.splatterladder.com/index.php?showtopic=6317
   
6. Screenshots
   • The Allied command map on map start:
     
   • The Axis command map on map start, note that the command post and all MG nests are already built and note the Axis spawn flag near the Backdoor (in the lower right):
     
   • The materials to build the Bunker Assault Ramp are located inside the bunker near the North-West MG nest:
     
   • The Bunker Assault Ramp opens a new way into the bunker for Allies. Axis can destroy this ramp with satchel or dynamite:
     
   • Removed all spawns at the command post. Axis can spawn near the Backdoor (as long as their command post is up), Allies spawn at the beach or inside the West Bunker (after the flag is taken). Additionally the East Bunker MG nests are removed.
     Note: Check http://forum.splatterladder.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=6662&view=findpost&p=45120 for Frontline mod description.
     
     
   • The Axis spawn near the Backdoor as long as the Axis command post is up:
     
   • Axis can rebuild the Backdoor. Allies can destroy a rebuilt Backdoor with satchel or dynamite (to destroy it for the first time they still need dynamite):

nice dude that fixes lots of problems ^^

Script auf No Quarter leider nicht funktionsfähig! (Script doesnt work with no quarter mod.)

The server crashes and restart the campaign.

Posted by: *=DCM=*TALON1973 Jul 13 2007, 03:02 PM

works fine with jaymod

Posted by: Ragnar_40k Jul 13 2007, 03:34 PM

Added separate script with a fix for no quarter (see "Compatibility" section for details).

Posted by: Ragnar_40k Jul 15 2007, 08:49 PM

New version 2007-07-15:
- Fixed: Bug with misplaced Axis command map icon for the West MG.
- Fixed: Bug were Axis could spawn at the Backdoor under some circumstances, even when the Axis command post is down.
+Added: The script now includes mortis' script fixes for Battery. This fix adds some (invisible) brushes which block player movements, to prevent players from exploiting a leaning/clipping bug near the Backdoor. In the screenshot below these brushes are made visible:

I wonder if I should add some (4? 6?) forward spawn points for Allies when they have the command Post. Somewhere on the way up the beach, not sure if at position 1 or position 2.

Posted by: NHLfan Jul 16 2007, 07:22 PM

would be great, on position 2

Wuerde auch fuer den 2ten Spawnpoint stimmen aber bitte so fixen das man als Allie erst da spawnt wenn der Axen Cp down is . Ich wuerde auch die Axen den lieber wieder bei den Cp spawnen lassen das man als allie engi wieder die chance hat die backdoor zu sprengen den im moment is es so das wenn man da hinten als engi steht und legt das sie genau hinter einen spawnen

Mfg holger

Zuerst den Command Post zerstören, dann spawnen die Axis auch nicht mehr an der Backdoor und man kann in Ruhe planten. Deswegen ist der Command Post auch von Anfang an gebaut: damit Coverts ihn zerstören können. Beim ETPro-Mapscript z.B. können die Axis den CP einfach nicht bauen, sondern im "underconstruction" Status halten. Der "underconstruction" Status hält 30 Sekunden und Spawnzeit ist auch 30 Sekunden - damit haben Allies kaum eine Chance hinten vorbei zu kommen.

Ich hatte mir gedacht, dass der Allied East Beach Spawnpunkt langsam den Weg hochwandert, je nachdem wie der Fortschritt der Allies ist:
Axis Command Post down = +1 Punkt
Allied Command Post built = +1 Punkt
Backdoor Down = +1 Punkt
Und je mehr Punkte die Allies haben, desto höher "wandert" der Spawnpunkt, aber Axis haben immer noch die Chance alles zurückzuerobern.

Ja das is ja ne schoene sache aber es kommt halt nich immer ein covert mit nach hinten oder is schon vorher down . So und frueher war es halt so das man als engi den hinten planten und den auf die axen da hinten warten konnte das war frueher halt machbar nu nich mehr und da die backdoor sowieso wieder aufbau bar is ( is ja nicht schlecht) muss man die ja sowieso (fast) jedes ma neu bauen

Ich hatte mir gedacht, dass der Allied East Beach Spawnpunkt langsam den Weg hochwandert, je nachdem wie der Fortschritt der Allies ist:
Axis Command Post down = +1 Punkt
Allied Command Post built = +1 Punkt
Backdoor Down = +1 Punkt
Und je mehr Punkte die Allies haben, desto höher "wandert" der Spawnpunkt, aber Axis haben immer noch die Chance alles zurückzuerobern

Jap find ich sehr gut . Gute idee

Mfg Holger

Wenn die Axis hinten spawnen hast du eine bessere Chance am CP zu planten (und auch zu verteidigen), während, wenn die Axis am CP spawnen, das fast nicht möglich ist, weil die Axis dann genau auf dem Dyno spawnen. Und mit der wiederaufbaubaren Backdoor ist es auch immer besser, zuerst den CP zerstören. Wenn die Axis die Backdoor wiederaufbauen, brauchst du beim nächsten mal sowieso einen Covert (der dann auch gleich den CP zerstören kann) - oder du musst selbst wieder an der Backdoor planten. Und die Chance das keiner kommt bevor das Dyno hochgeht und du drinen bist ist eher gering - egal ob die Axis am CP oder and der Backdoor spawnen.

Also: erst CP, dann Backdoor.

any chance of translating any questions on the topic to english please like the work done so far on this. would also love it if the map could be changed slightly to have 2 large dinghy's in the water for snipers

The problem is that the dingy model is not part of vanilla W:ET and therefore the map script would require the server admin to install (and the client to download) an additional .pk3-file with this model.

New version: 2007-07-18
- Fix: Added missing quote in a wm_announce
- Fix: Axis Command Post sound is now enabled on map start
+Add: Frontline mod (see below)

Frontline mod
The Frontline mod enables variable front lines () at the back of Battery. When Allies complete objectives at the back then they spawn closer to the Backdoor, moving the front line closer to the Backdoor. When Axis deny Allies an objective (e.g. by rebuilding the Backdoor), then Allies are pushed back towards the beach.

To make it work the Allied East Spawn flag has been moved up the cliff:

Depending on the total front line point count Allies spawn closer to the flag, pushing the front line closer to the back door.

There are 3 objectives which influence the front line point count:

• Axis command post (when down: Allies get 1 front line point)
• Allied command post (when built: Allies get 1 front line point)
• Backdoor (when down: Allies get 1 front line point)

Here the Allied spawn positions according to their current front line point count:

• 0 points: Allies spawn at the default East Beach spawn.
  
• 1 point: Allies spawn at the bottom of the way up the cliff (4 additional spawn places. When all 4 spawn places are used, then a player automatically uses a lower spawn place).
  
• 2 points: Allies spawn halfway on the way up the cliff (4 additional spawn places. When all 4 spawn places are used, then a player automatically uses a lower spawn place).
  
• 3 points: Allies spawn at the upper end of the way up the cliff (4 additional spawn places. When all 4 spawn places are used, then a player automatically uses a lower spawn place).

Feine Sachen sind das hier.
...und da ich meinen Post nicht löschen kann, obwohl ich die Antwort auf meine Frage gefunden habe,
sag ich einfach nochmal:
Gut gemacht, Ragnar!

Zu Battery sag ich nur das: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_NTx6_CtY5w

Posted by: Ragnar_40k Aug 3 2007, 05:19 PM

Some suggestions for next version:

• Add 4th forward spawn for Allies, when Generator is down.
• Add 1 or 2 sniper positions in the water (I checked the map and some dinghies can be cloned)
• Add special alarm sound for plants at the Gun Controls to distinguish it from other plants.
• Add a dynamitable door at front bunker, so Allies need to capture and hold the flag before getting into the bunker.

Posted by: *=DCM=*TALON1973 Aug 23 2007, 01:33 PM

are you talking about battery with ragnars scripts or are you talking about battery_recharge ?? which is a total makeover that has been done by 2bit from the tibet clan.

i'd actually love to see some of ragnars script incorprated into 2bits map ... the ramp for allies at axis mg and blowable back door/rebuild but maybe thats for anoter day....

glad to hear the dingys are going to make it in ragnar :) hows it comming along anyway ??

Hi Leute,

Ich hab mir da mal das http://forum.splatterladder.com/index.php?showtopic=6662&hl=battery ausm Forum runtergeladen und wollte es auf etmain testen.

Hab dazu ne .pk3 gemacht in der sind ui maps und scripts ordner (.scripts sind im Maps ordner)
Normalerweise lädt er die .scripts alle aber diesmal kommt ne Fehlermeldung sobald er versucht battery zu laden:

Ich finde in dem script aber keine 3040te line ^^ die letzte ist bei mir die 2941te line (nach der 2901 steht nichts mehr).
Hat jemand vielleicht ne Ahnung warum mir die 3040te line angezeigt wird oder was den Fehler beheben könnte??
Kann man das script eigentlich überhaubt auf main benutzen (ohne Adminmod)?

ps. es sind nur standart maps aufm server.

Posted by: Krauersaut Aug 19 2008, 10:15 AM

Das liegt möglicherweise daran, dass es für ETPro ist??

Posted by: Ragnar_40k Aug 19 2008, 10:25 AM

Das Script benutzt Sachen, die erst durch ETPro (und später auch durch andere Mods) eingeführt wurden, z.B. das Hinzufügen oder Klonen von Objekten.

Was ohne spezielle Modunterstützung möglich ist hatte ich hier mal gemacht: http://returntocastlewolfenstein.filefront.com/file/Time_Bonus;19152 (2003 - lang ist's her).
