    Copey got a reaction from D34TH in Problem with modules and AWE mod pack.   
    Couple of things you can do:
     
    Check your ace files against the repo, you might find an error. If not, delete your ace folder and re -download.
     
    Force a Battleye update (this works most of the time)
     
    The error its showing is just telling you Battleye is blocking the ace file from loading, so by either updating the file or updating it, you should fix it

    Hello @JJ Cakes,
     
    U're a fine player but the admins would advise U to practise more in Editor. Just respawn and assets will despawn if no players > 500m. Dun worry.

    A3sync is one of the only programs I know of where a brute force approach works. Keep trying and it'll whittle down the errors eventually, unless there's an issue on the repo side. Those I can't comment on.

    Yeah often you'll find that staff use Zeus to 'spice up' a gauntlet mission for players, this might mean there are secondary objectives, more hostiles or even enemy air support. It can get very fun and interesting.

    Copey reacted to Chuck in Important changes announced!   
    Hello AWE players,
     
    In the background we have been busy milling away, trying to brainstorm ideas to shape the future of AWE into something that's refined and easy to play. Someone suggested an idea. We've all had internal votes on the idea and we believe its going to revolutionise the way we play AWE.
     
    The change is that we would like to change AWE into a FULL MIL SIM server. This change may take time to edit the mission files ect but we should get it done by the end of today. As an added bonus we are only allowing donators to join for the first weeks off testing.
     
    Hope you guys can support us in our endeavours.

    Copey got a reaction from Johnson in How to: MOD and Map Requests   
    This sub-forum of AWE is to be used specifically for requesting new modifications (MODs) or Maps. Please do not post them into the general area, as they will either be moved into here, or removed. The aim of putting them all in one place is so that it is easier for you, and us, to see what has been requested, and where in the process of discussing it we are with them.
     
    There are going to be some very simple rules to follow when making a request.
     
    1.     Name the MOD or MAP
    2.     Describe what it does, or how you see it working
    3.     Provide a Steam-link or Bi-Thread to the request (if available or applicable)
    4.     Concisely tell us why you think it will improve the server, or player experience, by implementing it
     
    These are the 4 categories you need to cover when posting a request.
     
    After initially posting a request form it will be looked over by one of us in the steering committee, and if we feel it is worthy of community wide discussion, it will be approved for public consultation. Following this your request will have a 2 week period to be responded to by the community. This may mean that requests are either denied, or approved, without community discussion.
    Depending on what is said by the community, moderators and steering committee, a decision will be made as to whether or not this request will be fulfilled.
     
    When responding to a request during the 2 week phase, please keep posts concise, on topic with a clear yes, no or maybe at the end of it. OR, you can add reputation to the original request. Staff can reply at any time during the process.
     
    Please fill out this form to submit a mod/map request:
    https://forums.ahoyworld.net/forms/16-mod-map-request-form/
     
    We reserve the right to change this process without notice, and to deny requests, with reason, as appropriate.

    Copey reacted to S0zi0p4th in A call to arms - Donation round for new servers   
    Ahoyworld is calling all of you to arms to fight a common enemy called 'Hardware ageing' !!
     
     
     
    Our Current Situation
     
    At Ahoyworld we are currently running flagship server on:
     
    Intel Core i7-3930k Hexa Core
    64 GB DDR3 RAM
    2x 3 TB SATA III HD
     
    Which Covers:
    EU#1 EU#2 EU#4 EU#5 and TeamSpeak.
     
    Now while this might have been top of the line back in the days this is slowly getting dated, soon we will not be able to keep this running for much longer, not without having to cut back on the amount of available game servers, Thus risk losing slot capacity or cutting the number of supported games. This is the reverse world, as since AW is growing we are actually looking to expand the amount of fun on our server, not cut back on them.
     
    Over the past 3 years the AW landscape has changed, the membership has grown significantly, and the requirements for gaming servers has also gone up. Not only up, we also see that the shift to high capacity servers is still growing as expected.
     
    As a side note we also own:
    Valiant Server
    AWE EU#6 and EU#9
     
    Intel® Core™ i7-6700 Quad-Core Skylake (incl. Hyper-Threading Technology)
    RAM: 32 GB DDR4 RAM
    Hard Drive: 2 x 250 GB SATA 6 Gb/s SSD (Software-RAID 1)
    Connection: 1 Gbit/s-Port Guaranteed Bandwidth: 1 Gbit/s
    Traffic: 30 TB
     
     
    What We Are Planning
    We can already say that this will have a big impact on how we will do our server-planning from now on. The way things look now we will move away from Flagships massive server and for the same amount of money we will rent several smaller units instead:
     
    Intel® Core™ i7-6700 Quad-Core Skylake (incl. Hyper-Threading Technology)
    RAM: 64 GB DDR4 RAM
    Hard Drive: 2 x 250 GB SATA 6 Gb/s SSD (Software-RAID 1)
    Connection: 1 Gbit/s-Port Guaranteed Bandwidth: 1 Gbit/s
    Traffic: 30 TB
     
     
    Intel® Core™ i7-6700 Quad-Core Skylake (incl. Hyper-Threading Technology)
    RAM: 32 GB DDR4 RAM
    Hard Drive: 2 x 250 GB SATA 6 Gb/s SSD (Software-RAID 1)
    Connection: 1 Gbit/s-Port Guaranteed Bandwidth: 1 Gbit/s
    Traffic: 30 TB
     
    This is what we Plan to do
    TS   -Flag 1
    EU1 - Flag 1
    EU2 - New Server
    EU3 - Valiant
    EU4 - Flag 1
    EU5 - New Server
    EU6 - Valiant
    EU9 -Valiant

    For those of you that know a little about computer hardware you will notice 2 things:
    1 - This is not the professional server hardware like Xeon, Hexacore, dual CPU, etc..
    2 - Though less cores these little servers have higher CPU frequency and are actually close to the same power as our current older machines.
     
    Explain 1:
    Not running Xeon-awesome-super-duper-mastermind-takeovertheworld server hardware reduces the cost by...well A LOT  so we can have more for the same price. Allowing us to obtain our own Windows consumer-end licences, instead of the overpriced big-boy Server 2012 stuff.
     
    Explain 2:
    Moving away from a single-point-of-failure setup, to a way more flexible and scalable situation where we can get more servers up and running quickly and at a low cost. and in addition make better use of the available power. As you might know most of the software is not built to run on multi-core cpu's or even multi chip setups, leaving a lot of the power unused. With multiple smaller servers, we will be able to for example run a dedicated EU# machine with more players, or heavier maps and smoother AI and add any other additional servers with who knows how many slots. 
     
    Now What Can You Do?
     
    Basically I will not avoid the obvious topic here: These things cost money, and we need that from YOU !
     
    Though the price eventually will be similar, we cannot avoid the 1 month double running costs and in addition there are setup costs involved, together creating a hell of a monthly bill that would even make Santa Claus look pale 
     
    So as per above text, I hope you are confident we are not just wasting your valuable donations, but actually spending a lot of thought on our IT infrastructure before going to buy things we don't actually need.
     
    The current donations are just about covering our daily running cost. And any additions like the REPO server (40 Euro per month) are currently covered from our own pockets. As you understand, this leaves us no room to obtain these extra servers, pay the setup costs, and run a double monthly bill until we migrated all the data & servers.
     
    So we are looking for:
    1 - MONEY, lots of hard cash to go get the migration going, and obtain these server rentals.
    2 - Legal (second hand) windows licences. Anything from windows 7 to 10 pro to run as a base OS on these servers. 
     
    HOW ?
     
     
    Paypal (preferred payment method!!) :
    https://forums.ahoyworld.net/donate/make-donation/
    Above link will take you to our paypal donation page
     
    Then at the Goal tab select server funds so we can differentiate between the two. 

    Windows licence:
    Please send an email to legal at ahoyworld dot net with proof that your licence is official:
    - Purchase bill
    - Photo of your non-oem sticker, box or cd
    - Make sure your licence code is included in the email
    - Make sure your licence is not currently in use on any other computer
    - Anything is welcome at this stage, just no Home-Editions (Windows 7, 8, 10, Even: Server 2008 or 2012)
     
    NOTE: important that your licence is not OEM, ergo: not linked to specific hardware. Otherwise it will not work on our server (so please do not send us the old licence that came with your laptop\computer, those are all linked to that specific hardware)
     
     
    Donation Target:
     
    In total we need about £550  to complete the migration, and this is still without windows licences.
     
    For now, we are looking to collect 3 windows licences in total. Legit cost of around £480
     
    We will add another donation target on the website so you can see its progress live.
    Once we have reached a certain amount we will complete phase 1, move EU#2 and #5 onto the 32GB server then
    Phase 2 will involve transferring EU#1#4 and TeamSpeak onto the 64GB server. 
     
     
     A Massive Thanks From Us To YOU
     
    We would like to thank our regular donators, you guys have kept AW running over the last 5 years or so !! well done !! without YOU we would not even be here today !
     
    The same as above goes to our one-time donators, however big or small, thank you very much !!
     
    We would also like to mention our staff, (often they are also donators in terms of money) that constantly offer their spare time to work on making the AW servers such a good place for your daily gaming needs. Time is often more worth than money, we should not forget this. In addition they often give-up their own gaming experience by constantly being on stand-by to help anyone of you players and sort out disputes and remove grievers. We appreciate the HUGE efforts of this group !!! 
     
    And finally the players that makes our servers such a nice place to be, it's you and your high quality gaming that attract the many new players we have boarded into our community over the last few years !!
     
    TL;DR: In order to upgrade our server hardware, we need your money  So please donate, every little helps.

    As some of you may know, we as a team voted on which mods we would personally prefer to keep in AWE. And as this is a community and the players make the server, we decided to reach out to a few of you privately and ask that same opinion.
     
    That wasn't enough, and we want to make sure we make the right decisions regarding the future of the server. As such, we want to hear everyone's opinion on the matter, which you can do here in this topic.

    All it usually takes is someone giving a loud 'Lets get going' to give everyone the kick up the arse they need. Most of the time people are procrastinating because they think they are waiting for a plan or transpot etc, when everyone does this is when the problem starts. Of course it helps if teamleads and squad leads hurry everyone along as well.
