[MOD] Project Reality 0.7 : Released!

491eeee2ea7f12dc1091d926211af824 · December 25, 2007, 8:37pm

The Project Reality and Black Sand Studios teams are proud to announce the official release of Project Reality v0.7.

After countless hours of development and testing with thousands of code changes made to overcome multiple obstacles, the Project Reality Development Team is pleased to bring you this feature packed new version. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!

Thanks to several direct link providers there are a number of links available from our files page including a torrent link. As more links become available, we will update the page. Please note that due to the size of the mod, we have split the download into 2 parts, the core and the levels. You will need to download and install both to run the mod.

NEW FEATURES AND GAME PLAY ADDITIONS

-New Commander/Squad Leader Build System
Many Improvements have been made to the Commander Building System, making it more intuitive and teamwork centric. A lot of the 'rules' with this system have been tweaked and wherever possible, simplified. The number one change is that squad leaders are now able to place the commander assets. This gives the commander much more flexibility in placement and allows him to concentrate on the battle as a whole, acting less like a construction foreman and more as a battlefield commander!

-New Commander Functions
We have worked hard to create many new systems that will help commanders give orders to his team and make commander strategies a real possibility. Examples of this ability will be seen in the setting of landing zones, build orders, and close air support.

-New Commander Feature: GPS Guided Bomb Area Attack
GPS Guided Bomb ordinance can now be dropped on targets specified by Squad Leaders. This new system relies on using the SOFLAM laser designator to point out hard targets to be destroyed, and must be approved by the commander. These massive bombs are only available after 1 hour of fighting so they will only be used once or twice during an engagement, but the whole battlefield will be aware when one of these devastating bombs hits a target. This will be a key tool for commanders to break a long standing stalemate and should be used wisely.

-New Commander Feature: SAT Guided Air Strike
A SAT Guided Air Strike can be designated by the Commander to further the improvements to Close Air Support. With this new function the Commander can select any location on his map and request an Air Strike at that location by Jets and Helicopters equipped with laser guided ordinance.

-Close Air Support Improvements
Most aspects of attack aircraft have been completely reworked and tweaked. There are several new features with attack aircraft but all changes are trying to create a dependence on ground troops to work TOGETHER with aircraft. Attack aircraft such as the new British Eurofighter Jet and US Cobra Helicopter have laser guided ordinance including bombs and missiles. The Commander, Officers, and Special Forces can laser designate targets with their SOFLAM providing a laser signature for the aircraft to lock on to and attack.

-Transport Role Improvements
Being a dedicated transport player has just became a whole lot more interesting, and most of the time, necessary for a team’s continued success.

-New Ammo Resupply System
Ammunition conservation will finally be a new element in Project Reality. A commander will now have to think a bit more about logistics when attacking an enemy. We have removed many of the 'auto' rearming places in Project Reality and made ammunition resupply a much more easily identifiable location and a much more strategic element. Running out of ammo because you have over extended yourself is now a very real possibility, more so than any other version of PR.

-Spawn Point Revision
We have revisited the spawn system again to allow for a much more tactically engaging game play. We acknowledge that the game play in v0.6 was far faster paced and arcade like than we thought it would have been, and we have made changes accordingly. This new system puts the spawning capabilities of a team ENTIRELY in the hands of the players. This will promote more teamwork and bridge together the aspects of squad members and squad leaders working together, with the commander to form a whole new dimension of Team Work.

-HUD Improvements
A lot of changes to the HUD system have been made to help increase visual awareness and make PR a more visceral and immersive game. PR will now have a much more pleasantly attractive visual appearance that will especially please all those with high end rigs.

-Long Range Distant Weapon Sound Effects
All caliber weapons have been given a 'distant' sound to them. What this means, is that after 200+ meters, instead of hearing the regular sound of the weapon, you will hear a much more faint cracking sound. Again, its very critical that you have a sound card that supports EAX, and preferably a sound card that you can select 'HARDWARE' to get the most benefits from these sound changes.

-Sound Improvements
Nearly all infantry weapons have had their sounds completely redone or heavily tweaked! All infantry weapons have a much more realistic sound now. Many other sounds have been redone and tweaked too!

-Infantry, Vehicle and Map Tweaks galore!
Various improvements and tweaks to infantry kits, vehicle handling and weapon systems as well as game mode and map balance tweaks. Infantry and vehicle improvements include small arms fire deviation model not to mention anti-aircraft missile improvements.

-Counter-Attack Game Mode
In this new game mode one team starts on defense and cannot re-take fallen control points. The defending team has the objective of preventing the enemy from capturing all Control Points before their reinforcements arrive (usually after 30-45 minutes). If the defenders survive until then, they will receive additional vehicles and/or tickets to initiate a counter-attack! At this point, the game mechanics are similar to Assault and Secure mode, and the defending team can re-take lost CP's.

NEW WEAPONS AND VEHICLES

-USMC M16A4 ACOG and Iron Sights
The vanilla BF2’s M16 has been scrapped and replaced with our own sexy model and skin. There are currently two variants of the rifle, the famous M16A4 with “ACOG”, which has a 4x optical sight, and the M16A4 “Iron Sights” variant, which is the standard, non-scoped version of the rifle. A UGL variant will be seen in a future Project Reality release.

-Insurgent and Militia RPG-7
The placeholder RPG has been replaced by a much more realistic RPG with Iron Sights.

-Insurgent IED (Improvised Explosive Device)
The new Insurgent IED is a very powerful explosive carried by Insurgent Ambushers, perfect for roadside ambushes.

-British Scimitar Recon
The British forces have a new addition which comes in the form of the Scimitar Recon Vehicle. This armored vehicle carries a crew of 2 (driver/gunner) and is armed with both a 30mm cannon and 7.62mm chain gun. Its unparalleled ground speed suits its role well as an advance reconnaissance vehicle.

-British Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank
The latest installment of the British Armed Forces concludes the last element of their land based vehicles with the Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank. There are two variants including woodland camo and desert tan.

-British Eurofighter Jet
The first jet of the British Armed Forces is the Eurofighter Jet which comes equipped with cannons, anti-air missiles, and laser guided bombs.

NEW MAPS

-Fools Road
The second map installment of the Militia comes to a rise in conflict with a battlefield 3 times the size of Assault on Mestia. A plethora of trees and cover are scattered throughout the map providing plenty of places for firefights and ambushes. This time the Militia are well prepared for their British adversaries as they roll out with tanks, APC’s, and anti-tank vehicles. The British will be hard pressed to remove them from their fortified locations.

-The Battle for Qinling
An epic scale battle of the British versus the Chinese is now in play. Both sides come well equipped with infantry transport, apcs, tanks, helicopters, and jets. Each team clashes in a battle for supremacy while fighting desperately to win victory over the region.

-Bi Ming (Revised)
The long awaited night map of Bi Ming returns after revision and becomes a stable map for server play. Turn your night vision goggles and make sure to set up your perimeter as enemy troops will find it easy to flank and out maneuver you in the dark.

All of these new game play changes drastically increase the realism experience and players will find all new ways of working together as a team. Combined with the addition of new vehicles, weapons and maps, PR v0.7 promises players the most realistic gaming experience available for the Battlefield 2 platform. The Project Reality Wiki Guide has been given a major overhaul and will be continually updated with all new changes and images to help new players get accustomed to the new version. Please take a few moments to read the Project Reality Manual which gets placed on your desktop when you install the Project Reality v0.7 Core files.

ho capito che volare sopra una base e rifornirsi non era il massimo, ma qui si esagera col realismo.

Notizie Pre-release versione 0.7:

The entire Project Reality Team would like to wish everyone a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year! While this time of year is all about spending time with your friends and family, indulging in your favorite holiday foods, and enjoying all you’re recently opened gifts, we would like to take a moment to step back from all the splendor to remember the active military troops who are currently serving their respective countries away from their homes and loved ones this holiday season. We thank you for all of your sacrifices and pray for your safe return home. PR will be here waiting here for you!

Now, seeing that it is the Holiday Season and everyone is exchanging presents, the Project Reality Team felt it just wouldn’t be right if we didn't give the public another taste of our highly anticipated Project Realty v0.7 release. So, here is yet another small glimpse at what is coming in PR v0.7.

New Feature – JDAM Air Strikes
One of the many new features you’ll find in Project Reality v0.7 is the ability for players to call in Air Strikes on enemy targets. These strikes will be delivered in the form of a 2,000 pound Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM). Needless to say, the last sound an enemy being targeted will ever hear is the roar of the bomb cutting through the air as it plummets down to deliver its unforgiving wraith. Words cannot even begin to describe it, so here is some visual goodness:

Project Reality v0.7 Player Manual and Change List
In order to better prepare you for the numerous changes and additions coming in PR v0.7, we are releasing the Official Project Reality v0.7 Player Manual and Change List prior to the release of the Mod. These two documents contain some very helpful information about features coming in PR v0.7. Read through them and you will be sure to be prepared to squad up and hit the battlefield come release day. Time to do a little homework soldier! Click below to download the Project Reality v0.7 Player Manual and the Project Reality v0.7 Change List!

Also due to the amount of changes that have been made to how jets work in Project Reality to prepare you for the next version, we have made a small 5 minute video tutorial of how one should taxi, take-off, and land the jets in 0.7

Youtube: PR 0.7 Jet Training Video Tutorial[/url]

We would also like to show off one of our next maps known as “Fools Road”, which will be a British vs Militia map featuring some asymmetrical gameplay with the British having to push up though the map though dangerous paths and open planes in there APCs trying to push through the militia's tough defenses consisting of many AT Gun emplacements and bunkers!

As always, make sure you keep a close eye on the Project Reality Forums for more information, updates and of course the illusive Project Reality v0.7 release date. It’s a lot closer then you think…maybe.

Qualche piccolo ritocco:

In PR v0.7 there will be a bunch of new icons, markers and recolors coming from our R-CONs.

Thanks to [R-CON]Chuc, [R-CON]Geze, [R-CON]AfterDune, [R-CON]AncientMan, [R-CON]Shiftys1023 and others.

Ability icons

All those little icons that explain what the kits have were overhauled.

Landing Zones and Build Order

The Commander will be able to set Landing Zones (LZs) that will be visible to all squads and help the commander transmit his plan. Also the Build Order can be given to squad leaders to build assets for the Commander.

Compass

At the bottom of the screen, the new compass is more useful and visible.

It's going to help vehicle crews communicate a lot better where the enemy is.

Kit icons

All kits have different icons now. You will know exactly what each player in your squad/team is using in the capslock screen or scoreboard.

Loadmaps

All background pictures and loadmaps were updated to be more informative and just plain beautiful

PR's Message Of the Day

Say goodbye to "Highway Tampa" PR's MOTD will show useful and updated information about PR and other BSS mods.

Vehicle recolors

There were a bunch of updates on vehicle skins and you can check out a few bellow.

There are more updates in this area, so don't forget to check them out when the mod is released

Notizie sulla nuova mappa "The Battle of Qinling" le trovate QUI, non quoto tutto perchè spagina...

Molte altre cose, come discussioni e critiche su WIPs e cambiamenti le trovate nel PR Dev Journal

We worked on some updates to the AA and flare systems in PR to make it closer to reality and also bring some new challenges to the players.

First, the AA is VERY deadly now. If you get locked, you are pretty much dead 90% of the time. Like other vehicles and even soldiers in-game and in real life, get the first shot and you will be in a big advantage. The missiles are very good at tracking the aircrafts and will detonate when they get close to them without the need to actually hit them.

Second, there is no more track tone, only lock tone. While the enemy is trying to lock on your aircraft, you wont hear a thing, only when you get truly locked the alarm will go off. This was a change requested by our military advisers as most aircrafts have a "warning upon missile release" system that will only give a warning tone in the pilot HUD when the missile is fired. By the way, no need to post all kinds of other warning systems that these jets have irl as we got to a compromise of reality, balance and engine limitations.

So, by joining these two changes you basically have: don't get locked or you will die, and you don't know when you are getting locked until it's too late.

To counter this issue, the flares system was updated. As a pilot, you can fire any number of flares you want in sequence by pressing and holding the flares key (default X). If you click once, you will fire one flare. If you click and hold for a second you will launch a few flares in sequence. No more delay after firing flares.

BUT we all know that flares are limited in these aircrafts irl. Because of engine limitations there wasn't really a way to do it (they can only be unlimited), so the option was to give their usual loadout, but give a long "reload time" after that loadout is depleted.

The loadout number we got from our mil. advisers is 30 flares, and after these flares are used, you will have a 30s reload time. It's better to be out of danger during that time, so it's a good idea to land to reload your other weapons.

The helicopters have a slightly different system than the jets. Helicopters deploy flares in groups of six, so this means, you have five deployments before you need to wait the 30s reload time. Be careful, and get in and out the fastest as you can. Another helicopter update that wasn't mentioned before will help on this task. Helicopters can drop altitude as fast as they can gain it. No more taking 10s to drop 20m

All these changes mean that CAS aircrafts need to stay away of enemy AA infested areas, and only engage pre-determined targets, in and out the fastest that they can, instead of flying around looking for targets. Also, they need to assume enemy AA could be in the objective area and deploy flares during attack runs to avoid getting locked.

These updates will hopefully bring a new level of teamwork between ground troops and aircraft as well as a more realistic behavior of these war machines
