Suggestions / Time for producing
« on: July 19, 2015, 10:12:46 AM »
Hello,

Is it possible to make in unit/upgrade information where you can see its cost in man power, fuel, munitions, pop cap to add the time needed to be produced/researched ?

I know that when codding you can see those times but can they be shown to the players in game ?

Bugs & Tech Support / [1.7.0.2] 2-3 bugs in the same game
« on: December 10, 2012, 02:32:37 PM »
I saw 2 bugs.
Maybe Cranial can point 1 or maybe 2 more.

What I saw is around 10min. His heavy Soviet Morter open fire on my med bunker. I counter it with my morter and kill it. BUT his mortar drop 3-4 more bombs without a crew.  :D

2nd bug starts after 19min.  - My infantry start to retreat to med bunker insted of HQ   


Game is recorded + streamed from both of us  ;D

Balance Discussion / 1702 observer team and is it worth it ?
« on: December 01, 2012, 10:58:37 AM »
I wont talk about mp cost but I want to talk about the arty ability and its prize.

125muni and cant destroy a bunker ? 
Only 3/5 of bunkers health is gone after barrage ... why ?

What if you make it similar to USA offmap arty ?  I mean - to have a chance to destroy a bunker (not def bunker).

Tech Support / Broadcasting tutorials and tips
« on: October 10, 2012, 10:20:58 PM »
Hello everyone  :D

I am opening this thread to share my experience with broadcasting.
Everyone is welcome to give his tips "how to stream" here to help new people in broadcasting.

My goal here is to show the people how to stream while they are playing COH:EF and whatever they want.
With more people streaming their games this mod can get more fans and supporters :)

I cant show you all of the broadcasting programs, but in general they are all the same.

List of programs :
1. Xsplit
2. FMLE (flash media live encoder)
3. FFsplit
4. Xfire (didnt try it by myself)
5. OBS
All of this programs can work with twitch TV.

This is forum of the greatest mod (my opinion) for COH , so I will explain how to broadcast the game.

Most of broadcasters preffer Xsplit, because it gives them alot of options and have friendly interface.
Here is a link to good tutorial - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLkhjNvAlBU
But you need to pay for a license to get all resolutions, good audio and more than 25fps.

So if you are like me and just want to stream your game and nothing else you can use FFsplit, which is completely free for now.
This is the link to its tutorial - http://www.ffsplit.com/how-to-install/

Here is the new 5th program OBS. You can watch ist tutorial here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQVXySNiNbg .
It is completly free and maybe the best free softwere for casting. It is liter than FFsplit and Xsplit - this means that  OBS doesnt need so much resourses to cast the same quality compared to Xsplit or FFsplit.

Cant really say that FMLE is good for streaming games, but here is tutorial about it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUWXwBV_Nwk


Basicly all of those programs have same general options:

Direct show options :

Video source
Audio source
Microphone source

Encoding options :

Video Bitrate: In general you'll want to set this to ~75% of your upload.
Video Encode Preset: In general Default will be the best preset to use. There are other presets available. The faster the preset, the more bandwidth it will use and less CPU power.
Video Resolution: Pretty self explanatory. Most quad cores will be able to stream 1280x720 (720p). This is a great starting point. Work your way up from here if you have enough CPU cycles left.
Video Frame Rate: The amount of frames per second streamed out. Again a quadcore will be able to stream out 30 frames per second without any problems.
Audio Bitrate: The amount of bandwidth available for audio. 128kbit is a good trade off between quality and size.
Audio Channels: Here you can choose between Stereo and Mono.


Now lets start with tips :)

After watching/reading the tutorials those tips will help you to configure the program that you want to use.

1. You need a ping test program from this link - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=326034
With its help you will see which twitch tv server is best for you.
Here are my results - http://prikachi.com/images.php?images/990/5364990L.jpg


2. Open speedtest.net and test your internet connection to the best twitch tv server for you.
For me the best server is Frankfurt, Germany.
My results at this moment are http://www.speedtest.net/result/2233808883.png  - 30mega bits per second upload speed.

Now when you see what is your upload speed you will know how much you can use for stream.
Maximum speed that you can use for streaming is between 50% and 75% from your upload speed.
BUT if you use too much of your speed the stream maybe will be unwatchable for some of your viewers with crappy internet connection. So lets say that 5 to 7 megabits is the maximum.

3. OK, the 3rd step is knowing your processor, cuz videoencoding depends on it.
If your processor is weak (weaker than any i3 processor)  then you maybe wont get a good quality stream.
But if your processor is at least i3 or better you are OK.

4. Make e twitch tv account ( channel ) and start with tests.


This is from me for now.
In next days I will post tutorials for configuring and using Xsplit and FFsplit programs.

Thanks for reading.
And will be glad to see other streamers posting their tips here and links to their channels.

Strategy and Tactics for Soviets / Tutorial for using soviet units agains Axis units
« on: July 20, 2012, 09:58:29 PM »
Is there a guide/tutorial  how to use soviet units - infantry and tanks against various types of enemies.

For example :

Conscripts suck at long range against volks and grens. To have a chance go in close combat and use molotov.


If there is topic like this ... pls post the link before closing this on :P
If there isnt , I hope that experienced players , balancers and devs will post some tips for different soviet units and how to use them against enemy units.
