I’m interested in playing Brink 8-player online coop first thing. After a few maps, former ET players will probably be a lot better than bots. Not many of my friends trust this game enough to preorder it so I’d be on my own.
Is there going to be a list of servers ran by forum members to check back on in May?
I think so, I have a couple of mostly unused servers that could be converted. I’ll let you know after release.
[QUOTE=Cankor;258737]I’m curious how you would set up your server for free play in terms of sorting players by rank. Do you set up the server so it only allows, say rank 0-5, or does it sort by rank based on the first person who joins up? Maybe there’s some global thing where the master server switches it automatically based on demand? That last actually makes the most sense (at least as an option), that way you just say “I want this server to run as a default freeplay server”, and no other game settings to change, then it will set the rank based on demand.
Of course, you would want the option to set the rank yourself, so you could set up a server like: Beginners Park, rank 0-5 only.[/QUOTE]
i reckon servers are sort of auto-configured: VOIP off, FF off and as well ranking auto.
my hunch tells me the first joiner sets the ranke area for the following human players, bots can adopt. above that i guess you can configured your server into the tiniest detail such as selecting allowed rank area too.
