Mixed Mode

[Brutus]

Do you know if you can setup mixed mode by just having the maps and the mode mixed up in the map file or is their more to it?

In BF3? Yes, it's designed to work with mixed modes. We recommend using our map cycler for this, though, as if you use the game's built-in system, it limits the maxplayers to the one used by the lowest game type in the file.

One more question on mixed mode. Can you run mixed mode using your random map generator? Have the first one for conquest 64 and the next line set for Rush or does the random map only look at the first entry for your map list?

If it does look at the first line, then the second line, will Rush still be 48 players (My max player limit),

[Edge100x]

It looks at all the lines. If you have a conquest64/random line followed by a rush/random line, it will load a random conquest64 map, then run a random rush map next, then a random conquest64 again, and so on. Yes, Rush supports 48 players.

Thanks. I tried it, but when it goes to the random Rush map it switches the player count to 32. When it goes back to conquest it switches it to 48 (what I have max players set at).

The game has a bug that causes the wrong maxplayers count to be shown on the Status page for a Rush server over 32 slots, if that's where you're seeing this. Battlelog will show the correct number and allow players to join past 32 players.

Ok, thanks.
