(back)The private server is generously hosted by, and paid for by BBR_Insuw and provided for the use of clan members.

His cost is $80 per month for this server, and an additional $10 per month for use of the teamspeak servers.

Please contribute whatever amount you can every month to help defray these costs. Having a private server to use at will is a huge advantage for clan members, and helping to pay for it is only fitting.

You may use PayPal by entering the following email address:
• BBR_AA@cox.net

If you use it, please support it.

(back)If you go to the [BBR]Clan Public forum you will see a window in the forum header that looks like this:



Use the scroll bar to move toward the bottom of that window, and you will see [BBR] Private Server. At the right side you will see how many members are currently on the server (0/20) and which map is currently loaded, ie: "Insurgent Camp".

Clicking on the server name will display additional information, including the names of players and their progress, etc.

(back)The following has been agreed upon by clan members:

A Broadband Ranger never initiates nor participates in a votekick in the following circumstances:

• Being away from keyboard (AFK) when their absence has been announced to the team they are on.
  
  
• Team killing, unless purposely and with out apology.
  
  
• Suspected cheating, this is an ADMINS responsibility not yours.
  
  
• Poor performance. Or not following the actions of the Squad leader.
  
  
• Not giving up a weapon that you want to use.
  
  
• To end a round or Match for the win.
  
  
• Duress that if you do not votekick a player then you will be votekicked off the server. You will be votekicked off rather than vote off another.
  
  
• If the person being votekicked is a fellow Broadband Ranger. Or Trainee.

(back)Of course. :)

Your Site account

-This you create with your own GAME NAME and password.

-You create an account to see some members only stuff, and get to the forums.
With out a site account you can do little within the site but read up on news.

Your VWAR profile

- This is created by a site ADMIN for you.

- You have to be added by an ADMIN here so we can add you to the Ranger Roster,
and assign you to Squads and Platoons.

- You have to have an account in VWAR to join matches on the Battle Schedules.

- Yourlog in name is your GAME NAME and your password is your GAME NAME with out the [BBR] tag, leaving the first "_" underscore after a "t", but removing the "_T" from your game name.

- When you loose the "T" in your game name, your VWAR name is changed to match your GAME NAME, your password stays the same.

- So, if a member's game name is [BBR]_JustinIsTheBest. The username would be [BBR]_JustinIsTheBest and the password would be JustinIsTheBest.

This helps get people added to the Ranger Roster correctly.

Ranger Roster

This can only be created and changed by ADMINS of the site.

The information used to add a player is collected from additions to the aaotracker page for our clan.

In order to be added to the Ranger Roster YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE AN ACCOUNT TO THE SITE.

You DO need to be added as a player in the VWAR section, by an ADMIN.

So, in short, the site has 2 separate log ins: One for the site, one for VWAR. Integration of the two is currently underway, however, it will be a while as the process is long and difficult. When complete, you will only need ONE log in.

3.0 Game Info

• How do you put AAO into practice mode?
• How do I report cheaters?
• What training do I have to complete?
• Honor - Levels and points

How do you put AAO into practice mode?

(back)Start the game the normal way, and when you get the first menu screen, open a map of your choosing to practice on.

1) To open a map:

Open AAO
Hit the console key (usually TAB or ~) to open the console.
(To exit the console at any time just hit the ESC key.)
Type start mapname, where mapname is one of the following:

Bridge
FLS
HQ_Raid
JRTC_Farm
Insurgent_Camp
Mountain_Pass
Mountain_Ambush
MOUT_McKenna
Pipeline
Radio_Tower
River_Basin
Swamp_Raid
Tunnel
Weapons_Cache
Weapons_Cache_SE

(You can find a complete list of maps in your "?:\Program Files\Army Operations\Maps" folder.)

2) Movement:

Once the map has loaded type playerlock 0
(so you can move)

3) To get a weapon:

Now that you have a map loaded and can move you'll want a weapon and some targets to shoot at. That involves using some cheats but since it is single player practice it isn't cheating. However if you use these on a game server it is cheating.

Open the console and type mpcheat changeclass [weapon code] [no brackets]
Where [weapon code] is one of the following codes:

US Weapons

Code           Weapon
  r       -    M16A2
  g       -    M16A2/M203
 m4a1     -    M4A1
  s       -    M82/sniper
 s24      -    M24/sniper
  ar      -    M249/saw
m4a1auto  -    Ranger M4A1

OpFor Weapons

  ak      -    AK47
  gp      -    AK w/ launcher
ak74su    -    AK74
 svd      -    Dragunov sniper rifle
 mos      -    Mosin-nagant sniper rifle
 rpk      -    RPK Light Machine Gun

To switch to another weapon just simply type the code with a different weapon.

Honor Level      Points needed for next level
------------     ----------------------------
[0-10]              500 
[11-20]            1000 
[21-30]            2500 
[31-40]            4000 
[41-50]            6000 
[51-60]            8500 
[61-70]           11500 
[71-80]           15000 
[81-90]           19000 
[91-100]          23500
