If you want to increase the ticket count to make a game last longer you can do it on a per map basis.
For example, go to Dust_3.1\Levels\Abandoned_Town\server.zip\ and open the init.con with a text editor.

Look for the following lines:

gameLogic.setDefaultNumberOfTicketsEx 16 1 150
gameLogic.setDefaultNumberOfTicketsEx 16 2 150
gameLogic.setDefaultNumberOfTicketsEx 32 1 150
gameLogic.setDefaultNumberOfTicketsEx 32 2 150
gameLogic.setDefaultNumberOfTicketsEx 64 1 200
gameLogic.setDefaultNumberOfTicketsEx 64 2 200
gameLogic.setDefaultTimeToNextAIWave 8
gameLogic.setTicketLossAtEndPerMin 1500
gameLogic.setTicketLossPerMin 1 10
gameLogic.setTicketLossPerMin 2 10

The first number is the gameplay level: 16, 32 or 64.
The second number is the team: 1 is Claw and 2 is Viper.
The third number is the ticket count: so if you want a long match on the 64 layout you could change it to:

gameLogic.setDefaultNumberOfTicketsEx 64 1 800
gameLogic.setDefaultNumberOfTicketsEx 64 2 800

I hope that answers your question. Let me know if you need help with anything else. :-)

Your files?

Thanks for the 10/10 rating. :-)

I'm very happy with this version. I just got a bit overwhelmed with finishing the mod and preparing the publicity for modb and I completely overlooked the file you sent me.

Very strange, I've never heard of that before!

Thanks for your comment. Dust 3.1 is now live. :-)

Thank you. :-)

Thanks! :-)

You're welcome!

Thank you for beta testing and giving me useful feedback.

With all of the bits and pieces that I had to work on to finish 3.1 I'm afraid that I totally forgot about the latest F18 flight dynamics. However, the version in this release does fly really nicely. :-)

Sorry to hear that you're getting crashes. What graphics settings are you using?

Thanks Metal. :-)

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "it was necessary to install more bots".

Adding more bots won't solve a CTD.

If you have Google Drive or similar you can upload it there then send me the link.

Thank you.

The new version of Dust will be released by this weekend.
But you need to find out why your game is crashing.

Do you have an unmodified copy of Battlefield 2 with all patches and DLC's?

If 3.0 crashes then so will 3.1 because the core of the mod is virtually the same. Both my old mod, which had been downloaded 5,176 times and my new mod, have been extensively tested, are very stable. They will not crash unless you haven't followed the requirement or have problems with your PC.

Are you running any other BF2 mods without crashes?

Please describe for me exactly at what point your game crashes.

The other thing that you can try is to run my mod in debug mode to find out what the error is.
You could also try re-downloading Dust just in case your files got corrupted.

I'm sure the problem is at your end because Dust has been out for 14 months now and I've had enough user feedback to know that it is a very stable mod.

Let me know how you get on. And don't send me three messages at a time, just one clear and concise message will be more helpful, ok?

:-)

So that's what you've been busy with ... nice release Mortarty!

Did you check the recommended requirements?

Have you downloaded Dust, or just one of the addon maps?
The maps will not work without Dust: Moddb.com

DUST needs an unmodified copy of Battlefield 2 with all patches and DLC's.

N.B. Trying to run DUST on a modified copy of BF2 will probably result in crashes.

If you have followed the above, Dust will not crash unless you have a problem with your PC.

Unless you give me some specific information I can't do anything to help you.

You need to download a modified .exe that unlocks the weapons.

Try this: Moddb.com

Thank you! :-)

Thanks for the very positive comment. You won't be disappointed with Dust 3.1. I'll be releasing it next week. :-)

Thanks. I hope to release 3.1 next week. :-)

Very good work, also on the SCAR! :-)

... maybe for my next mod which I'll be working on once Dust 3.1 is released. Thanks.

Thanks mate. :-)

Thanks, you won't be disappointed with Dust 3.1. :-)

Thank you! :-)

Thanks! :-)

The maps in Dust are complete remakes of vanilla BF2 maps or maps that were made many years ago by other modders.
