Events:
I've decided to launch another Event to test the water, if it doesn't go well I'll host another one, if that doesn't go well then we'll see

The first mission will be giving medical aid to a Downed helicopter crew, while fighting off the Insurgents. The second mission will be a small group of elite Russian forces must infiltrate an enemy base at night (Deploying from a Helicopter), plant some explosive charges on a motorpool, destroy the Vehicles and ex filtrate. Both will be followed by playing some other missions!

To get you more Interested, here's a video of an Event I held called "Operation FSG Tower":

Also remember that you are free to host your own un-official events, just leave off the Pre-Fix so people know it's unofficial, you can use the template - which will make it clear when your event will be hosted etc.


TeamSpeak 3
The Team Speak 3 server is down, the server files need updating and both Admins (Gaz & Craig) are away with real-life military commitments, for now we do have an old channel on Project Reality's mumble. You'll have to download PR's mumble software here

There have been alot of Missions Posted since the last update, here are a few:
Operation Cobra Misconstrued by Necrobot

Tunngle
I will just like to remind people the best way to play online. With the better features it has, we are now using Tunngle. Feel free to read my little guide I wrote out (with images) to help get you going. Feel free to post on the forum if you are having issues. If there is anyone still using Hamachi I really recommend you move into Tunngle so that you can join the JCOVE network and play with others.

Final Submitted Missions

Every Tuesday at 18:30 UK Time - Weekly Event will be organised.

Guide to Mission Respawn - An easy to follow tutorial on putting respawn in your multiplayer missions.

Dedicated Server
At the moment discussion has been made with BIA of which is still on-going. We haven't had a definiate no yet, so fingers crossed a solution can be made to improve the quality of playing with others in multiplayer.

8 Player Limitation
The JCOVE Lite Staff have also spoke to BIA regarding the maximum number of players we are allowed and they have informed us that they will not be increasing the slots greater than 8 players. This is due to the licence that has been agreed upon for having the free, lighter version of VBS2. Although this may seem disapointing for some, it needs to be understood that VBS2 is a commercial product.

Afghanistan themed map
Something else that is currently in discussion with BIA is the possibility of getting a new map, themed around the landscape of Afghanistan. This will be an additional map on top of the current two we already have. Not much else can be said at this stage but we'll keep you updated.

Alternative to Hamachi
We've been using Hamachi so far to connect players together, however we are looking at a new solution - Tunngle. This allows up to 255 people to be in the network, also allowing people to find us easier using the built in network browser. We have been approved our own JCOVE Lite network; of which you can find under the Tactical Shooter category.
