portal

[lapis jacinth]

IS ANYONE HAVING ISSUES WITH CHALLENGE PROGRESSION NOT PROGRESSING FOR REAPIRING

[elfin granite]

i will wake up at midnight and play again, not rn

i'll jump on my harsh doorstop milsim, this doesn't require an internet connection

[manic dust]

you cant even enable team swapping in portal lol.... PORTAL SUCKS

farming bots for mastery/unlocks is stupid !!!!! glad you stopped the XP FARMS tho LOL

[zenith otter]

I seriously dont understand why BF studios has this weird disdain for closed weapon gamemodes. I cant even filter conquest for it.

[cloud sage]

I want to know why the actual hell are exclusive tags not an option. Who designed this garbage server browser???

[manic dust]

right.... its 100% trash

[cloud sage]

To be fair you can just do the playlist option for that, although you'll have to play escalation as well. I've been trying to find a single server for breakthrough but every single server has hardcore or other changes

[uncut jetty]

I am currently making the bridge map. There are no props on the bridge so i design it myself.

[zenith otter]

the makeshift hardcore mode for portal sucks too, because they remove ALL hud elements including the hud elements for aircrafts which you need to be able to actually shoot

[cloud sage]

LOL, lovely

[zenith otter]

im gonna have to start making semihardcore mode where the crosshairs are kept but fast TTK and FF is on

[upper stag]

does anyone else have issues with the "Official Rules" tag not showing up for Verified Experiences after publishing when enabling Backfilled Bots? i've seen other servers with bots and the tag

[cloud sage]

It doesn't matter, you won't be able to host your own server anyway lol

[rotund flax]

Is there a way to see server history for portal?

[cloud sage]

Nope! Not that I've seen

[rotund flax]

So the only way to favorite a server is to favortie it before joining lol

[cloud sage]

Like I said, this almost feels like it was made intentionally bad

[mellow bramble]

all these AAA companies have to hire so many people that they inevitably get sub 70 iq netflix morons to make the UI because that's what the 90 IQ MBAs want. You end up getting stupid junk like this instead of a normal menu and it takes years of the community roasting them to make any changes (see call of duty)

[versed cedar]

I would really like it if DICE added TDM, Dom, etc. to the Maps & Modes, both for filters as well as making experiences. I just want HC TDM 🙁

[vocal ocean]

I think I found that the progress only happens when it's squad vehicles
might need to try it yourself, I havnet got it to work enough to prove that

[fleet prism]

why am I always playing defender?

[ashen axle]

im always attacker on my own portal 😭

do i need to change a setting i cant find or something? Even when i put multiple maps in my own experience and says "next map" im always attacking

[jade patrol]

what is up with all the practice flight servers? Its just folks running around TDM style haha

[wind kiln]

yo small question, why the hell isn't there any cqc modes for portal, like domination, king of the hill, and tdm

[tired kiln]

You have to enable the debug console in settings then hit the tilde key

[versed cedar]

It is enabled 😛 And I am hitting the tilde key and it's not working

[tired kiln]

Oh shit idk then haha

[wind kiln]

but can anyone answer my question

[echo shard]

Hey. So... can I make a portal server where it's just ke and bots? I wanna see if I can learn the ropes more before I fuck up in a sqaud lol

[hearty oriole]

TFA Hardcore Conquest is up and running, just search TFA!

[lyric aurora]

I wish I could can’t find a full hardcore match… keep getting bots…

[wind kiln]

but can anyone like actually answer my question

[nova marten]

Ask Dice

[hearty oriole]

because they wont allow a server to start unless its got 32 players unless theres bots

[lyric aurora]

TFA??? I need 4 not 3…

[hearty oriole]

4 what?

[last pewter]

Fix the damn thing 🫡

[raven olive]

What does the " Hardcore" switch actually does?
I was expecting that it is a shortcut for all other settings (friendly fire, no hit direction indicators, no minimap), but it does say anything and it doesn't switch does options at all.

[hearty oriole]

Depends on the server settings

[jade patrol]

So I am seeing on the portal site, you need the phantom edition/premium to access portal/play these types of things? Can anyone confirm or is portal just not supporting actual flying servers yet?

[hearty oriole]

You dont need that to access portal and play these servers

[jade patrol]

right on, every server I join doesn't have any jets though

[hearty oriole]

the server your joining could just have them off or the map itself doesnt have them

[jade patrol]

appreciate it, I finally found one thanks

[last pewter]

We need dynamic weather effects in the game

[cloud sage]

Really?? There's dozens of hardcore matches. I'm physically unable to find a softcore breakthrough match

[lyric aurora]

That’s full? And not full of bots???

[cloud sage]

Yes, as long as you want to play breakthrough

[eager relic]

is there a way to add custom models or no?

[inner nymph]

how tf do you actually test your mode? everywhere i look EA says to test your mode before publishing but doesnt say how

[lyric aurora]

Conquest. lol

[cloud sage]

Host it, except games aren't currently able to be hosted because we've reached the apparent server cap which is absolutely idiotic lmfao

[keen hill]

There are other servers that are better for portal development.

[eager relic]

now is there a way to turn off collision for a object ? im not seeing collision in property tab

[cloud sage]

Also you don't actually have to test your mode, it's just a recommendation it seems. I published mine just fine, but maybe that's because it's an "Official Rules" mode?

[inner nymph]

so any experience that is "saved" in the browser should show up when i click "host"?

[cloud sage]

If published, I believe. But as I said though it doesn't matter, you aren't able to host servers anymore

[inner nymph]

oh so you HAVE to publish it to test... odd

[lost grotto]

I made my own custom server for my buddies to play in. It still says pending. Anyone know how long it takes for the server to go live?

[lofty finch]

server cpacity exceeded? im trying to host my own solo experiences since theres no solo mode in this game and i cant

[lost grotto]

I don’t see a password/locked option for creating a server either. Booooo. I hope they add that

[latent mauve]

Personally i don't need to publish it to test it locally.. I just save it unpublished, then in the main menu in game go to the commutiny section and click on "My Experiences" and you will se it. When you host unpublish experience only friend can join the host server. You can click on "Host locally" if you don't care about friend joining

[lofty finch]

any way to fix this or just wait?

[errant quartz]

I’m running into the same server capacity issues, my community server had an issue so I tried to reboot it and now can’t run it due to server cap

[inner nymph]

yea just figured it out lol, guess my mode is currently unplayable

[cloud sage]

@lofty finch @errant quartz you are unable to host more servers anymore. Everyone will have to wait an unknown amount of time

[lost grotto]

Oh. Well that’s nice.

[lofty finch]

lemme guess, it is full with xp farming servers?

[errant quartz]

Did the devs post about this earlier then?

[cloud sage]

That and just random junk servers in general. Giving everyone the option to make persistent servers was a massive mistake

[latent mauve]

yeah things seems weird, personally i can't save it when i use a custom spatial.json for the map. but work fine with base spatial.json file

[cloud sage]

No, it's just pretty clear to see. They want the portal/server browsing experience to be as poor as possible so people just move to the arcade weapon playlists

[lofty finch]

my pc cant run normal multiplayer matches but runs smooth with bots. i was just trying to play the game :( oh well

[lost grotto]

Looks like it works now

[errant quartz]

Oh if it’s not an official notice I’ll keep going at it then. It’s the same issue 2042 would get

[cloud sage]

Yeah you basically just have to keep spam trying it endlessly. I tried for an hour and then gave up

There are plenty of existing servers with bots, why not just join one of those instead of cluttering the list with even more empty servers

[errant quartz]

I gotta keep going I got a full discord community waiting for the server to go back up

They just need to shorten the 7 day cool off temporarily

48hrs is long enough imo

[cloud sage]

@errant quartz What's unique about your server?

[lost grotto]

Don’t want bots. I want an empty map for me and a couple friends to practice flying

[wind kiln]

they should've unlocked the host locally option when hosting other people's servers

[cloud sage]

I was talking to the person that said they were trying to create a mode with bots.

[wind kiln]

but nope they made it only for custom, and in which we have the same bulshit problem as 2042

[eager relic]

is there any docs anywhere? for stuff like the various IDs and what their assigned to

[boreal ermine]

How do you enable portal it says I need player created content enabled but I can’t find the setting anywhere

[errant quartz]

The server just went up. In terms of gameplay it’s like any other battlefield. But in ours it’s more the community, we run servers for 3 live service games and we’re a safe community to play with your friends and grow as part of a broader community

In terms of BF6 we got a team working on creating custom maps and experiences tailored by the community itself

[cloud sage]

Oh okay, at least it's a community server and not just another empty junk server

[alpine mortar]

Not that I've seen

[eager relic]

oof , would really help with scripting

[errant quartz]

We have bots to help spin up the server, but we had full 64 players for over 7 hours yesterday. Unfortunately portal was showing 0-64 players earlier so I had to reboot it despite players being in the lobby and it was getting a bit laggy

[lost grotto]

Gotta go to portal.battlefield.com

Oh I thought you meant to create content. Not sure what your question meant

[uncut jetty]

Got the bridge basically working. I am still improving the map. But here is early access to TDM on the bridge. Code is: 4vbh

[dry mantle]

I have been trying to start documenting things in Obsidian, to later upload to some sort of unofficial wiki, but it is difficult when 1. I don't know if what I'm trying to use is wrong or just bugged 2. When I can't test it because Portal Servers are at capacity

[eager relic]

yeah gotta be hard, im trying to make basic scripts but nothing seems to be working idk why

[lyric aurora]

Hardcore server?

[boreal ermine]

I made a map and sent it to publishing is that what I’m supposed to do to have it enabled?

[errant quartz]

This one isn’t but we are wanting to get hardcore servers up

[atomic cosmos]

Hey, is it possible to do challenges in portal?

[lost grotto]

I think so ya. I did that as well. Still showing pending for me. I’m guessing the whole BF server or whatever is very overloaded

[errant quartz]

Challenges can be completed on portal vs humans or bots

[bold raptor]

Has anyone received the perks yet?

[boreal ermine]

I don’t get why we can’t just play normally

[lost grotto]

You can. You can join other servers or play the official game modes

[boreal ermine]

It didn’t let me join other peoples servers

[lost grotto]

What was it saying? Should be able to join any server

[boreal ermine]

Player created content has to be enabled

I have a picture of it but I can’t send it here

[lost grotto]

Go to settings in game. Maybe under accessibility. Look for player created content. Turn it on

[snow dome]

Portal still bugged?

[kind thunder]

Is there already a fix for choppy mouse input?

[boreal ermine]

I went through settings I didn’t find anything and I’m not arsed with EA support because last time I tried it the guy didn’t even know what was going on after I sent him all the things that were going wrong

[lost grotto]

Hmmmm. I’m not sure honestly. I googled it and that’s what it said to do. There’s gotta be a setting somewhere. Are you on PC? Did you buy the game through steam? Maybe it’s a steam setting

[boreal ermine]

No I’m on ps5

Ah sure look I’ll see if anything changes tomorrow

[lost grotto]

Go to system settings in game. Where the crossplay toggle on/off is. Apparently it’s by that.

[boreal ermine]

I will definitely do that tomorrow I’ll screenshot that I won’t be turning the PlayStation on or the girlfriend will hit me a slap 😂 cheers for the help tho man appreciate it

[proud sinew]

I just thought this: A portal mode with more realistic damage depending on where you shot at and No HUD, more limited Ammo, etc.

[lyric aurora]

Hardcore! lol

[proud sinew]

not Hardcore enough

[manic dust]

Seriously add team swapping like tonight this is ridiculous

[lyric aurora]

If we can make the right server it will be!!!

[manic dust]

They give you the most dumbed down server I’ve ever seen where you can do nothing??? wtf is this. Portal is awful

[proud sinew]

Ok

[alpine mortar]

You can implement team swapping yourself technically though it also means you can't use any of the pre-existing game modes as a starting point and have to implement the game logic and capture points yourself:/

[forest sinew]

Does anyone know the portal code for the zombies mode it was from MrDalekJD youtube channel I can't find it anywhere

[lyric aurora]

Yeah, it’s not working how I want…

[alpine mortar]

I definitely feel like everything is very much alpha-level for portal this time around

[lyric aurora]

It wasn’t fun at all….

[forest sinew]

Do you have the code for it?

[quaint bobcat]

i think you can create a team swap option through the hud settings

[alpine mortar]

The tools are there to do some interesting really custom stuff if you want to dig deep into everything but common obvious stuff that you might want to do is extremely difficult as a result because they don't have a way of tweaking the existing modes

[lyric aurora]

No I didn’t need one, I just found an infected zombie mode…

[dry mantle]

Yeah its wild I have to remake the core components of conquest, just to then put my own twist on it with my own objective points for the map

[humble locust]

Why is it no longer possible to one-shot with the defibrillator like in the beta?

[alpine mortar]

Has anyone figured out what the Ongoing events actually do? It's confusing because based on the name it sounds like it should be something similar to a periodic update tick function but then one of the examples implements their own update loop

[manic dust]

Why though lmao this is the biggest fail I’ve ever seen

[manic dust]

I have to be a coder to have team swapping is absolutely pathetic . The people who made this game are mentally ill

[alpine mortar]

Hey atleast you can implement it, I want to be able to lock down squad moving and be able to assign squads down to specific objectives but no.. you can hardly get any information about squads in the API..

[lyric aurora]

Yeah, that’s obnoxious… so when friends are on the other team. No way to transfer… fucking ignorant…

[alpine mortar]

And if people move squads? Well there is no event to let you know so trying to track it globally is a mess

[lyric aurora]

They just want us to make the game for them…

[alpine mortar]

No they want us to remake the game 😂

[lethal vessel]

How do i test a map without publishing it first?

[lyric aurora]

You are correct!!! That’s the accurate statement! Haha

[mint drift]

Nothing been right since Covid. Quality down the tube

[floral magnet]

is any one having trouble with engineer class 3 challenges? Im not getting any laser designator vehicle dmg.

[scarlet ridge]

chatgpt is your friend

[lunar bluff]

Can you make King of the Hill in portal?

[dry mantle]

I have been trying to do that, with the point being in a super tall tower, but it's been driving me nuts with the gamemode setup ngl

[north ruin]

Is there any way to report portal bugs to Devs?

I have quite a few reccuring ones in the "verified gamemode" of Rush

[obtuse otter]

Is portal still broken?

[lethal vessel]

can't even change spawn points, I edit the spawn points on the editor, export the level put it on the game and it just spawns me in a random location

[lunar bluff]

How do you even set it up? I see only conquest, breakthrough and rush

[merry carbon]

im using the editor to setup a breakthrough game mode with bots, using their recomended selection. But game wont load when launched. It says i need x amount of players to start. anyonne over come this?

[red bay]

when trying to export my level to portal it says argument OUTPUT_DIR is required. Where and how do I fix that

[calm turtle]

Why is there too many bots in my lobby?

[vocal island]

is there an equivalent of "hardcore" mode from BF4 in portal? like no minimap, lower health, and stuff like that

(oh there is i found it nvm)

[calm turtle]

anyone?

[bitter python]

backfill i guess

[calm turtle]

there's 460k people online and servers isn't populated how??

[charred canopy]

Anyone find out how to get vehicles to spawn in the portal modes that say vehicle tests? Im hosting it but i just spawn mid map with no vehicles popping in

[latent mauve]

Anyone else have a problem save their experience with a custom .spatial.json ? Like whatever the map i export from godot and i tried to import it, each time im not able to save, i get those error : "Save was not successful. gRPC message exceeds maximum size 4194304: 60885286" or "Save was not successful. Response closed without headers"

[vagrant silo]

awesome back after a 24 hour time out for trying to share the direct-communication link .. who TF are the admins / moderators in here ?

[viscid frigate]

The matchmaker is broken and the server browser filter works only half the time.
When a game ends, the matchmaker disbands the same group of players into two different servers and so on...

[lyric aurora]

It will be broken for the next few months I think…

[winter meteor]

I'm messing with the scripts in rules editor and when I save i keep getting flagged by a moderator saying "Action Needed"?

[lyric aurora]

Yes, good luck finding a populated one tho…

[red bay]

anyone know how to set gamemode in the godot engine?

[river hearth]

https://tenor.com/view/squid-game-squid-game-2-cheers-happy-excited-gif-13406404385856133045

[vocal island]

F i was worried about that. loved hardcore in 4 and was hoping to see a resurgence of it in 6

[calm turtle]

oh, will it get fixed soon, i hope

[viscid frigate]

I don't know, but we've been telling them for years that official games must not disband the server at the end of rounds and must instead continue onto the next map with everyone. In Portal, it continues over but apparently Portal is stuck at 30hz where as the official games are at 60hz... So Hardcore game modes are a lower hz? 🤷

[winter meteor]

Ohhh, don't mention API in the scripts it will get autoflagged

[lyric aurora]

Yeah, I’ve been looking for one most of the day today, and yesterday… if we can find a full team, I think we can keep one going. But it will be hard to have a full team…

[fervent jackal]

Greetings. Can anyone confirm if FFA or like a 2v2 exists in Portal? It always seems to place us all on the same team.

[calm turtle]

Hmm I currently getting like 8 real people only and all bots

[quaint bobcat]

for FFA you will have to create X amount of teams with 1 player per team

[fervent jackal]

This is elite advice. Thank you, king. Can you do this in-game or do you have to use the proper PC Portal builder thing?

[raw cairn]

not a huge fan of them adding operators exactly like cod. I thought we were getting BFV like customization but no, you're forced to a preset of already made characters with their own backstories. It's identical to CoD's system.

[lofty finch]

Has Comms released a statement on the Portal servers?

[stuck knoll]

explosions tickle infantry

[atomic cosmos]

so does anyone actually have a idea of doing the PSR challenge? (150 headshot kills at 200M+ range)

[trail flare]

please, how to training with air vehicles ? portal is bugged for me

[red bay]

how do I set gamemode in godot engine?

[pseudo torrent]

i did this and it worked fine for me, need to just edit a conquest game

https://portal.battlefield.com/bf6/experience/publish/step-three?id=0be06480-a6d7-11f0-a08e-a4d08ad17b22

[wary yarrow]

Can someone make a gun master server pls?

[quaint bobcat]

you'd have to create it on https://portal.battlefield.com/ OR use one someone already created

[quaint bobcat]

the godot stuff is only the map editor. You set game mode when making the server

[fervent jackal]

I tried creating a game where each team could only have one person but it put my friends in queue and they couldn't join. Any advice?

[red bay]

But I can't import it because it doesn't have a gamemode

[rustic fjord]

I can’t even join custom servers bc it says I have to buy the server

[vast galleon]

anyone else having an issue with geforce app fps counter not working?

[rough idol]

does anyone know any good resources to learn the portal SDK?

[fervent jackal]

yes but it often does that for me with any game, intermittently

[ionic parrot]

I'm also looking for a good tutorial

[lapis jacinth]

how do i contact support

[manic dust]

why do they want playing vs bots to be the new norm.... portal is ass

[tawdry ermine]

We need a real server browser, and the host is DICE. End the era of AI bots.

[manic dust]

the server browser is trash. portal features trash. everything out side of core gameplay is dogshit

[tawdry ermine]

We really didn’t like counting kills and K/D from playing against bots. It’s uncomfortable to see some players reaching 17k kills in the stats.

[lofty finch]

Is the server capacity fixed?

[manic dust]

they said no xp farm servers.... literally allow everyone to make a server and play vs 32 bots with full stats counting

[cunning adder]

What..

Portal is literally one of the best additions to this game, once its out for long enough its gonna have some insane shit

[lofty finch]

2042 had a solo mode independent from Portal exactly for that, that for some reason is missing from 6

[honest spruce]

got a server going with close weapon settings if anyones looking for that: CLOSED WEAPONS // FULL XP // ALL MAPS

[manic dust]

dude you guys are coping so hard portal is trash.... that server browser sucks i never see more than 10 servers. PORTAL is nothing but bot farming

literally cant even switch teams on your own server... L O L

this game is 100% a reskin of 2042 with a wayyyy more F'd up menu system lol

[cunning adder]

Why dont you just dont play it then if its so bad no one gaf about your complaining and i guarantee you dice doesnt gaf about this discord either

[manic dust]

i can always hope they do and make changes

otherwise their games will continue to suck

[tardy kayak]

Is portal moddable enough to make it like BF2: Project Reality mod?

[alpine mortar]

I can't see why they wouldn't be making changes long term just as they did with 2042

[lofty finch]

Probably, people are still messing around with it. Time will tell

[mossy prism]

Why is the max player count on portal 65 and more but all I see is 64?

[cunning adder]

You can make maps and alter leaderboards and bots n stuff but no like custom guns i think? Theres tutorials on yt from bf portal hub and matavar that shows features off

[nimble sorrel]

Are the servers really full or is DICE just not letting us standard edition owners host servers?\

[tardy kayak]

Maybe not maps and assets but i bet the gameplay could be replicated

Hud, damage and Teamplay wise

[mellow bramble]

anyone else having weird stick drift on ps5? tried it with multiple controllers and my view just tilts up without touching anything on both

[cunning adder]

Yes i suppose hud and the likes can be changed and maps too, since you can make your own maps but idk about weapons etc

[nimble sorrel]

I just want to host my state empire 24/7 conquest experience because getting spawn camped on the fake COD Zombies experience is getting old fast

[cunning adder]

Try putting or deadzone up might fix it just a guess

[tardy kayak]

Biggest limitator there would be weapon deviation

[mortal sun]

how would i get an ffa map for me and 2 friends and how do I join? I can't join them or vice versa

[rocky tiger]

Sometimes when I try to equip new parts to a weapon, the game won't let me, even though I haven't reached the limit. Please fix this bug.

[south quarry]

Have anyone created Firing Test Range like in BF4 yet ? I want to play with vehicles and setup them up for live game but I can’t find a proper server with that setting. Instant vehicle respawn, big map, 1-3 bots max

[lofty finch]

Full, most of it occupied by junk permanent servers

[zenith scarab]

where can i possibly get 300 suppresions with an lmg faster?

[lofty finch]

Infantry maps, miss purpose

[zenith scarab]

feels like i have to dump half a mag over someone before it counts the suppression, by that point they either die or kill me

[hallow berry]

Can I get some help I was banned from a portal server for no reason

[gusty tusk]

So I have found functions to change player health and movement speed- has anyone found anything to edit jump force or player visibility (as in the physical model)?

[hallow berry]

Well I was kicked and I tried to join back and it said I was banned but now it let me back in has this happened to anyone else?

[dark ice]

Did they remove the dolphin diving? It doesn’t seem the same as the beta

[teal zinc]

Anyone done Engineer challenge "Deal damage to laser desingated enemy vechicles using lock-on weps" This when a target it painted and you lock on to it via AA launcher?

[sly terrace]

will they change the option to CHANGE THE GENDER? I WANT A MALE ENGINEER

[keen skiff]

anyone figure out how to define manual team selection and switching yet?

[void needle]

portal sdk docs are now available at bfportal.gg https://docs.bfportal.gg/santiago/scripting/mod/mod/

[dense holly]

Why are a lot of portal servers, mine included, at 140 ping?

I'm in Nashville, not exactly no where

[compact willow]

anybody know if there are any other gamemodes besides escalation where you can use planes?

[raw cape]

this XP Farm shit is OP

[hallow berry]

What sever is it?

[elfin quail]

Just go experiences and search for "Brad"

[raw cape]

People are just hosting their own. watching a guy who is rank 35 with almost every gun maxed out cause of it lol

[zenith scarab]

sounds boring

[hallow berry]

Thank you

[manic dust]

i mean the game is basically single player

[bold kettle]

Do any experiences like... work? I haven't found a single one that doesn't just spawn me in the middle of a map surrounded by bots, no matter what the description says. None of these vehicle training creations have vehicles lol

[ionic aurora]

Wait, so are we allowed to import custom assets or are we stuck using BF6 assets?

Cause I have a friend who does animation, so making custom 3D Models + Assets would be huge.

[bold kettle]

i just want a solo lobby with vehicles that have no respawn timer so i can dial in my controls outside of a real match. I made one on breakthrough but I can't play it because i can only host custom stuff locally and the browser is full of xp farm so you can't spin up a new server

No idea why they don't have the test island thing like BF, what was it, 4? That has all the vehicles and stuff on an offline map

[hoary rock]

What’s up with the global game quota error?

[silent cove]

How do I make my own map in portal and also is anyone really good on making and design gamemodes?

[obsidian bobcat]

Question about the SDK editor...
Should I be setting the values for player count, team count, general.max-game-size is the scripting part?

Whenever I import it to Portal web browser, I get errors about the team count and it never appears in "my experiences" in game.

[blissful tiger]

Are you only able to use the recon drone once per life? Having an issue spawning one after a use.

[hallow berry]

You can complete assignments in bot servers right like I make a server with bots and lock it for myself?

[latent mauve]

Anyone else have a problem save their experience with a custom .spatial.json ? Like whatever the map i export from godot and try to import it, each time im not able to save, i get those error : "Save was not successful. gRPC message exceeds maximum size 4194304: 60885286" or "Save was not successful. Response closed without headers"

[ornate monolith]

What do you mean, you don't need to host it publicly if it's only for you

[ornate monolith]

Just to make sure, you're hitting Export Current Level in godot, right? Under Portal Setup?

[bold kettle]

only custom experiences you can play locally, so when I make a breakthrough with zero vehicle respawn time that's not custom and needs to be hosted online. Trying to make a custom experience i guess without the SDK to edit the map, there's no spawn point or anything

I've tried about 20 different "vehicle testing" experiences that other people made and they're all the same, just in the middle of the map with bots and a map screen that doesn't work

[latent mauve]

yeah "Export Current level" then i go in my Experience on the site, click on the arrow with the screen "Attach a spatial json" then when i save it break and dont save

[spark scroll]

is there a general chat for bf6? cant find it on the side bar

[ornate monolith]

Give me a few minutes, if you're running into the issue where it says global game quota, just keep hitting host and it will work after a handful of attempts

[ornate monolith]

On the map rotation screen, yeah? I haven't had any issues. Are you sure you're using the right map for what you edited?

[latent mauve]

Yeah i use firestorm. im starting to thinking its just a network issues on my end... no one seems to have that problem

[errant turtle]

Why the fuck do jets feel like that very humbling experience

[ornate monolith]

Did you already have godot installed or did you install from the sdk download?

[latent mauve]

from the sdk download, i don't have gotdot installed otherwise

I even did the portal setup in godot, everything in the editor work well, custom gamemode scripting work to, but i tried everything, the custom spatial json for a map just don't want to work

[ornate monolith]

Maybe try making a new one and make a very minor edit, have you tried that and seeing if it works?

[eager atlas]

are portal servers down or something I'm getting gloabal game quota exceeded

[latent mauve]

Yeah a brand new Experience on the web site, i start on a new firestorm without any modification, i just added a random wall on the map, export it and it don't work

[lilac escarp]

Anyone know a good place where I could learn the basic for bf6 portal scripting?

[latent mauve]

I tried with all the other map too and same outcome

[ornate monolith]

I'm hellbent on figuring out why now

[latent mauve]

Its like the saving process just crash when i tried to save it, i check in the network tab of the browser when i save and the request just never return a normal status code and return a "failed net::ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED" that's why i start to think its a connection issues.

But at the same time it can't be a connection issues because if i don't touch the spatial json and just modify scripting and settings it work

[ornate monolith]

If you're unable to get one added I have one up you can join

[lyric aurora]

There's a bug where I'm repairing a tank with my repair tool but not getting the XP for it. Great.

[latent mauve]

like im very puzzle about this, how can it work and save for everything but not for spatial json

[ornate monolith]

What browser do you use?

[latent mauve]

I use brave, but i just tested right now with Edge and got the same error, i can maybe try with chrome

[bold kettle]

i'll figure it out, thanks though

[latent mauve]

same error with chrome, im out of idea tbh..

[somber sand]

I have a bugged camera when joining and hosting games

[latent mauve]

are you able to send me a spatial.json in private of firestorm with like just a custom wall in or something like that ? so i can test if the problem is from my godot install ?

[main schooner]

every time i try to join a portal game it says “ requires player created content enabled.” how to fix the problem

[mild thicket]

yo im confused, I just checked out the portal editor website but I see no actual map creation? am I tripping? I thought we could build whatever we want..

[latent mauve]

download sdk on the page you will have the godot engine to make the maps

[mild thicket]

ohh kk ty

[latent mauve]

you have a couple step to set it up but its farely easy, if you are not sure there is plenty of guide or youtube video that show how to get started

[versed talon]

How to test and play my edited map before submitting it?

[latent mauve]

You just need to save the project (not publish it) then you can launch your game go in the comunity tab in the menu, then click on "My experiences" and you will see it there to host it

[versed talon]

Thx

[latent mauve]

Be aware sometime for the first project you might not see it instatly, you might need to save it again or wait a bit before going back in the menu to see it

[earnest rampart]

getting tired of the "global game quota exceeded" message 🙁

[steep plank]

@earnest rampart just keep trying and youlll get in

[cerulean rune]

Noshar canal recreation???? Max ticket that hoe?? Plzzzzzzzz 🙏

[half solstice]

So not sure if there is a bug report or not.

Portal maps are not showing up to some of my friends, and others can see and join without a problem. if you try to join as a squad some people aren't getting pulled into the match and have no way of joining because the servers aren't showing up.

Not a bug but we really need the ability to team swap again

[half solstice]

Ive been spamming A for the past 10 mins hang with it you'll get in

[pseudo ember]

In game settings

[earnest rampart]

finally got one started now my friends can see it and hav no join option. can only host...

[ancient mica]

I am going to be making a BF6 MOBA through Portal if anyone wants to help shoot me a dm

[manic dust]

if someone wants to make something on this portal garbage.... make it so i can let people switch teams ffs

[half solstice]

Same

[ancient mica]

you can its a basic setting, its on the 3rd page of starting settings

[half solstice]

Where is it?

I haven't gone into the map building bit

[cunning creek]

portal is useless

[ancient mica]

Its def not lol, you just need to learn it, if you have no coding experince. Like we are already making a BF6 MOBA, there is ALOT you can do with this is you have the skill

[ancient mica]

its in the settings when you make a portal server. there is a specific setting saying "allow switching teams, on/off"

[half solstice]

I didn't see it ill have a look tomorrow ty!

[ancient mica]

no prob

[lofty badge]

what are legit portals where i can just practice piloting?

[ancient mica]

the ones that say practice flying lol

[lofty badge]

Ohhhhh. DIdn

Think of that. Thanks for the great info..

Now, anyone else know of a legit one because there are a ton of fake ones just getting people in their lobbies for whatever reason.

[ancient mica]

there is like a dozen different "practice flying" servers, i have not come across any that say that then dont have it lol

[lofty badge]

Thanks for the useful information. Just don't answer if you don't know man.

[ancient mica]

24/7 flying
practice flight
24/7 flying xp
air superiority
24/7 Air superiority
Operation FS vehicles 1000% spawnrate

lol they are pretty self explanatory my guy, in the time you spent asking this question you could of been in and out of like 10 different servers to find the right one

[lofty badge]

lol You just can't help it "my guy"

[ancient mica]

i just gave you 6 different portal servers to check out exactly what u asked for, its not really rocket science

[lofty wave]

Hey guys, do you know if there is a specific channel (or another discord ) for Devs, using the SDK ?

[ancient mica]

Nah i dont think so, i just been using this channel for quesktions and stuff

[kind thunder]

anybody found a fix yet for the misserable "framtime lag like" issure with the mouse n stuff ?

[lofty wave]

I'm still trying to understand how I can test my changes before publishing to anyone ? ( And how far I can go, but that's another story lol )

[ancient mica]

you should be able to use the test/playtest button, which should launch a private session with youre current save logiv

[fossil remnant]

i dont see team deathmatch under modes in the portal editor. only breakthrough, CQ, and rush.

so how would i make a custom team deathmatch?

[lofty wave]

You should be abel to configure it from Portal Custom > Default

[fossil remnant]

i tried that but i dont see a tdm option anywhere under it.

[lofty wave]

You will have to set the number of team you want and probably create a script for it ? ( I'm not too sure.. still processing this thing ^^ )

[fossil remnant]

im assuming there is a way to do it under the rules/scripts as well but its confusing for me.

[shrewd crown]

Is there some sort of in-game console that logs the output of the mod that's running? I find it difficult to debug issues in-game with my script using messages.
Also, is anyone else experiencing an issue where your scripts sometimes show no signs of life at all when you re-save with changes? That's why im wondering if there is some sort of console that tells me if my mod crashed or something.

[lofty wave]

I think I just realized we won't be able to have the squad size to 6.... 👎

[meager valve]

this server browser is absolute garbage

[stable basalt]

Can some make a search and destroy mode

[lofty wave]

Trying to get a commander mod on.. like a BF2 style... but looks like it's going to be locked up. We will keep trying.

[earnest rampart]

How can you join a server thats arlrady rurning? the only option is host

[cerulean rune]

Make a Noshar canal tdm map for us OGs 😭

[ripe basin]

please add more servers and if you dont add more servers add a "queue" so i dont have to press the button fifty times

[dry mantle]

I don't know of one either, but it would be useful to have. There is a subreddit, r/Battlefield6PortalSDK

[opal elm]

so still cant make portal servers?

[echo wadi]

I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible to make a rule set that basically scales with human player count. So say starts off with TDM, but when 15 people join, it changes to rush after that round is over. After 28 people join, it changes to conquest/escalation. Is something like this possible or am I reading it wrong?

[lunar bluff]

do portal bot kills count towards progress?

[opal elm]

yes. if you just make a private portal instance you can essentialy do all challaenges/asignments

[opal elm]

that sounds incredibly cool. but incredibly aids to make.

[vernal finch]

Anyone else getting a "Couldn't save scene. Likely Dependencies (instances or inheritance) couldn't be satisfied."? When trying to export levels

[echo wadi]

lol I’d like it to do it on the fly but I’m wondering if you can even do it after the round ends, having it switch server size and type automatically

[opal elm]

h,mm that does seem tricky.

right now im just struggling to get a portal server up. Apprently theres no slots for one

[uneven cairn]

I think only custom portal instances can be self-hosted at the moment, which kind of sucks.

[opal elm]

yeah im trying to do that. but theres no slots avalable to host them sadly.

"global game quoted exceeded"

[uneven cairn]

I had one up about 20 minutes ago, regretting taking it down for tweaks. That's such a shame....

[opal elm]

dude its nuts i just wanna grind my stuff out

[chilly basin]

https://youtu.be/ubDEvKdxfMQ?si=dMvAhfPYqVIHISJS

Damn

[opal elm]

weird thing to be posting here...

[uneven cairn]

Also, you can't set the region of a portal instance which is a questionable design choice.

[opal elm]

you cant???

[uneven cairn]

Nope. I got one in SEA and I'm in OCE, so I took it down hoping when I started it back up it'd select the right region

[opal elm]

hmm that is weird

dude above us is posting links to cheats. what a bum

[uneven cairn]

I don't get why they didn't containerize the 'server' so we can self-host. Idk how hard that'd be, but honestly, this is a disappointing design that will cause them to expend money (server costs) for no gain. They need to rethink their approach about portal, because it's vital for the longevity of the game. I hope they spend some time post-launch dissecting what went wrong.

[opal elm]

yeah that seems a bit funky.

How are you finding the SDK anyway?

i find myself struggling a little with it. as it seems complicated haha.

[uneven cairn]

The controls are really wonky, I'm trying to redo them to be a bit more reasonable. I started working on a damavand peak map but the map editor itself is... clunky.

[chilly basin]

m simply pointing it out its a yt video and should be pointed out. Its shit like this that ruins fps games.

[opal elm]

in...the portal channel...where it dosent belong...right. sure.

hur let me just post a video with zero context and nothing to do with portal but have the cheats linked in the description. yeah....okay buddy.

[opal elm]

dudeeee Damavand peak would be literlary peak.

id love to see a map that has a DAM or somthing but you can fight on the grasslands bellow it. aswell as ontop that would also be a REALLY sick idea for a map imo.

[uneven cairn]

Yeah dude, you're advertising lol
If you were in good faith, please make a post on the forums and delete the link above 🙂

[manic dust]

its really just sad how low this game has come since bf3/4 days... i mean the quality of those games was 100000x better than what we got now. Maybe not graphics wise but the content/ the overall game/ progression/menus/ stats pages etc.... those were COMPLETE games. What we got is dogshit. maybe scrap this portal garbage and focus on making a good game not having the players make the games themselves

[onyx dagger]

is there a place or channel to share portal experiences?

[opal elm]

i dont think BF6 is dogshit in any way. i find myself thoroughly enjoying the game. Combat is fun and just what i remeber from the bf3/4 days with new elementrs sprinkled on.

The portal mode seems clunky but the amount of creative control you get if you just sit down and read and learn how to use it is 10 fold.

[uneven cairn]

It's definitely head and shoulders above previous entrants to the seires. I played a bit of modded BF3 and that was a nightmare to get working

[opal elm]

lol you remeber you could get banned for using a base game feature in BC2? loool shotgun slugs were nuts.

Dude this global game quota bs for portal is really anoying.

[uneven cairn]

I actually got banned from 2042 and I'm pretty sure I know why. I had VMWare running for a uni assignment (I was compiling some stuff in the background). I assume it incorrectly thought that was a cheat and banned me, which is kinda my fault for not thinking about (but also, it shows a weakness for false positives which they ought to work on). I appealed but no luck. Crazy coz my k/d was like, 0.9 (very meh)

[opal elm]

to be honest though. did you really loose anything of value?

[uneven cairn]

Not really, I'd already refunded 2042 once and a friend convinced me to try it again. It was really bad lol

[opal elm]

i spend 70 hours doing that free pass and unistalled it.

literlary only had 2 hours of play time prior to that. did the pass. unistalled it and removed it from my steam

[dreamy heron]

Right. Tryna grind my weapon challenges! 🤣🤣

[void needle]

no custom assets can be imported

[dawn plinth]

portal is the only way to save this game, map design is awful

[manic dust]

you cant even allow team swapping dude

[uneven cairn]

@void needle do you know how to create mesh resources for the editor or are you stuck using what's already in the game?

Holy balls, nevermind, found it in the ArrayMesh class:
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.4/classes/class_arraymesh.html
Are we seriously going to have to go to blender, create the map, use a script to stick all the verticies in an array and initiate it from that? That's clunky af...

How do you even texture it? I was hopping portal would ship with a specific mapmaking tool 🙁

If you're looking for an easy to use level design tool for a project, you may want to use FuncGodot or Cyclops Level Builder instead.```

BOOO. Alrighty, let's look into those level builders reeeee

[lilac escarp]

What's the difference between Labs and Portal?

[uneven cairn]

Portal is a tool for hosting and joining player generated content (i.e. a server)
Labs was a program for community sourced QA testing

[worldly torrent]

Btw is it just me or the conquest part that the bots all don't ride any of the vehicles?

[dawn plinth]

I saw some bots using tanks

[uneven cairn]

Just you, I was able to get bots in vehicles. Check your settings:

I can't attach screenshots, it's under modifiers, bots, ai passenger seats

[opal elm]

some reason i aint getting the repair points. is it broken?

[versed talon]

Yes i saw it, i had to wait a bit

[lapis jacinth]

anybody having issues with progression tracking upvote this https://forums.ea.com/idea/battlefield-6-bug-reports-en/challenges-not-tracking/12743240

[mild thicket]

wtf is going on with portals servers rn man, 80% of them are just spawn killing lobbies

[lapis jacinth]

It will hopefully get a patch out quick

[lapis jacinth]

^^^^^^

[worldly torrent]

I'll check on those setting! Since I created a default one without altering much, breakthrough was fine as I see the bots were in the vehicles.

[void needle]

why do you want to texture it?

portal in bf6 is split into three parts

1. Godot
2. Portal web editor
3. In game server hosting

Godot is used to place pre-defined assets on the map and configure them, it is only used to "place" them on the map
then you "export" them and attach the exported json in "Portal web editor"

In Portal web editor you can also add custom scripting and also configure the modifiers (team size and such)

In game is where you host the server

[vernal finch]

I'm attempting to create a custom map for conquest, and I'm assuming I have to script a whole points and conquest system entirely over or is there a way to have it have the same mechanics?

[lunar bluff]

i just made a custom game and i get no exp nor progress from bots, is there any condition?

[opal elm]

yeah. you have to choose an offical gamemode. with default settings.

[opal elm]

here. this is a portal code for conquest agaisnt bots 1k58

[uneven cairn]

Making a terrain

[void needle]

You can not, all that is handled by frostbite not godot

[uneven cairn]

What's the point of the terrain node being a child of the level? Is it for AI pathing??

[vernal finch]

To utilize for adding objects to the map and could be for adding AI pathfinding potentially.

[uneven cairn]

Boooo, alright thanks for that though, save me wasting my time

[vernal finch]

Yeah I found that out the hard way, but oh well. time to rescript the whole conquest mode

[tawny sundial]

Can you somehow switch teams on Portal Servers?

[uneven cairn]

Nope, which is exceptionally silly as a design choice as it precludes using portal for competitive...

[tawny sundial]

Or an admin switches you? Any workaround? Planning smth for comp and found nothing so far apart from 4on4 squad join

[uneven cairn]

admin can't swap either

[void needle]

Using custom logic yes

[tawny sundial]

Mh, so you have to squad up and join each after another and be lucky to be in the right team

[uneven cairn]

I guess you'd need to make a UI for it?

[tawny sundial]

How? Really would appreciate it - any guidance?

[hearty niche]

so uh how do i set up capture points?

[mortal quartz]

Combat Area
Combat Areas define the playable boundaries of a level.
Combat Areas require the Combat Volume property to be set with the created boundaries. Use a PolygonVolume to draw out the shape by moving the points of the volume by holding left-click on a point, and holding control and left-clicking to create new points. To remove points, hold control and right click on individual points.
Working Combat Areas are pre-placed on all maps.

[hearty niche]

ok thank you!

[mortal quartz]

quick docs

[oblique geyser]

One gun done, only all the other ones to do 🙂

[last pewter]

Nerf the movement lol

[dusty fog]

Anyone knows if they fix the TN issues? I want to buy it but I dont know if it gonna work. Beta never worked for me.

[vernal finch]

Make a script where if you type a message like /switch in the chat it changes the team to the other team

[uneven atlas]

hello

[tawny sundial]

@vernal finch any idea where i could get smby to do it? Would it be an easy copy paste on portal server creation?

[plain ember]

why does an admin keep removing me from a xp farm game everytime

[opal elm]

Ok so im not getting any XP from repairing vics. which means im not getting the challenges completed...

[plain ember]

And now im banned??? makes 0 sense

[opal elm]

banned from the server or game?

[plain ember]

server

[opal elm]

not really the place to moan about that

Its a comunity server. they can ban and unban anyone they please.

[plain ember]

well im not "moaning" im curious

[opal elm]

it may seem unfair or weird you got banned, its just how it is. they can do as they please on their server.

[plain ember]

k?

[opal elm]

just how its been since 3 and 4.
Just how it is my dude.

[plain ember]

ok i got the point

[rocky tiger]

1 - Sometimes when I try to equip new parts to a weapon, the game won't allow it, even though I haven't reached the maximum. Please fix this bug;
2 - Map rotation is broken or just very bad; sometimes the same map appears twice in a row;
3 - Weapon progression is too slow. Seriously, I got 70 kills and only leveled up one, ridiculously slow;
4 - Some weapon parts don't provide improved stats or simply don't display them (Example: SMG muzzle brake).

[oblique geyser]

the 1.2.4 is true but 3 is good that its slow. makes it woth playing same as leveling

[rocky tiger]

Nah, in the beta it was too fast but now it looks like i'm playing Tibia.

[dusk dew]

Portal server add pls

Server error 😢

[oblique geyser]

i have about 20 hours in the game, im level 31 and got one gun to level 50, makes it worth it ( it sounded unimportant but it makes the game worth it. if i leveled to fast or "finish" the game to quickly it would be boring and nothing to chase

[rocky tiger]

But right now it's feeling like a job.

[oblique geyser]

well we payed 70$ for it.. gotta work for the money we wasted

[dusk dew]

Portal code X pls, again 2042 error

BF6 HOST ERROR

[round sundial]

so, i guess everyone made persistant servers and now the available servers are just.. full

[west egret]

That is VERY VERY selfish, persistent servers should not be allowed IMHO.

[light root]

Ye they should remove persistent servers that have 0 players and default settings its just pointless

[west egret]

Or just have a low limit on persistent servers.

I can't even get on now and play my portal experience.

[pale mural]

Allowing anyone and everyone to host a server has been certified EA moment

[light root]

Keep trying eventually you will jump had that problem

[west egret]

Nothing wrong with hosting a server but persistent servers sitting idle and empty waste server slots for other people.

I've been clicking on host for 30mins now .. still no joy.. might as well go play Helldivers.

[light root]

Especially with no effort just default settings even the name is default that should not be allowed to be persistent

[west egret]

These bozo's XP Farms do not need to be persistent...

[topaz agate]

Maybe servers that have 0 players should be automatically closed down and then only spun up once at least 1 player joins? (If they don't already)

[rare quiver]

why does it say ive recieved these 12 codes for the ea error but i cant see them in my inventory when i look at my boosters

[west egret]

Doubt they will be in inventory .. the event pass will be automatically applied and the xp boosts should be in the xp boos section of challanges.

[rare quiver]

Players impacted by yesterday’s EA app outage will now find their XP Boosters delivered to their in-game mailbox and XP Boost inventory.

To see your XP Boost inventory, on the main menu, select "Training Grounds" and select "XP Boost" in the top-right menu.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

[west egret]

Right ..

The top line of the XP Boost window is the activation time left if nothing there then no XP boost enabled. The 3x3 below is where the boosters are and you just click on a booster to activate it.

[rare quiver]

i have the mail from them saying theyre giving 12 but there is a X next to the name of the boosters

[west egret]

should be x6 of the career and 6x of the hardware

[rare quiver]

i know ive been using my ones i had but i want the ones im owed bc i couldnt play

i have 2 of each

[west egret]

Then contact EA support

[rare quiver]

maybe its bc i dont own it on ea anymore idk i brought it on steam instead

[frosty harness]

why in bf6 nato heli won't spawn ?

[west egret]

maybe they have not been credited to your account yet.

[west egret]

That will be why ... I'm on steam and no freebies for me...

[rare quiver]

i had it on ea friday when they had the problem and yesterday just brought it on steam to play with friends in the mean time

[west egret]

I don't know how that works but the Steam version does not show up in the EA app ..

You would need to launch it from the EA App to get the compensation.

[rare quiver]

who knows

[west egret]

I bought it on Steam and it does not show up in the EA App installed games, the old games did.

Try launching BF6 from the EA App and not from steam.

I can't even play my portal game, I'm off to play Helldivers.

[rare quiver]

i brought it on EA before i brought it on steam but refunded it yesterday and brought it on steam instead so i could play on friday

[tame wadi]

I’m tryna practice flying does anyone know any portal servers that aren’t disguised xp farms?

[vernal finch]

Who's good at this rules editor block stuff, I can't figure out why the capture points wont work and need someone to look at the stuff

[vestal crescent]

Is anyone having an issue where they try load into a server, the server loads but then they are kicked back to the title screen? (On pc btw)

Anyone know how to create maps like they showed we could customize our own maps ??

[native drum]

Have the ability to add different game modes to the map rotation.

[oak moat]

Wild how many scam servers there are

[neat dragon]

Do I have to "publish" an experience before I can select it in game to host? It says publishing will take hours but I want to itterate quickly. I saved it in the Portal Creator but it says "unpublished" and it wont show up in game

[vernal finch]

It will show up in your community games, it may take a bit.

[neat dragon]

Oh yeah I'm dumbo sorry. It didn't show up right away. Took a few minutes

I saw some of the sample mods use console.log for debugging - anyone knows where I see the output of that?

[unique ridge]

I got a total of 4 out of 24 boosters lol

[cunning sorrel]

To upload a Custom Map, do you have to select one of the Available Maps first from the Map Rotation tab and then assign your custom spatial ? I'm not getting the result I expect.

[unique ridge]

nevermind I havent got them at all

[torn walrus]

heres a question is there a server/server scrip that has HC like the old BF4 servers, ive tried playing the HC already on the list but its not feeling right and all that, if anyone know of scrips/block let me know would like to try and make a old bf4 hc server lol cheers

[past forum]

@neat dragon needs to be published first to show up in game

[versed cedar]

You should be seeing it in the dev console I reckon (enable it in settings > hit tilde in game), but I haven't gotten it to work in portal servers yet. The console works fine in regular MP, but not for portal for me at least

[neat dragon]

It doesn't open for you at all when you press ~ in Portal? But hm yeah that would be a reasonable place to see it :p

[cunning sorrel]

Make sure you have activated the console command option in the settings System tab.

[tidal arrow]

can anyone start a portal server?

[neat osprey]

anyone already got the XP Boosters for the Outage?

[drowsy lava]

I cannot start a portal server

Global Game Quota Exceed all the time

[lyric aurora]

How do we make our clan tag??

[coarse verge]

are portal maps broken? any maps i load into dont have the stuff that was designed. like flight maps dont work at all

[gaunt sand]

Need dedicated server support. Can't expect people to make community servers and not have the server capacity to support it

[hexed loom]

is there a portal code for weapon attachments unlocks against bots yet?

[neat dragon]

I can open the console on portal but I don't see any of the console.logs there

[finite pawn]

Most portal maps are idle xp farms right now
I have a vehicle training map comming up (Mirak with just 2 of every vehicle), you may find it if you look for "Florent", but it is still in review

[coarse verge]

i mean even ones that are labeled for flight testing ands tuff have nothing, its just weird

[orchid fog]

I don't get why they don't have a rental server program. Extra cashflow and you instantly get rid of all the solo and empty servers.

[versed cedar]

Hmm lemme try again, I'll get back to you in a couple of minutes

[dusty moat]

I’m looking for a code for working vehicle test range server. Anyone can help? Mostly jets and helis

I loved that feature on bf3

But what i would really like would be the commander mode.

What area is it? I have been looking for an Oceania one.

[rocky tiger]

The thought of having one of my teammates playing "Clash of Clans" using the rest of the team as pawns is hilarious to me. It would be the third game I've played to mix and add RTS elements into an FPS, making the game even more fun.

[wispy sonnet]

There one i started in oce - its still up

[late patio]

Ahh, all the ones I tried just don't have vehicles to deploy.

[wispy sonnet]

This one does 🙂 had the same issue so i made one with vehicle spawns next to the players

[late patio]

I will have to see if I can find it 🙂

[gritty elm]

Yeah im having the exact same issue none of the custom flying training maps work in portal. I even made my own and it didnt work. No vehicles appear. Its weird gotta be a bug right?

[late patio]

6gvy - host one, it works.

[gritty elm]

6gvy? Is the creators name or map name do I just search that?

[muted pilot]

Guys, can someone explain me how to make an HQ where you can select a vehicle to spawn in? Or show me an example? Also how to rotate the camera on deploy map, its always scuffed?

[versed cedar]

Okay, go the console to work, think I just had to restart the game or whatever. Tried console logging during ongoingglobal but yeah nothing in the console. Console.log is also not a function of the console. It tells you to use list, but I haven't found a way to scroll back up in the output, so I have fuck all idea what commands the list spits out. But I tried searching for log and console and what not but those don't exist and aren't valid commands. I also tried searching in my documents, appdata (local, roaming and locallow) and the game's install directory to see if it maybe wrote a log to file somewhere, but I can't find anything there either.

I have a sneaking suspicion that there is some console or something we should (eventually?) be able to access somewhere where these logs are written to, ór that it's something they use in their internal toolchain that also does the compilation for them to the final TS files, but I have no idea how that shit works.

I'm also low key upset they are not dropping that tool chain btw. Now we have to go and roll our own set up so we can have classes etc in separate files and folders and merge it all together. It's silly.

I did figure out btw that you can import the code/modlib/index.ts! The block builder in the site allows you build stuff and then convert to code and that code shows that the block builder itself imports the modlib, so that's good at least. I still think it's a bit fucked, but hey, it is what it is.

[late patio]

Search in experiences, and then you can host it. @wispy sonnet bloody nailed it.

[muted pilot]

I want basically deny on foot spawn and just make a vehicle selectable on deployment

I managed so far to make vehicle spawner active and make the vehicles respawn etc... Had to figure out that you have to add an actual vehicle to the spawner.

[gritty elm]

I searched it nothing came up

[muted pilot]

Now i kinda need it to integrate to the HQ so its selectable ... I have no idea how, tried different aproaches...

[late patio]

Search it as an experience, not as like a portal.

[gritty elm]

Gotcha I'll try that.

Yeah searching in experiences doesnt pull up anything for 6gvy

[willow escarp]

Party's need fixing leaving squad mates out of the game when it starts next one and having to back out and research all time

[wispy sonnet]

For the camera - insert the "DeployCam" object to the scene, select it and rotate it -90 on the X rotation axis to point it down. Its pointing straight ahead by default

[muted pilot]

Thank you! How do you guys know all this? I would kill for a documentation

[charred prism]

Does portal give as much xp as regular game does?

[wispy sonnet]

Example here: https://imgshare.cc/4ylshh4h

Just toying around

[blazing iris]

hello everyone, hope that someone can help me. I could nt play at lauch cause the licence fault from ea. Now i'm wondering why i dont get the xp tokens??

[muted pilot]

SO i made it so far like this: https://imgshare.cc/shp2tq14

The vehicles are spawning and also respawning like it set when they die.
I need to make it selectable on the deploy screen somehow...

[wispy sonnet]

That i haven't figured out yet, spent more time on the engine that the game haha!

[muted pilot]

i tried so far adding a spawn point as a sub object inside the vehicle spawner and the vehicle itself, i tried expanding the HQ boundries over the vehicle and the vehicle spawner...

[timber glacier]

Hello Someone i need help...I buy BF6 on Steam, Why the game not listed on EA Apps.. I'm struggling to sign in BF6 using my EA Account any suggestion?

[muted pilot]

Looks like this:

[austere ridge]

How to test a scene without publishing? "run project/scene" does nothing.

[red bay]

Getting some hope at last figuring something out in the map maker

[red bay]

How do you manage gamemodes? Do you know?

[muted pilot]

lmao no idea
I wish there was an example how conquest is built... I would love to recreate something out of it

[red bay]

I managed to get a script with gamemode and server size n everything but idk how to implement it

[muted pilot]

okay, nevermind, you dont need the actual vehicle object, the spawner is enough

[austere ridge]

Ah, save and start/host it directly from game.

[muted pilot]

you can host locally , just needs to be uploaded on portal

[feral prairie]

can you really fix your servers i cant play.. every server have some performance issues and slow motion internet is fine and game works fine only your server is so bad right now

i get all the time: two icons in yellow in the top left of my screen, One is a Circle Arrow with a x mark in the line, the other is what looks like three screens / windows

[sterile quarry]

Hello everyone! I'm having troubles starting a scene in Godot. I've re-installed the SDk twice now and checked all my drivers. Yet when I load a map, I get this: https://imgur.com/a/W3n3oOn. Anyone have some fixes I can try?

I used the project. godot and the portal setup button

[ashen axle]

anyone else portal restrictions not working? Ive restricted all Grenades for example because bots just spam smoke grenades but they still do even when restricted

[red bay]

tried moving about?

[sterile quarry]

Yes. When moving it starts flickering and bugging out in all sorts of shapes

[red bay]

hmm interesting

when you change to 2D does it show the map? or just flickering

[neat dragon]

Ah thanks for the update! Yeah I was also wondering about how I would go about splitting things into different files. And how the modlib thingy worked

Sad that we can't see output logs rn, that is really annoying

[sterile quarry]

It shows a grey empty canvas

[red bay]

I honestly barrely understand the app myself

[neat dragon]

Please do let me know if you figure out a good workflow for splitting/merging multiple files

[lyric aurora]

I wonder how long it will be until we get portal squared away…

[sterile quarry]

Fair, I'm sure I'll get it to work or a fix is out soon

[red bay]

I finally figured how to transfer the map from the godot to the portal website

[versed cedar]

It is, I'm trying to show some UI to make sure it works, but I can't even get the UI to pop up when a player is deployed and it's not working. At this point I'm starting to wonder if the editor is even working properly. Even using the block editor I can't get shit to pop up

[red bay]

just have to get the rules working now

anyone know if you can import json into godot?

[chrome marten]

The map editor is aggressively mediocre and could use a plethora of new features.

You can't remove many existing items, you cannot add assets from other maps, you cannot edit the terrain to fit your needs. There isn't a blank canvas either (apparently it's in the works?).

Many people have compared Portal to Halo's Forge but Infinite's version is so much less restrictive, letting you create maps from scratch from a large collection of assets that can be placed without restrictions.

I know this is BF Studios' first stab at something like this but they could definitely make the editor more powerful.

I understand that there's some sort of instancing going on with the map assets but that can also be done after a design is ready to publish! Get a list of all the assets that have copies and boom, instance them! I do have to admit that I have little understanding of how their system works. But I know that it IS possible.

[versed cedar]

Why do you want to import json into godot?

[red bay]

Doing that I can see how the normal gamemode is set up so I can replicate some parts like the deploy screen

[versed cedar]

You mean code wise or??

[red bay]

noo in spawnpoints and such on the maps themselves

[muted pilot]

Man, i dont understand why there is no documentation.. Or examples

[versed cedar]

I have no idea tbh, haven't been doing the spatial editing much, I've just been working on code stuff. But if you look inside of the mods/ folder in the SDK, there are a few example projects there and the tscn files are exports from godot, which you should be able to load up

[red bay]

where do I find example projects?

[shy bobcat]

Cant disable these Bot smokes ffs

[versed cedar]

There are. readme.html in the SDK root and mods/* holds the example mods. It's just not as detailed as we kinda need it to be.

[red bay]

I found a vehicle spawner nice

[versed cedar]

Wherever your SDK is located there is a mods/ folder. Those are example projects

[muted pilot]

like... im about to give up until there is more documentation... i just wanna make players to spawn in vehicles instead of on foot, how hard can it be?? lol

[versed cedar]

Check the AcePursuit example in the mods folder. That does it through code.

[muted pilot]

i need a full conquest example for this lol

[red bay]

I think there is a rule you can set so in instant they deploy they go into a vehicle

[round echo]

why cant we hosty say full yet there games that have 0 ppl in it but they still up

[hard finch]

this is funny to watch how gmod is still more evolved 20 yers later lol

[versed cedar]

Apples and oranges though. Engines back in the day were much more simple. Frostbite is incredibly complex. Honestly what they've done here is already insanely good

[red bay]

how did you get that square?

[muted pilot]

HQ_PlayerSpawner, thats default when you start editiing the map

[uncut jetty]

How can I make simple Team Deathmatch in portal? Is this a joke, you have to recreate the scoring and Team Deathmatch UI? It was much easier in Bf2042

[red bay]

OH

[split root]

what are the steps to test your custom map in-game before uploading to portal?

[hard finch]

I know but when you launch something and make it expect people do whatever they want or at least create map. You need to be sure the fondamental work.
With the tools today i think this is basis and we talk about EA not an random guys in his garage

[muted pilot]

you have to upload to test

[uncut jetty]

No you need to save it only

[muted pilot]

you gotta upload it anyway how ayou gonna test it else?

[versed cedar]

export it from godot > go to the portal editor > go to maps > add the base map that you changed > in the map rotation column click the trashcan to remove the spatial data. Then check "include base spatial data" and then upload the export you got from godot. Then save the experience and then you can play it

[uncut jetty]

But thats automatically in the background. The real upload is the publish with check

[muted pilot]

no idea what you talking about, i created the project, did all steps and now just changing the file in map rotation

[uncut jetty]

Anyone figured out how to display simply Team Stats in portal? I want simple Team Deathmatch

[main agate]

has anyone been able to open a portal server recently or just game quota exceeded?

[split root]

@versed cedar portal refuses to save the custom map at this time, with some generic error. They also mention to test the map before uploading it to portal, so I suspect they mean before publishing (which is different than uploadin?)

is uploading spatials actually working for anyone here today?

[muted pilot]

ye, im uploading non stop

[split root]

great, does anyone know what the error "Unable to create experience" actually means? and is 181MB a resonable size for the spatial json?

[neat dragon]

Did you remove the collision mesh that you created for the terrain?

[split root]

huh. i didn't. will try that now

[neat dragon]

I had the same problem. You need to make sure there aren't any children of the statics when you export. That made my json 160MB too

[split root]

whats the base size i should expect?

it would be cool to gather these gotchas under a provisional wiki

[neat dragon]

Like 10 KB for a mostly empty map

[red bay]

I got the damn deploy camera to work. lets goooooooooooo

[split root]

@red bay any considerations for it besides rotating it to point downwards?

[red bay]

no, just have it pointing down

[languid token]

is there any way to see next unlocks in BF6 UI? other than clicking through all classess and weapons?

[lofty finch]

Has the server capacity increased? I really want to host one today with a friend

[red bay]

now I just have to get the spawnpoints to work

[muted pilot]

figured out how to center it on the map?

[red bay]

it looked good when I went in, but I can't spawn though

[split root]

i can confirm that the collision node was causing problems.

@neat dragon thanks!

[tawdry harness]

Anyone know where the best place to submit feedback and suggestions for Portal?

[split root]

ok, map is created in portal, but unpublished. shouldn;t I be able to test it now before publishing?

[neat dragon]

Yes, just save it in portal. Then wait a few minutes for it to show up in the game under your experiences

[split root]

yesp, it took a couple of minutes for it to show up in-game

overview map looks great. deployment works

[red bay]

I'm not getting that square that showed up for you. Even though I have spawnpoints

[muted pilot]

you gotta define them in HQ_playerSpawn properties

[neat dragon]

How did you get the deploy camera to work? Mine is at a weird angle

[muted pilot]

X -90°

[split root]

camera must be looking down

we really need a wiki

[neat dragon]

Ooh I need to place the DeployCam.tscn file? I didn't have one of those at all

[split root]

check the /mods folder for level setup examples (pin this comment)

[red bay]

want a screenshot?

[neat dragon]

sure!

[red bay]

sent it, that's how I got it to work

[neat dragon]

Ooh that makes sense. I'll try that, ty!

[red bay]

define the spawnpoints?

[split root]

ok, now using 2 hq team spawns, how do you change your default team?

[neat dragon]

@versed cedar Did you find a way to iterate on code quickly? Having to close the server, upload the new code file in portal, then go and start a new server, and then load in - takes forever 😅

[versed cedar]

Nah, that's the only way I think.

I can't even get the simpelest of code to work though. I'm starting to think either my custom experience is fucked, or my account is fucked, or something like that because the code simply doesn't run.

[muted pilot]

I suggest you load up a default map again and see how its structured. YOu have to have qn HQ_Spawner and you gotta put the spawns under it. Then you gotta go to your Inspector of HQ and add infrantry spawns:
https://imgshare.cc/we5onpn6

[split root]

i doubt we will ever get a hot-reload feature

i have 2 team hq spawn points defined, one is working. how can i test that the other one is also working?

[uncut jetty]

Anyone figured out how to display Team Scores with icon and score and a progress bar?

And why is AddUIText not properly working? As a message I added "Team 1: {}/50" and GetGameModeScore(GetTeam(1)). The Score is not updating

[muted pilot]

man they really need to publish the default conquest example. i just want conquest with some minor changes

[uncut jetty]

Yeah and team deathmatch

There are no templates for the default modes

[versed cedar]

Has anyone here gotten any of the custom TypeScript coding to work? If so, could someone test out this code in their experience?

export function OnPlayerDeployed(eventPlayer: mod.Player): void {
    const msg = mod.Message('Hello World');
    mod.DisplayNotificationMessage(msg, eventPlayer);
}

I have no idea why, but this shit is just straight up not working for me.

[neat dragon]

Try const msg = mod.Message(eventPlayer); instead. That will print the player's name. Custom strings like "Hello world" seems like they have to be declared in the strings.json file

[dry mantle]

I have not been able to actually get this to work in game, it always shows the default cam for me

[lofty fox]

I don't have it working for me either. I think it's currently bugged

[versed cedar]

what the fuck 🙄 goddamnit, that was the problem the entire time. Cheers man. That means no custom strings what so ever in the TS code?

[split root]

i tested about 30 "learn to fly" maps and they are all broken

[neat dragon]

Create a file called BasicTemplate.strings.json with e.g. this content:

{
  "hello": "Hello, {}",
  "yay": "Yay",
  "nay": "Nay",
  "slot": "Slot {}"
}

These are your custom strings! The {} are for your custom arguments, like player name. Then in the code you can use mod.stringkeys to access them:

export function OnPlayerDeployed(eventPlayer: mod.Player): void {
    const msg = mod.Message(mod.stringkeys.hello, eventPlayer);
    mod.DisplayNotificationMessage(msg, eventPlayer);
}

Then on portal make sure you upload both files. The text strings too:
https://files.vapid.li/24/msedge_d6XLMG8vWN.png

[lofty fox]

I created capture points on firestorm, was trying to implement custom logic for capturing the flags since those are not working either. The capture points are all showing up as A, even the sectors 😅

[neat dragon]

That should print "Hello, VapidLinus" for me etc

[versed cedar]

Yeah got that figured out, I am still wondering about internal names for container elements etc. though, do those work? Because I tried those as well and that wasn't working, gonna toy with that now

[red bay]

it says OUTPUT_DIR is missing and is an required argument, why how and where

[neat dragon]

wdym with container elements?

[versed cedar]

UI Container elements. Using ParseUI for example

[dry mantle]

I was trying to finish this KOTH gamemode and map I'm making, but I'm about to throw in the towel. Its all basically brute force/trial & error to get things working with the lack of documentation, but then poor logs and possible bugs make it so you dont even know where to start when debugging.

Not to mention even if you get all of it working, good luck hosting it because of the server limits.

Portal servers being limited to 30 ticks and no xp for custom modes (cant use default gamemodes for custom maps) sucks too

[split root]

editing the portal map while in-game will crash the game

[red bay]

anyone know of issue with exporting map? it says ```export_tscn.py: error: the following arguments are required: OUTPUT_DIR

[shut kiln]

Have you been able to get the 'Game' preview mode to work where you can test the map in the editor? mine is just a gray screen. I dont understand how I am supposed to develop something if i have to wait to publish and get approved before I can see if its working...?

[neat dragon]

Lmk if you figure something out!

[neat dragon]

You don't have to wait for it to be published. You just have to save it and it will show up in "your experiences" ingame when you go to host a server

[shut kiln]

thanks, i wasn't sure if i had to wait

still, its a bit of a faff. Every portal server I have joined seems broken too... map not working and spawn in the middle of the map. Have you been able to fix that?

[lofty fox]

If you move the HQs you can pick where to spawn

[neat dragon]

It is a faff yeah. I think people just haven't figured out the portal tools yet and publish broken stuff

[shut kiln]

I wasn't able to spawn on my own map, do i need to set them manually?

[neat dragon]

did you remove the HQs ? I can spawn on my HQ

[shut kiln]

Nope, just left everything default. all i did was add some new VEC spawns to try and make a heli training map lol

I see what you mean, the HQ spawns are in the middle of the map by default

[hallow ether]

Anyone knows, how to debug or start scripts without opening Portal > Edit > Going to Scripts,.. > Insert script > Save > Open Battlefield > do some other stuff > Drink coffee > Talk with mother > cleaning the room > Start a local server with the Portal-Entry?

Where is the method to run/debug scripts/godot-thinks locally? Where is console, where i find errors on client-side?

How complicated do you need it? YES!

[muted pilot]

I usually save the files and start the local server immidieately, you don't have to wait

[dry mantle]

Thats basically the only (painful) workflow rn..

[hallow ether]

My game client crashed, but i dont know why. But it's because of my mod. And the workflow is so miserable that you can't even find out what exceptions were thrown.

Where can you find a log file for the client?

[dry mantle]

Its not a true map/level editor in the sense that you can quickly jump in and out of testing the map, because its been done through Godot. Thats why you need to launch into the game to test it.

Imagine they had a in-game map builder where you could drag and drop assets...

With the current sdk limitations, idk why they didnt just go that route.

[muted pilot]

All I need is a damn conquest example... Like I don't understand why we don't have default modes already in the SDK... I just wanna remove 2 capture zones, make other bigger and make a vehicle only conquest. It can't be that hard right? RIGHT?

[versed cedar]

Well I mean you can leave battlefield open 😛 just exit out of the server and reboot the server everytime you make a change 😛 But other than that, no there's no quicker way we know of right now.

As for debugging scripts, use the code from the BasicTemplate;

// Displays a notification-type Message on the top-right of the screen for 6 seconds. Useful for communicating game state/info or debugging.
    const exampleMessage = mod.Message('example');
    mod.DisplayNotificationMessage(exampleMessage);

NOTE: Do not put raw strings into the message, instead use mod.stringkeys.<key> and make sure you have a .strings.json file with { "<key>": "<value>" } uploaded as well. Otherwise it won't work.

There is no console as of right now. There is no way to find errors as far as I've found. It's trial and error.

[oak stump]

same issue here, trying to host a server but it says global quota exceeded :/

[hallow ether]

I restart the server each changes, because i think its not refreshing automatically.

And a simple mod.Message will never appear on simple onPlayerJoinment. And no fucking logs will given.

[muted pilot]

I want dedicated servers back. This is trash (good idea, but badly implemented)

[hallow ether]

The docs are funny. "detailed in this Portal 101 guide". Yay. Nope.

[versed cedar]

I got that shit working!!! WOOOOOHHH

Things I learned:

1. you can add an import * as modlib from 'modlib' at the top of your TS file to use any of the functions inside of modlib.
2. You can use strings inside of your code, HOWEVER, you can only do so for strings that are used internally in code. If you want to show stuff to the player, you need the .strings.json
3. You can make functions that are otherwise not async async without issue. So OnPlayerDeployed you can just make it async and it'll work still.
4. I still have fuck all idea why my old code didn't work, but my current code works fine. But it is what it is.

I have no idea why the code is so damn finnicky, but it is what it is.

[versed cedar]

Then try your code out onplayerdeployed or ongoingglobal or whatever. Once you know it works you can move it to onplayerjoined

[neat dragon]

Sorry I feel stupid but can you show me an example of 2. what you mean? 😅

[winter meteor]

Are you guys trying to work out some scripts for showing playername when player has joined the server?

[versed cedar]

Yeah no worries, so here's a UI element that pops up when you start the game (copied from the AcePursuit code and tweaked)

    const headerWidget = modlib.ParseUI(
        {
            type: "Container",  // Is absolutely fine
            size: [150, 125],
            position: [0, 50],
            name: "start_countdown_",   // Is absolutely fine
            anchor: mod.UIAnchor.TopCenter,
            bgFill: mod.UIBgFill.Blur,
            bgColor: [0.2, 0.2, 0.3],
            bgAlpha: 0.9,
            playerId: eventPlayer,
            visible: true,
            children: [
                {
                    type: "Text",   // Is absolutely fine
                    name: "start_countdown_text",   // Is absolutely fine
                    size: [100, 125],
                    position: [0, 0],
                    anchor: mod.UIAnchor.Center,
                    bgFill: mod.UIBgFill.None,
                    textColor: bfBlueColor,
                    textAnchor: mod.UIAnchor.Center,
                    textLabel: mod.Message("hello world"),  // Is **NOT** fine, you *need* to use `mod.stringkeys.` here
                    textSize: 85
                }
            ]
        }
    );

[shy bobcat]

Fix stupid portal and the smoke shit

[versed cedar]

export async function OnPlayerDeployed(eventPlayer: mod.Player): Promise<void> {
    const msg = mod.Message(eventPlayer);
    mod.DisplayNotificationMessage(msg, eventPlayer);
}

Does it on player deploy. Just change the function and you'll have to grab all the players in the server and you'll tell them I think. Not sure if you'll see a mod.Message() addressed at you when you join the server. You could try

[neat dragon]

Ooooh I get it now, okay thanks!!

[winter meteor]

Nice one! Are you guys just exploring scripts or trying to build a gamemode?

[versed cedar]

I got an end goal to build something fun, but currently just trying to figure out how shit works 😂

[prisma bridge]

People are trying to achieve different things, but the main issue is that we don't have any documentation

I'm stuck on trying to get the vehicle icons to show up on the deploy screen

[versed cedar]

and @hallow ether just a heads up to both of you;
mod.DisplayNotificationMessage DOES get shown OnPlayerJoinGame. You see it as soon as you hit the spawn screen.

[winter meteor]

I'm just trying to make a 1 flag conquest between the two HQ spawns on abbasid, but really struggling with even getting the capture area set up XD

[main agate]

just keep spammin, took like 10 mins but worked eventually

[hallow ether]

Nope. I think it was my settings (HUD disabled, on Hardcore), but nope. No HUD messages will be shown. Currently the Game will crash, but i only using simple output:

export async function OnGameModeStarted() {
    const msg = mod.Message('started');
    mod.DisplayNotificationMessage(msg);
}

export function OnPlayerJoinGame(eventPlayer: mod.Player): void {
    const msg = mod.Message('joined');
    mod.DisplayNotificationMessage(msg, eventPlayer);

}

export function OnPlayerDeployed(eventPlayer: mod.Player): void {
    const msg = mod.Message('deployed');
    mod.DisplayNotificationMessage(msg, eventPlayer);
}

export function OnPlayerDied( eventPlayer: mod.Player, eventOtherPlayer: mod.Player, eventDeathType: mod.DeathType, eventWeaponUnlock: mod.WeaponUnlock): void {
    const msg = mod.Message('died');
    mod.DisplayNotificationMessage(msg, eventPlayer);
}

export function OngoingGlobal(): void {
    // Game Loop?

        "de-DE": "died (DE)"
    },
    "ending": {
        "en-US": "ending (EN)",
        "de-DE": "ending (DE)"
    }
}

[versed cedar]

We really should make a wiki or something for the coding stuff we are figuring out, but idk what the best way would be for that. I was considering starting to make YT shorts or videos as well, but idk

[versed cedar]

You are using the strings directly in the mod.Message, that's why it's not working. In your mod.Message use mod.stringkeys.<keyname> instead.

[shut kiln]

me too, please let me know if you figure this out

[hallow ether]

No, im using it not. Its only the reference!

[shut kiln]

Also struggling to get the vehichle spawns persistent, seems like once they are destroyed they don't respawn?

[hallow ether]

And yes, i know what you mean: Using mod.Message('ending'); instead of mod.Message(mod.stringkeys.ending); BUT that is not the problem. No messages will be displayed - irrelevant if its from stringkeys or whaterver

[rich venture]

did you guys received to xp boost for the EA app issue?

[shut kiln]

can i increase the visibility of the map in he preview? I would like to put heli's on the existing heli pads but can't see them in the 3D editor

[versed cedar]

Yep you're right, my bad. I just learned something new...again, thank you!

[rose quiver]

I switched off all hud except ally identification...doesnt seem to do anything

[obsidian bobcat]

Good morning everyone. Question about the SDK editor...
Should I be setting the values for player count, team count, general.max-game-size is the scripting part?

Whenever I import it to Portal web browser, I get errors about the team count and it never appears in "my experiences" in game.

[brazen turtle]

I'm an EA app user and did not get the booster compensation for launch day, what do?

[hallow ether]

Try to set types like number

[dim brook]

me neither

[versed cedar]

Don't know if you realized this yet, but you can actually use output strings as well...ish.

So in the example of Barbiepuppenpressfehler they are using mod.Message('ending') for example, but they have a key inside of their .strings.json that is called ending, and this does work. You basically need to use either mod.Message('<key name>'); or mod.Message(mod.stringkeys.<key name>);

[hallow ether]

mod.Message is generally not working!

[versed cedar]

It is, it does work. It appear in the bottom right corner.

[hallow ether]

No its not appear.

I don't know what's so hard to understand when I say “NOTHING is displayed.”

[cold shuttle]

Fix the ass servers ea

[versed cedar]

It does 😛 https://imgur.com/a/2wWmjgR

That's literally just this script:

export async function OnPlayerDeployed(eventPlayer: mod.Player): Promise<void> {
    const msg = mod.Message(eventPlayer);
    mod.DisplayNotificationMessage(msg, eventPlayer);
}

[hallow ether]

Okay, thanks. But why isn't displayed by mine? I've had using your lines 1:1 for testing

[versed cedar]

Just doing some testing, give me a couple of minutes

[hallow ether]

The difference is: You using async, mine is sync (but i had use it directly from the sources of SDK)

[dry mantle]

There is a subreddit, r/Battlefield6PortalSDK, but its new and without any content yet

[obsidian bobcat]

When it comes to setting player and team counts, should I be doing that via the scripting or let the portal browser handle that during the import and config befroe publishing?

[hallow ether]

Nope, i think the basic informations comes from the settings

[obsidian bobcat]

ok, great. thank you.
I am working with AI to write this out faster and it keeps trying to manage the player/teams. Portal site allows the import, and publish, but nothing ever shows up in my experiences

[versed cedar]

Okay, so your issue is actually the way you are using mod.Message.

In your .strings.json you have this;

"joined": {
        "en-US": "joined (EN)",
        "de-DE": "joined (DE)"
    },

But then in your code you do:

mod.Message('joined');

You are expecting the game to go "oh you want to show the joined string, but then localized to either german language or english language". But the game doesn't actually do that. The game doesn't seem to have that feature baked into the mod.Message function.

When you do mod.Message it literally tries to do this:

DisplayNotificationMessage("{
        "en-US": "joined (EN)",
        "de-DE": "joined (DE)"
    }", eventPlayer); 

Which does nothing because it's not a valid string. If you want to do localization, you're gonna have to somehow get the player's language config (I have no idea if you actually can, you're gonna have to look at the index.d.ts to see if that's even possible), and then in your OnPlayerJoinGame function you do something like this;

const language = eventPlayer.getDisplayLanguageCode(); 
let stringKey; 
if(language == 'en') stringKey = "joined.en-US"; 
if(language == 'de') stringKey = "joined.de-DE";
const msg = mod.Message(stringKey);
mod.DisplayNotificationMessage(msg); 

note: This is pseudo code, I don't know the actual function for getting the language code, adjust as necessary based on what you find

[dense wing]

Can we create portal games mode easily with mobile like in bf2042?

[prisma bridge]

yes

[versed cedar]

Ohhh good shout, lemme join

[dense wing]

Is the game worth it for 80€ ? Im quite worried because fr that expansive af for a game

[raw cape]

100% worth it

[hallow ether]

But it calls internally toString and its a valid string. I think, it should have at least displayed the JSON, though.

[obsidian bobcat]

Is it worth the price, and that really is going to be the common price for most AAA games going forward.

[dense wing]

And is it still worth it if im only playing portal mode?

[silk crest]

someone else got issues with portal on playstation?

[versed cedar]

I'm not sure about the internals, but yeah it's defo not showing the json as a string. There's probably some other tomfoolery going on behind the scenes where it just quietly dumps it (or it logs an erorr and we can't see it)

[prisma bridge]

That would probably make it more worth it tbh, the portal mode seems to have some insane potential

[hard finch]

Yeah the base price is worht, game is good. Not excellent but you don't feel ripped

[dense wing]

Not excellent? Whats bad in it,

[celest oak]

Where is the LFG service for BF6? Trying to join a highly communicative squad and roll some games!

[prisma bridge]

Subjectively, it's absolutely crazy good quality considering it's ea and the battlefield series has seen some low times the last years.
Objectively, it's very close to being worth the full AAA price. It has some flaws, but it doesn't have many of the usual issues that releases has these days

[silk crest]

why is portal locked on PS5 ???

[versed cedar]

Actually come to think of it, maybe what's happening is that we aren't seeing the JSON because the game, before rendering it to the UI does some sort of regex or whatever to replace stuff between {} into some sort of parameter or whatever? I think I saw some entries in .strings.json files that include {} to insert a variable, a bit like sprintf

[prisma bridge]

That makes sense. I imagine it goes through a parser function, so EA can verify any sanitize anything shown to players

[hard finch]

This is a classic battlfield, no risk where taken
And some poor decision from 2042 are still here
But like @prisma bridge said, they come from a long way

[dense wing]

Sooool is the game same lvl as2042 or MUCH better?

[hard finch]

Much better xD

like an upgraded bf3

[dense wing]

Do you know if the game runs 60 fps on ps5?

[prisma bridge]

I know that it's optimized really well. I don't own a ps5 myself so I can't answer you directly, sorry

[cedar anchor]

I heard that it can runs 4k 60fps on ps5 pro but idk

[dense wing]

Okay thanks

[prisma bridge]

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case, although maybe with some dips in intense scenes

[neat dragon]

@versed cedar Hey would you mind giving me some feedback? I created a test mod that just shows you what inventory slot you have equipped every 6 seconds and it turned out to be pretty annoying. There was no easy way to get the active inventory slot, and to show the message to the player I have to create a string definition for every slot. I feel like there should be a way to just get the name of an enum but idk. Would appreciate if you could look and tell me if I'm doing something dumb 😅

[shut kiln]

Does anyone know what the object name is for the repair station on firestorm? Trying to get the re-arm/repair working on a custom map

[jade hedge]

long lists of code being posted. Looks like ya'll cooking. I'll leave it to the pros 🤣

[austere ingot]

Just downloaded the SDK, looks like using an outdated version of godot.

[prisma bridge]

Wouldn't is be possible to move the wait call into the while loop and set it to 6 seconds?

[versed cedar]

Hmmmm, I mean you can iterrate over enums, so at least teh TS side of the code should be fine, but yeah it might be that you can't mod.Message() the value without also adding it to the string? It certainly looks like it is. I can try remaking it here in a sec. See what I can make happen

[neat dragon]

Aah ye the timing loop code could use some work. But I want a reference to the "now" time anyway for future reference in other code I'll write. I could improve it by instead of using "ongoingPlayer", I could just iterate over all players in TickUpdate every 6 seconds ye

[prisma bridge]

Ah gotcha 🙂

[austere ingot]

I'm looking at the code in question here, and my question is, What's the intended behavior and what is currently happening/not happening?

[neat dragon]

Ye lmk what you find! I'm not sure there is a way to iterate over enums in javascript tbh. But could be cleaner if I put it in an array manually and iterate over that ig!

[prisma bridge]

There IS a way to iterate enums in Typescript, but it ain't pretty

[neat dragon]

Better than this?

  
const slots: InventorySlots[] = [
        InventorySlots.ClassGadget,
        InventorySlots.GadgetOne,
        InventorySlots.GadgetTwo,
        InventorySlots.MeleeWeapon,
        InventorySlots.MiscGadget,
        InventorySlots.PrimaryWeapon,
        InventorySlots.SecondaryWeapon,
        InventorySlots.Throwable
    ];

function getActiveInventorySlots(player: mod.Player): InventorySlots | null {
    for (const slot of slots) {
        if (mod.IsInventorySlotActive(player, slot)) {
            return slot;
        }
    }
    return null;
}

[prisma bridge]

Yeah, you have to use Object .keys(<entire enum goes here>) I believe. I can test in a minute

[marsh pine]

i feel like portal should remove the "persistant servers" after it has been inactive for too long

[echo wadi]

Agreed

[neat dragon]

Ooh I thought Object.keys only worked on records

[shut kiln]

Is it possible to import a default scene/map from the standard game to edit instead of building from scratch? It would help me understand the asset types being used.

e.g can i take firestorm conquest and edit that?

[prisma bridge]

Enums compile into objects at runtime in Typescript. That info should help you immensely:)

[austere ingot]

I think I see what you were intending to do. I'm assuming it's causing some sort of stack overflow type situation? The time stuff in typescript returns milliseconds. Instead of dividing by 1000, try multiplying.

nvm disregard

[neat dragon]

Oh no the code works great. Just want to know if there are better ways to do what I'm doing

[austere ingot]

I'm not seeing any ways to improve.

[bronze dock]

@proud trellis and all the DICE users in here: The truth is that BF6 is worse than 2042, which nearly killed DICE, and instead of learning from this, you just reskinned 2042 and called it BF6. Where did the real DICE programmers go? Take it from a long standing BF veteran that the BF6 engine is nowhere near the quality of the BF4 engine, the vehicles are cheap knock-off's of BF4 with no quality to them at all. The 2042 tanks were better, and the BF6 aircraft have no aerodynamics to them, it's like flying an oil tanker. This is cheap and disappointing, you should all be ashamed to put a DICE name on BF6. You have also killed the BF franchise with this, you won't come back from it, the BF that veterans like me knew, seems gone forever.

[austere ingot]

Something that bothers me, does TS and JS really use !== to represent a not function? with two equals signs?

[neat dragon]

Two equal signs is a truthy/falsy comparison while three equal signs is a strict comparison. Javascript sucks lol

[austere ingot]

"Javascript sucks" don't have to tell me twice.

[neat dragon]

"" == 0 is true while "" === 0 is false

[prisma bridge]

also true + false = 1

[austere ingot]

Did a leet code exercise where I had to sort an array of numbers. Found out through one of my teachers that Javascript treats every number like a string unless specifically told otherwise. Which is stupid. In what plane of existence does counting go 1, 10, 12, 2, 20, 3

[marsh pine]

true+false =1 is pretty normal

[neat dragon]

no, that's insane. Any reasonable language wouldn't allow that lol

[versed cedar]

Okay, so here's code I got working with this;
.ts

export async function OnPlayerDeployed(eventPlayer: mod.Player): Promise<void> {
    for (const key of Object.keys(mod.InventorySlots).filter(k => isNaN(Number(k)))) {
        const msg = mod.Message("inventory." + key);
        mod.DisplayNotificationMessage(msg, eventPlayer);
        await mod.Wait(6);
    }
}

.strings.json

{
  "inventory": {
    "ClassGadget": "Class Gadget",
    "GadgetOne": "Gadget One",
    "GadgetTwo": "Gadget Two",
    "MeleeWeapon": "Melee",
    "MiscGadget": "Misc",
    "PrimaryWeapon": "Primary",
    "SecondaryWeapon": "Secondary",
    "Throwable": "Throwable"
  },
}

This loops over the inventory slots and waits 6 seconds after showing to let the pop up disappear first. You can adapt this to do what you were doing with the check which inventory slot the player has active.

The info from @prisma bridge here is what you needed. Basically when you have an enum like this;

export enum InventorySlots {
  ClassGadget,
  GadgetOne,
  GadgetTwo,
  MeleeWeapon,
  MiscGadget,
  PrimaryWeapon,
  SecondaryWeapon,
  Throwable
}

It gets compiled to this code:

{
  0: "ClassGadget",
  1: "GadgetOne",
  2: "GadgetTwo",
  3: "MeleeWeapon",
  4: "MiscGadget",
  5: "PrimaryWeapon",
  6: "SecondaryWeapon",
  7: "Throwable",
  ClassGadget: 0,
  GadgetOne: 1,
  GadgetTwo: 2,
  MeleeWeapon: 3,
  MiscGadget: 4,
  PrimaryWeapon: 5,
  SecondaryWeapon: 6,
  Throwable: 7
}

So you use Object.keys to grab the keys, then filter out the entries you don't need using .filter() and you end up with a key constant that has values like ClassGadget, GadgetOne, GadgetTwo

[marsh pine]

wait

[austere ingot]

Internally, most C based languages would probably treat True as a value of 1, and False as a value of 0, so it makes sense.

[versed cedar]

Whoops sorry folks, wall of text xD my b

[bronze dock]

your all wasting your time tinkering with these scripts, nobody is going to play your custom server, and you can't even host a server right now, they've run out of capacity

[neat dragon]

Omg this is great! Looks like exactly what I wanted. I'll try it out, thanks! :))

[noble jasper]

so i put the project.godot into godot. but i dont see an option to start editing bf6 experience

[austere ingot]

"Damn, that's a lot of words...Too bad I'm not readin em"

-Duke Nukem

[versed cedar]

Lol xD

[raw cape]

Portal mode depends on the experience you want. You're either making your own stuff or relying on others to know what they're doing. Plus having good active admins that aren't corrupted

[bronze dock]

less portal options for BF6 than 2042, just another railroad

[dry mantle]

That is a fair take, but myb EA will get it together and sort out the portal hosting issues within the next few weeks..

[bronze dock]

thats what we thought in 2042 when it bombed

[austere ingot]

I just realized to ask, does Portal have docs?

[echo wadi]

Why are you in a battlefield discord trying to discourage people from playing a game they’re enjoying lol

[marsh pine]

how does these words exit your mouth

[bronze dock]

time to wake up and smell the garbage

[dry mantle]

They are a rare commoditity rn

[prisma bridge]

There are some poorly written webpages, and a README in the SDK download. But it's basically nothing

[noble jasper]

chatgpt written code > illegal or usefull

[hallow ether]

Take a look at how they work and what the backend will look like.

[dry mantle]

Im spinning up a wiki rn so we can start collaborating on our findings.

A lot of it is reverse engineering from the examples in the SDK's mod folder, or just trial and error yolo

[versed cedar]

There's a subreddit someone made already that we could use for this. r/Battlefield6PortalSDK

[austere ingot]

Don't ask how, but I think I broke something.

[peak flicker]

Sorry if this has been asked before, Is the portal feature currently not working I’ve had an auto clicker set up for the past hour to press host and no luck so far

[jade hedge]

chatgpt - Make a naval map for me pls

[hallow ether]

Using claude, its better for programming/code

[bronze dock]

good luck... they under resourced the launch, AGAIN

[versed cedar]

You can try using AI, but the implementation of this typescript and the library is fairly unusual and uncommon. You're gonna have to feed it a lot of context in order for it to be remotely accurate. Also, I think a lot of devs, if not most devs, do use AI in their day-to-day workflow, so not illegal

[brazen turtle]

Grok, remake the entirety of Naval Strike

[bronze dock]

THIS ^^

[austere ingot]

I think I'mma wait before trying anything with Portal. Kind of hard to do anything when there's polygons going wild on my screen.

[prisma bridge]

I just tried to launch a custom game using both regular "host" and "host locally", and both works for me
Where are you located? I'm in Norway

[austere ingot]

With nearly 3,000 unrecognized UIDs

[jade hedge]

In theory we should be able to make water maps cos you can swim on the manhattan bridge and empire state maps. Just gotta wait til at least the 28th for them to bring the BR boats over to portal

[dry mantle]

Yeah it was my buddy who made it. The plan is to make the subreddit the main hub for news, discussion, and weekly help threads, then link it to a GitHub repo where we’ll host the actual wiki, example files, and reference docs.

Keeps the info public, organized, and version-controlled while still letting anyone contribute.

[bronze dock]

Think about the Naval strike maps: LOST ISLAND > NANSHA STRIKE > WAVE BREAKER > OP MORTAR then tell me if anything in BF6 compares to the quality of these maps... anyone??

[echo wadi]

Is it possible to write rule set that will change the game player size and map type after a round ends, based on how many people are in the round?

[austere ingot]

Why must I break everything? 😒

[neat dragon]

https://files.vapid.li/24/bf6 platforms.mp4

Aw heck yes you can spawn and move objects dynamically at runtime!! But nay, you don't "follow" them horizontally when you stand on them :(

[prisma bridge]

It would be really nice with a proper wiki

[jade hedge]

Woah woah woah. Why is op mortar at the bottom of the list?

[bronze dock]

lol was not listed in any order, otherwise it would be at the top, followed by Lost Island

[versed cedar]

Ahhh nice okay

This portal trash is pure comedy at this point will be the death of battlefield

[bronze dock]

I just feel like i'm staring into a bomb crater wondering WTF happened to BF

[prisma bridge]

Can you guys make a chat together and spam each other with shit posts there instead?

[bronze dock]

can't even host a real server anymore

[manic dust]

Legit you can’t even allow a change team option in portal…

Portal is a fancy word for play alone and stat pad vs AI

[peak flicker]

sorry for the reactions miss click, im on the South African servers, ill try restart the game

[marsh pine]

just block them lmao

[manic dust]

No we need more people shitposting 24/7 so we get results

[bronze dock]

i've got a clan with dozens of members, not being able to play together on 1 team because of that team swap BS, i mean that has killed our clan and community

[hallow ether]

Dont be shine!

[manic dust]

Same and we can’t even play without bots bc you need 32 to start a game RIP

[versed cedar]

I don't think there is. But there is some functions for reading when raycasts hit or miss...MAYBE those get triggered when you fire at something, but I have no idea in all honesty. It's a bit of a longshot (pun fully intended)

[bronze dock]

i noticed the same problem when i set the server to 32 players. if you set it to 48 or 64 players the bots will start the round

[hard finch]

not sure, this is crazy how they don't give a fuck about weapon lock

[manic dust]

Yea we did that but that is only fun for 5 minutes killing stupid AI standing in front of you

[versed cedar]

I was just writing up a bunch of the things I figured out to do with the mod.Message() fn for a new topic on the reddit, want me to hold off until the wiki is up or ...?

[bronze dock]

This is why i said earlier that the 2042 portal works BETTER than the BF6 one, with more options, including 200% damage without losing XP

[hard finch]

The only thing needed was to add a proper option and they hide in their fucking menu

[bronze dock]

The worse thing is they take off with all the vehicles, and the AI code balances the gameplay so the ticket count balances. BF veterans will note that games are not supposed to be so balanced, 1 team always dominates, its normal.

[manic dust]

This was just super rushed and it shows. The menus are awful the stats page provides no info. The server browser is an actual joke. Like why do the feel the need to redo things that were a million times better in previous battlefields

[jade hedge]

I think it was fully intentional to not market BF6 portal. That way as most people get round to checking it out properly in the coming months after playing enough multiplayer then there should hopefully be some updates to it

[neat dragon]

Yeah I saw the raycast APIs. I wanted to cast a raycast when you shoot but I can't find a "shoot" event. For now I am checking every frame if a player switches to their secondary weapon and using that as the trigger for when spawning the raycast

[dry mantle]

Its all good you can post it, can always be added to the wiki after.

Realistically the way the wiki will grow is half through proper pull requests and then the other half mods/approved contrubitors copying good stuff over from reddit/discord to the wiki

[glass acorn]

Anyone else having trouble not being able to host a server due to server capacity

[tulip storm]

I made gta 6 in battlefield

[bronze dock]

all of us mate

[viscid goblet]

I was able to host mine locally for a quick test

[tulip storm]

so frustrating. Even at 5 am this morning still problamatic

[viscid goblet]

As opposed to 5am tonight?

[glass acorn]

I tried to host one before I went to work around that time so my wife can learn the game

[tulip storm]

SPAM THE HOST BUTTON TO PUSH THROUGH, AND LOAD

If it doesnt work after 60 seconds, try again another time

[prisma bridge]

I got it working a couple minutes ago myself. There was another guy from a different part of the world that didn't, so I guess location has something to do with it

[tulip storm]

such a shame man. I get it they have unexpected player counts but its getting ridiculous

[viscid goblet]

Its launch weekend... everyone and their nan is trying to play atm, give it a week and itll be fine

[marsh pine]

the problem is everyone enables the persistent server with their garbage mode

no offence to anyone but seriously, tons of bot modes with 0 pop

[glass acorn]

I do remember when bf2042 came out the same thing was happening due to xp farming

[kindred junco]

if you dont like bf6 you dont like battlefield. This is the most fun ive had in a battlefield since bf3 and the bad company games

[bronze dock]

To steal our money of course. Its like buying a brand new pair of Nike shoes only to find out that you got conned with cheap chinese knock offs

[wanton kettle]

Can someone help me. My server has ppl yet it shows my servers empty on the browser

[versed cedar]

I GOT IT!

So what you can do is check every frame is a player is firing;

const isFiring = mod.GetSoldierState(player, mod.SoldierStateBool.IsFiring);

It comes from those SoldierState<x> enums

[manic dust]

That’s so not true man. I love the actual gameplay but I think everything else about the game is trash. Portal sucks I can’t play with my friends. Playing vs bots is so dumb just take bots out of the game completely. And rework every menu and system outside actually playing the game

[glass acorn]

I do the bot lobbies with full xp but I get what u mean I'm fine with people joining my server until it gets to only real people in the server

[neat dragon]

OMG YES THANK YOU!! 💚

[manic dust]

If you had a proper server browser and no bots a group of 10 friends would be able to populate a server with ease. But now with quick play and portal being separate we get no players so it will forever be a bot xp farm

[glass acorn]

What about people that like pve mixed with pvp

[versed cedar]

There had to have been a way to detect that, there's no way you'd not have that as an event somehow 😛

[manic dust]

Bro the bots just stand in front of you if that’s what you like go target range?

[kindred junco]

The only reason bots are in the game is because people were constantly complaining about near empty servers in bfv and 2042. almost every other fps does it. Bots are fine.

[bronze dock]

on top of this, the 4 man party system of teaming up, players should come and go into a server as they like, and play with their friends at any time, not have to matchmake the whole party into a server and not be able to play with more than 4 friends, this is nerffing of the original teamplay style of BF

[manic dust]

Bc the new system starts a new server when you q up…. It doesn’t put you in a game in progress

[bronze dock]

#notmybattlefield

[manic dust]

They created the stupid problem of empty servers

[viscid goblet]

i've joined several games that are already in progress... via bot the server browser and the matchmaking...

[kindred junco]

Same here.

[manic dust]

You guys have some serious goggles on right noW.

[viscid goblet]

Rinek, if you dont like it so much refund it and go play something else, yes there are SOME issues but overall this is a massive improvement on the last 2 releases

[kindred junco]

You’ve been playing it for almost 5 hours according to your discord profile, why are you playing it just to complain

[dreamy heron]

there are like 20 empty servers showing 0/32 or whatever in portal browser. they should add if no players are in sdrver for more than 5m then delete the server to free up space

[bronze dock]

respectfully, youre wrong about that, particularly with portal. 2042 portal is far superior

[viscid goblet]

Can you not remember the absolute STATES bf4, BF5 and 2042 released in?

[manic dust]

Bots are BAD for the game. PORTAL being separate from quick play is BAD for the game.

[manic moss]

Ok. Can someone please help me out. I don’t understand the assignment challenges. Under weapon they are all red besides one which is point blank and it’s all to do with a shot gun. I am useless wt shotguns. I never use them. Do I have to complete this one before others open up? If so. Is there any bot lobbies yet to do it lol thanks 🙂

[kindred junco]

lmao what?????

[glass acorn]

I think the bots are fine but obviously I don't want servers to just be only bots i like people mixed in with bots

[bronze dock]

stand by what i said, 2042 is better than the BF6 portal. can repeat if you like.

[viscid goblet]

Portal being seperate from quikc play is bad how? People want to play X game mode, not X game mode with 74 modifiers that alter the game

[kindred junco]

It’s not goggles, youre just blatantly wrong

[dreamy heron]

after level 23 the challenges can be completed

[manic dust]

If you have official rules on portal quick play should help populate your server? Not just keep creating new official servers

[manic dust]

Clearly I’m not talking about some stupid custom server

[glass acorn]

I just got reminded of something whatever happened to that mw survival style mode

[kindred junco]

2042 portal was terrible. Like what, 8 maps from older games? Very little customization? It was straight up trash. There’s so much more to do and create in 6 it’s not even a question

[viscid goblet]

Merrr this portal mode is awful because i havn't actually figured out how to do what i want to do merrrrrr

[manic moss]

Im guessing you mean my rank level.. which is only 9 atm 😂😂

[kindred junco]

Merrrr im gonna complain while actively playing the game for 5 hours straight merrrr

[marsh pine]

literally they are either whiners that cant read or they are just ragebaiting

either way you dont respond to them

[bronze dock]

the BF6 modifiers railroad you into official mode or hardcore mode, good luck putting 6-7 rounds into a tank to kill it, what BF are you supporting? If you change DMG to 200% you've got a custom server nobody joins

[finite pawn]

If anyone is interested, I started writing some "tutorials" on a Github repo : https://github.com/florentpoujol/battlefield6_portal_tutorials

[manic moss]

As you’re talking about portal. When I go onto the server list and I select one. Why does it tell me to press X to purchase? Purchase what exactly?

[viscid goblet]

Or yknow, people are playing the official modes as its LAUNCH WEEKEND and not looking through the server browser yet because its LAUNCH WEEKEND and the devs have said they're going to be making improvements to the portal mode and server browser, but they havn't yet BECAUSE ITS JUST LAUNCHED

[kindred junco]

I need a mode where i can just spear helicopters with my fighter jet

[bronze dock]

yeah we get it, but some of us don't like 64 player official servers because we have large clan of players and need our own server straight up

we can't fit into the 4 man party system

[viscid goblet]

So use the server browser and all join the same server? like whats your point?

[bronze dock]

ok, but there's no TEAM SWAP option bro

[viscid goblet]

Yeah, granted the 4 player system isn't the best, Ive got like 10 mates that id like to jump into a server together in a party, like in bf2(?) that had like 7 man squads

[bronze dock]

thats what i'm saying really

Its a deviation from the old Battlefield model of gameplay IE: not battlefield

[viscid goblet]

I can also see it from a balancing thing though at the moment, I remember in BF4 getting STOMPED on clan servers because theyd all be in TeamSpeak or Ventrillo* sweating hard

[maiden marten]

insane yap

[viscid goblet]

tier 3 ragebait

[earnest basalt]

Damn, it's always the "BF Veterans" with the most delulu takes

[mental umbra]

Got this same error

[viscid goblet]

I've been playing since literally 1942, and this is the best return to form in like a decade

[wanton kettle]

Why tf are all the servers total slop

[viscid goblet]

Because its launch weekend.... people have had realisticly like 48 hours to figure out how to actually use the portal mode...

[rapid crater]

try6ing to host a new "my experience" thing i made in portal, comes up with error: Game quota exceeded.. what do i do?

[wanton kettle]

Yeah like in bf2042 portal servers? What 5 years and all the servers are one shot kill servers and zombie farms.

[viscid goblet]

you've lost me

[wanton kettle]

I mean this basically lookin like bf2042 portal which doesnt work at all

[viscid goblet]

give it time man

[wanton kettle]

Yeah right thats what yall always say

[viscid goblet]

BTEC grade rage bait my dude, go touch some grass

[glass acorn]

Im thinking the same thing bf2042 had the same issues as rn but then it would slowly get better as time went on

[steady moth]

Hello all, i would like to create a map rotation server with low required number of player to start game what should i do?

[viscid goblet]

Snap, you need to go touch grass too

[manic dust]

Pray

[jade hedge]

how do you equip a vehicle skin? can't find it in the customization menu

[wanton kettle]

Well portal sure didnt get better. Theres an ability edit the servers settings alot but all the servers are the same and noone joins the new servers when u put up a new server

[viscid goblet]

Have you looked at the Portal Website at all yet? Depending on the mode, you can click "Create new" then select any of the verified modes, e.g congquest and have a play with the numbers in there, not sure if theyres a "number of players to start" variable yet

[rare void]

you can't create any new servers, was hyped to try portal but.. can't

[viscid goblet]

I managed to yesterday, maybe they're at capacity for now as a lot of people are trying stuff out

[empty hazel]

XP farmers once again making the game suck

[glass acorn]

I want to say its because u don't get the full xp I do see people make hardcore anything or deathmatch or domination it just shows as custom and u can see u don't get full xp so people don't play those but idk its probably just me

[jade hedge]

xp farm servers and vehilce test range will be clogging the hell out of the servers. Baffling they don't have a vehicle test range map in the game

[rare void]

logically, DICE will probably make this week's challenges Portal based

[viscid goblet]

Loadouts > Vehicles > select vehicle you want to edit > icon above the vehicles (is a bit hard to see) > skins

[manic dust]

Yayyy kill 1k bots
