Mod Help

[Moal]

Hi
I would like to make a Mod for COD4
Simple is all we want

no UAV
no Air Strike
no Chopper
no Kill Cam
no Martyrdom
no Deep Impact
no Hud map
no Hud at all is fine too
no Hitcons
no unsited cross hairs
no other team names
and when your dead not to be able to see where anyone is

and to be able to load custom maps
and be able to build rank to get more perks

I have tried to turn this stuff off in the config files
but as you all know no luck they say I need a mod to do it

[Moal]

Well I was hopin for help but it dont seem to be comming

any one interested in helpin change a few thing in the D.A.M.N. Mod
like health regeneration - now is none, would like it to do it over time
maybe add some of the perks back in the game
and get it to rotate maps

You want to make a mod from the ground up?  

What would you specifically like us to do?

Do you have all the COD4 ModFiles yet?

How is your game and the tools setup on your computer?

Making a Mod from the ground up isn't as easy as snapping ones fingers  

[Moal]

I have the mod tools installed
they are setup the right way I think and I have played with them some
at this point I'm not sure if we want an all new or to alter one
heres what I know the guys want

no air strikes
no UAV
no Choppers
no Maty
no hitcons

you know you only get the kills you shoot sort of idea

we have the D.A.M.N. installed and they like it mostly
but no-one likes the guys heavy breathing afters hes shot
they dont like they weapon selection


but they want to rank up and get perks
and want custom maps in rotation

I have tried to makes these changes but no luck yet
I am a programer and map maker but need some help here

[Joker{eXtreme}]

Take X4v3.0 RC5 for example -- what you are asking for can already be done with simple dvars in the config files

no air strikes
config/wmdcontrol.cfg
set scr_hardpoint_allowairstrike "0"
set scr_hardpoint_allownapalm "0"
set scr_hardpoint_allownuke "0"
set scr_hardpoint_allowstealth "0"

no UAV
config/wmdcontrol.cfg
set scr_hardpoint_allowuav "0"

no Choppers
config/wmdcontrol.cfg
set scr_hardpoint_allowhelicopter "0"

no Maty
config/weaponcontrol.cfg
set perk_allow_specialty_grenadepulldeath "0"

no hitcons
config/weaponcontrol.cfg
set scr_enable_hiticon "0"

but no-one likes the guys heavy breathing afters hes shot
config/healthcontrol.cfg
Multiple options on the type of health reg or even firstaid kits to use

but they want to rank up and get perks
config/wmdcontrol.cfg
// If you want to rank up like an stock server use these settings!
// set ex_rank_stock "1"
// set ex_fullwarfare "0"

// If you want to use the fullwarfare system use these settings! (Instance weapon unlocks and instance rank up to level 55)
// set ex_rank_stock "0"
// set ex_fullwarfare "1"

and want custom maps in rotation
This is a given, you can run custom maps with any mod really

And while the X4 mod has TONS of features, you also have the ability to turn any feature ON or OFF totally, or map specific, or gametype specific.

Turning 1 dvar, into 3 basically

Well I will have a look at it
we had not looked at X4 because from the video I seen it had a lot more
of the extra kill stuff like the Air Strike and Chopper Run , then added nuke and tripod mini gun, it looked to be much more than we wanted
we just want the kills we get

I will load it and see what they think

thanks for the help

[Moal]

ok the server we are using has ver 2
then they have extreme+ TR - what ever that is
we installed  the X4 v2 and seems to be ok
most seem to like it
we been tweaking it and have made it better for us through the options
I was wondering how v3 is, any improvements over v2 or just more extra kills stuff, nukes and napalm ?
we have loaded some of the older custom maps and some dont seem to work like "The Rock" which
is a good map big but good, Bridge dont work but have seen it mess up before

[KidR0ck]

Sorry ... don't mean to but in but Moal we run v2.0 on one of our servers and it runs MTL The Rock just fine. It has ran the 13 custom maps we have with not issues at the moment. The only issues we had was the way i set it up to start with. We are working on setting v3 up to run but I have hit a few issues on it ... but again it could be me causing it. Hope this helps some. v2 is an outstanding mod for basic settings and stuff. I really haven't gotten into some parts of it to say good or bad on other things it says it can do.

[Moal]

Hey KidR0ck
maybe my copy got corrupted some how, I mean I've only had it sitting on my Hd for a couple of years
I have them from my game that I played 3 years ago all stil sitting there + more I havent tried
I have 9 custom maps loaded so far with no issues on them but have 5 not work

maybe we can switch maps if you like giving both of our groups more maps to play


heres a list of the ones that work great

1. mp_karkand_night
2. mp_meanstreet2
3. mp_backlot_2
4. mp_townville
5. mp_offices_v3
6. mp_complex
7. mp_brkout_v2
8. mp_flemishtown
9. mp_dhc_carentan
ok adding
10. mp_dvillage
11. mp_destroyed_village
note both are basically same map but dvillage is a remake and bigger

list of ones that dont for us

MTL The Rock
Factory
Bridge
Yard
Burg

goin to try a couple of more today

[Moal]

ok new question can Custom Classed be saved I havent seen it
also can the On Screen writing be turned off the 'Spawn Enabled' and 'Spawn Disabled'
its making my eyes hurt tryin to see whats around me with the writing on the screen
others have complained about the same thing

[Joker{eXtreme}]

Yep Custom Classes save when you set them up and complete the map

Regular spawn protection or invisible spawn protection?

[Moal]

yea the words only not the protection just the writing
BTW thanks most seem to enjoy how we have it running right now
less complaints anyway LOL

[Joker{eXtreme}]

Ok but what are the words on the screen?  Spawn Protection or Invisible Spawn Protection?

[TexPish-uca]

hI I'm part of the server admin team for the ukcyberassassins we have been running the extreme mods on our clanforge server for some 12 months or so and tbh we love them Thanks
with the x4 version 2 i failed to get the uav working in hardcore mode. not a worry as it did work on the main map for setting aitrstikes etc

we are now running the latest version and i have managed to get most things working,
sadly the minigun seems to be missing all together
we can only use 1 ac30 atm ( not really a problem.
the main issue i seem to be having is on the class select page it doesnt show the contents of the classes
i seem to remember this being an issue when we first ran the version 2 and for the life of me i cant find  or remember what i did to fix this over a year ago lol
could someone please direct me to the cfg file and the setting to correct this issue please its the only thing reall we are concerned with well the sentry gun issue to
or if possible could someone send me a copy of the config files please as it is highly possible that clanforge have made a mess of the install procedure
thanks Tex

[Moal]

Invisible Spawn Protection

but we are not Invisible we can see people spawn and some start shooting
but most are now tryin to watch out for this
