MAIN: eXtreme+ v2.7 FIXPACK: HERE


If you want to restore the original COD2 fonts, please use the following fix:
MAIN: eXtreme+ v2.7 FONT RESTORE FIX: HERE

[ODAWA]

Hi, thanks again.
Question 1:
How come when I changed the following in mapcontrol.cfg, I'm not jumping any higher?
set ex_jumpheight "128"

Am I perhaps interpreting this wrong, with regards to what it does?

Question 2:
I am impressed with the new font, but I'd prefer the default font used in v2.6.  How can I set it?

Oops! Nevermind I see I can restore it using the optional mod 'font-restore'.

[PatmanSan]

ex_jumpheight works perfectly fine for me.
Are you sure you removed the // in front of the line?
Did you upload the change to your server?

[PatmanSan]

Old code in optional mod "gametype-description-fix":

Please DO NOT use the extreme\_ex_main.gsc in this optional mod to apply the game type description fix. Unfortunately this code is old, and will break stuff.
If you wish to apply the optional mod server sided (instructions A), please do the following:

Instructions A (server side):
- Copy the file "0.iwd" in the "main" folder of this mod to the "main" folder on the server.
- Copy the file "0.iwd" in the "main" folder of this mod to the "main" folder on your download redirect (if you have one).
- Open the original v2.7 _ex_main.gsc in the "extreme" folder in your favorite text editor, and   remove the double slashes (//) from the folowing line:
  //maps\mp\gametypes\_gt0::init();
- Save the file, and upload to the <fs_game>\extreme folder on the server.

Instructions B (client side) is not affected.

[willbe]

We have copied the 2.6 config on the 2.7, step by step line by line...

It is great!    Amazing  :!:

Uuuuhhh the special features and the "Sentry Gun" is so funny!

And force maxfps and cl_maxpackets, seems very good reagrading lag questions.

We find a strange problem amd i'm not sure if maybe we have done something wrong, if i try to enable in miscfeatures.cfg:

 //******************************************************************************
// Livestats HUD
//******************************************************************************
// show number of alive players in each team
// 0 = disable (default)
// 1 = enable
set ex_livestats "1"

Then the server hangs when we try "Team Based" gametypes (tmd, ctf, sd, etc.).

I have tryed it again with the entire default scriptdata config, only changed the set ex_livestats "1" and it fails too, server hangs.

Diana and Special are the optional mods added for this test.

¿Any idea?

Thanks very much in advance!

[PatmanSan]

Thanks for reporting. Livestats is indeed broken.
2.7 Fixpack officially openend... fix 1 added.
See first post above.

[anodoz]

the new mod is awesome!!installed it with most of the bells and whistles run great so far on the test server.couple quick questions,what exactly does the gametype-description-fix do.i was a little confused and wasnt sure what it was reference too,and do i need it.

2nd question geolocation i think i have it set up how do i use it?

3rd is our no hipshooting script going to be the same as it was in the last mod

http://www.mycallofduty.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=37512#37512

thank again patman

[PatmanSan]

1. The gametype-description-fix optional mod is to fix the game type description on the loading screen (when a new map is loading). Instead of TDM, it will make it show eXtreme+ TDM again, or whatever you have set the localized string to.

2. GeoLocation is part of the console log monitor, which will only work if are able to create a symbolic link in the scriptdata\log folder, pointing to the actual console_mp.log. It will make announcements like "Please welcome player x from The Netherlands", or whatever country their IP address is from. If you can't create that symbolic link, turn console processing OFF.

3. The code is already in there. Open extreme\_ex_main.gsc, search for exPlayerDamage. You'll see:

// Activate line below if you do not want to allow shooting from the hip (only ADS)
//if(isPlayer(eAttacker) && sMeansOfDeath != "MOD_MELEE" && (maps\mp\gametypes\_weapons::isMainWeapon(sWeapon) || isWeaponType(sWeapon, "pistol")) && !eAttacker playerADS()) return;

Remove the // in front of the second line, like this:

// Activate line below if you do not want to allow shooting from the hip (only ADS)
if(isPlayer(eAttacker) && sMeansOfDeath != "MOD_MELEE" && (maps\mp\gametypes\_weapons::isMainWeapon(sWeapon) || isWeaponType(sWeapon, "pistol")) && !eAttacker playerADS()) return;

gommusic are in the file 04.iwd

[PatmanSan]

Seems to work fine. I heard at least three different intros when reconnecting.

[alyosha]

How is possible that? I not hear nothing before the gom scratch.

With my other pc I can hear all. What can be the problem?

[axRhino]

Can not get the mod to run. Seems to be defaulting back to the standard COD2 config.cfg
