RELEASE NOTES:- Do NOT copy over scripts or configuration files from older versions!
- Do NOT enable features in the configuration files that require an OPTIONAL MOD before you have integrated and uploaded the optional add-on!
Instructions on how to enable the optional mods are included in the archive.
- If you put more than 64 maps on the server (use the map rotation stacker feature for that), the map name will not display right. It will display the long name, like
mp_gob_rats instead of
Gob Rats. There is an arena file limit in the game that we have no control over. The server will work though.
- The helicopter is not perfect. Where recent COD games have built-in chopper physics and map supported heli paths, we have to figure it all out in a script. Not perfect, but quite deadly anyway.
- If you have a custom Main Menu (ui_mp\main.menu) you want to reapply together with the new font, please make the following changes to it:
1. Remove all #define statements at the top
2. Change:
boldFont "fonts/boldFont" 30 into
boldFont "fonts/extraBigFont" 40Hope you all enjoy it!
