NEW CoD Gametypes - Server-side mod

[Hammer]

I decided that I didn't like the Search & Destroy game play that much, so I created a new gametype called Objective. Basically took the SD script and hacked it for OBJ with dual bomb setting and defusing. Game play is almost identical to OBJ on MOHAA. Allies must plant both bombs and axis must ensure they don't do that. Somewhat trying to see what can be done with new types, etc. Mostly preliminary ... only known problem is that to defuse a bomb, axis must CROUCH on it and search around in a circle until the icon appears. Can't seem to get the triggers setup right, but they can be defused.

Get the beta version of the server-side mod ==> HERE (http://www.mohaacrew.com/Hammer/zzzzz_Hammer_Obj_Gametype_0.0.pk3) <==

Place it in your server's main folder and restart. Set your gametype for obj and use the same rotation as for sd gameplay.

NOTE: Only servers need this file! Clients do not need to install this as it will prevent you from connecting to (pure) servers that do not contain the mod.

The following cvars are available:
//Objective Default Description
set scr_obj_graceperiod "15" // Time at round start where spawning and weap.
// choosing is still allowed, 0 - 60 seconds
set scr_obj_roundlength "5" // round length
set scr_obj_roundlimit "0" // Max Number of round wins per map
set scr_obj_scorelimit "0" // Map team score limit per map
set scr_obj_timelimit "10" // Map time limit, in minutes - 0 to 1440

set hamNoKillCam "1" // 1=dont show killcam (null to disable)
set ham_obj_bombplant "5" // time to set the bombs
set ham_obj_bombdefuse "8" // time to defuse the bombs
set ham_obj_bombtimer "45" // timer before bombs explode
set ham_obj_stopwatch "1" // 1=Show stopwatch(es) (null to disable)

[Hammer]

Fixed the problem with axis having a hard time defusing bombs. Pretty much completes the gametype. Get the file ==> HERE (http://www.mohaacrew.com/Hammer/Hammer_Obj_Gametype_1.0.zip) <==

Check the README.txt in the zip file.

[Hammer]

And yet another new gametype mode added in ... Round-based Team Deathmatch. Get the updated file ==> HERE (http://www.mohaacrew.com/Hammer/Hammer_CoD_Gametypes_1.0.zip) <==

Note, this file includes both OBJ and RB gametypes. See the README.txt file for additional information, including server cvar configuration.

You my man are the SHIZNIT!!!!!!

[rudedog]

You ever sleep hammer? :lol:

Can I mirror these here? also will post some news on the font page!

[Hammer]

How many times you gonna ask that, huh? ::o): :!:

You don't have to. THANKS.

BTW, I do sleep sometimes. When I'm not doing this stuff, I'm working so I can pay for the things I need to allow me to do this stuff. :dis: Just ask Sgt. D, he knows. Actually, I'm neglecting some of my duties over at MC for doing this. I'm sure (hope) he understands. It's for the community ... yeah, that's it ... the community. Now where's my beer?! :x(

[Dillinger]

Thanks for the new gameplay modes.

Could you do me and a lot of other players a favor and for the love of god take away the stupid rounds! Make you respawn, not have to wait four minutes. It kills this game. All the players over at Mike's Marauders are begging for an objective-based RESPAWNING mode.

It'd be great if you could just add respawning to this mod. I'd love you! :)

[imported_Eroc]

Dillinger... I am confused as to what your asking? Is the Objective mod not working correctly?

I was going to download it and try it out myself... but I was confused by your post.

Eroc

[Dillinger]

No, it works fine!

I just hate the CS/MoH style round matches where you have to wait to respawn. I wish someone would just make an objective based gameplay mode where you respawn instantly or after like 5 seconds. Similar to DoD.

[Hammer]

I'm already looking into adding a timed respawn, although I personally don't really like a round-based gametype with respawn (what's the point then in being round-based?). It will be a configurable option nonetheless. It will add a lot more complexity to the gametype since it changed the end-of-round checks quite a bit. I'll be modding the RE and SD types as well.

[imported_Eroc]

Great mod Hammer !

I saw two things, 1 of which you might not have any control over.

1. The timer at 5 seconds stops ticking (the sound) but continues on working and blows accordingly.

2. The blast radius is huge. We have people a good distance away and it killed them. Anything you can control?

Otherwise nice mod!

Thanks !

Eroc

[Hammer]

Yep, at 5 seconds to blow, I make the sound change. Unfortunately the client must have the mod installed to hear it.

I didn't want to publicize this since it would make a lot of people's game break on sv_pure servers.

I increased the blast range a bit too, makes it more interesting that way. :|

[Dillinger]

Great to hear, Hammer. All I'm asking you for is a server variable that will give the option for respawning and not waiting until the round is over.

People will love you for it! :)

[imported_Eroc]

Kinda defeats the point of Obj doesn't it Dillinger? Just an opinion.

Anyways, any way of lessening that blast radius? It was so far out that it, in game details, was about 5 car lengths away and about 4 died right off trying to cover it. Just a little not much.

As for that sound mod, if we have it on our servers and its pure they'd have to get it anyways.

Can I get that sound part of the mod or can we change it to a regular clock?

Thanks,
Eroc

[Hammer]

The sound part is already in the mod, clients just need to be allowed to download it from your server or told where to get it.

On the blast radius, it's about 30-40 (game) feet now, which is more realistic on the type of explosion than what came with the standard game (it's not like you're setting off a grenade). Anyway, if enough folks complain about it, I'll lower it in a future update. So far, you're the only one. :P

[Chingaman]

Hammer....love your mod!! Bit of a problem though. The obj part of the mod works great on the first map of the objective rotation. Bombs get set...bombs defuse...bombs blow up....all good. On every map after that.....the server will crash everytime a bomb is finished being set. Have you seen this before....i assume its a setting i've got wrong or something in my .cfg

Also....the no kill cam isnt working either :cry:

[Hammer]

I'm working on a fix ... funny, all my testing is in brecourt, and that's the only maps that doesn't have the problem. bummer. I'll have a update out tonight.

[Chingaman]

Thx Hammer you da man!!

By the way...as long as i got your attention...is there a way to make objective maps rotate on their own if no-one is on the server?
Would be cool if you could whip that mod up too :!:

[Dillinger]

Kinda defeats the point of Obj doesn't it Dillinger? Just an opinion.No, haven't you ever played Day of Defeat? :)

[Hammer]

Yes (with a catch). Set all the round/score limits to 0 and set roundlength/timelimit appropriately. Now, standard RE and SD gametypes have a BUG with this, so you'll need the RE and SD fix mod I posted in this forum.

I've fixed the problem in OBJ gametype that was causing the map crashes.

I'm also including the alpha-release of the Quad-Team Deathmatch gametype.

Get the new archive ==> HERE (http://www.mohaacrew.com/Hammer/Hammer_CoD_Gametypes_1.2.zip) <==.
Check out the README.txt file for information.

Currently quad-gameplay itself appears to work pretty well, although I haven't been able to test with a large group of players, so can't tell how the spawnpoints are going to behave. The scoring system is retarded :cry: :cry: CoD has internal data stores for the scores and also seems to only care about allies and axis (so allies can be any of american, russian, british). I had to work around this a bit by treating players as belonging to no team (at least from CoD's perspective) and kept team logic myself. This means that the scoreboard does not group players by team, and the team head-icon display does not!

Internally I'm keeping track of score and I plan to provide some type of score display (draft is there now, but no score shown). At the end of each map, the winning team is properly announced.

So give it a try and give me feedback.

[rudedog]

If you like Hammer. I will post some news on the front. to drive some traffic to your server and test the mod out with a large number of clients.

let me know the info of the server, where you would like people to send feedback and anything else you need,

Your doing great work Hammer. I know everyone appreciates it!

[Hammer]

Made more updates to the Quad-Team gametype ... I'm not going to be making any more releases while it's still in testing. However, we've got MC Gamers server #2 (69.41.230.228:28960) running the new gametype, and you can help test and also get a copy of the latest mod by running /set cl_allowdownload 1 and connecting to our server. You should first remove any .pk3 files you may have added locally, since the sv_pure setting on our server will only allow the files that we are running.

BTW, here's a pic of the end-of-map score: http://www.mohaacrew.com/Hammer/scores_4xtdm.jpg

The intent is to have the block near the top-right display scores, but I've been unable to get it to work. The teams shown are listed in highest score order, and changes throught game play. There's also a periodic score message on the bottom left.

Anyway, if you have some free time, hop onto our test server and provide feedback on the new gametype.

[rudedog]

This is awsome, Hammer. Keep up the good work.

[Ruff]

Some very neat stuff!
Does this mod have a team-only spectate option?
Am I right in thinking I wouldn't be able to use any other mods (like iO server admin) at the same time as this on our server?

[Hammer]

Thanks. At this time this is a proof-of-concept project. Team-spectate, team-balance, spawnpoint management, weapon restriction/balance, etc. should be indepented of the gametype and will be dealt with in the near future. We're all anxiously awaiting the release of the CoD SDK and the next patch to see how much work modders have to correct some of the existing deficiencies.

The gametype is an add-on and is not affected nor affects any other mods.

[Ruff]

Okies, cheers for the info!

[Hammer]

FYI, the test server went out to lunch last night after the gamehost software we use to control it died in the process of restarting it. It will be back sometime today (or so they tell me!)

Good news is I've had time to play with the mod more and now I have the upper-right score area working!!! Huge hack though, but it works.
