The mod has now reached version 5.0, and its 9th release, and I am very pleased to see it getting such a great reception.

These are the great new features this release:

1. New map loadscreen, where you can display your clan logo (this is the original creation of the Openwarfare team):



2. New perk - Tactical Insertion. Straight out of Modern Warfare 2, this is a great strategic utility which allows you to plant a spawn point for when you get killed. It stops you going way back to the start spawns, and allows you to instantly jump back to where the action is.

A screenshot of it in the Create-a-class menu:



3. All new improved dynamic attachments. Now all the attachments for all the weapons are available in game at any time. It automatically scans what weapon you have and assigns all the possible attachments for that weapon. They can also be removed at any time, so that you can attach another, or none at all.

Here are 2 weapons with the attachments automatically scanned and then displayed for selection -

THOMPSON:



MP44:



4. Dynamic grenade menu - now you can change your grenade types on the fly:



5. All the dynamics now work with customslots mod mode.

6. New keyboard bind map - this is available at all times to give you the heads up on which key opens which menu item:



7. Improved weapon pools - a new spawn logic means that now you don't spawn on top of the weapon pools. This works especially well for retrieval gametype, as before the "fix" the weapon pools sometimes accidentally occupied the same space as a retrieval objective.

8. Improved Dynamic Perks - the weapon perks were open to abuse, so now the code allows them to only be selected once every spawn.

Introduction to the Mod
=================

This is a mod I made for COD4 based on code Tally created, and ported over to COD:WaW, with many extensive changes. It now has 5 mod "modes":

1. "Classic" COD Mode

This is the mode with weapon loadouts by nationality. It has a fully configurable weapons limiter, so that certain weapons can be allowed, yet limited.

In this mode, you have the option to have no perks, or you can force perks on all players (see riflesonly.cfg for dvars). But the mod mode defaults to set “default” perks, which can be changed at any time via the dynamic Perks menu.

2. "Rifle Only" Mode

This mode has only the bolt-action rifles, scoped and unscoped. It also has a fully configurable weapons limiter.

In this mode, you have the option to have no perks, or you can force perks on all players (see riflesonly.cfg for dvars). But the mod mode defaults to set “default” perks, which can be changed at any time via the dynamic Perks menu.

Also, you can decide whether to have ranks or not (see demon.cfg for dvars).

Attachments are available via the dynamic attachment menu. Just bring up the quickmessages menu, and you will see an option for it. Scoped weapons can now carry grenade launcher or bayonet attachments.

3. "Customslots" Mode

This mode unlocks all weapons and attachments in under 20 seconds, to allow for building a player's custom create-a-class. But it also has the functionality for a server admin to disallow certain items (weapons, perks, attachments, etc) by keeping unwanted things "locked" up.

Each mod mode has its own .CFG file, so please see those separate config files for the dvars which control each mode.

4. Oldschool Mode

This is ported straight over from COD4, and is basically a Quake 3 Rocket Arena style gameplay. There are weapon and perk pickups dotted all around the map. Players start with a basic loadout, no perks, and play for the pickups as they fight against their opponents. This is not a gametype – it runs alongside any of the standard or custom gametypes. So, you can still play Capture the Flag, for example, but turn it into a Quake style gametype with this fun game mode.

See oldschool.cfg for all the dvars you need to turn your server into a Quake-style server.

5. Force Weapons Mode

This is a new feature with this release. With this mod mode, players cant choose their classes/weapons – the server admin decides that for them. Loadout can be done either on a per-team basis, or universally, so that both teams get the same loadout. Perks and inventory weapons such as satchel charges or bouncing betties can also be predetermined. So also for the perks.

Also, you can decide whether to have ranks or not (see demon.cfg for dvars).

Attachments for some of the weapons (not all) are available via the dynamic attachment menu. Just bring up the quickmessages menu, and you will see an option for it. Scoped weapons can now carry grenade launcher or bayonet attachments.

The modes and execution of each config file are handled at the very top of demon.cfg, Only one mode dvar should be set to 1 at any time. Also, just below the mode dvar is where the config file for that mode is executed - just remove (if it isnt already) the double comment lines (double forward slash //) from in front
of the execution command.

Example --

Before:

set scr_demon_classicloadout 0
//exec classic.cfg

After:

set scr_demon_classicloadout 1
exec classic.cfg

=============================================================================

NB:
===
Most "stock" dvars can now be set differently for a specific map or gametype. This is because I made code changes to _tweakables.gsc, and made it compatable with what is commonly refered to in the modding world as the "dvardef" method of defining dvars. This has been a standard feature of AWE since its inception back in good ol' COD1 days, and all the big mods use it. I have included a copy of _tweakables.gsc in the .zip file, so you can check if a stock dvar is defined in this way.

All demon dvars can be set differently for specific gametypes, maps or both together.
