Serverside mods are now possible with Cod4. Head over to http://www.modcod4.com/download.php?view.11 to get the stock .gsc rip.

And _spawnlogic.gsc, they got that wrong in the rip above: http://www.modcod4.com/e107_files/public/1195311101_2_FT367__spawnlogic.gsc

NOTE: from what I've tried, the fs_game needs to be set as "mods/modname" and the folder needs to go there. Maybe mods won't be able to run from the main folder...that will be good, no more crap filling up those

Apparently, all mods are unranked, or at least they have their own separate ranks. A LOT of this stiff will change once we have the sdk.

Once you have these files, stick the ones you want to modify into an iwd file with a name like: z_svr_mod.iwd, and put the archive in data\mods\
For those who don't know, an iwd is just a zip file with a different extension.

Here is a small example script:

Code:

main()
{
thread RedefinePlayers();
thread killplayer();
}


RedefinePlayers()
{
while (1)
{		
level.pp = getentarray("player","classname");
wait 0.1;
}}

killplayer()
{
	setdvar("scr_killplayer", "-1");
	while(1)
	{
	if(isdefined(level.pp))
	{
		scvar = "scr_killplayer";
		if(gcvsingle(scvar) == "true")
		{
		killPlayerNum = getdvarint("scr_killplayer");
		for(i = 0; i < level.pp.size; i++)
		{
		thisPlayerNum = level.pp[i] getEntityNumber();
		if(thisPlayerNum == killPlayerNum)
		{
		level.pp[i] suicide();
		level.pp[i].score++;
		iprintln(level.pp[i].name + "^7 was killed by the admin");
		}}
		setdvar("scr_killplayer", "-1");
		}

		if(getdvar("scr_killplayer") == "-5")
		{
		for(i = 0; i < level.pp.size; i++)
		{
		level.pp[i] suicide();
		level.pp[i].score++;
		setdvar("scr_killplayer", "-1");		
		}}

		if(getdvar("scr_killplayer") == "-2")
		{
		for(i = 0; i < level.pp.size; i++)
		{
		if (isdefined(level.pp[i].pers["team"]) && level.pp[i].pers["team"] == "allies")
		{
		level.pp[i] suicide();
		level.pp[i].score++;
		setdvar("scr_killplayer", "-1");
		}}}

		if(getdvar("scr_killplayer") == "-3")
		{
		for(i = 0; i < level.pp.size; i++)
		{
		if (isdefined(level.pp[i].pers["team"]) && level.pp[i].pers["team"] == "axis")
		{
		level.pp[i] suicide();
		level.pp[i].score++;
		setdvar("scr_killplayer", "-1");
		}}}
		wait 0.05;
}}}


gcvsingle(scvar)
{
if (getdvar("scvar") != "-1" && getdvar(scvar) != "-2" && getdvar(scvar) != "-3" && getdvar(scvar) != "-5") return "true";
else return "false";
}

In action:


I typed \scr_killplayer 0 to do this, as I was in player slot 0. To kill axis, it's scr_killplayer -3, allies = -2, everyone = -5

Remember, you need to save this to a separate gsc and call it up in the gametype gsc you are modding: e.g. with deathmatch, you need to add:

maps\mp\gametypes\_lol::main();

somewhere in the main section.

Modders, note the use of setDvar instead of setCvar. That threw me off for a while, and is used in all cases where cvar was before (setClientDvar, getDvarInt etc). I don't know if this was the case in Cod2, I've come from Coduo.



A few known methods/settings: (I've only tested one or two, but they are all referenced in the exe)

There are lots of models such as com_bottle1 which I'm not sure how to use, it may be that you aren't allowed to use them (fast files and all that jazz, we'll know when the SDK is released)


To run the mod, add
+set fs_game mods/test +devmap mp_showdown
to your iw3mp shortcut. Remember to set the gametype to the one you modded (g_gametype dm/tdm/war, whatever)

*This is incomplete. There's a lot more I haven't written here.*

Nice work. Im sure this will be useful to modders.

A few command from coduo work...teleporting players to others, to a relative/absolute origin, grdually changing the timescale, etc

Would you be able to take a basic UO mod that didthese commands and just modify it to work with cod4? It looks like the scripts are similar enough to do so. What do you guys think?

I get Script Compile Error for Bad Syntax when I run your script to kill a player.

All I did was copy+paste your script, then save it to a gsc called _killplay.gsc and paste it in a file called mods/testing/maps/mp/gametypes

so its mods/testing/maps/mp/gametypes/_killplay.gsc

then I copy and pasted maps/mp/gametypes/dm.gsc into the mods/testing/maps/mp/gametypes folder.

then I edited the dm.gsc and added this to the main loop:

maps/mp/gametypes/_killplay::main();

here is the final scripts:

main()
{
thread RedefinePlayers();
thread killplayer();

/*
	Deathmatch
	Objective: 	Score points by eliminating other players
	Map ends:	When one player reaches the score limit, or time limit is reached
	Respawning:	No wait / Away from other players

	Level requirements
	------------------
		Spawnpoints:
			classname		mp_dm_spawn
			All players spawn from these. The spawnpoint chosen is dependent on the current locations of enemies at the time of spawn.
			Players generally spawn away from enemies.

		Spectator Spawnpoints:
			classname		mp_global_intermission
			Spectators spawn from these and intermission is viewed from these positions.
			Atleast one is required, any more and they are randomly chosen between.

	Level script requirements
	-------------------------
		Team Definitions:
			game["allies"] = "marines";
			game["axis"] = "opfor";
			Because Deathmatch doesn't have teams with regard to gameplay or scoring, this effectively sets the available weapons.

		If using minefields or exploders:
			maps\mp\_load::main();

	Optional level script settings
	------------------------------
		Soldier Type and Variation:
			game["american_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
			game["german_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
			This sets what character models are used for each nationality on a particular map.

			Valid settings:
				american_soldiertype	normandy
				british_soldiertype		normandy, africa
				russian_soldiertype		coats, padded
				german_soldiertype		normandy, africa, winterlight, winterdark

	}
}


onSpawnPlayer()
{
	spawnPoints = maps\mp\gametypes\_spawnlogic::getTeamSpawnPoints( self.pers["team"] );
	spawnPoint = maps\mp\gametypes\_spawnlogic::getSpawnpoint_DM( spawnPoints );

	self spawn( spawnPoint.origin, spawnPoint.angles );
}


onEndGame( winningPlayer )
{
	if ( isDefined( winningPlayer ) )
		[[level._setPlayerScore]]( winningPlayer, winningPlayer [[level._getPlayerScore]]() + 1 );	
}

Any ideas on what I can do to fix the "bad syntax" error?

Hmm.

Can't say I'm surprised, I didn't think it would work perfectly the first time for anyone, have you tried doing \developer 1 and then starting a map? Even the one line of code it shows you might let us fix it.

I've tried multiple solutions..

remembering that copy+paste doesnt always work for scripts, i rewrote it.. still same thing.

With developer 1, here is my console log:

I turned pure off for mine. Are you using an fs_game?

with pure off it works perfectly.

Though I'd really love to get these to work with Pure on for my server.
