MOH Central

Hey fellas,

   

   Been lurking around the modding community lately and have seen some of the amazing work you've done.  Got your anti-camp mod right now and everyone just loves watching someone lit on fire jump out of a building LMAO!

   

   Anyways, Im basically totally clueless to world of modding and Im turning to the experts for some help in getting some mods running on my server.  

   

   Here's what Im looking to do. (MOH:AA)

   

   1. Weapons mod (Silent pistol (no bashing), Kar rifle, Kar Sniper, Springfield sniper.  All available to selection by both axis/allies

   

   2. Modifications to stock maps (rain, lightning effects, night changes on some of the stock maps)

   

   3. Running mixed maps (ie: TDM/ OBJ map rotation)

   

   As you can see these are all mods/information that is available publicily for download or copying, but I have ZERO experience doing these things, and have spent countless hours trying to figure out to bring a little more fun to MOH.  

   

   Please contact me if your crew provides config services to those not as skilled.

   

   Thanks in advance,

1. I havent looked into the weapons menus, but i can think of 2 ways to give weapons, 1 from a trigger they walk into which gives them all the weapons the game has (hehe), or spawn the weapons in the spawn areas which you desire and they can discard theirs for the new one.

   

   2. Adding rain to maps that didnt originally have it - the rain actually rains inside buildings so looks kinda crappy. Running the global weather will produce thunder/lightning.

   

   3. Is your server a tdm or obj?

   

   The all weapons trig - i pressed H god knows how many times to discard that lot

   

   Now thats gotta be worth fighting for lol

   

hehehhehe, Yea I played with that mod a bit.  I thought it would serve my goal, but once people realized its limitions it got pretty lame quick.

   

   1. Instead of reloading when you ran out of ammo people would just drop the gun because they would spawned a new one.

   

   2. People spent half the time just running around the map dropping as many weapons as they could (got some good SS of those LOL)

   

   I was referring to this mod, which several servers use with great success.  http://www.modtheater.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10203

   

   I would prefer a situation where the player selects Rifle-->gets kar rifle; Sniper-->Gets kar sniper; SMG--->Gets Springfield.

   + 1 silenced pistol (8 rounds, but no/limited bashing)

   + 1 nade

   

   I just can't get it work on my rented server.

   

   We currently run 3 servers, all stalingrad only... its lame have 3 servers doing the same things, and as Im sure you all know, hosting a stalingrad FFA/TDM sniper only is like handing out a personal invite to hackers.   Im looking to spice things up a bit by making these modifications and setting a new rotation.  Stalingrad (with night/thunder/lightning)-->Algiers (night) --->Destroyed village (I think Rain is safe on this map) --->  V2 (unchanged) ----> The Hunt (rain, thunder, lightning... again rain is safe here)  

   

   Unforunately every attempt I've made to make any of this happen (outside of the method you suggested for forcing weapons) has failed.  hehehehe it took me almost 3 days to realize that Winzip would open a PK3 so I could edit

   

   I believe these requests are all pretty much readily available, but I need an expert to come in and put it all together in one neat package.  But, Im not sure as to what affect it will have on my rented box in terms of lag.  It is a top quality rental, but still a shared box none-the-less.

   

   So I guess to compact all my desires in one place... here it is.

   1. Anti-camper mod (yours is excellent and I love it)

   2. Rifles on back

   3. Weapon limiter player (axis/allies) selection of (Kar rifle/Kar sniper/Springfield) ----This can easily be achieved once Weapons limiter works----

   + silenced pistol w/ 8 rounds (toned down w/ no bash) ---requires modification to TIKS---

   

   4. Modified stock maps

   ---Stalingrad (night w/ thunder & lightning) assuming rain is lame

   ---Algiers (night)

   ---Destroyed Village (rain, thunder, lightning)

   ---V2 (stock)

   ---The Hunt (thunder, rain, lightning)

   

   5. How to build a custom config to run a rotation that auto-sets TDM/FT/FT-OBJ/OBJ map to map.  (I've seen it, but not sure where to place it)

   

   6. Future (possibily near) I've been very interested in these converted SP maps.  I've played a couple and think its a great idea (we all know hard it is to run a box with customs that require manual download)  The freebie on your site crashed my box.

   

   Let me know if you guys are interested in my little project.

If the one on our site crashed your box are you running spearhead or breakthrough?  It is an allied assault map, not sure if Sh/Bt have that map. If its for spearhead Herr_Kruger has placed one in the mod files section for SH.

   

   The other things you require i havent really got the time to look into, perhaps other readers could help you.
