New shrub addon mod

[talbot]

Hi everyone,

I'm the server admin over at http://www.beetlejz.com. I always wanted to add extra things to shrubmod for RTCW but never could because nobody has the Shrub source code. So I decided to write an addon of sorts for shrub. Some features include:


Features so far include:
---Streaks announcements---
Round Kill streaks
Alltime kill streak
Round Revive streaks
Alltime Revive streak
Sacrifice detection

----Medals and Ranks announcements----
Medals are feats that you accomplish during a "single" round. They are not based on streaks but rather a certain # of a type of kill during a round.
- Goomba Medal
- Knife Medal
- Sniper Medal
- Poison Medal
- Kill Medal
- Revive Medal
- Sacrifice Medal

---Rewards---
Earning medals will win you hidden rewards. There are many which you can enable/disable.
Examples:
- If a medic sacrifices his life for many teammates during a round, then he deserves more starting HP no? Or how about an adrenaline pack.
- If a solider is racking up the panzer kills (lets say, 30+ kills) then maybe he should have more panzer rounds.
Stuff like that.

---Rules---
There are also admin functions which you can choose to enable/disable if you want certain rules.
- Three /kill commands from a player = 5 minute kick.
- Heavy weapons off when # of total players <= 8
- When panzers are limited. People who hog the panzerfaust and don't get enough kills or are AFK and prevent teammates from selecting the panzer will have panzer taken away from them.

Anyways, there is a working version of the mod running on our beetlejz los1 server. 216.240.151.118:27960. I will help anyone interested with the mod's installation (it is a perl script which runs in the background). I can also write you custom commands/rules or whatever you think would be fun to add to the mod.
I'm going to offer this mod to the most popular servers only as I do not want all servers to have it.
If this sounds cool for your favourite server, drop me a line at talbot1939@hotmail.com. All we ask for in exchange are any donations anyone can afford so that we can can keep our servers at http://www.beetlejz.com running for another month.

Thanks

the /kill thing would be totally worth it. and i kinda like the medic sacrificing his life thing too

[SavageParrot Profile]

Yeah that paragraph alone makes it sound awesome

[MAJOORPAIN]

add-ons seem pretty cool. I doubt they will ever see the light of day here though! This site to afraid of change.

i really like what talbot is proposing, thats the way it should be, i like his ideas, hope the admins like it

Whats up Talbot Just don't bring that 'no snipers if under 10 players' mod here, or I'll have to complain again and get scolded by Pantsofgod.

I have seen the sacrifice thing on an RTCW server before. They used something called XStab and I thought it was awesome.

Sounds pretty cool to me

I like the idea of class reward medals and several of the other ideas, lets get it on!!

These rules should be set with no delay in this server, an espacial mention to /kill.

- Goomba Medal
- Knife Medal
- Sniper Medal
- Poison Medal
- Kill Medal
- Revive Medal
- Sacrifice Medal

these last addons I see them as something that really would help to improve the gameplay, that medal that you get when you sacrifice your lives just to revive teamates is a great idea, an even better when we are dealing with a server where lives are limited.

Ganja Palace already has all those add ons he is talking about. They use it on their Xstab OLTL server which I play on quite often. OLTL and games like Ghost Recon, Raven Shield- increase my skills a lot lol. It's a awesome add-on mod too.

Some things you forgot to mention about XSTAB.
- XSTAB has No rules
- No sprees.
- Written for one life to live servers
- Requires you to install and configure MySQL.
- Only runs on 1 specific version of shrub that only about 1% of all RTCW servers have..
- XSTAB development stopped a while ago.

Things about my mod:
- Everything done with 1 script.
- There is no need to install and configure hugs SQL tables, make changes to 10 different scripts, etc.
- My mod can be up and running on ANY shrub server within 5 minutes.
- My mod is being updated and worked on, with new features added daily.

Come to http://WWW.BEETLEJZ.COM and try the mod for yourself.
