General Changes on Panzerwar! (archived by Sn4cky)

[Sn4cky]

Greetings fellow Panzerwar members,

It has been decided that the mod of Panzerwar could use some changes.

Jaymod is decent with a few customizations and even with enhmod added it's just not what we want. Jaymod has security issues and enhmod is very buggy giving us a hard time to configure the server to our likings. That is why we made the decision to change the server's main mod from Jaymod to ETNAM. This mod offers a lot more customization in general and it also offers lua support which is another great thing what is useful.

We have had a talk with Butcher and he recommended the change of the mod to attract more guests plus he said he would enjoy it more too and would visit us more often. We also started liking ETNAM more and more, we have had some nice matches and especially liked how you can control so many things in the server settings, panzer speed, damage etc...

We know it's nothing like Jaymod but it will be a nice addition to the server and it will generate some activity for sure.

The changes that affect the server and its settings:

• Grenades / molotovs will be disabled because of the lack of mod support
  
• Panzerfaust speed will be decreased a little bit to make things more interesting (can be tweaked later if we do not like it)
  
• Panzerfausts will have limited ammo from now on due to lack of configurable settings (players will have to resupply after 4 shots)
  
• The waiting time between panzer shots will be increased to 3 seconds to prevent spam (which makes the server lag)
  
• Thumper will be enabled
  
• Throwing knife will be enabled with 100 ammo
  
• Panzerfaust damage will be reduced slightly so now it will take two hits to kill a player
  
• Mapvote will be enabled at the end of every map
  
• Few objective maps like glider will be added
  
• Parachute will be enabled
  

The changes will take effect this evening, we are gonna be setting the server up today and apply the changes in the evening.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

Greetings, The Panzerwar Supremes!

Nice, finally we can practise our aims even more. I always thought a one shot kill was a bit too easy to play.
Big plus to adding glider, really cool that we can combine panzer with objective.
Dunno if reducing the speed will be any good though, might make it too hard to kill and too easy to avoid don't you think?

We will see how it will work out. :P

1. A new mod is a good idea, though I don't expect many new guests to join we should test it of course.
2. The reduced speed is very important to aim better.
3. I always wanted to shoot two or even more times to kill a player in mid air, it would look great
4. The limited shots are the best imo because when you don't have many shots left you choose wisely where to shoot xD
5. Throwing knives! Yaaaaaaay
6. Glider must be the best on the whole page xD
