Panzerwar Mod Change (archived by Sn4cky)

[Sn4cky]

Updated the list of problems, now looking for someone who is expert in nitmod lua functions and commands :P

You can't give weapons on spawn in N!tmod sadly, at least not in Lua.

What could possibly work tho is using the !give command and give engi stuff everytime someone spawns.

[Sn4cky]

So there is no function in lua that gives weapons... that's a shame, I'll try to !give but it shouldn't work if panzerwar is enabled, at least that's what nitmod tells me when I try

Worst case scenario could be disabling panzerwar, while restricting every weapon but panzerwar weapons and pliers/dyna + giving infinite ammo (just a thought)

If you'd do that in a script specific to those typical obj maps where you need the pliers it wouldn't be too bad I guess

[Sn4cky]

The thing about this is... yeah I was thinking maybe I'd do all that but then I realized it would be too complicated of a ride just to enable some "features" which don't add any advantage to the actual gameplay. It was fine when we had them but they aren't a necessity to the server / mod, so if nobody is really against it then I'd just exclude these from the list.

On a sidenote I've heard that N!trox might be making a comeback sometime soon. If that ever happens I'm going to contact him about adding the option to allow the distribution of weapons via scripts.

We also decided to give XP back to everyone who wants it after the mod change!
Go to the panzerwar server, screencapture it for us and post it here on the thread and we will give you the exact amount back on the test server, as we will use the same user database on the legit panzer server later on!

If by any chance someone here doesn't know how to screencapture it:
- bind any key you'd like to use as a screenshooting key ( in console: /bind [key] autoscreenshot )
- hold tab to show players and your XP, while holding it press the key you previously binded as screenshooting key

just giving me 400k will make me happy since im at 399k

If nobody is having more problems / thoughts about the mod and settings then the configuration is coming to an end soon. Any input is welcome as long as it's helpful. Also feel free to ask questions about anything regarding the mod or the change.

i know this might sound stupid but can you enable teamshooting for teamwork reasons (such as football map)

[Sn4cky]

No. This was decided. As long as it was Jaymod we couldn't really have a way of disabling teamshooting but nitmod offers this option. If you check the rules of panzerwar you can see that teamshooting is not allowed and there are no exclusions. We decided to enforce this rule from this point with the mod change. From now on teamshooting will only be enabled when there is a special event (aka teamshooting and we can discuss about other occasions as well) but will be disabled by default. (it can be rather annoying)
