CoD:WW Competition Mod

Version 1.3 (25.Jan.09)

Introduction :

Welcome to comMod. A unified ruleset war mod for Call of Duty: World at War.
comMod started life as a modification of Promod to allow hardcore mode. Since those
humble beginnings it has gone on to become a war mod in its own right with many features added that have been requested by the CoD:WW community.

With custom weapon select menus, softcore & hardcore modes, sprint enabled, nade
cooking enabled, slight headbob enabled, many game modes like TDM, CTF & HQ, 2v2
modes and much more this makes comMod the premium in unified ruleset war mods.

Why "comMod"? :

comMod started life under the name "noobMod", after alot of user feedback it was deemed that the name wasn`t appropriate for the direction that the mod was going. So
competitionMod was born (comMod)

Installation & Usage :

Upload z_13_commod.iwd, z_svr_13_commod.iwd & mod.ff to a folder called something
along the lines of "comMod" within your "mods" folder. Ideally call the folder something like "comMod_Yourclan_v13", this will stop the kick problem at map change. Adding the new version number will also stop problems occuring for all clients who have downloaded older comMod versions.

Call the directory from your command line.

Mode usage SD:-

Softcore
/rcon commod_mode private_xx (eg, private_10, private_12) [War Mode]
/rcon commod_mode public_xx (eg, public_10, public_12) [Public Mode]

Hardcore
/rcon commod_mode privatehc_xx (eg, privatehc_10, privatehc_12) [War Mode]
/rcon commod_mode publichc_xx (eg, publichc_10, publichc_12) [Public Mode]

2v2
/rcon commod_mode 2v2_xx (eg, 2v2_10, 2v2_12) [2v2 War Mode]
/rcon commod_mode 2v2hc_xx (eg, 2v2hc_10, 2v2hc_12) [2v2 Hardcore War Mode]

1v1
/rcon commod_mode 1v1_xx (eg, 1v1_10, 1v1_12) [1v1 War Mode]
/rcon commod_mode 1v1hc_xx (eg, 1v1hc_10, 1v1hc_12) [1v1 Hardcore War Mode]

CTF, HQ, TDM & DOM
No comMod mode is required to be run for CTF, HQ, TDM & DOM modes.

All that is required is the map is loaded into the required gametype. comMod will
automatically recognise the mode and follow the unified rules of comMod. For example you need to issue the following command to the server :-

[Capture The Flag] /rcon g_gametype ctf
[Headquarters] /rcon g_gametype koth
[Team Deathmatch] /rcon g_gametype tdm
[Domination] /rcon g_gametype dom

You will then need to reload the current map with /rcon map mp_mapname

By default these gametypes will be in Softcode mode. If you required hardcore or 2v2
modes in the above gametypes then firstly run the required gamemode (eg. commod_mode
publichc_10 or 2v2_10) and then follow the above steps to load in CTF, HQ, TDM or DOM.

Quick Menu :
Within the voice command quick menu there is a new comMod menu, accessable by default
by pressing the 'B' key and then option '4' ingame.

In this are three new options, Call Timeout, Suicide and Drop Bomb. These are mostly used for Search & Destroy but the suicide option can be used in any gametype.

Each team has 3 timeouts which last 5 minutes. In timeout mode it is possible to carry on killing but all scores will be stored and replace once the match resumes, after either 5 minutes or when every player presses ready up.

Known Bugs :

Sniper Bug - When holding breath scope zooms out.
Fix - Bind Sprint & Breath to seperate keys, sprint on one and hold breath on another.

mod.ff Bug - COD:WW does not download the new mod.ff and uses the old versions.
Fix - Delete mod.ff from local folders (ie, C:Documents and SettingsXXXXLocal
SettingsApplication DataActivisionCoDWaWmodsComMod)

Kick Bug - Players are kicked at map change for invalid .iwd
Fix - Rename the comMod folder on your server to something unique, eg.

Impure Client - Player kicked for "Impure Client Detected, Invalid .iwd files referenced"
Server Fix *Suggested* - Upload and run all new versions of comMod from new folders, eg,
comMod_clannameVXX (Vxx = V13, V14 etc, etc)
Client Fix - Delete local mods/comMod_clanname folder for the server you are connecting to, can be found at the following locations
