For all SD modes please make sure the server is in SD mode before issuing one of the above commands, with g_gametype SD

CTF, HQ, TDM, DOM & SAB

You have the ability to control the roundtime of CTF, HQ, TDM, DOM & SAB modes in both private (match) and public modes.

For public modes the timelimits will follow those set in your server.cfg so make sure the following are set to your requirements as the mod will use these as the time settings for the mentioned gametypes :-

HQ - scr_koth_timelimit "x"
TDM - scr_tdm_timelimit "x"
CTF - scr_ctf_timelimit "x"
DOM - scr_dom_timelimit "x"
SAB - scr_sab_timelimit "x"

For private (match) modes the timelimits can now be set via console using the commod_mode private_XX command.

Firstly you should make sure the server is in the required gametype mode by issuing one of the following commands via console :-

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

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

You can now set the timelimit of each side (2 sides by default [4 for SAB]) of the map by using the following commands :-

Softcore
/rcon commod_mode private_xx (eg, private_10, private_15) [War Mode]

Hardcore
/rcon commod_mode privatehc_xx (eg, privatehc_10, privatehc_15) [War Mode]

2v2
/rcon commod_mode 2v2_xx (eg, 2v2_10, 2v2_15) [2v2 War Mode]
/rcon commod_mode 2v2hc_xx (eg, 2v2hc_10, 2v2hc_15) [2v2 Hardcore War Mode]

1v1
/rcon commod_mode 1v1_xx (eg, 1v1_10, 1v1_15) [1v1 War Mode]
/rcon commod_mode 1v1hc_xx (eg, 1v1hc_10, 1v1hc_15) [1v1 Hardcore War Mode]

Rifles Only
Rifles only mode can be used in conjunction with any other mode, public, private, 2v2, CTF, TDM, etc.

To activate Rifles only mode you need to add a space and the word "rifles" to the end of any mode your choose.

eg;
/rcon commod_mode 2v2 rifles
/rcon commod_mode public_10 rifles
/rcon commod_mode private12 rifles

This mode will allow the selection of only bolt & semi rifles, no other weapons will be selectable.

Quick Menu :

Within the voice command quick menu there is a 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.

Player Options :

It is possible for players to control their own FoV, Max FPS, Max Packets and enable/disable items like drawring FPS and Lagometer. This can be achieved by ingame by accessing the comMod Advanced options. This is possible by pressing ESC -> Click Options -> Click mMultiplayer Options -> See bottom right hand corner.

Please make sure that your settings stay within the league rules you are playing.

Debranding Your Server :

It is always handy to have the CM 1.5| branding at the start of your server hostname, especially for public servers where people will actively search out comMod servers to play on. If you wish to remove this branding then it is possible by adding the following line to your server.cfg :-

set commod_nobranding 1

Test Server :

Why not try the public comMod test server, always running the latest version. Give it a try,

78.129.202.14:28970

Currently running in mixed Softcore Public mode.
