File Description
This mod is completely server-side. Players don't need to download anything to benefit from it's features. Shrub Mod makes many changes to gameplay that would be useful to one-life, limited-lives, and unlimited-lives gameplay. Most of these changes are optional, at the administrator's discretion. The main improvements include:
-Ammo packs give pistol ammo to all and one syringe to medics -Panzerfausts, Venoms, flamethrowers, and Mausers can be disabled -Late joiners (15 seconds after round start) are automatically killed in limited or one-life games -Helmets protect players from their first head shot, giving them only 5 damage, except in the case of a sniper, which still gives full damage -The number of players on each team that still have respawns left is displayed when those figures change in limited or one-life games -Gibs (when a player can no longer be revived) are recorded in console -Players receive point bonuses or reductions for gibbing or team gibbing -When LTs say "I'm a Lieutenant", they are told who the best person to give ammo to is and his location -When a player dies, the nearest medic is asked to revive the fallen player and is given the appropriate location -Players receive statistics on a per-life basis when they limbo, and statistics for the entire round when the round ends

================================================================= shrub mod for Return to Castle Wolfenstein 1.33 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2.04.2b, released 7/14/02 by shrub - [email protected] http://www.udpviper.com/shrubmod/ ================================================================= YOU MUST READ AND AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THE LICENSE IN SECTION 7 BEFORE USING THE INCLUDED .DLL OR .SO FILE. IT'S VERY REASONABLE, AND I THINK YOU'LL AGREE. Note that this *is* a beta release, and I would appreciate any and all bug reports you have. This mod has been renamed to simply "shrub mod", as it is clear that its usefulness has expanded well beyond OLTL servers. What does this mod do? To put it simply, I designed it primarily to give admins increased control over every aspect of gameplay so that they may craft a unique form of playing. These controls include how points are assigned, what weapons are allowed, what kind of actions are permissible, and how various in-game objects are handled. Second are conveniences for the player, including such functions as shoving other players out of the way, comprehensive statistics, automated reminders based on team composition, automated recommendations of who should revive (which medic is closest) and who to give ammo to (who has the greatest need, while factoring in distance from the LT), and more! This mod is completely server-side. The beauty of it is that it requires no client downloads whatsoever. Since there are so many customizable features in this mod, I have set the variables to a default setting that I think would be a great foundation to start from. Details on what these default settings are can be found in Section 2: Installation. As always, I'm open to suggestions! I can be reached at the email address above or on irc.enterthegame.com as "shrub". Want to see this mod in action? Connect your RTCW to jester.udpviper.com:27960!

INSTALLATION ================================================================= Windows: - Create a folder "shrubmod" inside your Return to Castle Wolfenstein Folder e.g. C:Program FilesReturn to Castle Wolfensteinshrubmod - Extract "qagame_mp_x86.dll" into this folder - Run RTCW with the flag "+set fs_game shrubmod" (create a shortcut to RTCW, right click on it and select "Properties", and in the "Target" box, add " +set fs_game shrubmod" at the end) Linux: - Create a directory "shrubmod" in your RTCW directory e.g. "/usr/local/games/wolfenstein/shrubmod" - Extract qagamei386.so into this directory - Run RTCW with the flag "+set fs_game shrubmod" If these directions aren't clear, you probably shouldn't be running a server! QUICK SUMMARY FOR THE IMPATIENT The default settings make the following major changes to gameplay: - Ammo packs give pistol ammo to all and one syringe to medics - Panzerfausts are disabled - Late joiners (15 seconds after round start) are automatically killed in limited or one-life games - Helmets protect players from their first head shot, giving them only 5 damage, except in the case of a sniper, which still gives full damage - If a player calls for ammo and shoots a friendly LT within 2 seconds later, that damage is also returned to the player, unless there is an enemy nearby - The number of players on each team that still have respawns left is displayed when those figures change in limited or one-life games - Gibs (when a player can no longer be revived) are recorded in console - Players receive point bonuses or reductions for gibbing or team gibbing - When LTs say "I'm a Lieutenant", they are told who the best person to give ammo to is and his location - When a player dies, the nearest medic is asked to revive the fallen player and is given the appropriate location - If there are no medics alive on a team, a fallen player is told such - If there are no LTs alive on a team, a player who requests ammo is told such - Players receive statistics on a per-life basis when they limbo, and statistics for the entire round when the round ends - Players can access their round statistics at any time by using /stats - Players can use /classes to see how many of each class are left on a team - Players are notified 5 seconds before a friendly dynamite explodes nearby - Players can shove each other using +salute. The default settings are just enough to allow players to shove someone out of a doorway. Of course, there are many other features that can be selectively enabled, but you'll need to read the rest of this file to find out what they are. ================================================================= 3.

FEATURES ================================================================= SHOVING ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_shove default: 1 turn shoving on/off g_shoveAmount default: 80 amount of shove to apply g_shoveNoZ default: 1 turn z-axis shoving on/off (1 means off) Commands (client-side): +salute When g_shove is on (1), players can shove each other using +salute. For example, players may "/bind mouse2 +salute" in the console. Shoving will push the player they are pointing at an amount proportional to g_shoveAmount. Players can crouch and look up to give some lift to their shove force, but only if g_shoveNoZ is off (0). This feature is useful for use against players who are blocking doorways or other key areas. You can also have fun with it by turning g_shoveNoZ off (0) and increasing g_shoveAmount to something greater, e.g. 300. I'd recommend playing catch: one player stands on another, the bottom player shoves upwards and tries to catch the launched player. TOUCH GIB ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_touchgib default: 0 turn touch gibbing on/off When g_touchgib is on (1), players can gib others instantly by merely touching. Weapons are disabled, so a map_restart is recommended after setting g_touchgib to 1 in order to clear weapons from the game. After map_restart, touch gibbing is enabled 10 seconds after the map is restarted to allow time for players to disperse. If players are facing each other when they touch, there is a high probability that they will gib each other. Note: This is much more fun when respawn times are removed. To do this, use: g_useralliedrespawntime 1 g_useraxisrespawntime 1 To reset respawn times, set them both to 0. STATISTICS ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_showStats default: 1 turn limbo stats on/off g_logStats default: 1 log round stats enable/disable g_lifeStats default: 1 use life stats (1) or round stats (0) Commands (client-side): stats When g_showStats is on (1), upon entering limbo mode, players will be shown the number of kills and revives (if applicable) they made during that life. Additionally, the accuracy percentage (shots landed / shots fired) of any bullet weapons used is displayed. Note that accuracy is still displayed for flamers since they have a pistol and the ability to switch to a venom, mauser, or SMG. New for 2.02: Stats for the entire round (including team kills, gibs, team gibs, shots fired, shots hit, head shots, ammo given, and health given, in addition to the above stats) are now printed in the console at the end of the round for each player. This feature cannot be turned on/off. Current stats for the round may be viewed at any time using the client command "stats". New for 2.03: There seems to be some confusion over the life stats that are displayed during limbo. These particular stats are reset whenever a player dies. This, if a player kills someone, dies, is revived, dies again, and goes into limbo, his stats will display zero kills since he died and did not kill anyone after starting a new life by being respawned. However, that kill still remains counted in the round stats, which are displayed at the end of the round and accessable any time with /stats. With this in mind, if players do not prefer life stats, admins now have the option of setting g_lifeStats to zero (0), which will display the round stats during limbo. When g_logStats is on (1), stats are sent to the server log at the end of the round for all non-late joiners in the following format: ENDROUND: <clientID>: <name>: <lastClass> <numKilled> <numTKed> <numGibbed> <numTGibbed> <numRevived> <healthGiven> <ammoGiven> <shotsFired> <shotsLanded> <headShotsLanded> Note that lastClass can be either: 0 - Sold, 1 - Med, 2 - Engr, 3 - LT New for 2.04: The number of times one has been killed and the kill ratio for that round is now tracked and reported via /stats or the end-of-round stats. LEG SHOT TEMPORARY SPEED REDUCTION - new for 2.04 ----------------------------------------------------------------- g_legDamage default: 0 turn on/off leg shot speed reduction g_legDmgTime default: 300 duration (in ms) of initial speed reduction g_legDmgAmount default: 2 speed reduction constant When g_legDamage is on (1), a player's speed is temporarily reduced when shot in the leg or foot. The reduction in speed is proportional to the ratio of damage taken to current health and the setting g_legDmgAmount. The greater the value of g_legDmgAmount, the greater the speed reduction. The initial speed reduction has a duration of g_legDmgTime milliseconds. After that time has expired, the speed begins to increase exponentially to the normal value. AXIS/ALLIES LEFT ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_showTeamCount default: 1 turn team left reporting on/off g_teamCountConsole default: 1 enable/disable team counts in console When g_teamLeft is on (1), when a player enters limbo mode, the number of axis and allies left per team is displayed to every player in the center of his/her screen. These totals take into account who has respawns left, thus it is particularly useful for OLTL play. If g_maxlives is 0, this information is not displayed, regardless of g_teamLeft. New for 2.03: When g_teamCountConsole is off (0), team counts are not displayed in the console. ALLOW/DISALLOW SOLDIER GUNS ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_allowPF default: 0 allow/disallow panzerfausts g_allowFlamer default: 1 allow/disallow flamethrowers g_allowMauser default: 1 allow/disallow mauser g_allowVenom default: 1 allow/disallow venom gun When g_allowPF is off (0), players will be unable to select the Panzerfaust as their weapon. If they attempt to, they are told that it is not allowed and are automatically switched to their team's default SMG (Thompson or MP40). New for 2.03: Flamethrowers, Mausers, Venoms can be selectively disabled using g_allowFlamer, g_allowMauser, and g_allowVenom, respectively. By default, those three variables are on (1). DISABLE MAP-STARTING VOTES ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_allowStartVotes default: 1 allow/disallow map-starting votes g_maxStartVotes default: 3 number of attempts allowed before player is kicked When g_allowStartVotes is off (0), map-starting votes are disallowed. Specifically, start_match and map_restart are not allowed at any time, and reset_match is not allowed during warmup (so that reset_match can still be used during actual round play in the event of a massive, intentional teamkill). The number of attempts to call a disallowed vote is tracked, and players are warned not to call them after attempting to do so. If the number of attempts meets or exceeds g_maxStartVotes, the player is kicked. DISALLOW LATE JOINS ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_allowLateJoins default: 0 allow/disallow late joins g_lateJoinTime default: 15 time after round start when one is late If g_allowLateJoins is off (0), any players joining the game after g_lateJoinTime seconds will be killed. This method is preferrable to blocking joins using other methods since it allows players to pick their team immediately, without affecting gameplay. Late joins are logged in the following format: Late Joiner: <clientNum>: <clientName> GIB REPORTING/GIB POINTS - new for 2.03: now configurable ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_reportGibs default: 1 enable/disable gib reporting g_gibPoints default: 1 enable/disable gib points g_showTapOut default: 0 turn on/off "tapped out into limbo" msgs When g_reportGibs is on (1), player gibs (when someone transitions from being revivable to limbo or directly from alive to limbo) are now reported in the console and server log. Team gibs are given a red-colored message to distinguish themselves from enemy gibs. Server logging of gibs occurs even when g_reportGibs is off (0). FORMAT: Gib: <gibberClientID> <gibbedClientID>: <gibberName> gibbed <gibbedName> When g_gibPoints is on (1), players receive 1 point for gibbing an enemy and a 3 point deduction for gibbing teammates or gibbing himself. When g_showTapOut is on (1), "tapped out into limbo" messages are displayed in the console. FUN MODE ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_fun default: 0 turn fun mode on/off When g_fun is on (1), the following applies: Commands: /spawnGuns drop between 1 to 10 random guns near player /spawnNades drop 10 nades randomly around player in a "nade shower" Additional Features: Give Ammo on Demand - players are given one grenade and ammo for their two-handed weapon when calling for ammo Give Health on Demand - players are given 20 health when calling for a medic New for 2.04: Requests for ammo and health are silences when fun mode is on to avoid flooding. Grenades given and PF ammo given has also been increased. g_allowLTF must also be on (1) for fun mode to be active. g_allowLTF can only be disabled in the command line (add "+set g_allowLTF 0" to the command). LT DAMAGE RETURN ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_shootLTPenalty default: 1 turn LT damage return on/off g_shootLTPenaltyTime default: 2 amount of time LT penalty applies g_shootLTPenaltyRange default: 1200 enemy detection range When g_shootLTPenalty is on (1), any damage given to a friendly LT for g_shootLTPenaltyTime seconds after calling for ammo is doubled and returned to the shooter. This is intended to curb the practice of shooting LTs to "remind" them to give out ammo. New to 2.02: If an enemy is nearby, LT damage return is automatically disabled! New to 2.03: The range of enemy detection can be customized. By default, g_shootLTPenaltyRange is 1200. LAUNCH/THROW/FLING ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_allowLTF default: 1 enable/disable launch/throw/fling Commands (server-side): launch <clientname> launch <clientnumber> throw <clientname> throw <clientnumber> fling <clientname> fling <clientnumber> Launch propels a player into the air, while throw pushes them forward and slightly into the air. This is intented to be used in conjunction with programs such as Wolfenstein Admin Bot which can parse "say" or "say_team" commands for "launch" and "throw" and a player name and send the appropriate command along with the client number derived from the specified player name. However, there's nothing stopping you from experimenting with the command manually. e.g., if you're the first person to connect, a "launch 0" will launch yourself. New for 2.02: fling has the upwards velocity of launch and a random direction on the x-y plane. New for 2.04: launch/throw/fling have been renamed to launchn/thrown/flingn. New launch/throw/fling commands have been implemented that will allow you to use a client's name instead. Do not use colors when typing the client's name. You may have a maximum of three spaces in the name. If there are more than three spaces, use the client number instead. g_allowLTF must be on (1) for any of the launch/throw/fling commands to work. This variable can only be set to 0 through the command line (add the following: "+set g_allowLTF 0"). It cannot be modified through the console. This is useful for admins who wish to deny launch/throw/fling to rcon users. CANCEL VOTE ----------------------------------------------------------------- Commands (server-side): cancelvote Cancelvote cancels a vote taking place. 5-SECOND DYNAMITE WARNINGS - new for 2.04 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_dynaWarn default: 1 turn on/off 5-second dynamite warnings When g_dynaWarn is on (1), players near a friendly, armed dynamite are warned that the dynamite will detonate 5 seconds prior to it doing so. DISABLE CHECKPOINT FLAG WINS ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_flagWins default: 1 enable/disable checkpoint flag wins When g_flagWins is off (0), checkpoint flags are removed from the map after a map_restart is called. This effectively turns any solely checkpoint map into a team deathmatch, and is not recommended for unlimited life games. DISABLE FLAG POINTS ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_flagPoints default: 0 allow/disallow flag points When g_flagPoints is off (0), players do not receive points for retrieving flags. AMMO PACKS HAVE SYRINGES and PISTOL ROUNDS ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_ammoGivesSyringes default: 1 turn on/off syringes in ammo packs g_ammoGivesPistol default: 1 turn on/off pistol rounds in ammo packs When g_ammoGivesSyringes is on (1), medics will receive one syringe per ammo pack that they pick up. The ten syringe limit still applies. Similarly, when g_ammoGivesPistol is on (1), pistol ammo is refilled by ammo packs. HELMET PROTECTS FROM HEAD SHOTS - now customizable for 2.03 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_helmetProtects default: 1 turn on/off helmet protection g_helmetDamage default: 5 amount of damage first head shot takes When g_helmetProtects is on (1), the first head shot a player receives will take do g_helmetDamage damage on the player and knock off his helmet. The idea here is that the helmet largely protects a player from his first head shot. Note that this applies to all shots except those coming from a sniper, where normal damage still occurs. ENABLE/DISABLE MEDIC SELF-HEALING WHEN CARRYING AN OBJECTIVE - new for 2.04 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_medObjHeal default: 1 turn on/off medic self-healing when carrying obj When g_medObjHeal is off (0), medics cannot heal themselves with their health packs when they are carrying an objective. They may still pick up enemy health packs or health packs from other medics. START OF ROUND AMMO REQUEST PENALTY - new for 2.04 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_startAmmoPenalty default: 1 turn on/off round start ammo request penalty When g_startAmmoPenalty is on (1), anyone who calls for ammo within the first 5 seconds of a round start receives an ammo reduction (20 for flamer, 50 for venom, 3 for others). Their request for ammo is also not broadcast. SPECTATORS CAN TALK TO NON-SPECS - new for 2.02 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_allowSpecChat default: 0 turn on/off spec chat to non-specs When g_allowSpecChat is on (1), spectator chat using the "say" command will also be relayed to non-spectator players, i.e. axis and allies. SPECTATOR LOCKING - new for 2.03 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_lockSpecs default: 0 turn on/off spectator locking When g_lockSpecs is on (1), spectators cannot moved and are forced to look straight up. This is a simple mechanism to help curb any voice chat "cheating" that may occur. It's not perfect, however, as specs can still hear sounds. DISABLE CORPSE SINKING - new for 2.02 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: g_sinkCorpses default: 1 turn on/off corpse sinking When g_sinkCorpses is off (0), corpses will remain on the ground indefinately, unless gibbed by an explosive or other force. Note that this setting will only take affect if g_maxlives is 1. CLASSES ----------------------------------------------------------------- Commands (client-side): classes Upon issuing the "classes" command (either via bind or in the console using /classes), a player will receive, in the center of his/her screen, the number of each class on his/her team. SHOW REVIVES - new for 2.03 ----------------------------------------------------------------- g_showRevives default: 0 turn on/off printing revives in console When g_showRevives is on (1), revives are printed in the console in the format: <revivedName> was revived by <reviverName> CUSTOMIZE BONUS POINTS VALUES - new for 2.03 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Cvars: Name Default Function g_stealObjBonus 10 bonus for stealing objective g_captureObjBonus 15 default bonus for capturing objective g_killCarrierBonus 10 bonus for killing objective carrier g_secureObjBonus 10 bonus for securing objective from slain carrier g_plantBonus 5 bonus for planting dynamite at objective g_diffuseBonus 5 bonus for diffusing dynamite g_destObjBonus* -1 bonus for destroying objective with dynamite g_capBlueObjBonus* -1 bonus for capturing allied objective g_capRedObjBonus* -1 bonus for capturing axis objective * These three bonuses are special in that the points given are specified in the map. To use the map's default values, set these cVars to -1. Anything above or below -1 will override the map's default values. These values are fairly self-explanatory, however, note that g_capBlueObjBonus is added to an allied player who captures an objective for his team. For example, an allied player transmits the documents on mp_beach. Likewise, g_capRedObjBonus is for axis objectives. Note that g_captureObjBonus is rarely used. NON-MODIFIABLE/INTERACTIVE FEATURES ----------------------------------------------------------------- If you are an admin who would like to turn off one of these features, contact me and I'll make it customizable in the next build. ----------------------------------------------------------------- LT Ammo Distribution Prioritizer - new for 2.03 When an LT says "I'm a Lieutenant" to his team, he is told who the best person to give ammo to based on need and distance from the LT. Medic Reminders - new for 2.02 Moments after a player dies, the nearest, living medic is told that the player is down and needs a revive. This process is repeated every 10 seconds. New for 2.03: The location of the downed player is now sent. No Medic Reminders - new for 2.02 If a player dies but is revivable, and there is no medic left on his team in OLTL mode, then he will be reminded of such. No LT Reminders - new for 2.03 If a player requests ammo and no LT is alive or has respawns left, the player is told that no LTs are left. Don't Drop Client if Down If a player is down and waiting for a revive, the server will not drop him/her for inactivity. Thus, g_inactivity can still be used without worrying about its effect on limited-life games. Revive Logging Revives are now logged in the server log. FORMAT: Revive: <reviverClientID> <revivedClientID>: <reviverName> revived <revivedName> 30 second team-change wait is disabled Players no longer need to wait 30 seconds before joining or switching teams. New for 2.03: Delay is back, with a 5 second requirement between team switches to avoid floods. /kill logging /kills are not logged as actual kills, but are logged in the following format: Suicide: <clientNum>: <clientName> Black text can be used at beginning of name - new for 2.04 Black text can now be used at the beginning of a name. Preceeding black text with a karat is no longer necessary. Players can switch teams during warmup - new for 2.04 Regardless of the g_maxlives setting, players can always switch teams during the warmup period. ================================================================= 6.
