Crouch Server - Now Available

Anonymous · February 22, 2009, 12:42:14 PM

We have setup the OpenWarfare mod on the Crouch server. This allows us to restrict addons.

NB, This mod DOES NOT mess with your existing profile. When you join the crouch server your profile willl be the one for the crouch server. When you join a ranked server (our public one for instance) you will get your normal, hard-earned, rank and perks :thumbsup:

When you first join the server you will download a couple of small files and then you will see a welcome screen. After reading messages press escape to bypass welcome screen, pick auto-join, select a class and then you will be "power-ranked" to level 55 - this applies to this mod only and doesn't affect your rank on any normally ranked server; however it does mean that we have a level playing field between us.

Please note that you CAN setup custom classes in this mod but that many items are restricted (ACOG Scopes, Deagle, Rocket Launchers, Last-Stand, Martyr etc). To setup custom classes just join the server then leave the server and go to your main menu for cod4. Your custom settings are now for the OpenWarfare mod you can create the classes you want in slow time. When you join a normal ranked server your classes will revert automatically

Will this save our settings for when we join the server again? Cause otherwise it will be a bit of a waste to set up everything to lose it when you rejoin a ranked.

It acts just like a ranked server, it saves your settings once you make them. It stores everything in a separate mod folder on your PC so if you backup your profile it will backup the settings for the crouch server too

Cheers BB, i have sorted my profiles/items to work with the above limitations. It stored everything nicely, and i cant wait to shoot all of you

Gimme a tap on steam when your all playing

Nerve racking but fabulous!

DuVeL · February 22, 2009, 10:40:41 PM

I've played on it tonight and it looked good to me.
I'll sort the guns and such out soon, thanks for the list.

Sorry I left, machine crashed then blue screened. Might be on tonight

delankster · February 23, 2009, 09:59:27 AM

must admit i really enjoyed it last night :yahoo:

and appologise for the tk's kknd :blush2: it takes a little getting used to having no name tags and instead look for the uniform.

not sure if its right but i still had access to all the weapons and perks when sorting out a class offline, i assume they are blocked when you join our server ??

but must say great work BB :worship:

Bastet · February 23, 2009, 09:02:06 PM

Lots of TK's from me too, but what really is a bit imbalanced at the moment is the gilly suits in combination with not having team tags. You can get up close and just handgun or knife people.

BrotherTobious · February 24, 2009, 09:03:10 AM

Yeah few from me, had real trouble tell the difference in that split second. Stood behind Baset last night for 2 mins trying to figure out if he is good or bad. The ill fated gilly!! He turn around and killed me.

Still not too sure, I get why we are trying this, and enjoyed the games mostly but on backlot, died so many times, I think I am missing something.

On changes to the server, my suggestion is no more helicopter, because if you are trying to cross a bit of open ground you move at such a slow pace you cant do it. With a heli in running around you are so pinned down till it gone or killed that in a game of HQ or Dom it can be game over.

I think that airstrikes should be left in becuase they are useful and there is a way to avoid it.

I know it early days and there is a lot to work out but these are my thoughts atm.
