Call of Duty 4 Promod : Version 2

www.cod4promod.com

Promod is a competitive mod built to replace the aging and undeveloped PAM 4. It has been developed around the needs of both the LAN and invite communities.

It is currently scheduled to be used in most of the major summer tournaments.

2. Player Guide

Bomb drop:
To drop the bomb, you can bind the key from controls->multiplayer options or use the quickcommands->promod menu directly if you prefer it unbinded.

Calling a timeout:
To call a timeout, press quickcommands then promod, and press ‘Timeout’ from here. The timeout will occur next round and will last a maximum of 5 minutes

Suicide:
To suicide, you can bind the key from controls->multiplayer options or use the quickcommands->promod menu directly if you prefer it unbinded.

Receiving accuracy stats:
You receive the accuracy stats at the end of the game, if you prefer however, use the quickcommands->promod menu.

Field of view:
To get a relative field of view of 80 (normal) type /cg_fov 71.1

Quick selecting weapons:
Here are some examples, with X bound as the weapon select button from the controls->multiplayer options menu.

X16 : AK47, Smoke
X1416 : AK47, Flash
X26 : AK74u, Smoke
X2416 : AK74u, Flash

How to not see camouflage:
Options->Multiplayer Options->
or r_detail 0

How to killspec:
Join the game, select a team, do not pick a weapon. Instead simply press escape. You will not spawn for the remainder of the game unless you pick a weapon. Remember to ready up during half time

Sensitivity Fix:
Divide your sens by 1.125 if it feels too fast

3. Admin Guide

Installing the mod:
Unzip the contents of this zip file to your servers mod directory. I advise you do not use the PAM directory, but create a new folder for promod (ie promod_final), and set your servers ‘fs_game’ to boot from this, via your control panel. If you have problems doing this, email your provider.

Make sure any IWD files except the ones in this zip file are deleted. Promod may refuse to run with any non-authorised IWD’s

Ensuring the IWD sum/mismatch is avoided:
Make sure promod is in its own folder, ideally something unique (e.g mods\promod_12june2008). Do not rename the mod.ff files.
I recommend you rename promod_final****.iwd to something random. E.g promod_final_2378798.iwd

Changing mode:
rcon promod_mode public_mr10
rcon promod_mode lan_mr13
rcon promod_mode online_mr16

Please use online for any match server. The lan modes are specifically designed for registration during LAN events only. Online mode will give better reg during online play.

For an overtime (e.g mr3), you can simply use rcon promod_mode online_mr3 or rcon promod_mode lan_mr3

For public tdm/dm servers, use rcon promod_mode comp_public.

4. Shoutcast Guide

The overhead map:
When using the overhead map, I suggest you pick a player to spectate first, this will give you his view of the map, including objectives and bomb sites. The overhead map during freespec is purely just the map image

5. League Guide

The ruleset:
•   6 second strat time
•   3 SMG limit - with the promod smg fix
•   1 sniper - with awp fix
•   No-sway fix
•   45 second bomb fuse
•   1:45 minute round length
•   5 second plant time
•   7 second defuse time
•   Codqcup fall damage
•   LMG Disabled
•   Red-dot sight disabled
•   Bandolier/stopping power fixed perks

PAM Compatibility:

Promod is currently not compatible with PAM. My suggestion to leagues is to currently allow either PAM or Promod for those rulesets which would allow either.

I will contact all league admins shortly regarding the future of promod

Punkbuster Streaming:

The following dvars must not be locked:
g_compassShowEnemies (needed for shoutcasting)
dynent_active
r_normalmap
r_specularocolorscale
r_desaturation
aim_automelee_enabled
aim_automelee_range\
bg_bobMax
cg_fovScale
bg_bobAmplitudeStanding
bg_bobAmplitudeSprinting
bg_bobAmplitudeDucked
bg_bobAmplitudeProned

If anyone has problems with them, use /rcon pb_sv_cvarempty as a temporary measure till your league fixes it

Pff...San na ginetai kideia moiazei otan ksekinaei ka8e round. Par'ola auta polu kalutero k protimotero apo pam mode imo.

[zbouaerg]

Τυχαίνει και σε άλλους να μη λειτουργεί το autoassign και άλλα bugs με το team & weapon choice κλπ; Παράξενο...
Επίσης, το "explosives planted" πιστεύω θα στοιχίσει rounds σε κόσμο τόσο γελοίο που είναι.
