Hi all..

First off I would just like to say this is a great forum for learning all about cod4. I have been playing about 3 weeks now and loved the game so much I decided to put up a server.

I'm not a complete noob admin and have run servers before such as RTCW, TF2 and ET.

I have found these forums very useful for much of the information I need such as adding custom maps, setting up a map rotation and many other things. However, the thing kicking my butt right now is that my server seems to give ALL weapons and perks right from the get go.. I would like for people to have to class up as seems to be the case in most servers out there. Am I missing something?? Anyways, here are my configs. All of them are in the mods/modwarfare directory and there are 4 of them:
** NOTE: Anything in bold is not part of the config file, just used to separate the individual configs here.

Also, one other thing, will ALL players have to restart again or will settings from other servers using modwarfare carry over with their respective players as is the case with ranked servers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry realized this was in the wrong area after the post and couldn't find a delete button. Forum moderator or admin, can you please move this to the server support forum. Thanks.

With this mod enabled all the players on the server have all the unlocks and rank no. 1.
I don't know if it's possible to switch back to the standard behaviour.

Actually .. I think I have it figured out.. you see, all I wanted to do was basically have a stock, ranked/perked server running custom maps.

At first glance (and second and third) it didn't look possible without having a mod that allowed for the ranks/perks system enabled.

Then I came across a server doing exactly what I wanted.. so I knew it was possible.

Reading various forums for a couple of days and not find ANYTHING i was about to give up and then a little tiny piece of information came across my 26" lcd monitor...

Basically, with the 1.5 patch, as long as you were using the fs_game tag, you could create any dir you want in the mods folder and just put in the config files.. NO MOD FILES...

The server will say it's running a mod, when in fact, it's not. It's running stock with custom maps.

So in my case i used +set fs_game mods/modwarfare

I removed the mod files from the directory (z_modwarfare.iwd & mod.ff) thus making the server think there was no mod running.. however allowing me to run custom maps...

As an added bonus, any player that has played on my server ad gained ranks/perks etc, will be able to keep those if they go to another server using the same 'modifications' as mine.

Cheers.
