Changes
-----------
1.7:
Added mp_offices_v3, mp_pk_harbor and mp_qmx_matmata to CTF, CTFB and HTF
Added dvar to enable/disable the xp hud score points (+5 etc)
Added persistent ranking , this can be chosen in 2 options:
Option 1: set ace_fullmetal "0"
Option 2: set ace_fullmetal "1"

Option 1: gives persistent ranking with custom weapon classes, as you rank up you will earn weapons and perks that will be unlocked when achieved a certain rank you will be able to make a custom class.
Its just like on a unmodded server or socalled "ranked" server..except you have all other mod features.

Option 2: gives persistent ranking WITHOUT weapon classes (YET) but you will have all weapons available to you from the start. You rank up without the need to unlock weapons and perks coz you already have all of them.

The 2 modes are interchangeable, meaning if you switch from mode 1 to 2 or vice versa the rank you have is the same on both modes.


Ranks you earned will be the same on EVERY ACE 1.7 server and onwards IF the servers use the same name for their fs_game folder.
Once the fs_game folder name is changed or different on another server you will start from rank 1 again on that server


Oldschool is available if you set the dvar set ace_fullmetal "0"

Fixed HTF , didn’t start up due to me forgetting to add a code line.

Initial release




Installation:
-----------
Place both the mod.ff file and the z_ace1.7.iwd in your uniquely named fs_game folder.
Place ALL the .cfg files in your uniquely named fs_game folder and edit them as you see fit.
Place both the mod.ff file and the z_ace1.7.iwd in your http-redirect folder if you use http-redirect.

if you want the hitblips on compass unpack the mod_ff_red_hit_blips.zip and place the mod.ff on the server and redirect.
if you do NOT want the hitblips on compass unpack the mod_ff_no_red_hit_blips.zip and place the mod.ff on the server and redirect.

To uninstall the mod...just delete all the above mentioned files from the fs_game folder.

To make custom logo's read the pdf file that comes with the mod (docs directory)



Known / Possible issues
-----------
By default the cod4 intro screen displays a scrolling text of my website, if you dont want that then delete
bg_fogscrollthin.iwi from the iwd (images folder)..this must be done on both client and server to keep it pure.
Or recreate it with your own site or text ofcourse Smiley

Some vid cards MIGHT experience an error about the logo_cod2.iwi , if so you can delete this .iwi at the same
way as discribed above.

camping punishment marked on compass is not compatible with bots, they stay marked unless killed (normal players arent affected)

Also you can not callvote through the ingame callvote gametype/map option for a custom gametype, this is a limitation of the cod4 engine.

Linux servers only:
Linux servers WIL NOT STARTUP with one of the custom gametypes, admin should manually rotate the gametype to a custom one
