Introduction

This manual are not updated for 1.5 yet. Warning, do not have your server on autoassign teams since there are reports claiming that can force the mod to crash. This is being worked on!Welcome to Tactical Realism Mod for Call of Duty 4. This mod is intended to provide a more realistic, immersive game experience and to promote tactical gameplay.

This mod is a server-side only mod. Players are not required to download anything but the mandatory cod4 mod.ff in order to enjoy the mod on your server.

2. Settings

There are dozens of settings for TRM 1.5b, which is why we recommend using a config file to set up your server. Here is the complete list and a brief description of each setting. The following section will provide a detailed explanation of their use and functions. To change a setting, the dvar must be preceded by "set". Here are some guidelines to remember while reading through the list:

<#> <== This means you have to enter a specific value.

"#" <== Any number may be used.

"abc" <== Whatever you type will become the setting's value. For example, "TRM" would set the value to TRM. Use “” to clear these values (no space).

"1" <== These settings are turned on with a "1" and turned off with a "0".

Note: All settings can be turned on, off or changed using the game’s console. However, some features require a map_restart in order to take effect.
