/GS/ AddOnPackers!:D


(gs_warrior) #1

Read this once, and you will never forget this server again:

ok so take a deep breath, get a cup of tea, or a ice cold bottle of coca cola, and enjoy reading, it will make your life easier:

Downloading mods over mods, files over files, pk3s over pk3s got you bored?
same here.
I’m neo, and im not afarid to say that looking at the screen while it downloads a 100mbs mod, and im just getting angry, and reallly impatience.
I want to play with my friends et without making them download all our clan mods, yes they are really cool and i like them very much, but why my friends need to suffer from it?!

or maybe your fps is low and you want to boost it up a bit?!

solution:
Add-Ons-Packer server.

here is an example

This is Tyler, and this is what his screen shows:

This is me, and this is what my screen shows:

We both share the same server at the same time, we both can play on more than one different mod, we both, enjoying it without any bugs, or lag, or low fps ever.

The et playing behavior is being changed, downloading files before getting into the server counts has a history now.

We’ve made a very smart acting server, which have even smarter settings, this server will provide you the perfect solution of sharing a server with your total own settings and mods.

you can see the new way of playing et by 3 groups:
Group #1:
No mods at all, once you log in the server you will see a look of an etpub server, guests will join instantly, just like you, without the need to download anything.

Group #2:
Bug fixes mods only, your double jump will be fixed, some moving bugs will be removed, and you will enjoy a smoother game.

Group #3:
Mods, mods and again mods, you love ET skin packs? maybe new guns? or even 300 new more sounds in your vsays menu, then this is the group that you belong.

As i mentioned before, all the types of groups of people can play together at the same time in the server, some have lots of mods, and some have a bit, or even none.

To have the mods you want in the server you need to self download them, by your own, at anytime, from our file hoster, for free, or even put your own costum mods if you want to.
they all should be placed in your gsmod/ folder.

the files in the file hoster will be divided into 2 type of groups:

They all have
GSPackage…pk3
in their name

1)thos who have
GS_MOD_Package…pk3
in their name, are costum made mods, like skins,like vsays,like weapons,like music,like pictures and like textures files which were packed into pk3 files just for you

2)those who have
GS_BASE_Package…pk3
in their name, are basically bug fixes, and game smoothers, they are used to align your connections with the server.

That’s it.

Mods can be found here:
http://ef.godsquadgaming.com/

Remember, only “GSPackage…pk3” will fit 120% to the server, others might fit 60% or less.

one more thing, after each Package there is the name of the mod and then its release date, you must have only the l8est mod placed in your gsmod folder, otherwise the packages will collision with each other which will cause you low fps, and lags.

got confused? let me try to simplify it

_GS_ZZZZ_Package_YYYY_VX-X-X.pk3.pk3

GS means this is a mod that was made in the GS clan

ZZZZ gives you the type of the pk3 Mods(add ons)\Base(game smoothers)

Package ensures you the Add-On-Packer server supports the file 120%ly

YYYY means the name of the mod

V and X-X-X gives you the version( release date ) of the file,

NOTE: only the l8est version of YYYY should be in your gsmod folder.

thats it, your ready to add your mods. remember, mods that were sticked to your etmain folder from other servers might show up, if you hit any “ERRORS” or “WARNINGS” please pm me them, and i’ll do the best to boost your settings and gameplay, trust me, it will do you & us only good.

thats it, hope you just finished your drink. any questions are well acceptable, and will be added to this topic for sure.

reporting,
neo.


this next section is gonna be updated from time to time and it will help you know what mods we got, and whats inside them:

http://ef.godsquadgaming.com/_GS_MOD_Package_Jaffa_V4-1-09.pk3 :
Warning this mod collision with Duke_V3-1-09 mod file.

  1. Axis & Allies stargate victory sounds
  2. Axis uniform skins for all of the classes
  3. MP40 and thompsons were replaced with the Staff weapon
  4. Pistols have been replaced with the Zat weapon
  5. All new sounds for the new weapons

http://ef.godsquadgaming.com/_GS_MOD_Package_Duke_V4-1-09.pk3 :
Warning this mod collision with Jaffa_V4-1-09 mod file.

  1. Dynamite has been changed to a small nuclear bomb. //V3-1-09
  2. Chain-Gun has MP40 and Thompson. //V4-1-09

http://ef.godsquadgaming.com/_GS_BASE_Package_Smoothing_V3-1-09.zip :
Noitce: it is a zip file, just unzip it to your gsmod folder, and overwrite the older files

  1. Client smoothing (double jump fixing included)

Q:
Are you saying you can join the server and load a Mod and only you will see it and it only affects you?

A:
theoretically, yes, but there are some corners that you cannot round, like making triple jump or getting into a tank, which is still under consideration, i just need much more time than i have to work on it, to open up possibilties and to create a potential on the server

Q:
The smoothing file is gone and i get an error when i click on the link you provided.

A:
Yeah, war forgot to upload the file, or deleted the wrong one. (FIXED)

Q:
These packs, are the gonna make a unfair advantage to those who have the mod over those who hasn’t (More powerfull weapons larger hitboxes and stuff like that)

Or is it only graphical changes and optimizing…

A:
its the latter option of course, we are against any unfair advantage in the game, and the mods will basically replace things you see, the dmg and other deeper config settings can be found in a small fully locked safe made of steel hidden inside the server’s files,:slight_smile:


(IndyJones) #2

too much to read, it’s just unpure server, right?

Quite untrue, you still can gain huge advantage, for example if you play with default skins, it has good camo on some maps/places. But if you can have your own skin mod, you could just make the enemy have bright pink skin and have a huge advantage, because players will pop out from the scenery and cheat that way. That’s probably one reason why there aren’t many unpure servers.

If I understood right, this is a client side and server cannot affect it too much. If that’s the case, better make it serverside only. If it is serverside only already I misunderstood. So you should be only able to choose between the default skins/sounds and the skin/sound pack of the server you are currently playing on.


(gs_warrior) #4

it is client side but will be server side soon
the reason we posted was to get some feed back and some ideas
thanks for your opions so far and your suggestions


(shagileo) #5

Well seems like a good thing, but I follow what Sage said.

Ps.: that Star Gate skin (2nd screen) is kinda cough flat :slight_smile:


(gs_warrior) #6

well it seems to be working the server is getting a lot of hits by players and visitors so something there that thay like lol


(huPoo) #7

You could pinpoint the whole idea in 30 words…Info texts shouldn’t need any introduction to the text. I read the whole text and I have no idea what this is about? Somer super big mod package with unpure server? What’s the point?


(Nail) #8

yep, gotta love a server that lets you colour the enemy bright red so you can’t miss them

:eek:

:stroggbanana:


(shagileo) #9

Hmm, well I like the idea, but Nail has got a big point.
Though, new or ‘just’ players won’t amuse themselves with making skins to color the enemy red, but others will.

This idea should be stabilized.


(stealth6) #10

aimbots ftw?


(Nail) #11

exactly, unpure server = cheaters paradise


(gs_warrior) #12

well the server is running sv_pure 1 so
its unfair to call it unpure and its a busy server
i aslo see the point about the making players pink or red but you forget you can also do that with the glow command
and i am not sure but no one call that cheating or an unfare advantage

one thing we do stream pb bans on this server

thanks for all the replies so far


(shagileo) #13

Well the !glow command is a jaymod specific command used by server admins or given by a certain rank.
What you say is true: players from opposite teams can be identified by team-based colors, but I doubt the fact when I randomly connect on a jaymod server, I’m given the benefit of using the !glow command right away.

But, heck with it; if your server is doing fine, then I don’t see any problem in it and I wish you the best of luck in tuning up the whole idea .


(ailmanki) #14

well I am thinking of something similar for a NQ server… but never made it…

not bad to have the skins optional, but as they are skins maybe call them so… will be less confusing, as you are not providing different mods.
All just play etpub on your server, well except the client mod - but that allows for nothing which ain’t supported by the server mod.

Yet I wonder how its possible that the clients are optional … I thought that works only with unpure ?!


(gs_warrior) #15

Thank you for the feed back

about the admin commands on all of our servers we give admin lvls to all players so that would give you some commands as soon as you log on 2 1/2 years ago we where the Freed Admin server you might of seen on ET 2.55 and 2.60…
most commands we allow a guest to have are the so called fun commands
no commands that thay could use to kick ban or hurt a players (example like the throw or gib command is only given to older clan officers)

and yes its doing great server is ranked at 19 on spladder ladder
i know its only one ranking system…


(Cambodunum) #16
