nothing like quoting one’s self:

Like the popular RTCW Shrubmod, it is server side only so clients (players) dont need to download anything. I do however suggest players read the documentation, which includes the large number of changes from “vanilla” ET. I suggest against just going on a server to try it out since Shrub has most of its features as options which as disabled as default, so it may be confusing as to what Shrub does.

Several nice features imo. I’m guessing the following will end up being very common on shrub servers (ok ok so really these are just what i noted down for mine :D):
set g_weapons “14”
set g_slashKill “4”
set g_voting “1”
set g_logOptions “8”
set g_intermissionTime “30”
set g_privateMessages “1”
set g_spectator “5”
set g_shortcuts “1”

You definately want 10, or maybe 11, but at least turn on the nice adrenaline countdown timer.

Also, enable g_shove 100, its great, and g_XPSave 3 is real handy.

Personally, g_forceLimboHealth 1 is good, g_classChange 1 and g_dragCorpse 1 doesnt hurt anything, and g_packDistance 3 is nice.

Don’t forget to set g_shrubbot to your shrubbot.cfg file so you can use all the fun !commands

(Ifurita) #4

sounds like a good set of changes, except for g_weapons 14. I’d propose g_weapons 22 or you’re basically giving LTs, when they would get an airstrike full warning, to have unlimited smoke grenades/airstrike warnings

I run g_weapons 22 on my server actually. 64.246.54.6:27969

I haven’t tested it on the released shrubmod yet, but according to the documentation, the power of the Sten gun is cut way down. You no longer get a reliable, non-overheating Sten from HeavyWeapons2.

I can understand why he’d want to change that- it doesn’t make much sense- but other changes should come along with it. HW2 is nearly useless now- heat-resistance doesn’t help a large machinegun very much. But CovertOps3 does help you aim a big MG much better. You can actually hit reliably at along ranges! (See here: http://hallelujah.wolfenstein.ru/rtcw/et/screens/MG42_spread.jpg)
The shrub docs don’t mention anything about turning off the crossover from CO3. This effect is futher pictured in this forum post: http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19999#19999. CO3 should not improve your MP40 accuracy, but it does!

I’d suggest that HW2 be changed to improve accuracy and deployment time of heavy weapons, and that CO3 improve accuracy and overheating of all Covert guns. The normal Sten sucks- 16 shots at 14 damage each is 224 damage, vs 3018=540 for the Thompson. The improved Sten gives 1432=448, which with the accuracy and silence of the weapon balances nicely against an SMG. (Maybe doubling the overheat limit for the gun is excessive, but you need to get a bonus over 16 shots to make it a useful weapon).

(Ark42) #7

I can assure you both of these carry overs are considered bugs, we just didnt realize the mg42 thing until close before 1.0 was released. CO3 will not carry over to soldiers in the future, just as HEAVY weapons L2 will not carry over to the LIGHT weapon, sten.

XP saving becomes a problem on max lives servers. I was just playing on ND80’s 3 strikes (3 lives) server, and one person kept leaving when he ran out of lives and rejoining. He didn’t lose any XP, thanks to XP saving, but got at least 1 life back, which is significant when everyone starts with 3. If XP saving is on, it should also save lives, so that if you run out and reconnect, you’re still out.

(Ark42) #9

Shrub says he will fix this shortly, and since ND80 is one of the beta testers, they will likely have a fix soon.

(Ifurita) #10

Can he also add a text shortcut [a] for the amount of ammo you have for the current weapon [w]?

Thanks

(Ark42) #11

[a] is the name of the person who last gave you ammo, but I agree that should be added

(Ifurita) #12

[b] for bullets?

(Pamper) #13

Here’s a fun bug I found on a shrub server using shoving.

A guy goes 999 in our spawn doorway. Even though we can walk around him, I shove him out of the way. He moves some- but so do I. It’s as if a ball of force is created when I shove, which pushes both of us back. This forceball eventually fades out. But there’s other problems.

The shoved man has been folded in half! He’s now floating in the air, with his legs and chest compressed together. His legs are still walking. We all gather around to stare at him, and people try to shoot him. But he’s invulnerable… or actually, his hitbox has been left behind where I shoved him from. Eventually I go to shoot there, and he dies. Medics try to heal the floating dead man, but can’t because of the hitbox.

If someone would like a demo of this, tell me where to send.
EDIT: Oops, I forgot. A minute after this happened, the server totally crashed (I assume, it could’ve just been unplugged). Maybe it was related.

(Ark42) #14

Dunno if i would really consider it a bug, but its a known glitch, what can you expect from 999ers though.

(Ifurita) #15

OMG!!! You pushed his SOUL right out of his body1!!! Yikes!!!

(Sgt_mac) #16

Just went to that link.

Has the ET version been removed.I only saw the wolf 1.4 version (RTCW)
Or is the one for ET as well :???:

(Pamper) #17

Since the server knows that the player is lagged out, I’d expect it to completely take over his movement, and allow other people to interact with him exactly as normal.

(Majin) #18

The file isn’t directly linked to on that site.

Busy implementing on server right now.
Good job all those that were involved
