CTF1

Clanring CTF Home Server v2.3

The Clanring CTF Home server gives clans a enhanced way to play matches, a rally timer for even starts, enhaced stats and scoring and easily accessable server settings with a simple 4 digit admin code. It can also function as a regular Threewav CTF4 server in skirmish mode while giving the ability for players to warp to any level they choose. Most servers will prolly be set to run in skirmish mode on the servers public port and in Clanring mode on the private port. There have been quite a few addidtions since Marmots ver 1.09 but we all owe credit to him for the entire Clanring server concept, we hope to continue his direction in our continuations of his mods. - John Bock/Disciple

Basic Setup

What you get in the crctf2x.* file:

This document in html format and MS Word format.

The crctf2x.txt file with basic info and version updates.

A progs folder containing all the Crctf qc files.

Proqcc.exe and the proqcc readme, the best qc compiler avaliable today.

A sample autoexec.cfg for the server itself.

Instructions - Setup

There are only a couple steps that need to be taken to setup a clanring server. This setup is done by setting a couple of variables and recompiling the server code. All settings are located in the settings.qc file. These settings are as follows.

ADMIN_CODE_REAL ==> the 4 digit code used to get admin powers

LOCKOUT ==> Default value for lockout 1 enables, 0 disables

LOCK_NUM ==> Default value for lockmax, 2 => 8 0 disables

LOCK_TEAM ==> Default value for lockteam, 2 => 8

DEBUGGING ==> Do not turn this on unless testing, removes all security from server.

TEAM_CAPTURE_CUSTOM ==> 1 enables, 0 disables. This is the custom Threewave CTF files, you want to run this, except under extremely rare circumstances.

OBSERVER_ENTRY ==> 1 enables, 0 disables. Whether or not you enter the server as an observer.

FORCE_RESPAWN ==> the number of seconds till players are automatically respawned, 0 disables

LOCK_LEVEL ==> locks the game onto a single level 1 enables, 0 disables

TM_SV_AIM ==> if sv_aim 0.93 should be used in teamplay; 1 enables, 0 disables

OVERRIDE_VOTES ==> percentage of players needed to start timer with override function

AUTO_RESPAWN ==> How long before a player auotmatically respawns.

The next things you want to take care of are the server greeting messages, what a player sees when he connects. The greeting can be anything you want as long as it contains the string “Running Clanring CTF Home Server v2.3” as the second line.

SERVER_GREETING_CLANRING ==> This is what a player will see if entering in Clanring mode.

SERVER_GREETING_RED ==> This is what the player will see if entering while the server is in skirmish mode and is put on the red team.

SERVER _GREETING_BLUE ==> This is what the player will see if entering while the server is in skirmish mode and is put on the blue team.

SERVER_GREETING_OBSERVER ==> This is what the player will see when entering as an obserever.

Next you’ll want to set the level sequence, you get to run through 25 levels, if you don’t have 25 levels you want to cycle through just put “none” in the slot. Example:

level_1 = "ctf1";

level_2 = "ctf2";

level_3 = "ctf3";

level_4 = "ctf4";

level_5 = "ctf5";

level_6 = "ctf6";

level_7 = "ctf7";

level_8 = "ctf8";

level_7 = "ctf2m1";

level_8 = "ctf2m2";

level_9 = "ctf2m3";

level_10 = "ctf2m4";

level_11 = "ctf2m5";

level_12 = "ctf2m6";

level_13 = "ctf2m7";

level_14 = "ctf2m8";

level_15 = "none";

level_16 = "none";

level_17 = "none";

level_18 = "none";

level_19 = "none";

level_20 = "none";

level_21 = "none";

level_22 = "none";

level_23 = "none";

level_24 = "none";

level_25 = "none";

You will also set your custom level names here if you have any. Follow the same format as the other level sequence. Example:

custom_1 = "cheater";

custom_2 = "none";

custom_3 = "none";

custom_4 = "none";

custom_5 = "none";

custom_6 = "none";

custom_7 = "none";

custom_8 = "none";

custom_7 = "none";

custom_8 = "none";

Thats all the qc files you will have to modify, after you set these variables run the ProQCC.exe compiler in the porgs directory. This will create the progs.dat for the server, next you’ll have to set the samelevel and other server settings in the autoexec.cfg.

The samelevel variable works like the teamplay one in CTF. Add up the features you want, and the total is your samelevel setting. Most likely, you'll want to run "samelevel 7". (you want the server to run in non-clanring mode by default, and have it switch to clanring when you need it for competition)

TEAM_HEALTH_PROTECT = 1; // No health damage from friendly fire

TEAM_ARMOR_PROTECT = 2; // No armor damage from friendly fire

TEAM_DROP_ITEMS = 4;// Allow players to drop packs and weapons

CLANRING_MODE = 8;// Clanring competition mode

TEAM_STATIC_TEAMS = 16;//Don’t allow players to change teams in Skirmish mode

When you set the hostname it would proable be helpful to put “CRCTF 4.1” somewhere in the name.

Commands - Players

Red(implse 233) ==> Sets player color to 4.

Blue(impulse 234) ==> Sets player color to 13.

Ready(impulse 40) ==> this signals the server that you are ready to play and you'd like to be placed on a team. It will then place you on a team if you pant color matches one of the team pant colors, or it will create a new team if it doesn't. You cannot join a team when you pants color is white. If you receive the error "Invalid Color" you either have white pants or there are already 2 teams and your color doesn't match either of them. Use "playerlist" to see the existing team colors. The ready command will also give you your 3 digit ghost id code, you will need this code if you get disconnected and you try to re-enter the game. Note: When all players on a server have joined teams and the game is not being run by an observer, the game will automatically start at 1 minute countdown, once this is up, the match will begin.

NotReady(impulse 41) ==> this says that you're not happy with your current team. It will remove you from your team and eliminate your team if you were the last person remaining. It will also stop the countdown if the game is being run without an observer. If a match is in progress and you are on a team your frags will be set to zero and you will be made an observer.

Observer(impulse 42) ==> this removes you from your team and makes you an observer. You can view the match without interferring as an observer. You may also pass through doors and teleporters in observer mode. Note: If you join a match in progress or if the match starts and you do not have a team, you will automatically be made an observer. You can type "Ready" to join a team if you are an observer, even if match is in progress.

Warp(impulse 48) ==> allows changing of levels. If you are not an admin, you need the approval of half of the people on the server, or a minimum of 3 people to change levels. After you type in "warp" and hit enter, you will be given a episode listing type in the episode number and hit enter and then hit the level number. It will then request that the remaining people on the server confirm that this is where you want to go. Once a sufficient number of people have typed "yes" at the console, the level will change. Note: Episode 5 are the deathmatch levels, Episode 6 is the ctfstart level, Episode 7 are the CTF 3.x levels, Episode 8 are the CTF 4.x levels, and Episode 9 are your custom levels.
