I made a mod where all guns have one shot kill or their primary fire. I thought it might be interesting because now if/when we have a merc war everyone will have to use new tactics because getting shot once means you die lol. I also thought it might be a tad more realistic because you can't really take 20 bullets to the face in real life. :) I think though that everyone in a merc war would have to have this mod though because whoever didnt would get really mad pretty fast. Anyway let me know what you guys think.

Whist that Mod may work for you on SP or MP when you host, it won't make a difference on any server it isn't on. If you provide a link to it, I can tell you what I think of it :P

Well......i didnt think it would be extremely hard to imagine or anything but ok i'll post a link as soon as i can

Lets just say then its a question of your terminology or credibility.

A Mod is infact a server install that works on the clients whether they have it or not. An example of such mods are JAPlus, ClanMod, LugorMod and so on.

A pk3 is not a "mod", its a package that changes how the game play looks but not how it behaves. Server side it can be such things as maps and sabers. Client side it can be such things as skins, stances, HUDs etc.

And then you have patches/hacks. These things change how the client can work and can be released by the developer. They can also be kill-trackers, CD-Key bypasses and the rare occurrence of fixing a bug in the original game. Technically my Admin Commander (a KR only application) falls into this category.

So, I cannot guess what yours is - by your description it would have to be a patch/hack but as you say "you made it" that would mean you would have to be a highly skilled programmer - thus my being unable to "tell you what I think" without seeing it.

yes i made it, not really highly skilled though mate. lol. Yes im pretty sure it is a patch/hack. Whats the deal with terminology or credibility? I didnt really understand that sentence :? Sorry i havent posted it yet ive been pretty busy because some of my relatives are staying at my house.

actually.....i think uits a mod not a patch/hack

 #72334  by MasterM
 
ok yes you can ask how i made it :). it wasnt that hard really. i downloaded the programming from a mod builder site, then just use visual studio to edit whatever you like! If you are going to try this for yourself, make sure you know what you are doing/telling the game to do. If you dont, youll get something weird.

Ok, I was just wondering. By the way, I'm the kind of guy who writes the applications you download from a mod building site as opposed to using them.

What you have won't work on any server except for one you host yourself. Also, this won't/can't work on the KR's server (if I uploaded it) even if we wanted to because it is Linux and the mod you've made is Windows only.

The jagamex86.dll is ignored when you play on a server (you'll note that jamp.exe won't even load that dll, which goes in 0x30000 memory address, code & data). And of course, for a linux server you'd need the compiled "jampgamei386.so" linux library which again is a JAPlus library for us so you'd have to modify it as opposed to compiling a modified base library.
(Also you'd need my already modified "jampgamei386.so", ever wondered why /refusetele doesn't work? ;))

Lol well ok then ill just go pwn ppl by myself. no i never wondered why refusetele doesnt work i never used it.

Still not understanding "It's a question of your terminology or credibility". Are you saying that i didn't make the mod or what?

Considering the language used in your original post...

obviously in no way indicates you downloaded the SDK, fiddled with the provided source, and recompiled to make modded dll's. That you didn't even know it was a mod (i.e. terminology), and that it wouldn't work on unmodded servers (i.e. credibility .. you "wrote" a program that you didn't even know how it would work). What do you want to hear?
