What is OpenWarfare:ProCompetitivePlay?

53 — 2010-07-08T14:32:17+01:00

OpenWarfare:ProCompetitivePlay or OpenWarfare:PCP is a tailored version of OpenWarfare directed at competitive play without making drastic changes to the stockgame .

OpenWarfare:PCP removes a lot of the features from OpenWarfare but it also adds some new features needed in competitive play. By having only the features necessary for competitive play we ensure a small footprint with the size of the mod being around 1MB making it a fast download while at the same time, making sure that all the custom maps will work fine with the mod as we don't introduce new models, sounds, and special effects.

The main idea then behind creating OpenWarfare:PCP is to provide a simple although robust mod to the community for competitive play and because the list of features is somehow small when compared to OpenWarfare it should be easier to port into new versions of the game.

PowerRanking is not working. What should I do?

53 — 2009-10-10T13:01:48+01:00

I'm trying to enable Power Ranking but for some reason it's not working. What should I do?

If power ranking is not working check the following points:

1. Make sure sv_pure is set to "1" in server.cfg.
2. Make sure scr_forceunrankedmatch is set to "0" in configs\server\rank.cfg.
3. If you load a ruleset through cod_mode make sure that the ruleset is also using the values stated above.
4. Finally, make sure the power ranking is enabled by setting the correct value for scr_power_rank_mode in configs\server\rank.cfg

Error maps\mp\gametypes\_teams::playerModelForClass()

53 — 2009-10-02T16:51:04+01:00

When I try to start the server I get an error about unknown function maps\mp\gametypes\_teams::playerModelForClass( class ).

This error happens when you have map .IWD files in the mod directory. Map files should not be in the mod directory anymore but in the correct usermaps/mp_mapname folder. To prevent this error from happening just move all the map files out of the mod directory. In the mod directory you should only have OpenWarfare distributed files and nothing else.

Can I have different settings for different maps/gametypes?

53 — 2009-10-02T16:49:48+01:00

Can I have different settings for different maps orgametypes?

[color=#FFFF80] Yes, most of the variables in OpenWarfare support an extended mode where the map, gametype or server load (or all) can be specified in the variable name. These type of variables will have precedence over the variables without map, gametype or server load. So, for example, let's say we want to disable the helicopter for Shipment (any gametype) and for any map in Free For All. To do this we will first set the normal variablescr_hardpoint_allow_helicopter to "1" to enable it for everything, we'll setscr_hardpoint_allow_helicopter_mp_shipment to "0" to disable the helicopter for that map, and we'll setscr_hardpoint_allow_helicopter_dm to "0" to disable it in any map when Free For All is being played,...

Can I use the OpenWarfare source code on my own mod?

53 — 2009-10-02T16:46:16+01:00

Can I use the source code of the OpenWarfare mod to create my own mod?

Sure you can but the OpenWarfare mod is protected under the Modder Ethical Public License that basically states that if you take from the community you have to give back to the community by also allowing people access to your code.

If you would like to run an older version of OpenWarfare you need to download the source code of that older version by indicating the SVN revision level of the version you want. A list of SVN revision levels for each official release can be found in this thread.

What is OpenWarfare?

OpenWarfare is a multi-purpose open source mod for the Call of Duty series. The project started on May 7th, 2008 and quickly grew to become one of the leading mods for the Call of Duty series. The mod supports new gameplay features to make the game more fun as well as league competition features like ready-up, strategy time, checksums, variable changes detection, rulesets, etc. Features in the OpenWarfare mod are not forced at all and can be enabled/disabled based on what the server owners like.

New visual mover (tutorial by CrossTrain)

53 — 2009-08-16T14:18:05+01:00

Welcome to this tutorial on the use of the new visual mover in OpenWarfare v1.6.2. I will try to be as thorough as possible in this tut so you can accomplish your means with no further assistance. However, if any further questions should arise, feel free to contact me and I will add clarity where necessary in this tutorial. Thanks for your grace!

One other note – I have not used this new visual mover on CoD4: ModernWarfare . I am almost positive that the instructions will be nearly identical between the two games though. I will also show just one gametype (SD) as the mover is virtually identical for each type. The only difference will be the “Categories” of items to be moved BUT the descriptions of these categories will be sufficient to explain what they are of themselves. So…

First things first: I do ALL of my testing of ALL things OW on a LAN server from my desktop. The reason I do everything (from testing new maps; to moving stuff using the...

Setting up a local redirect HTTP server for LAN

53 — 2009-06-28T02:35:54+01:00

I will show you how to setup a local HTTP redirect server in your PC to allow other players to download the mod files and/or custom maps directly from your PC at super high speeds. We will be setting up the HTTP server to provide files for both games, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: World At War.

I willassume:

You have installed the mod already on yourPC
The root directory for the games are the following:
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare -> C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\
Call of Duty: World At War -> C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World atWar\

1. The first thing we need to do is isntall the HTTP server we'll be using. For this I'm going to use HFS, HFS is very simple but powerful HTTP File Server and it's free to use. It can be downloaded directly from the developer's website at[url=http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/][/url=http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/]...
