I have a copy of the mod that Excaliber holland uses on their server that emulates BIGI mod and UTJMH. It was suggested that I try it so I contacted Chico and he gave me a copy of it. I'll try it out and might replace BIGI mod with it soon. I'll keep you all informed. I don't expect to try it out until this weekend at the soonest. One thing I like is it prevents monsters from getting behind and blocking doors from being opened like in MH-Bluff. If it cusses, I will have to go with a revamp of BIGI. CYA!

Well, I have installed and tested the new mod on my test server. It took me a long time to figure out how it works since it really isn't a mod and it doesn't come in a umod package. It doesn't use server packages. It overwrites certain files I wish it didn't touch and there is no readme file with it. I finished testing it last week and I have to give it a thumbs up. It doesn't have boost protection and is missing several other cool things that BIGI's mod does have but it does have a few things that are needed that BIGI mod does not have.

I will be trying to switch over to it this weekend sometime. The settings I'm using make it much harder to easily go into maps and just walk through while never stopping shooting. This mod makes it easy to run out of ammo. I slowed all the regen stuff for ammo and health too. In other words, MHM will become one of the harder MH servers to play on. If you play wrecklessly, you will die. It will make you reconsider running straight in to a room full of bad guys. You'll often find yourself behind a rock regenerating either ammo or health or BOTH! CYA. I'll post when I finally change over to it.

I haven't made the change yet. Every time I check the server to see if it is empty so I can make the change, it is usualy full with about 8 players. I'll never boot out 8 players just to make a change. Right now, I think it will get changed late Saturday afternoon or night. CYA! Yes, I have already reduced the health on the BIGI mod as was mentioned above. I have the new mod set to the same thing I think.

Can you limit health and regeneration depending on the map?
It would be great to see non health regeneration on some of the easier maps.
So lets say you start with a health of 500 and if you die your game is over.

No reentry no second chance...your next game is next map.
Just an idea for the smaller/shorter time wise maps.

I know I know...people would get frustrated and leave if they had to wait for the next game.
Darn babies.

So last night I finally found MHM and CG with zero players on them for the first time since I decided to try the new mod to replace BIGI's mod. I tried to install it and messed up the server so badly I just left if off. I'll work on it each night until I get it back up. So be aware that I'm working on it and will be logged in as AdminTestPlayer during this time. The server will be on and off. I'm already tired from work and may not even try tonight. We'll see. CYA!

I can get the mod to work when I start the server from inside the game using the dedicated button. It doesn't work when I launch the same server from my batch file. I'm stumped and tired. I'm going to bed. Hopefully, I'll be able to get after it a lot more this weekend. Sorry it is still down. Gnite!
