Hi All,

Sorry for buggin' ya about the addition of a mod, but I've been working on this for a couple weeks on my own and can't seem to get it figured out. Go easy on me... I'm still learining server admin :) and this seemed like too large a quesiton for IRC. I have tried to be as explicit as possible and provide all the information I can to help.

What I'm trying to do is get Mefy's Freeze Tag mod installed and running on my server. There is already one MoHAA server currently running the mod (IP: 212.42.16.16:36070), and I really like the way it's set up. I specifically like that they have several maps in rotation (I think this is only available on FT 1.1 Alpha #3?).

I've tried to dig up as much documentation on this mod as possible, but haven't been too successful. I've read the official page (http://www.planetmedalofhonor.com/mefy/freezetag.html), installed the mod through CF and think I've added the right stuff to the cfg, but the mod's still not working. Based on what I read, here's what I added (commented out now for testing):

// Freeze Tag Settings
// set g_extgametype "tdm"
// set g_ft_meltgun "1"
// set g_ftobj_meltgun "1"
// set g_extgametype_mohdm6 "ft"
// set g_ft_observe "freefloat bodies"
// set g_ftobj_observe "freefloat bodies"

I thought maybe the version of FT in CF was 1.0, which appears to be only for Stalingrad, so I cleared the rest of the maps from the rotation and loaded only Stalingrad... still no go. Gametype is set to Team Match. I have also tried removing all other mods and restarting. Obviously something is not working, or more likely I've done something wrong.

The FT mod is installed on profile name: MoH:Allied Assault: R2R Freeze Tag

In case the version of FT in ClanForge is 1.0, I have uploaded v1.1 Alpha #3 to the public FTP server. File name: user-mefy-freeze-tag-1_1_ALPHA3.zip

I know you guys are super busy, and I hate to ask, but after playing the mod, the ability to run a Freeze Tag server was a large part of my decision to actually bit the bullet and purchase a server. Any help anyone can lend would be greatly appreciated.

Waiting in anticipation...

Aza

Ok, the forums didn't work...

Guess I'll try email. I just cringe at trying to explain all of this in a crowded chat room...

I set my server, to Round Based and Freeze tag works then.

Azazriel, I've only just noticed this post, sorry. If you want to pop into #mpukhosting I will try and work through this with you using this post as a reference. Also a note to all clanserver customers, don't strugle "working on it for a couple of weeks", come and ask us for help, it's what we're here for.

:) no worries m8!

I was working on it on my own for a couple weeks only because I was genuinely trying to learn server admin. :cool:

You guys are on the case now, and I'm sure I'll have a working freeze-tag server soon. :angel:

My pleasure. Was also fun owning both of you single handedly whilst *cough* testing the server. Great mod, will have to play that at FBL.
