After a few questions regarding maplist and some other settings I'll think it is a good idea to

put some informations together for faster finding.

 

Documentation

 

There is some documentation (Knowledge-Base)

but at the moment expect it to be a quick overview. The zip also contains some files showing playlists, maps, modes and their documentation.

 

 

Rcon usable commands

 

List of available commands (R-5):

 

 

Code:

admin.eventsEnabled
admin.help

vars.teamKillValueDecreasePerSecond
vars.teamKillValueForKick
vars.teamKillValueIncrease
version

 

 

 

This list is taken from the output of admin.help.

 

There are still some commands left over from BF3 but they have no effect in MoHW and their function is replaced by other commands. An example for it is vars.crossHair vars.hudCrosshair.

 

Even if the server seems to respond to a command written totally in lower cases it is best to use the spelling like it is given in the above list.

 

 

Maps, modes & playlist

 

MoHW does not only allow you to run maps in different (game)modes. It also provides some playlists. Other than BFBC2 a MoHW playlist is no type of gameplay but a playlist is a predefined fixed set of maps. Think of it as selectable Maplist.txt stored at the server with no way to change their content for you.

 

The most interesting playlist for you may be CustomPL. This playlist allows the server to use the Maplist.txt you can manipulate either by your GSPs control panel or by using Procon.

 

Note:

There is something special in how the server handles the maplist while running CustomPL playlist.

If you change your maplist using your GSPs control panel you have to write the map names like

Code:

MOHW/Levels/MP/MP_03/MP_03

but in the maplist the server shows over the rcon the map is only shown as

Code:

MP_03

Playlists

The names of the playlists may give you a hint which maps are played in which mode(s) in this fixed

maplists. Maybe I'll post the dedicated lists later.

 

Maps & modes

While combining maps and modes remember to check the combinations you use.

Editing the maplist.txt by using your GSPs control panel will not check if a combination is allowed.

In case you have typed a name wrong or used combination not supported the server will stop parsing

your maplist.txt at that line.

 

Style of gameplay

 

Unlike all other Frostbite games MoHW also specifies three types of gameplay. These are

• Normal
• Immersive
• Custom

What directly pops up is the difference to BF3 for example. The special gameplay style is not called hardcore

but immersive. This immersive gameplay is different from hardcore you know. Basically you have to think

about it as a style not providing as many informations in the gameplay as with normal.

 

Based on the public available documentation for "Immersive" a set of server settings have to be changed.

But other than hardcore these changes do not include the health level, the damage a bullet makes or

where you are allowed to spawn.

 

The following image is taken from the above linked MoHW documentation for R-1.

This list was also taken to provide you the gameplay preset selector in Procon.

You find it under the server settings tab at gameplay. Most of these vars effect is immediately.

See it as deprecated.

As far as I know it has no effect in MoHW and I expect it to be removed in the next release of MoHW server.

Please decide which thread you will follow. It makes no sense to add this kind of comment to different threads.

 

Well, as I said in other posts I've done. vars.allUnlocksUnlocked is known by DC to be able to crash

a server under several circumstances. As far as I've been told querying is no problem as the server

only responses with its message but does not effect server internal settings. But I would advice not

to use it in your Startup.txt or to try to change the value the server comes up with.

 

That might be the reason a next server version will not support that command anymore.
