have a sniper server but dont like moderating it 24/7 for cheaters? then this post is for you!
this will be a server side mod done through a custom scripts.dll, it requires NO downloads by the client.
current features planned:
- invincible buildings
- war factory/airstrip destroyed at the start of every game to prevent vehs
- NO characters will come with timed c4 or pistol, including the soldier you spawn as!
- all non sniper units will have a sniper rifle instead of their usual weapon, except for mobius which will have a railgun and mendoza which will have a PIC, havoc and sakura still have ramjets
- all base defense will ignore players
- sbh will either not be cloaked or will not be buyable
- will work for all WS and fan maps
if you have any ideas for this feel free to post them.
all of this was coded by vloktboky with testing help from myself and many other mods from Black-Cell.net.
should be done just in time for christmas.

few changes:
- all non sniper chars(except PIC/rave) will be killed when bought.
- there will be an option in a ini file to also kill PIC/rave or havoc/sakura.
- base defense can be toggled on or off with an ini setting.
were not sure what to do with beacons yet, if possible the person will be killed when they buy/deploy one, if we cant do that they'll just be left alone, since they cant kill buildings anymore they're useless.

hi
Sorry to piss on your parade but im pretty sure this has been done already, The CEO sniper server on GSA has been using a similar map pack mod for a little over a year and a half now.
The base defenses are disabled and the only units you can buy are 500 cred snipers, 1000 cred snipers and pics/raves etc.
www.ceoclan.net goto the downloads section

your not pissing on any parade....this is a scripts mod for all maps also fanmaps.
what the ceo server has is custom maps with options turned off...such as only 500 credit snipers and 1000 credit snipers only available and WF/AIR disabled....theres still minigunners when you spawn on those maps.
This is a scripts.dll that only the server uses...so say you have C&C_Alpine when you join the server youll spawn as a minigunner with a sniper rifle and whatever changes he mentioned will be in tact.
Thus no need for new modded versions of maps and such.
Sounds good guys...Keep up the good work!

RenGuard doesn't need to test the files on the server-side, and this scripts.dll only exists on the server-side... therefore it will work.
These maps differ from the maps the NeoSaber did because your players don't have to download anything to play.
If beacons can still be deployed then please don't allow them to be. It just leaves something open for grief players to do. Especially for those of us with Blazer's beacon countdown mod.
I'm the bawss.

In all the serious games I've played, sniper outfitting would have something like a secondary submachine gun/pistol and a few grenades as well as binoculars/night vision/thermal goggles. Please don't disable pistols. A sniper should have a secondary weapon and it only renders a player useless when his ammo is gone and he finds him/herself under attack.

version 1.0 is released:
http://web.black-cell.net/server_sniper_mod.zip
beacons are still buyable for now(though they cant kill buildings anymore), in future releases this will hopefully be fixed.
readme and an example ini file are included in the zip, along with the source code.
enjoy your christmas present all you sniper servers!

maybe you guys should make it so the people have more ammo with there sniper rifles so they dont have to worry about getting back to base to refill..
