TITLE: HLC RCON MOD (HolyLandClan)
VERSION: 4.1
SCRIPTING: [HOLY] Moses {GEN}
COMPATIBILITY: Version 1.2 (patched) of Call of Duty (Retail) with no additional mods that alter menu system.
WORK WITH SV_PURE SERVER: See comments under TO INSTALL section.
TESTED ON WINDOWS DEDICATED SERVER: YES.
TESTED ON LINUX DEDICATED SERVER: YES.

****MODIFICATIONS TO THIS UTILITY SHOULD BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE USER_LICENSE.TXT FILE INCLUDED WITH THIS MOD!***
***Your use of this mod implies consent to the comments in the USER_LICENSE.TXT file******

*****************************************************************************************************************************************
THIS IS A CLIENT-AND-SERVER-SIDE MOD! You do need to install the HLC RCON mod on your server AND on any client that has rcon access and
wants to use the menu system. If this pak3 file is not stored in the server's \MAIN folder, users will not have access to it.


*****************************************************************************************************************************************

*****************************************************************************************************************************************
TO INSTALL:

*****If you are using a previous version of this mod, delete the pak3 file associated with it AND the HLCRCON.CFG file.****

1. Zipped archive contains 1 (one) .pk3 file titled "zzz_HLCRcon_v4.pk3", 1 (one) textfile titled "USER_LICENSE.TXT",
and this readme.txt file.

2. Save the pak file to the Call of Duty \main directory on the Game Server AND on the client. The client MUST ALSO HAVE the
the mod in their \MAIN folder in order to have access to it!
*If you do not have access to the files on your game server, then you need to contact your admin to upload the file.

3. RESTART THE GAME SERVER.

3. On the client ONLY, open the CONFIG_MP.CFG file located in the CoD \main directory with a text editor and copy/paste the following line
at the very end of the file:

seta rconpassword ""

4. Re-save the file. You DO NOT NEED TO TYPE ANYTHING IN THE QUOTES. Do NOT MODIFY your desktop
shortcut for CoD. MAKE SURE YOU COPY AND PASTE the text exactly as it is written above!

5. YOU MUST DO THIS TO AVOID RECEIVING ERROR MESSAGES OF "BAD RCONPASSWORD"!

***ON FIRST STARTUP: Open the HLC RCON Menu from the CoD Main Menu. Click on SET RCONPASSWORD and type your password in the box
provided and click OK. Connect to your server and re-open the HLC RCON menu. Open the SERVER SETTINGS submenu and click on the
SERVER STATUS button.

*****************************************************************************************************************************************
USAGE:

The User must have admin control over the server (i.e. know the rcon password). I have assumed that users have at least fundemental
knowledge of how RCON commands work.

The HLC RCON Menu is accessible from the Call of Duty Main screen, or by hitting the ESC key while playing the game (either dead or
alive). Click on the HLC RCON v4.0 tab at the top where the VIEW MAP tab used to be.

If you are currently connected to a server, a "BACK TO GAME" option will appear at the bottom of each menu. By clicking on that, all
menus will close and your game screen will return.

*NOTE* When issuing commands through the interface (i.e., clicking on buttons) be sure to close the console window before doing so.
The interface will not accept commands if the console window is open.

If the server does not return a status and gives you a "bad rconpassword" warning, review your installation.
Most likely, you did not edit the CONFIG_MP.CFG file correctly, did not enter your rconpassword, or you entered the wrong
rconpassword.

If the server does return the server status, then your installation was successful and all other commands will work.

*****************************************************************************************************************************************
KNOWN ISSUES:

1) The game will not accept commands from the HLC RCON menu system if the console window is OPEN. Don't ask me why, just believe me.
You must close the console window to interact with the HLC RCON menu system.

2) If you use one of the WEAPON SHORTCUTS (NO SNIPERS, RIFLES ONLY, RESET ALL), The weapon shortcut buttons send several
consecutive commands to the server with one click. This may take a few moments. Do not try to access other menu
features or send rcon commands until the confirmation message is broadcasted.

3) When changing a setting, ALWAYS wait for the confirmation message before sending another command!

4) If you have general questions about RCON commands and how to use them, please post your questions in a web-forum like
www.CodAdmin.com
If a console command does not work via the HLC RCON menu but does work using a typed console entry, then email
moses@holylandclan.com

HELP/THANKS:

INFINITY WARD for making a kick-ass game! All of the scripting in this mod is based on their work.
INFINITY WARD for doing a KICK-ASS job with the patch! ROCK ON!
RUDEDOG at WWW.CODADMIN.COM for his outstanding support of my work! Thanks!
ALOU at WWW.CODCOMMAND.COM for his support, and for lending me admin privileges on his server to Test versions 4.0 and 4.1. Thanks to Alou,
version 4.1 was released on-schedule!
TABOOMAN for adding the fundamental scripting for a DEMO RECORDING submenu. Unfortunately, the game engine places a limit on how many
in-game menus can be cached, so this menu was not included in this release.
COTTO1984 for pointing out the BAR control bug to me.
VALOCHE for pointing out the HLC menu is less interfering if set at #4 on the QUICKMESSAGE window so as not to screw up
users' quick binds or memories!
The Admins and moderators at CODADMIN.COM (AADiC, RudeDog), ALOU at (CODCOMMAND.COM; now also a HOLY!), and RUGGBUTT at CALLOFDUTY.ORG
for supporting the release and distribution of the mod.
