This Release
============

The mod has now reached its 7th release, and I am very pleased to see it getting such a great reception.

This release sees the addition of a couple of great new features:

1. Dynamic attachments for classic and rifle only game modes. With this new feature you can use the quick message menu to dynamically attach either a bayonet, a rifle grenade, a silencer, a aperture sight, or a bipod onto a base weapon which supports such an attachment. You can even do it to weapons you pick up.

Here are 2 sets of screenshots, showing first the dynamic attachment of a bayonet, and the second the attachment of a rifle grenade:

Dynamic Bayonet Attachment:

The start weapon (kar98k):



The quickmessage menu - note item 4:



Pressing 4 brings up the dynamic attachment menu:



Pressing 1 on the keyboard attaches the bayonet:





Dynamic Rifle Grenade Attachment:

The start weapon (springfield):



The quickmessages menu - note item 4:



Pressing 4 brings up the dynamic attachment menu:



Pressing 2 attaches the rifle grenade holder - note the ALT weapon icon (highlighted):



Pressing 5 loads the rifle grenade:



2. New game mode – Force Weapons. Basically, you can force players to take a pre-defined class loadout. This can be done for all players, or give different teams different loadouts.

3. 2 new gametypes – Retrieval, and Team Assault:

Retrieval is a re-make of the vCOD classic – the attackers have to take back the Spy List and radio from enemy hands; defenders have to prevent the attackers achieving their objective. Works on any map which supports SAB and CTF gametypes (SAB is used for the objective spawns, and CTF for the actual player spawns;

Team Assault is like a cross between Domination and War. Attackers have to capture flags from the defenders in strict sequence, starting with flag 1, and then moving onto flag 2. Defenders have to stop the attackers from doing so. If the attackers capture all defenders flags, they win; if not, then the team with the most flags owned at round end wins the game. Works on any map which supports DOM gametype.

4. Binoculars – these have been ported over from COD2 by the Openwarfare team. They are permanently available from the DPAD menu, and are set to actionslot 2 (see your personal bind for that actionslot – default is key 7). They are great for big maps if you don’t use a scoped weapon. Makes it easier to spot those pesky campers!

Binoculars:





5. A new look to the hud. Demon mod replaces all the national images to better grudgy looking ones. NB: there are special german images supplied which removes the illegal swastika.

Please see both “New Features” further down this file, and change log at foot of this file for more details of additions/fixes.

Introduction
============

This is a mod I made based on AWE4 for COD4, and ported over to COD:WaW, with many extensive changes. It was created for my clan "Demon", who have been playing COD for many years. We wanted a mod that went back to the golden days of COD gameplay, but with the benefit of the new graphics. So, we made a mod with weapon loadouts according to team/nationality, and which had the option to remove perks and ranks is we so wished. This would make the emphasis of the game be about the player's skill with his weapon, rather than about little insignificant bonuses like rank or unlock.

However, being aware that not every COD game group shares our clan's dislike of perks and ranks, the Demon Mod has the option to have perks and ranking switched on.

Demon Mod now has 4 mod "modes":

1. Force Weapons Mode

This is a new feature with this release. With this mod mode, players cant choose their classes/weapons – the server admin decides that for them. Loadout can be done either on a per-team basis, or universally, so that both teams get the same loadout. Perks and inventory weapons such as satchel charges or bouncing betties can also be predetermined. So also for the perks.

2. "Classic" COD Mode

This is the mode with weapon loadouts by nationality. It has a fully configurable weapons limiter, so that certain weapons can be allowed, yet limited.

In this mode, you have the option to have no perks, or you can force perks on all players (see classic.cfg for dvars). Also, you can decide whether to have ranks or not (see demon.cfg for dvars).


3. "Rifle Only" Mode

This mode has only the bolt-action rifles, scoped and unscoped. It also has a fully configurable weapons limiter.

In this mode, you have the option to have no perks, or you can force perks on all players (see riflesonly.cfg for dvars). Also, you can decide whether to have ranks or not (see demon.cfg for dvars).


4. "Customslots" Mode

This is what was called "PowerRank" in AWE4, but I changed the name for this mod. It unlocks all weapons and attachments in under 20 seconds, to allow for building a player's customslots. But it also has the power for a server admin to disallow certain items (weapons, perks, attachments, etc), and for these items to remain "locked".

Each mode has its own .CFG file, so please see those seperate config files for the dvars which control each mode.

The modes and execution of each config file are handled at the ver top of demon.cfg, Only one mode dvar should be set to 1 at any time. Also, just below the mode dvar is where the config file for that mode is executed - just remove (if it isnt already) the double comment lines (double forward slash //) from in front
of the execution command.

Example --

Before:

set scr_demon_classicloadout 0
//exec classic.cfg

After:

set scr_demon_classicloadout 1
exec classic.cfg

=============================================================================

NB:
===
Most "stock" dvars can now be set differently for a specific map or gametype. This is because I made code changes to _tweakables.gsc, and made it compatable with what is commonly refered to in the modding world as the "dvardef" method of defining dvars. This has been a standard feature of AWE since its inception back in good ol' COD1 days, and all the big mods use it. I have included a copy of _tweakables.gsc in the .zip file, so you can check if a stock dvar is defined
in this way.

All demon dvars can be set differently for specific gametypes, maps or both together.

More Screenshots:
==========














Use
====

1. Upload the whole of mp_demon folder inside the .ZIP file to your server's mod directory.
2. Take the config files out of the 'configs' folder and put them next to the IWD and .FF files, or keep the configs inside the 'config'
folder and alter the execution commands at the foot of server.cfg file.
3. Upload the .FF and IWD file to your redirect space for client download, and edit the redirect dvars in server.cfg.
4. Edit all the config files how you want them.
5. Make sure that server.cfg is executed from your server start-up command line

Change Log 3.0
============
1. Updated all relevant files altered in the recent 1.5 patch
2. Added ambient tracers
3. Added weapon pools
4. Added a dvar to be able to turn off welcome screen

Change Log 2.5.1
================
1. Fixed a bug whereby some gametypes wouldnt load due to code for playable area not setup for those gametypes.
2. Fixed a bug in perks specialty_fraggrenade and speciality_specialgrenade in customslots mode where no grenades were given, or incorrect number.
3. Added quickmessage sounds from COD2. This has increased the size of the mod.ff file. No Japanese sounds. Sorry.
4. Added Browning 30cal to Marines menu in classic mode.
5. Added a dvar which allows COD5 sound occlusion to be turned off. This allows you to pinpoint the direction of enmy firing much better.
6. Added a dvar which allows spinning baseeffects to be turned off in CTF (will add other gametypes next release).
7. Added bayonets for all bolt action rifles in classic mode.

Change Log 2.5
==============
1. Fixed a bug in the spawnpro timer, which was out by several server frames.
2. Fixed a bug for server message not loading when graceperiod had been set.
3. Fixed a bug whereby the server logo text duplicated itself.
4. Fixed ambient plane sounds, as the reverb caused distortion on many players machines
5. Fixed the ambient plane fly-zone. As it was previously map-based, it often meant the planes couldnt be seen, as CODWaW maps often have large
expanses of unplayable areas. Take mp_shrine for example - the planes were out at sea as the centre of the map is out there. Now, the planes follow a
playable area fly-zone.
6. Added Airstrike Hardpoint
7. Added bullet impact screen
8. Added body fly on explosives impact
9. Added damage view shift, whereby the player view angles get distorted when shot. Its like getting slapped hard in the face!

Change Log 2.0
==============
1. Classic mode: The different grenades for each team has now been properly implimented into the mod, so now you get the proper grenade
icons on screen when choosing weapons.
2. Classic mode: shotguns can now be limited differently for each team (i.e. different shotguns for germans, marines, russian and japanese)
3. Ambient planes have been added.
4. Anticamper has been added.
5. Fixed a bug in the pitch-to-velocity of the ambient mortars. Now, they arch down from above instead of falling in a straight line.

Change Log 1.5
==============

1. Force perks were not working properly, now they are for all mod modes
2. Fixed a bug in weapon limiter
3. Added disarm explosives (please see demon.cfg for dvars)
4. Added Ambient Mortars (please see demon.cfg for dvars)
5. Added Black Screen on death (please see demon.cfg for dvars)
