Is it possible to have full control of weapon lock/unlock without the need for xp/points? Without this how is it possible to make a sniper server mod for example? This is such a basic thing that I cant imagine they would have left it out.

I believe there is a "takeAllWeapons" and a "giveWeapon" function which will allow you to make the player always spawn with a sniper. You could also edit the choose class menu so they can only select snipers.

Unless everything can be unlocked it still requires people to rank up to get all the sniper rifles and attachments. Same with the perks. Kinda funny that before it took extra work to get some kind of quasi-ranking in modded servers. Now I suppose its the other way around.

A mod could be done to have only the Sniper rifles in the selection. In other word: anything is possible in mods. Im sure you'll see some Sniper Only mod fairly soon.

Menu work I imagine... which so far look like a mess compared to cod4 menu code.

The thing I am getting at is, in the past having all weapons/eq/perks available was a default. Now people must still rank up. How do I fix that?

Anyways, it looks like the ui_items_no_cost dvar will unlock everything. But it will not save the choices unless already purchased. In which case the selection is empty. I suppose that is the steam cloud thing.

This is a little test i spent some time putting together at the weekend, in the event that Radiant does not get release then this *might* be a viable solution for small / medium size AIM maps or at least map not too complex.
