Can anyone help me to get rid of freelook everytime someone is killed it shows were the shot came from I have tried to disable freelook in the config but it has not made any difference and it is annoying the players on the server as i would like to add some dm sniper maps but it is no good if it shows were sot came from please help it's doing my head in tried searching to no avail and even tried rcon to do it but that does not work either. I am useing the awe mod

You said you disabled in the server config.Here is a list of the commands which I am sure you know,but just in case....

Here

Have you also adjusted things in the awe folders for configs?Look for the one called team.cfg and make sure you have it disabled in there as well.It overides the normal server cfg if I am not mistaken.The line with specatenemy is the one you need disabled I think,as well as freelook.Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply I have disabled it in the team.cfg to no avail but never removed the spectatenemy which i know is still set to "1" so maybe that is were I am going wrong. I will try that and let you know thanks

Nope that did not change anything still doing it.

Free look is a spectator thing, looking in the direction you were shot from isn't to do with spectating and you can't change it without a small mod.

I'm not sure if the this will work, but try adding this to the top of the Callback_PlayerKilled function in the gametypes scripts

vDir = (0,0,1);

That should make you look straight up or down when you die.

If that doesn't work you could make the screen go black when you die.

Hi sorry to be a pain but this is the first server I have done so I dont know were you are telling me to add that line

set scr_killcam "0"
set scr_freelook "0"
set scr_spectateenemy "0"

those are the 3 things that need to be set to 0, hope this isnt just repeating what you have done. This come from my clans UO server up atm, although it isnt running AWE.

yer done that to no avail but thanks for the reply

okay i try to explain what killer said:

open your _whatever.pk3 file
in there must somwhere be a folder named maps (if not, open the next .pk3)
copy&paste this .pk3 (dont change the original one!!!!) and rename it to zzz_whatever_svr.pk3
then delete everything in this pk3 file but not the maps folder

in the maps folder somwhere there must be a mp and a gametypes folder i guess

delete everything except of this folders

in the gametypes folder there you can see your gametypes

open it and search for the things what killser said

this is your first mod

That wont stop a player looking at where he died. It will only stop an enemy from also viewing it. The OP wants it so that they don't view the place they died, which isn't possible without either modifying the gametype files, or creating an add-on to AWE called "blackscreen", which essentially creates a black HUD element everytime someone dies and stops them seeing where they died. It's what PAM mod did, for competition purposes.
