Somone has asked me if the players in a new map I'm working on could be Russian V British, or, Russian V American. Is this possible? at the moment I'm just using a basic gsc file.

main() 
{
	maps\mp\mp_western_fx::main();
	maps\mp\_load::main();
       	
//set background ambient noise
//ambientPlay("ambient_mp_western");

	game["allies"] = "russian";
	game["axis"] = "british";
	game["attackers"] = "allies";
	game["defenders"] = "axis";
	game["russian_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
	game["british_soldiertype"] = "normandy";


	setcvar("r_glowbloomintensity0","1");
	setcvar("r_glowbloomintensity1","1");
	setcvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".25");

}

By the way, the map is based on an a wild west town, pitty I couldn't have it so it was Cowboys verses Indians, skins that is

I don't think it's possible to have British vs Russian.

Tally's Allied vs. Allied Mod
http://www.iwnation.com/Forums/index.php?showtopic=24968

Thanks for the replies, how would Tally's mod help me? by looking at the scripts?

the server will have to run the mod. That will allow you to play russian vs. brits. As far as I know there is no other way.

Thanks Caretaker, I'm running a customized version of the Extreme Mod at the moment, don't want to change it.

In iw_06\ui_mp\scriptmenus there are files named "team_britishgerman.menu", "team_russiangerman.menu", etc. Just open a copy of one of them up and replace all the german stuff with russian or british and you'll have an extremely simple mod that you should be able to include with your map without causing any problems.

Of course there are some files in maps\mp\gametypes folders that would need modified in order for everything to work perfectly, since either the russians or british would need to be added to the "game["axis"]" switches. But they should basically work without that.

There was an "Outlaws" mod for Halflife that had old west
characters. Dunno if you could run them down or not. Heck,
the mod might still be available. Might be worth 30
minutes or so of research.

why dont you just put allies vs allies
there should'nt be conflict as they are both allies in the game scripts and differnt weapon's ?
give it shot sometime

I haven't looked at Tally's mod, but when I did the same thing for a different mod the _friendicons.gsc, _hud_playerscore.gsc, _hud_teamscore.gsc, _quickmessages.gsc, _scoreboard.gsc, _teams.gsc, _weapons.gsc, hq.gsc, and sd.gsc files were all changed and any one could create a problem.

Upon taking a look at Tally's mod, it does the same thing. Plus there's more to it. You can give it a shot, but chances of a conflict increase the larger the mod is.
