How do i bind a key?
What commands can i use?
How do i get xp?
Can you change map please?
No, sorry i can't.
When the map is changed manually, the bots are removed from the server, as the bots are now set to specific
skills, with specific names ect, they can't be added through podbotmenu by admins. However...
Some admins have the ability to change the map time to 5 mins, if you ask them nicely, and remind them
to put it back to 20 mins for the next map...
Why did you kick me?
people (even regulars) may be kicked because of high ping, this is to enable everybody else to play without
your lagg interfering, i hope you understand.
Why did you ban me?
Either, you were kicked for high ping, and kept reconnecting, thus, still causing lagg. (temporary ban)
or, you were cheating, and have been banned automatically by hlguard. (permanent ban)
Why does the server lagg?
Contrarary to popular belief, the bots dont cause lagg!!
YOU do! Yes, this is true, let me explain...
Lagg is caused when there is too much information being downloaded from the server, this is usualy when
someone connects who has never before played on Cannon Fodder,
as there are a lot of files to download.
Apart from the usual map/sound/wad files, there are the Ultimate warcraft 3 models/sounds/sprites,
3 end round music sounds, and sounds to download from the various other plugins.
if you have a 16man server, with 8 bots, and 4 human players. and 2 people connect at the
same time. those 2 people may have to download the map/sounds/models ect.. taking up bandwidth. rendering the
4 visible players on the server immobile. Also, while their downloading, they don't show up in the players lst, so they can't
be kicked.
To combat this type of lagg, i've invented a password!!
Server password
Sorry, can't tell you. server is passed on by word of mouth to regular members, to people who play regularly.
At night, when the server is nearly full (and most likely to lag), i put a password on the server, to
stop people connecting in the background who don't have all the neccesary files to play. People with the password, will already
have the neccesary files, as they've connected before.
What is Ultimate Warcraft 3?
Ultimate warcraft 3 is an add-on for counter strike, that gives players experience points, for killing oppenents
and completing round objectives. these points can then by used to set different skills.
I saw a hacker on Cannon Fodder
Wait a minute, you do realise how many ways there are to gain health, armour and xp don't you?
say 'cheat' while on the server, this tells you about the 'health for headshots' plugin, also, there
are skills from Ultimate warcraft 3 that give you health/armour for attacks,
Cheating-Death is compulsory, and hlguard also runs in the background.
If you really think someone is cheating regularly, make a note of their steam id, and the time they were
cheating, type status into console and i'll check the logs.
Can you help me build a server like Cannon Fodder?
Yes, i can help you, this doesn't mean i'll build one for you!!
once you've taken the time to read up about it, and got a server up and running, i'll help you with any problems you might or definatly will have.
