Perhaps you could embed a pk3 cleaner in the mod for players. Put a button in the HUD called "FILE CLEANER" (something simple like that) where it would wipe all the custom pk3s from the silent folder and in etmain. People would love that and it would be unique. Then allow server owners to define an exception list for their pk3s. Or, instead of a pk3 cleaner, maybe you could just have a function that allows admins to make a list of deprecated pk3s to be removed. So a server admin could just remove his own pk3s that are no longer being used. Clean up last month's menus so players don't get confused. This would allow us to clean up our own old files without messing with anything custom the player himself may want in his folders (like maps).

Thanks Dragon! I was wondering why I couldn't get it to work. I knew it had to be something I wasn't thinking about.

It is set up like any normal server. Always worked fine in jaymod. I don't know why it does not work for me. Not going to speculate. Just letting you know. Thanks for your time.

I was wondering if there was a way to activate the campaign file cvar so it resembles the behavior of jaymod regarding pk3s. Specifically: set g_campaignFile "whatever.campaign" I think a lot of people would like this feature.

I like the star or the no ping. The NPC makes me wonder what it stands for, so players might get confused too. No ping is best, star is fine too. Thanks.

I haven't changed anything today. It has kept my XP all day like it is supposed to do. It has been running all day with no interruptions or file changes. So my installation is stable as long as I don't change anything. I have been using g_gametype 6 for mapvoting.

I played for a bit today, got some fresh XP, and left the server. Then I came back on a minute later and my new XP was still there. So if I keep it running and don't change anything, it keeps the XP. This is what it makes it confusing. If I knew it was just enhmod, I would remove it, or a cvar, I could fix it. But it seems to happen if I change any files on the server, or even just restarting it.

I just logged on my server five minutes ago and did not have my XP. But I have my admin level. So any help would be appreciated. This is from the server log. Looks like it is storing 272 users.

I added some commands to the shrubbot.cfg file in the database folder. The commands work fine, but doing this wiped out the player XP and admin levels. This is a problem. I realize that silent mod uses encryption to store player identities, and if you modify anything in the database folder it seems to ruin the encrypted data. In Jaymod I can modify files without worrying about losing XP. I am used to Jaymod, not etpub, so that is my perspective. Is there a way around this without using rcon for everything? I don't even want to have rcon enabled if I can avoid it. I would like to be able to add commands and directly modify admin levels from within the server file instead of doing it all through rcon.

That's good to see. Thanks for your work.

I want to use map voting, but wanted to check that it is safe from any of the old rcon exploits associated with mapvoting. I would like to assume it is, and just use it, but I wanted to ask first. Thanks

Another great feature would be the minimize command. I'm sure you've seen ET minimizer. It's also built into the latest versions of Redsector's Jaymod enhmod. So you can just use /minimize and minimize the game, without needing ET minimizer. I have it bound to a key in my autoexec.cfg and it's nice to not have a separate program to activate when I start ET. Just a thought.

The newest omnibots are far more human acting, and don't look like players with aimbots anymore, unless the server admin decides to crank them up in difficulty, which is a foolish thing to do. I think the bright yellow word "BOT" has an ominous look. If it was a different color (plain white), or a smaller font, or not capitalized, it would look better. Bots have an extremely negative connotation, and your BOT reinforces that connotation. It looks like you are trying to warn players there are omnibots here. That is a great way to keep a new server empty. So a server admin either runs no omnibots, and never gets any players at all, or has BOT in giant letters, which looks bad too. Your mod will be less popular if you make it hard to populate new servers. I like your mod and I would prefer to use it instead of buggy laggy jaymod.

The difference is that when a new player joins a server, he wants to think he is on a server full of people. If he hits TAB and sees all "BOT" then he thinks he is being warned. It looks like a problem, or an error message. with "BOT" in bright yellow. Especially if they only play Jaymod where it just says "0". Some mods even go so far as to add fake ping to the omnibots. ECMOD sets them all to 48-52. but the omnibot developers have asked that people not do this.

Yes I understand. Is it possible to have a thin metal wire then instead of a bright laser beam? I don't think they had lasers in World War II. Or maybe as you gain engineer skill they can be less-detectable?

I noticed that playing as an engineer I keep setting off my own team mines. No other class seems to do this. Any way to turn this off so it is the same for all classes?

Any plans for widescreen support in the future? Newest version of Jaymod has it and it looks nice lol.

I noticed playing Silent that when you hit TAB the word "BOT" appears in bright yellow letters instead of the normal "0" that other mods display. Is there any way to reset this to normal?

I have noticed playing Silent Mod that I can see enemy tripmines. So they can see mine and avoid them too. Is this a bug, or intentional? Is there a cvar that turns this off? There is no reason to even plant tripmines if the other team can see them. Thanks!
