AWE for Cassino server? Options

[pezking]

What are the possibilities of adding AWE to the Cassino server for awhile to see how it goes? The mod offers so many options which can be turned on or off. The newest release is for CoD and UO, they also have a new CoD2 AWE mod which is sweet. Anyway, guess there needs to be some feedback. Here's some of the features in AWE. I will bold the ones that I'm interested in.

Again, nothing wrong with the stock settings that are in Cassino now... just trying to shake things up a little bit, possibly get more people on the server as well.


Features
--------
- Effects from Ravir's Demolition (Mortars and hitblip)
- C47 planes flying by on all stock maps and should work on most custom maps too.
- Teamkill and/or teamdamage detection with different punishments.
- Camping detection and marking of campers.

In teamplay the camper will be marked with a headicon that flashes between team headicon
and a star, and marked on the compass with an objective icon that flashes between a team
radio icon and the default objective icon.

In deathmatch the camper will be marked with the default objective icon on the compass
and the headicon will flash been a star and a crosshair.

- Parts of Ravirs admin tools available for all gametypes (everything but kicktospec should work) = ???
- Bleeding = that makes snipers 1 shot kills, up to you

- HQ works on any map (AWE spawns radios using random TDM spawn points) = unfamiliar with HQ

Well this is what my thoughts on it was. Also, it has a mod which shows you hit somebody, get that its awesome. This is alot of stuff so hopefully i didnt make a spelling error, screw grammar!

- Force/disable weapons (for example: disable grenades, assign fg42 as secondary weapon etc.) - I like my nades!

Basically you can make it so both teams can have flamethrower as a second weapon... well, or anything. Cool feature cause you can make both sides only use a KAR, very fun.

- Tracers = ???

Adds tracer rounds from machine guns... good if you want to know where they're coming from sometimes. Looks sweet too.

- Change allies team, or make it random = Let people join whatever team they want

This is so you can change the representing team in the game... so Cassino could be Russian vs US or German vs German, etc.

- Stukas = sticky nades?

Just German planes that fly over... no big deal, bells and whistles.

- Disable minefields = no mine field

Great for maps like Brecourt.

- AWE Capture the Flag gametype = no, ctf is kinda lame imo

but they have Capture the Beer!

- Burning bodies after flamethrower death = will we get flamethrowers?

The mod adds them as an optional weapon or the admin can make it a secondary weapon... per admin disgretion.

- First aid kits = nobody heals their allies, its annoying

This is a great feature if the bleeding is turned on... you basically hide and hold down a hot key and start healing yourself.


- Remote detonable satchels = they never work

They work... you just press a hotkey after you've wired it in it's location.

- Sticky grenades and satchels = thats cool

Again... like the above.

- Modify UO sprinting = more energy?!?!

Sprinting can be modified by the server admin... slower, faster, more stamina, less, etc.

- Rain/Snow = i like this

It can get annoying, especially rain... like it isn't hard enough to see the Axis team grey on grey... then add some grey rain which also adds more sound to the game.
