Ok it's going to be painful to get sv_pure working but in the end it will be well worth it so I am going to be placing it on server 2 starting tomorrow morning. Most if not all of you will not be able to connect to the server since it will ONLY allow the pk3 files specified and that includes custom maps so here is a step by step that will allow you to get on server 2 from here on out.

If you have ever downloaded ANY custom files including any of our map packs the best thing to do is follow this outline EXACTLY. I have found out that there are other files besides pk3's that pure looks at so just deleting them is NOT going to work. Here is what you do and PLEASE read ALL instructions before proceeding.

1) Uninstall ALL MOHAA and Spearhead from your PC. Once uninstalled make sure you have COMPLETELY removed every file by going double clicking on the My Computer.... Local Disk...Program Files...EA Games. Once there you should NOT see a MOHAA folder at all and if you do delete it completely.

2) Reinstall MOHAA, then apply the 1.11 patch. You do not need to start the game just go through the install and apply the patch.

3)Reinstall Spearhead and apply the 2.11 patch first, then the 2.15 patch that just came out.

4) Download the 2 brand new FKs Spearhead Combo map packs that have all the maps from packs 1 through 10. DO NOT install any of the old map packs on your computer. I have redone ALL map packs tonight to make sure the exact versions of the maps are in them. To keep you all from having to download all 10 packs again I have made 2 combo packs for you. You do NOT need both just get the 2 combo packs.

5) Download map pack 11 and overright the pack 11 that is currently on your computer. Now you can install combo packs 1 and 2 as well as map pack 11.

6) You have only 3 ways to get on a server with sv_pure turned on. You can get in at this point from either gamespy or the All Seeing Eye without makeing any additional changes or if you want to get in to the server from in game you MUST add something to your startup icon. Here is how you do that;

First find the Spearhead icon on your computers desktop. Right click on it and chose the properties button. Under the shortcut tab you will see a setting called "target:" with the following typed in the box:

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\moh_spearhead.exe"

you need to add the following to the end of the line AFTER THE QUOTES without changing anything else:

+set cl_playintro 0

Now your line should look something like this:

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\moh_spearhead.exe" +set cl_playintro 0


You may be using another drive letter such as D: or E: don't worry. DO NOT change anything inside the quotes.

NOW you can start playing on the server again without issues. Just remember you can NOT install any other pk3 files like skins, crosshairs, or other mods since doing so will boot you off the server. Once we get this stabilized and working properly I WILL be posting some blood mods and crosshairs that will be acceptable on this server and I will be listening to what you guys want for that.

I know this will be a pain at first but it will be nicte to be finally cheat free.
