| Introduction |
|
The DC (Death Clan) Mod is a server-side modification for Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast.
It has close to all the features of other admin mods like the Jedi Academy mod, and much more. The DCMoD was originally planned for use one DEATH servers only. However, with some slight modifications, it has been released to the public. It features, amongst other things, three admin levels, 70 emotes, an in-game help function, and move alterations. |
| This help file will introduce you to how to install the mod, all the commands and their syntax, all emotes, and all cvars. It will also include some Frequently Asked Questions that I might recieve through mail. |

| Installation |
|
For most people who have run other server mods like the Vulcanus Admin Mod or the Jedi Academy mod, this should be fairly easy. To Install The DCMOD in the easiest way, simply put the pk3 file in your GameData\base folder and run the server. The safer and more stable way is to properly install the mod server-side. To do so extract the jk2mpgame.qvm file from the Archive supplied with DCMOD. Now create a folder in your Gamedata folder called dcmod, and inside that folder create another folder called vm. Now place the jk2mpgame.qvm file into the VM folder. This is the Mod installed. To run the server you also need a Configuration (.cfg) file. You can either make your own, convert one from another mod or use the Supplied dcmod.cfg file. Make sure the file is renamed to dcmod.cfg if it isn't already called that and place it into your BASE folder. Now right-click on the Desktop (in blank space) and select NEW -> SHORTCUT. Now assuming you installed Jedi Knight in the default folder on the C:\ Drive you can cut and copy this Line and paste it into the Shortcut Location Box. "C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\jk2Ded.exe" +set fs_game dcmod +exec dcmod.cfg Now press ok and choose a suitable name for your Shortcut and place it somewhere easy to get to (possible the Desktop or the StartMenu). Now all you have to do to run the server is Double-Click the shortcut you just made and Voila, your DCMOD Server is now working. |

| Admin Commands |
|
These Admin commands are typed into the console or bound to a key. There are three different admin levels which can access different stuff. The sub-admins can access the basic commands, and are able to do basic server handling. The DC level admins can do everything a sub-admin can and more. The HC level admins can do everything possible with the mod. These levels are named after the DEATH clan council system. Of course, you may rename these levels to anything you'd like. The commands, however, stay the same. There are two types of commands: Admin commands, who are all prefixed with "am", and rcon commands, which are all prefixed with "dc". Note that some commands CAN NOT be used with rcon. If you're sitting there wondering what the fudge rcon is right now, I suggest you stick with the admin commands, which you use in-game when you're logged in. |
|
Below are all commands listed with their syntax, a description, and the lowest admin level which can use it. Square brackets [] surround OPTIONAL parameters. You don't HAVE to include these for the command to work. The other brackets surround required parameters. The function does not work if you do not use these. Note that most of these functions doesn't require any parameters at all, or they have the parameter "aim" instead of a target. This is because they can be used while aiming at a target. This is very handy for for example slapping someone in a hurry. You can bind a key to amslap and aim, then press the key, and the target will be slapped. Another example is binding a key to amrename aim Janos, aiming at someone and pressing the key. They will be renamed to Janos. When including the target, it can be either a client number or a partial name. If someone is named Gafagahaga then typing /amslap haga would slap him. |

| Server Cvars |
| Anyone who sets up a server should know what a cvar is. Examples of native (built-in) cvars are g_gametype, g_gravity, etc. In short, a cvar is something that changes the game dependant on what it is set to. The DCMoD has many, many new cvars to alter gameplay and performance. |

| Client Emotes |
|
Almost every mod has them. Emotes, little commands that makes the player do special tricks and twists. The DCMoD has in all 70 emotes plus one hidden. All but the hidden one are displayed here. You can see the Cvar section for more info on their groups and Cvars. |
| There are two ways to use an emote. One is to type / and the emote in the console, for example "/dcsit", another way is to use bind <key> <emote>, for example "bind z dcsit", then you can just press the z key to use it. When using freeze-group emotes, do the emote again to get out of it. |

| Any client can access these at any time if their cvar is set to 1. Move alterations change some of the moves in the game, for better or for worse. These allow you to choose. Some do more damage, but are painfully hard to hit with, while other do less damage but are great to hit with. |

| Player Commands |
| These commands can be used by anyone at any time. |
| Command | Description |
| /dchelp <topic> |
This is perhaps what seperates DCMoD from any other mod. /dchelp has a complete listing of every part of the mod.
In addition to that, /dchelp ALWAYS displays the right information, since it adjusts with the server cvars, only telling you what's allowed at the current server. Please note that this commands sends HUGE amounts of text when using the cvars and admin topics, so a cvar to disable it is added. Topics are emotes, moves, cvars and admin. |
| /dcnumber | Shows you what client number people have. Handy for PM'ing without looking at someone, by typing /tell <number> <message>. |
| /dchuntedstats | Shows you who is hunted on both teams when playing "Hunted TFFA" (See below) |
| Back To Top |
| Hunted TFFA |
|
Hunted TFFA is activated when the gametype is set to TFFA and dc_huntedTFFA is set to 1. There has to be an admin familiar with the commands at ALL times during a Hunted TFFA game. There are two Hunted persons in the game, one for each team. If the other team kills a Hunted, they score. This means that the teammates must protect their Hunted as well as trying to kill the other Hunted. (Note to admins: A Hunted must be set by the start of the game using the /amhunted command. If you want to switch the Hunted, there is no need to use /amunhunted, just use /amhunted on the new player right away. The game will automatically inform everyone when someone is made the hunted.) This is inspired by TFC's Hunted gametype. If you have any comments about this gametype which are non-technical, please contact Dogmeat, not me. |

| Frequently Asked Questions |
|
Q: OK, so I've installed the mod, what do I do know? A: Use it. Fool around with the commands, try them on bots. I think you'll find the aim functionality peculiarly interesting. Q: I try using an emote or move alteration, but the game says "Unknown cmd"! A: Make sure it's enabled with the right cvar. Q: Help, I have a lamer! A: Make sure he understands what he's doing wrong. If he does, then he's doing it on purpose. Use some nice commands on him, the are a billion combinations you can do for punishment. Q: He's cursing at me! A: Silence him. Q: He's changing his names all the time to talk! A: Use banname on him. Q: He's joining the spectators! A: Use the in-game function of forceteam to get him back, then use banteam and bankill, and he won't do that again. Q: He keeps reconnecting and I have to start all over!!! A: Ban him. Case closed. Q: What is this void someone told me about? A: "The Void" is the space OUTSIDE the map. As there is nothing there, the game has no clue at all what to draw. Teleport someone outside the map and they'll probably think you messed up their game bad. A way to do this is teleporting with an extremely low Z coordinate, like -10000. Q: I can't ban people! A: Make sure you're logged in as someone with OS admin priveleges on the folder in which you installed DCMoD. DCMoD writes IP's to a seperate file, bannedIPs.dat, which can contain up to 2048 different IPs. Q: The game crashes at completely random times! A: I had this bug with one other server, but it seemed to crash with any mod. If this happens, please, contact me ASAP. Q: The server gets random lag spurts... Without any reason. A: This might be /dchelp admin or /dchelp cvars, as they are quite large they take quite a sum of the server resources. Set dc_allowhelp to 0 to disable it. Q: Can you teach me how to mod? A: You'll have to learn the basics yourself, that's what makes a good modder who makes a good mod. ;) Q: I heard there are SECRET commands in DCMoD?!?! A: Yep. Three secret admin commands and a secret emote. There were made secret because they might unbalance the game slightly. If you find out what they are, please, don't tell everyone you know. Q: Hehehe, I got the mod, now I can use the admin commands on anyone I want!!! A: Yeah. But you'd be betraying the admin role... You're supposed to make sure people follow the rules on your server, not wildly play around. You can do that with bots. Besides, if you do this, you can see for yourself that your server will mostly be empty. Q: What do you mean by empowered people having special forces? A: Hehe, well, since you read this FAQ this far, I'll tell you. Empowered people can grip from any distance, and their mind trick lasts for half an hour, and it doesn't disappear if someone goes too far away, puts on and off seeing, or even dies. Q: Why are you copying JA mod? A: I'm not. I'm making the stuff requested by DEATH admins. :P Q: Why three admin levels? And why the bad names? A: The admin levels are named after the DEATH admin system. You can change names freely, but the commands stay the same, I'm afraid. It's not THAT hard to remember... Q: I've found a really big problem, and I can't get around it. A: Contact me. I know my mod's not bug-free, not at all. Only by getting reports of this can I try fixing it. |
