About ROCmod
-------------------
ROCmod is an admin mod for SOF2. It is similar to existing mods such as OSP
and Sneaky, but the intent in creating ROCmod was to take the best features
from all admin mods and combine them into a single "ultimate admin" mod, with
many additional features thrown in as well. ROCmod is well on its way to
achieving this goal, and already contains an impressive list of features and
options for both server admins and players.

ROCmod is not a weapon mod, and should not be mistaken as one. ROCmod does not
modify the weapons and damage properties of weapons within SOF2. Servers are
free to use (or not use) any damage configuration they wish with ROCmod.


ROCmod includes the following features:

- All mod features can be configured
- Both client/server and server-only modes
- Admin users, with a huge set of commands available
- Sysop "super admin" users, with many admin management features such
  as sysop immunity and detailed admin command restrictions
- Referee users, temporary admins with limited powers
- Clan members, with special scrim management commands
- Client-side admin control center
- Many admin punishment commands and settings
- Team management commands for shuffling, swapping, and evening teams
- Many scrim features such as team/spec locking and admin suspending
- Match mode, for quickly organizing scrims and matches in a predictable
  and fair environment
- Match moderators, to safely referee matches and scrims
- Configurable admin rcon access
- Anonymous admin options
- Penalty box, with automatic punishment for team killing, spawn killing,
  and flag stealing
- Fully customizable voice commands, with over 80 included standard
- Many customizable gameplay notifications, such as headshots
- Admin-only voice commands
- Persistent player text tokens
- Colored names
- Detailed kill info
- Fast chat shortcuts, to use admin/referee/clan chat without having to drop
  the console
- A completely redesigned game HUD and scoreboard
- Ability to view teammate health/armor/weapon info, as well as a team overlay
  for an overview of teammate locations and status
- On-screen spectator list, to see non-admin players spectating you
- In-game MOTD
- Server messaging system
- New player greetings
- A large number of intermission player stats with scores and medals
- Killing sprees
- Detailed logging of gametypes and admin usage
- Server-side client mod verification
- Custom server logo on loading screen
- Player list to show client id, ip, and rate
- Explosion gore
- Minimum rate settings to kick laggers
- Anti-camping punishment
- Player cvar checking
- Auto-demo recording and auto-screenshot options
- Fully customizable team names and team colors
- Vote management settings and commands to prevent spamming
- Player reconnect tracking
- Bad word chat filter
- Player tagging, to execute admin commands on multiple players at once
- Classic CTF gametype
- Smear The Queer gametype
- Female team models
- Several security fixes to prevent server exploits
- Built-in customizable file scanner for modified file and skin detection
- Plus a multitude of additional tweaks and additions! See the included
  reference docs for details

Installation
-------------------
Installation for Servers:  
1.  Download the ROCmod server zip either from http://rocmod.rocclan.com or
    http://www.sof2files.com
2.  Unzip the entire contents to your server's SOF2 folder (this will create
    a "rocmod" folder within the SOF2 folder)
3.  Add +set fs_game rocmod to your command line (startup script or batch file)
4.  Run your server!

Installation for Clients:
1. Connect to a ROCMOD server and have Autodownloading ON
2. OR go to http://rocmod.rocclan.com and Download the client files and place
   them in a folder you create in your SOF2 Folder named "rocmod" without the
   quotes.

Obviously the easier way is to just connect to a server running the RocMod.

*(if this feature is not already available) You guys need to add a way to modify the serverfiles from ftp it says the files are located here "/home/buzzedau/.gameservers" but i need to be able to access this via ftp how can this be done?

Ok i figured out how to access the files and uploaded the Rocmod folder now I downloaded the start.hs file and added


"Add +set fs_game rocmod to your command line (startup script or batch file)" to the end of the command line but its not showing up in the running command line in cpanel

it just says this in cpanel:

/home/*******/.gameservers/sof2_0/sof2ded +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 173.212.246.74 +set net_port 20100 +set fs_homepath /home/********/.gameservers/sof2_0 +exec server.cfg +set sv_punkbuster 1

Do I need to use the custom command line in whm? if so do I just add "+set fs_game rocmod " or do I need to add the entire command line and add +set fs_game rocmod

Thanks,
John

there are several ways to do this now. Since the option "+set fs_game" doesn't currently exist, the easiest way would be to add it to the appended command line options, so in that text box:

+set fs_game rocmod

This is not the same as the custom command line which would be a full path and args string, so do not "enable" that feature for this situation.

If you run into a problem with it, put in a ticket for me.

is it possible to make a user able to use the append command line? i want to give people servers that they can control in their own cpanel account so they need to be able to have full customization everything from adding maps, mods and other stuff and be able to edit the command line so that they can have it run their mods and what not.

If this is not already available it should be added into the next update

---edit solved the question i made in this post but please answer the post above---

To some extent, yes you can give them the ability to freeform enter command line attributes, but you have to specify the values. For instance you can allow a "+set fs_game" override where they could type in anything they wanted. I can probably extend this functionality some if folks need. Check out the "Simple Config Editor" linked from the "Manage Game" page in WHM for the user/game/install in question to see what options you can use to change the config for the client, the section at the bottom is the one that will let you override command line options; if you get stuck on how to set it up to achieve your desired results, put in a ticket for me explaining what you are looking for and I'll see if I can set it up.
