Just a short description of the essentials since I'm too lazy to write proper
documentation.
For players:
There are three console commands for you: "next_map","votestats" and "maplist".
"next_map" is used for voting for skipping this map, "votestats" gives you
information about who has voted and who hasn't and "maplist" will print the
next 5 maps in the map pool.
There are two userinfo settings: "gender" and "deathmsg". Setting "gender" to
"f" will alter the "fell to his death" deathmessage to say "fell to her death".
"deathmsg" has 3 settings. 0, the default, is the normal behaviour with
regards to deathmessages. 1 will make fodffa only send you deathmessages which
involve you, and 2 will filter them all away.
For server administrators:
Localinfo "motd1" through "motd5" will give you 5 lines of MOTD, which will be printed
in the console to connecting clients and spectators.
At the top of fodffa_admin.qc, you can set usernames and passwords for fodffa.
Admins can see serverstatus, force a change to a particular map and kick
players. "cmd goadmin <password>" is used to obtain admin rights, and both
successful and failed login attempts are logged to the console. The admin
commands are called "serverstatus", "changemap", "kickbegin", "kicknext" and
"kickthis". The two first need "cmd" prepended due to clients having commands
with that name.
You can set the required amount of votes for next_map to happen. By default,
more than 66% of the players need to vote for skipping to the next map, but
you can change it to 50% by typing "localinfo votelimit 50" at the server.
Notice that _more_ than the votelimit is required for the server to skip to
the next map.
Besides the normal timelimit cvar, you can set a timelimit local to a specific
map using localinfo keys. For example, if you want the general timelimit to be
12 minutes, but want the timelimit for dm3 to be only 5 minutes because the
map sucks so badly, you would set timelimit to 12 and use "localinfo
dm3timelimit 5".
Installation:
Type "make" in the root fodffa directory to build the QC compiler and fodffa
itself. After it's done, qwprogs.dat will be placed in the fodffa
subdirectory. The install rule of the makefile will automatically copy the
file to ~/quake/fodffa/.
FodFFA requires either MVDSV or a QSG compliant server which supports
KRIMZON_SV_PARSECLIENTCOMMAND and either of FRIK_FILE or ZQ_QC_STRINGS.
