And I am against a huge money system, we dont have enough enough people IMO for it to work out right. I want to see the civilians quietly moving caches around, bringing things from airport to make bomb cars (ammo) and distracting the brits. Also because we cant have enterable shops.
I understand the concern for cheats, and it is always due to cheaters that hard coding is placed in any RPG. But it's a vicious circle...
So you plant a door for the "Cell", the potential cheater will next refuse to comply with an escort order. So what comes next is you make it so they teleport to jail. By doing that, you have already removed immersion, since escaping is most easiest on it's way to jail. Therefore legitimate players have had an opportunity removed from them.
My suggestion is you have a competent Admin team to catch the asshats. On the whole it's a much better way about things and honest players lose nothing.
I personally have nothing against money systems btw, they can enhance a game...

What the hell is all this about TG editing their game files still? I keep hearing references to it but never anything definite - what are TG running?

*Off topic*
City 17 and M7x here
*On topic*
I have no problem downloading stuff, as long as it doesn't interfere with my normal game and/or needs a whole new installation.

Does that require editing the files that server administrators aren't supposed to touch? I know naff all about which files do what.

Yeah, there's a difference between running a single inf-only night and regularly running an edited map tho?

If it comes to it, barbed wire/firebases etc could be set up in the Airports to act as a jail I suppose?

I'm pretty sure TG wouldn't risk to get in trouble for editing server files without a DEV knowing (if they did at all)

With the "jail" idea, what about respawning and suicide?

Another flaw... that's why it should be on a honour system. Much like airsoft

simple solution: respawn and you get banned for life.

I love this idea

But there are 2 things that are needed for a proper rpg imo,but they are both hardcoded,as hard as a rock...
But those are...more then 64 ppl in server and more teams on 1 map(the insurgents,the nato troops,and a neutral faction of civilians that could join both teams,and mercenaries..
*continues dreaming*

Someone tried to make this a reality ages ago, does someone know the status on this?

It filled up to 64 people and then no one else could join.
