Welcome to the RamboMod version 1.0.16.  This gamemode was written as an alternate for the normal conquest mode for BF2, and also to provide a form of deathmatch where previously there was none.  Furthermore, this is a SERVER ONLY mod, and is completely compatable with non-rambo-patched clients.  in fact, normal clients don't need to patch anything, as this was designed to work without the need for the end-client to download anything

This mod currently overwrites several files in the BF2 file structure.  In all events, I've included original copies of those files should you wish to restore them.  To install, just copy all of the folders here into your Root battlefield directory (overwriting as you go).  The specific files overwritten:

/Battlefield 2/mods/bf2/python/game/gamemodes/gpm_cq.py
/Battlefield 2/Admin/standard_admin/ ((all files)) -- *Note!  if you have custom scripts here, you'll have to merge them with the new ones.
/Battlefield 2/mods/bf2/Levels/Sharqi_Peninsula/server.zip -- *Note!  This map is optional.  it is the same as the normal Sharqi_peninsula but with tanks removed.  We found gameplay to be a bit better without them, but you're welcome to use any map you like with this gamemode mod.  We recommend this map above all others, and also we recommend 16 player maps max.

All files except the server.zip file are necessary for it to correctly run.  Also, though the code should do it, be sure to disable TKpunish settings in the server configuration.


The rules of rambomode are simple:

-All players spawn as American.  When a player becomes Rambo, they are automatically swapped to the enemy side, and back again when they die.
-Only one person is Rambo.  Only Rambo can score points.  It is his job to stay alive and kill as many people as he can.
-To become Rambo, you must kill the current Rambo whereupon you are automatically turned into Rambo.
-All matches end in a draw, with the goal being who can get the highest amount of kills.

You're welcome to use this mod for your server and host it online.  All that I ask in return is that you consider using the included logo.jpg in either the sponsor or community logo.  If you don't have a place to host it, you can link it from here: http://warp.xboxishuge.info/Woodrow/sponsorlogo.jpg  .  If you reference our website, "www.warpmod.com" I'll be even more appreciative

This mod was programmed mainly as a proof of concept and as practice working with the BF2/python scripting system.  I am currently releasing this project under the GNU GPL licence agreement (see LICENCE.txt), but would like to just explicity state that I make no garrantees or warranty of any kind should you decide to use the files in any way.  You are welcome to use this to create any variations/patches/fixes, but if you do make any modifications to it, I would be happy if you include my name as part of the initial coders. If you have any comments or thoughts about it, or if you are hosting a server, please send them to Woodat@gmail.com.
