!This mod must be installed on both the client and the server!
Tested on SBW 0.8.8
!There is auto-integration with Simple Voice Chat (players are automatically split into groups).!
Features:
-
The mod adds a customizable team match mode with automatic weapon distribution for teams and a class system.
-
Ever noticed that guns from Superb Warfare don't give themselves away in combat?
My mod fixes that! Weapons now have realistic firing effects that can reveal the shooter's position:
-
Smoke haze effects when firing
-
Muzzle sparks
-
And most surprisingly... full muzzle flash effects when firing at night.
Now you won't be able to sit God-knows-where and rain down lead! They will find you.
(Light and sparks from firing are controlled — flashes only activate when firing SBW weapons without a suppressor.)
-
Class system:
Depending on the number of players per team (players are evenly split by the system when the match starts), additional bonuses are distributed:
-
Each team always has one "medic-altruist" — on top of the standard loadout, they receive enchanted golden apples which can only be used to heal teammates (and only once on themselves per match).
-
Fewer than 10 players — RPG with two rockets (the RPG applies a constant slowness effect until you drop it).
-
Fewer than 20 — drone + monitor.
-
Fewer than 30 — mortar + 5 shells (also applies slowness when carried).
All bonuses are randomly distributed among players — you won't be able to stick to the same role.
-
Wound system.
At the start of the match, Minecraft's natural regeneration is disabled — replaced by my own custom system:
-
75–50% HP — concussion (bullet, explosion) — Slowness II + Nausea until HP is restored to 75%, after which the effects are halved.
-
50–0% HP — permanent withering (bleeding), which slowly kills the player until a medic heals them.
HP does regenerate, but only through eating food; you can recover from a concussion by resting in cover, but only a medic can save you from bleeding.
That's all for now!
Admin commands (OP):
-
/arma setspawn blue/red— sets team spawn points before the match starts. -
/arma start/stop— starts/ends a round at any time. -
/arma massacre— after the match starts, activates a 50/50 mode where half of the random players are forbidden from using suppressors (fix for night battles). -
/arma attachments— lists banned attachments via the SBW H menu. -
/arma allow/disallow <barrel, scope, grip, stock, magazine>— manually bans specific mod attachments.
Team loadouts:
Red:
-
AK-47
-
120 rounds
-
Russian armor
-
1 armor plate
-
16 steaks
-
RGO grenade
-
Two smoke grenades
-
Iron shovel and axe
Blue:
-

-
American armor
-
Hand grenade instead of RGO
-
Everything else remains the same.
The mod is a work in progress; I'm making it for my own server and releasing it to create a server modpack that's easy to install. (And it might come in handy for others too.)
