Hello, I am part of a realism unit in DODS, realism is a different style of gameplay than normal CAL, it gives teams attack and defense, and you only get one life. When you die, you are supposed to move to spectator.
With the new update, our automatic realism match mod broke, so I was wondering if a coder would like to take this on.
Features
Plugin Admin menu that controls a few things.
1: Defense timer that we can set. If not, a variable in a config that we can change. Some sort of visible timer or countdown clock appears to all the players, and during this time, they can respawn as normal.
2: Automatically puts a password on the server, which we can set up with a variable. Also increase the time limit and unlimit teams.
3: An option that admins can hit that broadcast to all players the IP and pre-set password, so they can invite their friends.
After the timer is up, or a plugin admin types the words "live live live", match mode is entered. The server counts down from a number we can set, like 20 minutes or so. But players don't want a big box distracting them with a clock, so a message in chat or hint text area at the 5, 10, 15, 18, 19, and 19.5 minute mark would be better. Something like "15 minutes remaining".
If any players die during this time, they are moved automatically by the server to spectator. People connecting to the server should not be allowed to join a team, nor should dead players, until the round is over. The round is over when an admin says "unlive unlive unlive" or every player on one team dies.
When that happens, have a message saying "Axis Win!" if the Axis team wins, or the same thing for the Allies.
The realism community is a small, but very dedicated and strong community in DOD:S. This sort of plugin would convince many different units to move to source mod, and really experience everything great it has to offer.
Configurable Features

Server password

If you got any questions or want to talk about it in more detail, you can ask me for my Steamfriends account thru PM, or just reply here. I'll be checking back soon. Thanks!
