Good to see you're involved in this WCP75, I've been watching the progress of this in anticipation for some time now & can see how amazing it will be. I use your other mod which is great enough.
Gives confidence that this won't 'die' like some impatient people say ... oh and thx for being 1 year ahead of me on turning 40 too!! ha

great progress on this mod, proof that the game's far from dead!

Unsure about the 'killed by' but you can remove the names of both friendly & enemy players by opening the pezbot iwd file and navigating to maps/mp/gametypes/_globallogic.gsc, then add these dvars at the end of the section headed 'Callback_PlayerConnect' self setClientDvar ("cg_drawCrosshairNames", 0); and self setClientDvar ("cg_drawfriendlyNames", 0); .. this worked for me

don't forget the underscore between 'svr' and 'pezbots'
ie. /svr_pezbots 1 (for one bot, or any other number for required amount of bots)

Have some faith people, I'm sure the devs will get back onto this as time permits. At least they've released some elements of the mod to try out which is more than some people have done. Besides, if Wiccop is involved with this I'm sure it we'll eventually see a release - anyone who has the wcp 2.9 mod (I have) knows that these things take some time & tweaking.

Good stuff, even more variety & PMC can suit any nationality. Thanks for the response, I'll certainly be watching this space! Could I (humbly) suggest GIGN if you haven't already considered it, or even if it's possible?
Looking at *some comments on other mods here & at FileFront, more people ought to appreciate this kind of effort ... good to see all your feedback is positive (as it should be!)

Great work, you lot must have a LOT of patience to put so much in! The only downside for me is the British being removed (yep, I'm a Brit & like to play as one)
Still, that's just a preference thing & it doesn't stop me being impressed with your work.
It's good to see people are keeping this game alive, cheers!

I've got to say this is the best mod I have ever used on CoD2.
Just one question, when back2fronts is available will we need to remove this to install? or will they run side by side?
Excellent work by the way, and thanks to you & everyone involved for keeping the game fresh!

I'm going to try this for realism, and maybe pick up a few Russian phrases ... although I doubt being able to say 'Die, Fritz! We'll thaw you out in the spring' in Russian will benefit me much in real life ;)

thank you for the answer, feel a bit silly for asking now ;)

don't put it in the 'main' folder & don't just extract the IWD, the complete folder called 'mbotsoundfinal' (after unzipping) needs placing in C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 2 (or your equivalent), make a shortcut of your multiplayer exe, right click on the new shortcut & click 'properties' and paste the command '+set fs_game mbotsoundfinal +exec mbotsoundfinal.cfg' (without quotes) after the text, make sure there's a space before the first +

finally got it working by keeping v.0.92 in the main folder as well, some improvements (ie. bots go prone & crouch etc. & appear more like real players) but reverted back to v.0.92 because it lost any realism with the 'all weapons available' and American accents when playing as Brits - still a 10/10 from me though, you've put a lot of work in here

Captain's usually are young. In the game it's Captain Price who is actually quite old for this rank and with his skills & leadership qualities he'd have been promoted to Major or even beyond that to Colonel by now This young officer adds to realism.

ONLY a Colonel??? Try serving in a real army & saying that lol

one of the British contributions to the Russian war effort ;)

If this is the same P38 that is used in WCP's mod then I have to say it DOES look very realistic in game ... just remember you're looking at a magnified view and it will appear much smaller in game. Great work, is seems like WCP's mod is a great taster for back2fronts!

Hauptmann Von Price? Great use of bump maps!

Maytckis, excellent work on these. You've certainly got the look spot on! Could we please see these model & skins released separately by any chance? I'd love to see these in game (on my side) .. if it's for this mod only then fair play & keep up the good work, I just hope to see it released soon

these look great, such a shame all the best British remodels & skins are out of reach for now .. the whole mod looks like a lot of work, it'll be worth waiting for!

Is this for non UK versions? I have the UK version of the game and these voice files are the same as the ones already in the game IWDs

any chance of seperating the mods?

ok, I only asked recently so can't expect any answer from anyone quickly I know, but I really want to get this mod to work and nothing seems clear. Also the command line tells you to run 'mbotsoundfinal.cfg' and after unzipping the file to check contents there is no such .cfg file - is this why it doesn't work for me?

this sounds like your folder permissions need changing. right click the call of duty folder (the folder containing your game exe file), select 'properties', click the tab at the top labeled 'security' and you should see an 'edit' button and set permissions in the field below. I had this issue too at first.

why has this been marked as spam? it seems a genuine enough query and the installation instuctions aren't exactly very clear ... as asked before, is this an ADD-ON or a REPLACEMENT mod for the previous version & do any old files need keeping/deleting? more info please as this looks great but out of reach
