Crysis Wars Extended Server Options
The Server Side Mod (SSM) originally developed by Hawkeye is a very famous modification allowing administrators to adjust server settings. With this modification he built a base for future projects just as SSM Aegis or SSM Patriot.
We are proud to have vecchia in our team, one of the originally developers of SSM Patriot that is now working on Crysis Wars ESO. This is mainly a server side extension that works in collaboration with Crysis Wars EX and allows administrators to continue using their favorite and loved SSM features. Of course this is just the base. Crysis Wars ESO will be updated independently what means you can expect regular updates to this system.
The version included in Crysis Wars EX is an early BETA version that is not officially supported by us. Use at your own risk (for now). The current features of Crysis Wars ESO are listed below:
- Connection logging
- Chat logging
- Hit logging
- Spam messages.
- Chat commands available for admins and players to execute extended server options.
- Possibility to mute the chat.
- Team kill custom options
- Admin invincibility
- Premium state allowing specific users to spawn with and extended equipment.
- Options to define the starting equipment of all players including the attachments.
- Kill streak feature
- Custom headshot message
- Custom welcome message
- Map abandon feature
- Factories custom messages
- Players names protection
That’s it for this news update. Soon we will announce the definite release date for Crysis Wars EX 1.1.0. Just give us some more time to prepare the release and servers properly.
Sincerely,
Your Online Modding Group
I know you guys don't usually answer questions her but is there any kind of AI in this mod or are you only improving the game with additions and balancing? Thanks if you o answer.
Hi,
There is no AI support for EX because we are focusing on working on the Multiplayer part of it.
While Crysis Wars was an Add On to Crysis MP more or less you can see EX as Add On to Crysis Wars. According to what I got from our testers and some people inside Crytek we achieved quite a high quality in case of implementation of new features. :)
We are currently working with the trained team on some SP total conversation. So there you will have AI support for sure.
How many people play Crysis EX regularly? It looks great, but before I reinstall Crysis Wars and path it and what not I just wanted to make sure that there are others playing.
Thank You,
- Eric
