ACWC/ACTV clients

[Luc@s]

All the players participating to the world cup will have to use our official clients during the tournament.

I'm providing a package containing :

• the ACWC client (which have to be used by every player, sub, and also by the referee)
  
• the ACTV client (which should be used by the broadcasters/other specs)
  

/!\ MATCHES PLAYED ON UNOFFICIAL SERVERS/NOT RUNNING THE ACWC BINARIES WILL BE IGNORED /!\
/!\ PLAYERS NOT USING THE ACWC CLIENT WILL BE REFUSED /!\

ACWC client features


The ACWC client features require an ACWC server to be turned on. If flags don't come up, or if some of the following features aren't available, don't play an ACWC match on this server. it will be ignored

• a few anticheat protections. the referee can check whether someone is currently using the ACWC client or not. i won't give details, but it's the most important feature in this client. most work is hidden, however you may be interested by the additional features :
  
• ability to see what others client are using. "acwc" means the acwc client (which is verified). "actv" means the ACTV client, but the check isn't secured. "1104" means "whatever else". You can check it from the scoreboard or doing a /whois.
  
• hitsound: "/hitsound 1" is the default behavior. "/hitsound 2" will plays the hitsound 60 ms after shot fire, whatever your ping
  
• hit reg fix
  
• /showcountryflags can be used to enable or disable country flags in the scoreboard (default: enabled)
  
• customizeable scoreboard, as in the SVN (read the docs here : http://assault.cubers.net/docs/reference..._clientnum)
  Here are the parameters that can be displayed/hidden/moved in the scoreboard :
  
  sc_clientnum {priority} (can't be disabled)
  sc_deaths {priority}
  sc_flags {priority} (can't be disabled)
  sc_frags {priority} (can't be disabled)
  sc_lag {priority}
  sc_name {priority} (can't be disabled)
  sc_ratio {priority}
  sc_client {priority} (shows what client other people are using)
  sc_score {priority}
  
  (Priority -1: disable, low priority: left, high priority: right (from -1 to 100))

ACTV client features

Hint: you can't be sure that someone is really using this client when he claims to be.

• ability to see what others client are using. "acwc" means the acwc client (which is verified). "actv" means the ACTV client, but the check isn't secured. "1104" means "whatever else". You can check it from the scoreboard or doing a /whois.
  
  
• /showcountryflags can be used to enable or disable country flags in the scoreboard (default: enabled)
  
  
• customizeable scoreboard, as in the SVN (read the docs here : http://assault.cubers.net/docs/reference..._clientnum)
  The parameters are the same as in the ACWC client, although there is one more (sc_accuracy, which can be turned on/off, off by default).
  
  
• /radarlabelscale (min: 0.5f, default: 0.8f, max: 1.5f)
  
• /showmap (0 = hidden, 1 = right top + scaled, 2 = default minimap (big and centered)
  
• /minimapx (min: 0, default: 100, max: 2000)
  
• /minimapy (min: 0, default: 100, max: 2000)
  
• /setteam {team} {team name}: will set a team's name. e.g: /setteam 0 "Italy" will set CLA's name as Italy.
  /setteam 1 "Brazil" will set RVSF's name as "Brazil".
  
• /drawmesh (0 = hidden, 1 = draw "waypoints" history on the minimap, 2 = experimental, do not use)
  
• meshteam (0 = show CLA mesh data, 1 = show RVSF mesh data)
  
• meshwalks (min: 5, default: 10, max: 100) (scale data for mesh drawings)
  
• you can't shoot with that client (but you can throw nades, hehe)
  
• minimap shows players of both teams at the same time

Installation instructions

Windows

Just extract the archive corresponding to your OS in your AC installation folder.
Then you have two options.

#1 You have installed AC in multi user mode.
(which is the case if you're grabbing your screenshots from "your documents/assaultcube_v1.1.0.4..")
In this case :
Make a copy of your usual launcher (shortcut or bat file).
Then, edit it's properties (if shortcut) or content (with notepad, if bat file).
And then, replace "ac_client.exe" by "ac_client_acwc.exe".
Save the properties/file content and start the acwc client from the copy you made.

#2 You have installed AC in single-user.
Then run the right launcher. "ACWC.bat" will run the acwc client, and ACTV.bat the ACTV client.
Configs will be saved in the installation folder. If you don't want that, edit your launcher by yourself accordingly.
