Un-restricting Restricted weapons

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

it is becoming a huge issue in the ZM server.
it is not much about whether or not it is admin abuse as it is it being a common trait for newer admins and some older to express this new found ablilty in the server. Members who are non- Admin are begining to complain when i come into the server and state that the pre-restricted weapons are restricted for a reason. So it isnt just about making note of a problem that is going on but hopfully determining a boundry and limitations when it comes to un-restricting weapons, regarding admin abuse.

i personally belive that ZERO restricted these weapons for a reason and that if they are restricted they shouldnt be unrestricted with the RCON commands the admins (not clan members) should not have the ability to exercise.

but if im wrong, then im wrong.

Some one shed some light an end this indecisive partial ZM chaos!

its not a rcon command.

I for one believe that the awp is ok to un-restrict on certain maps( like euro-news), but the auto-snipers should NEVER be un-restricted.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

its not a rcon command.

only your self and a few others would even CARE to know that command, your response to my post pretty much proves that.

Yeah, I'd like some ZERO feedback on this. Personally I don't like playing maps where there are AWPs and other restricted weps and I can't pick them up because they're restricted (if the map designers put them in there, why not play with them?), but if ZERO explicitly says not to unrestrict them for whatever reason, I'll leave it at that. :icon_mrgreen:

i agree. the only time i unrestrict auto snipes is when they ability that go with map or make you look cool.

No ZERO feedback? :/

1st off, you can do it very easily without a console command. there is and admin-enu sub-menu for it. 2nd, maybe it wasnt like the OLD zm you guys are always talking about, but i remember when i firts started playing on zm, the weapons were restricted in the buy menu, but players were still able to pick them up off the map if the mapmaker placed the weapons on something (i.e. skybox, tower, etc.) imo thats the way it should be

agree, but since that's not possible we're forced to restrict them completely.

well, have we gotten oficial word from zero as to whether this is possible or not? :stupid:

yes, we have. it was a feature in the old version of zombieMod. the one we have (latest) oes not have this feature. :stupid:

well i never saw that thread so i guess :ditto:

no, but based off the rules before the first huge update that broke this feature... they should not be used period

Just for the record, I'd still like to just have an official post from ZERO to settle it. ATM I don't go out of my way to unrestrict AWPs ever (I could care less either way; I'm on a map to admin and pwn people not oggle the pretty guns), but my view is that if a.) there are AWPs already on the map and b.) enough people request it, I'll consider unrestricting them, maybe even put it to a vote or something democratic like that.

i won't.

only map i'd do it on is euronews, simply because the map's too big anyway
