Well, JohnBLucky I along with a few others saw this positive thread closed on the AAO ForumsSo what is AA:O's official stance on server mods? (http://forum.americasarmy.com/viewtopic.php?t=78600)
Maybe I'm just TOO interested in how [10th] did this server mod, I played on the server and loved it. And they will never tell how they did it or release any info about it. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about byte hacking and how they enabled offline cheats Online. The log files they talk about were used to spawn BlackHawks and strykers, I have no clue where to begin looing at how this is done.
My point of this post is, where would I start to create the same type of mod for online use? An unathorized server could be run without hasle from the Army or the Devs, simply connect via IP in the console. Again, maybe I'm just too interested in how this is done but the fact that the Devs have not released any tools for us to do these mods ourselves makes the challange that much more interesting and satisfying when the mod is done.
I have all the tools for moding the .U files and can look through them seeing some things that make sense. UTPT, AAOCrypt, UltraEdit 32
Enable offline cheats online...no clue
Change ammo in weapons (ie. RPGs instead of bullets) no clue...but I do know it has to be changed server side. Editdefault does not work online.
Sorry if I seems a bit vague, but in all honesty I don't know the right questions to ask at this point for help on re-creating the [10th] mod.
