FAQ:

Q: What about the hardcore, and support for all gametypes, how do I use them?
A: You should set promod_mode to "match(_hc)". For a complete list of promod modes, see below.

Q: Can the rulesets be customized to fit my needs?
A: Promod has always been about an unified ruleset. Therefore they only thing you can change is the mr-rating for SD. This is also working for SAB.

Q: I want to run my own custom promod-server with skins etc, how?
A: In order to run your own custom promod-server you'll need to change the fs_game to promodlive2_custom, and set promod_mode to "custom_public".

Q: How can I disable the players left-HUD?
A: First of all, the demo must be recorded using Promod 4.42 or LIVE V2. Then set the command "hud_enable" to "0".

Q: Can I use this mod as a movie mod?
A: Yes, you can! Commands (which are important for movie-making) are only forced on the clients once connected (with one exception, see below). Demos needs to be loaded using devmap before starting a demo ("devmap mp_crash; disconnect").

Q: How do I get the scorebot running?
A: See below for scorebot dvars.

Q: Class related binds, how do they work?
A: See below for a list of commands.

Q: My question is not answered here.
A: Join #promod4 @ QuakeNet, or if You prefer Xfire, contact Trivve (trivia89) or Ingram (ingram93).
