ProMod Live v2.03 Released

After a few days of delay, the promodlive v2 mod has been released today ProMod Live v2.03 Released to the public. The announcement of this mod (then named promod 4.42) a few weeks ago came out of the blue as the scene had finally settled down with promodlive v1. Quite a stir was created within the COD4 scene, but ways were sought to combine forces between the developers of the different versions. The two sides never came to an agreement and Trivve, together with Ingram continued their work and were close to completion last tuesday. Raf1 helped out to straighten out the last errors and today the coders behind V2 feel the mod is ready for its release. As most of you already know, the new mod is built upon the accepted promodlive v1 by Carlisle, but includes several bug fixes and improvements to the code. Eventhough time seems too short to be implemented in the summer LANs, the mod is now in the open.

Promodlive v2 is based on v1, except with the following bug fixes and code-enhancements:

- Fully functional shoutcaster overlay for all resolutions and aspect ratios
- Class loadouts are preserved in the rank file
- Class related binds
- Enhanced client- and server-security
- Small changes/improvements to the hud and menus
- Players left-HUD is rebuilt and therefore it is possible to get rid off for those nice-looking frag-movies
- Full Hardcore-mode support, including support for all gametypes, HC mode will also use cook-nades
- Red enemy crosshair glitch through smoke fixed
- Added a strat mode (promod_mode strat) with nadetraining possibility, similar to AM4PAM
- Client-side scorebot functionality implemented, similar to the PAM4 scorebot.
- Disabled ammo-sharing between SMG and M9 Beretta, as well as reduced weapon switch on M16
- All taunt sounds have been removed

Statement Jan “ paradox” Duchon (Mod tester): “Well, after the successful release of PromodLIVE v1, trivve’s crew still worked on fixing things, which were planned in the final version of promod and were not implemented in LIVEv1 because of lack of time. Trivve and ingram did a really great job with this mod, when i tested it i knew that it was what the community needed and that’s it is a step forward for sure. Additions like classbinds, hud/menu tweaks are really great and i think that everyone is going love them . Now i hope that the community will accept this mod as it did when live v1 was released. It is basically the same mod only with additions and bugfixes. Therefore i hope there will not be any problems. PromodLIVE v2 <3″
