Summary
Server setup for R8 servers: one layered settings file for teams, team rules, FIA, rounds, HQ protection and view rules, and an F6 staff menu to see and change them. Test build.
Description
R8 Core is the server-setup mod for R8 servers. It works with any scenario and does nothing its settings file, or the running game mode, doesn't switch on.
This test build:
- reads $profile:R8_Core/config.json at round start, in layers: default, the game mode's own values, the map, then the scenario
- teams: names and flags, team balance, one team change per round, rejoining puts you back on your team, and FIA as a third faction with a player limit
- rounds with side swap, and a server restart at round end
- protected zones (an HQ in R8 Territory): no damage, no firing and no weapon positions inside
- view rules: third person only when driving or flying, or never
- the loading screen, deploy menu, building and vehicle caps for game modes that use them
- an F6 staff menu that shows every setting and lets staff change it, for the whole server or this scenario, with Reset to go back to the file
Staff ranks come from a staff mod such as R8 Admin. Without one, the people listed under "owners" in the settings file can change settings and the server's other listed admins can only look. Players never see the menu.
