We have installed a great mod on the 24/7 Crackhouse Server called Jihad Mod. This mod enables you to become a suicide bomber and blow yourself up, killing everyone around you. It's absolutely hilarious and a great time.

Below are the instructions for how to use it in-game:

THE JIHAD MOD SUICIDE BOMBER'S USER GUIDE

PLAYERS CAN BUY A BOMB AND BLOW THEMSELVES UP TO KILL THEIR ENEMIES!

MOD DETAILS:

- Buy small or large bombs depending how much cash you have
- Small bombs are upgradable if not used
- 10 seconds after purchase, an audible beep will indicate your bomb is armed and ready to detonate
- Some bombs are faulty and may not detonate! OOOOOPS!
- Bombs will explode in a chain reaction if the player is killed by another explosion (ie: nade)
- Getting shot in the chest may accidentally detonate your bomb if it's armed
- Both teams can buy bombs, but only 100 per team / per round
- You can only buy 4 bombs per round / mapcycle. So make them count!
- Exploiting this bomb Mod by using more than you're allowed will result in a kick or ban
- If you die holding the bomb, you lose the bomb and the cash your spent to buy it!

PLAYER COMMAND LIST:

- TO BUY A BOMB: Say "!buybomb"
We recommend you bind "!buybomb" to single key for easy access by doing the following:

Open console and type - bind key "say !buybomb" (ie: bind j "say !buybomb") where key is what keyboard key you want to press to bring buy the bomb. It can be any letter or number you want as long as it isn't already in use.

- TO BLOW YOURSELF UP, open console type "boom"
We recommended you bind "boom" to a single key for easy access by doing the following in-game:

Open console and type bind key boom "ie: bind b boom" - where key is what what keyboard key you want to press to bring detonate the bomb. Again. it can be any letter or number you want as long as it isn't already in use.

- TO SEE THIS HELP MENU IN-GAME - Say "!jm" or "bombhelp"

Have fun and enjoy!

An exploit has been discovered with the Jihad Suicide Bomb Mod on the Crackhouse Server that gives players the ability to buy more bombs than they should be able to buy per round. This exploit allows players to buy bombs over and over by spamming the !buybomb command even though this is not allowed. People repeatedly using the bomb beyond the assigned limits generated numerous complaints and without these changes,
I could not prevent it from occurring.

To rectify the issue,  I have changed the settings for the Mod to eliminate the effects from the exploit. The changes still let you buy bombs and have fun, but you no longer get money for killing people and once you run out of cash, you need to wait until the next round to buy again. The most recent changes raised the team limits to buy bombs so you should be able to buy more than enough to have a good time, yet also need to be strategic as to how best to use them. I have also turned off the option for some of the bombs to be duds so people won't waste their cash on bad bombs.

If you do the math as shown below, each player can by 2 large bombs, 4 small bombs or 1 large and 2 small per round (or every 9 minutes). This should be more than enough to keep people happy but not piss others off. This will not prevent players from leaving and coming back to get more cash, but it they are stupid enough to do that and want to waste their time leaving and re-joining, then goodie for them. They're idiots.

The new settings are below.

jm_announce - ENABLED // Enable/disable to show announcements
jm_latebuying - ENABLED // Enable/disable to allow late buying
jm_ff - ENABLED // Enable/disable to allow friendly-fire from bombs
jm_colorbomber - ENABLED // Enable/disable to color bombers red
jm_delay - 10 // Roundstart delay (in seconds) before active
jm_failures - 0 // Random failures (Duds) (1 in X, 0 = Disabled)
jm_sm_price - 4000 // Price of a small bomb
jm_lg_price - 8000 // Price of a large bomb
jm_up_price - 4000 // Price of a bomb upgrade
jm_sm_size - 300 // Magnitude for small bomb
jm_lg_size - 750 // Magnitude for large bomb
jm_tbombs - ENABLED // Enable/disable to allow Ts to have bombs
jm_ctbombs - ENABLED // Enable/disable to allow CTs to have bombs
jm_tbomblimit - 100 // T bomb limit per round
jm_ctbomblimit - 100 // T bomb limit per round
jm_killcash - 0 // Cash for each kill
jm_buyfreq - 4 // How often (in rounds) a player can buy a bomb
jm_tkpunish - DISABLED // Enable/disable to prevent players from buying this many additional rounds for each TK

Let me know if the problems continue now that these changes have been made.

Basically to sum it up, it looks like if you see someone use a bomb more than 4 times per 10 minute round, you need to notify Mav that either the Jihad Mod is messed up again and reset or that someone found a way to exploit it and buy more bombs than they should have had money for. xD
