Oz Deathmatch

v 1.1
http://quakestyle.telefragged.com/oz/index.htm

Oz only runs on version 1009 of Half Life.

Oz is a server side multiplayer mod for Valve's Half Life.  No files are necessary for clients to play.  Simply log onto an Oz server.

Oz features an immense amount of customizability due to the use of .cfg files.    Simply change the values in the Oz.cfg file to have them take effect.  With the config file you can change MANY things, like damage amounts, max ammo/health/armor, and the ability to disable/enable weapons in your server.  You can even select what each player should start with in their inventory.  All standard features of Half Life are supported except single player.  All the variables are also accessible in game, just type the variable you want to change with the according numeric value following it.  Almost all changes will take effect immediately, but some things that have to do with the player, like their max health or charge, won't take effect until they die.

Additionally, Oz has an offhand grappling hook, used with the command, "+hook".  Simply bind this to a key once you join a server.

Note: the secondary fire mode of the Glock now puts a silencer on the gun instead of the inaccurate, 2x firing rate.

Note: the included oz shortcut probably needs to be modified based on your system (IF you want to use the shortcut).  Currently, it will look for the hl.exe in c:\sierra\half-life.  Just right click the shortcut and pick properties, than edit the command line for hl.exe.  Everything else in that line MUST stay the same, otherwise the mod will not be loaded.  If this mod was installed through half life, you can "activate" it on the custom game menu.

Installation:  Unzip the Oz11.zip into your Half-Life directory.  It will make it's own Oz folder and all the needed files are included inside.  Use the -game oz command to set up a server, and refer to http://www.planethalflife.com for server settings.  If previous versions of Oz exist on your computer, DELETE THE OZ.INI FILE.  The Oz.cfg file is what the game will read.

It is asked that all servers running Oz include something in their motd.txt that explains how to use the grappling hook, and states that it is an Oz server.
