zzDeathmatch mod for Brothers In Arms



zzDeathmatch is a deathmatch / teamdeathmatch mod for the game Brothers In Arms (by Ubisoft and Gearbox Software).

zzDeathmatch is IN NO WAY sponsored by or supported by Gearbox Software or Ubisoft.  zzDeathmatch is a private project created by Jeffrey Broome as an example of how to create a simple mod (modification) for the game Brothers In Arms.

zzDeathmatch is NOT meant to be a full featured and super-fun mod.  For example, in normal deathmatch mode, the player only spawns with 2 weapons (a rifle and a pistol).  There are NO weapon pickups.  There are NO ammo pickups.  There are NO health packs.  There is NO attempt to balance any of the weapons.  Everybody has all the same weapons anyway, so what could be more balanced than that? ;)

zzDeathmatch is simply meant to be a mod template to help other mod developers get started with a mod for Brothers In Arms.

Save the file on your PC.  Unzip the .zip file into your Ubisoft\Gearbox Software\BrothersInArms folder for RtH30 (or Ubisoft\Gearbox Software\BrothersInArmsEiB for EiB).  The contents of the zzDeathmatch\SystemBackup folder are meant to be copied into your BrothersInArms\System (or BrothersInArmsEiB\System) folder.  You can rebuild the mod by starting up a Command Prompt window and changing to your BrothersInArms\System (BrothersInArmsEiB\System) folder and running "uccdepend zzDeathmatch.ini".  NOTE: You MUST already have the BiA SDK installed before doing this and you will need to download and install the mod .exe file (from the link above) to get the binary files (the maps, the animations, the textures, etc.).  More detailed instructions on how to build the mod will appear on the BiA Wiki site in the near future.
