What is this mod?

A Holomatch mod that changes normal mines into proximity mines. There are also other small configurations you can make.

Installation

Extract the Zip file with all the NEV directory intact into your STVEF folder. Then run NEV.exe and you're set! Alternatively, you can activate the mod via the mod selection menu in holomatch. Please DO NOT install any files into the baseEF directory.

Quick Start

Open the console (~) and type
\nev_proximitymines 1
\nev_grenades_num 3
\map anymapname
Proximity mines will be enabled and the laucher will shoot 3 grenades/mines at a time!

Notes

Note that this is a a server side mod, meaning you can only play with it if you are hosting the game or if you are playing on a server that has this MOD installed. There is no way you can play with it on a server that hasn't got this installed. For server admins: People who connect to your server doesn't have to have this mod installed, you only need this for your server.

To identify if a server has NEV enabled, look for nev_enabled in the serverinfo.
