Getting Started with Ratmod
Ratmod is all set up for you with great defaults. Make sure that auto-download is on and when you go on a Ratmod server everything will be set for you.
To make an enemy model green and team model pink:
\cg_enemyColor green
\cg_teamColor pink
If you want the default team colors back, use a blank value: ""
Some people ask: Why don't brightskins/shells/outlines show up even though I configured them?
To see an overview of the available votes, type \cv

The Team Queue System
There is now a queue system available for team-based modes. The intention of this system is to make sure the teams have equal numbers. It only allows people to join in pairs, which ensures that joining players cannot create unequal teams.
This is not yet on by default yet and it is a vote: \cv custom queues
- All people waiting in queue will be shown on the scoreboard with appropriately colored text.
- when a player for each team is available in the queue, they will join the game.
- If the teams become unequal because one or more of the players leave, then the server will equalize the player numbers. This will happen after a round is finished for round-based game types. The last player that joined a team is put in queue in this situation.
