Just to clarify some info on the VIP Mod. The coding for the VIP Mod metaMod plugin is DONE and FULLY FUNCTIONING. It works beautifully!. L.Duke has done a tremendous job fixing bugs and finding every little thing and making it work right. At this point we're just waiting for maps to be completed and tested so that we can release the Mod with some maps to play at the same time.

This mod has not yet been released. It is still in beta testing phase and waiting for maps to be finished before being released. It has been reported on some web sites as being available but it is not at this time. We will be releasing it in the next several weeks but a release date is yet to be determined.
Thanks,
The VIP Mod Team

What is VIP Mod?
Old school Counter-Strike players will remember a gameplay mode called "assasination mode" that randomly changed a member of the CT team into a VIP. The VIP player was only allowed the pistol he spawned with as his weapon. But, he also spawned with 200 armor. The misson in this game play style was simple: "Protect The VIP Team!". The CT's were to escort the VIP to a rescue zone to win the round. The terrorists objective was to kill the VIP. If they did, the round ended no matter how many other CT's were alive.
This game play mode, maybe more so than any other, demanded team play and co-operation. It was exciting to play and was a dream for those of you in to tactics and stategies. Unfortunately this game play mode died when Counter-Strike: Source was released. Valve for some reason decided not to include it in the "Direct Port" of Counter-Strike.
In the summer of 2005, long time member of the PAF Game Community L.Duke started working on a MetaMod plugin for CS: Source that would re-introduce this game play style back into the game. The result is VIP Mod
VIP Mod brings all of the features of the original assasination game play mode from Counter-Strike to CS: Source.
The only pre-requisite to running this plugin is that you have MetaMod: Source installed on your server.
