i once got banned from a server after messing with the /cg_fov settings.

doh got banned i got that once to for the setrate command it was to high they said turn it down
hehe i also got warned about listening to leafs420 guy they sid he crazy watch out for him

Also thanks for the commands i can never remeber those they are a definite helper

/set r_picmip 3
/set cg_shadows 0
/set r_finish 0
/set r_detailtextures 0
/set r_subdivisions 999
/set r_texturemode GL_LINEAR
/set cg_drawdamagekick "0"
/set cg_drawfallkick "0"
/set cg_fallkick "0"
/set cg_damagekick "0"
/set cg_bloodflash "0"
/set cg_blooddamageblend "0"
/set cg_showblood "1"
/set cg_bloodtime "0.0000"
/set cg_blinktime "100.0"
/set r_drawsun 0
/set cg_atmosphericeffects "0"

The maxpackets is CL not com.

if you are the referee/admin operating within the console, g_gravity [number] sets the gravity on a map and g_speed [number] will change how fast folks move.

"latched" means that the value stated is what you told ET to change the cvar to, but the said cvar (variable or setting) is read-only during ET run. Such variable change was just written in your config and it will be change don ET restart.

More detailed description: some ET cvars can only be set or changed on ET start, before the game initializes fully. Such settings must be done in either ET config, autoexec.cfg file or on commandline.

The biggest problem is that if you change a cvar using console, it will be written into your config for the game mod you're in (eg if youre playing etpub youll be in etpub game mod "scope") - but only config for the startup mod (etmain by default) will be used on startup. This is a big issue for things like com_hunkmegs - if you change it after joining etpub server, it will be written into your etpub config file and thus never changed and will stay "latched" forever - because whenever your etpub config will get loaded, it will always be too late and the cvar is already read-only.

Well that's exactly it my hunkmegs stay 'latched'. I see now why. So I should change it whilest in the mod but not on a server?

You should change it just after you start ET. That way you'll be in the mod you start ET in...won't you? Just do the change before you join any server after et startup - joining a server is the most common way to switch clients game mods.

exactly so ingame (in the mod) but not on a server. Thx!

MZ r u back yet, would like to see you in game...Osok out

zeman, what does 'cvar' mean exactly? is it just a type of variable, any variable, all variables, globals only, local only or what? i've seen that term many times over the years and never really understood it.

i did look it up in a google define and got this: http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3A+cvar&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1 . so, is that what it is and how is it used in ET?

Couldn't find a good explanation why they're called cvars, but essentially

cvar is an ET game variable, the kind you can set in config or console. In other words, cvar is a variable that is visible to the gamer, not just internal program variable.

ok, i got it. thanks, Z

maybe that one fits good into ET section now?

Rate > 25000 is not usefull.
In theory higher is better but the quake 3 engine is practically limited to 25000.

Very true. 25000 is the hardcoded limit.
