Title: Changing build limit
Post by: Belier13 on July 20, 2006, 06:36:29 pm

Well In some server the build limit was increased, we had about 150 ~~points something around that,

how so?

Answer unless you are BR, thanks.

in your tremulous folder open up the file
server.cfg

and edit these lines to whatever you want

set g_humanBuildPoints 100
set g_alienBuildPoints 100

Not certain but i'd guess the limit would be 255

SST server has a build limit of 260, so no, the limit is not 255. That's the size of a byte, and I would hope we'd advance past then by now in computing =)

Btw, humans incidently camp a lot on SST...

there seems to be no upper limit on build points.

atleast if there is it isnt under 1000.

What do you open it with?

EDIT: nvm, found it

EDIT2: I couldn't find the above lines for some reason.

Fun enough.. there are 2 of them.
One in the tremulous folder, and one in teh base folder.. i think you have the base folder one..

But actually you can use from the console
/devmap mapname
to enable cheats
and then enter
/set g_humanbuildpoints 999
or whatever you want so you can play instead of having it dedicated if thats what you want..

But I have to have it in the server folder?

Server folder!?!?

You don't need to do anything special to use the devmap cheat... you can do that from the console ingame if thats what your asking..

Ok, I got that, but what's the code to change stages? :P

That's pretty much all I want to know. =/

EDIT: I can get it to 2, but if I try to get it to 3, I can't buy/build anything =/

;)
/set g_humanstage #
/set g_alienstage #

0 = stage 1
1 = stage 2
2 = stage 3
3 = stage 4 :eek:

At least this is on topic. And you are not the boss of us, even in your thread. The admins/mods are. :)

I beg to differ.

You don't seem to be an admin/mod...

And we ARE on topic...
well, we were, but this pretty much got shifted to this argument.

That looks like it's storing it as a floating point? Why?
I know the quake 1 engine stores everything as a float, but I would have thought they would have changed that?

CVAR is a structure with a float, a int (often) and a string version.
The engine can get the version that fit the context ( for a netname, will get the string version, other stuff may need to integer or float version ).
After a change, all other versions are recalculated.  You sould say that Cvars store "variants" more than floats.

Netcode use integer, even to encode floats. Maps formats are integer based. OpenGL seems more float friendly. Game stuff seems integer friendly. Ok?
