Great job..
And..what about !layout ?
Why is this feature not in the qvm, we have !listlayouts but not !layout it looks like lol.

[Paradox]

!layout is long depricated.

Just make it on devmap and !layoutsave

[Drakotsu]

Ohh and also..
how would i use the extreme mod commands?

Using RCON to set..

g_modBuildableHealth
g_modBuildableSpeed
g_modHumanStamina
g_modHumanHealth
g_modAlienHealth
g_modHumanRate
g_modAlienRate
g_modWeaponAmmo
g_modWeaponReload

does absolutely nothing for me >.<

It only takes effect after running a new map.

Nice work! Only question: is it on code.google.com? Because paradoxdgn.com is having trouble loading.

Yes, i just direct people to my blog post in case i need to make a fast update. Easier than editing 5 posts, i just edit one.

Hi I'm Ackman ... new here.

In tremspain we are using your qvm... i have some ideas:

-Add: Spec your teammates
-Add: /builder, /me, etc. To !help command. Like in lakitu7's wvm.
-Fix: If you evolve from dretch to AdvGoon and then you evolve to Tyr it costs 2 evos, not 1.
-Somethings i forgot...

[mooseberry]

-Fix: If you evolve from dretch to AdvGoon and then you evolve to Tyr it costs 2 evos, not 1.

That's allways been there, it's supposed to be like that im sure.

[ACKMAN]

Why? lol

[Lakitu7]

Balance. The "upgrades" are a strategic decision, not something that's "free."

[ACKMAN]

Oh.. i sometimes evolve to goon (fucking binds.. xD) and i lose 1 evo

[Bissig]

Balance. The "upgrades" are a strategic decision, not something that's "free."

But humans upgrade for free even when they make a mistake?

And why only from Adv Goon to Tyrant?

[Lakitu7]

advmara to goon is the same way, as is advbasy to mara.

Humans doing it is irrelevant. The sides play differently. Aliens can change classes away from the base. Humans can't. Aliens can't "devolve." Humans can. Balance.

Yes, that's why I don't like evo binds either. Better to just learn to click faster. People who say you can't evo in the air without evo binds are slow / lieing.

Ok, seems I overlooked the advmara to goon since I dont like playing mara - yet. At the moment I try to improve my deadly basi skills (whatever skills that are *g*)

Two points:

1. Evolving inside the alien base while humans attack is sometimes near to impossible.
2. The error message telling me that I can not evolve due to wall/friend/foe blocking me is annoying. Is there anyway to disable it? (there is a cvar to turn off warnings but it does not seem to stop this annoying message)

Sorry for the offtopic-ness. Both questions burn my guts ;-)

1) Also somewhat of a balance thing. This is so humans, who cannot heal/change equipment unless they're at their base, can actually attack an alien base and have it be a bit more possible since it takes aliens a bit longer to go evolve.
2) If you have cg_disablewarningdialogs 1, those messages are just text. There's not a way to turn off the text, but there wouldn't really be a reason to, either. Don't hold down an evo bind to spam the server with commands if you don't want it to spam back at you. :p

[ACKMAN]

Ah... i know ...


-In g_welcomemsg you only can set 1 word... ¿WTH?
-!drug command is cool for jetcampers, but people use !explode and !customgrav too... can change flag?

[Bomb]

If you want to change the flags, get the patch/source/SVN/whatever and do it yourself. Easy. Just look at the top of g_admin.c.

[ACKMAN]

But they only upload the qvm U_u

Oh thanks

[Paradox]

ackman, g_welcomeMsg "Sentance this is long with spaces see"

You have to use quotes (" ")

As for deadspec, we cant seem to port it properly.

Thank you very much!

At one point warning dialogs were off, but it seems I forgot to put them into a .cfg

[ACKMAN]

I think change mara msg is stupid... :/

[Paradox]

Fine, we'll stick a cvar on the mara message.

g_maraFace

[ACKMAN]

so... like it XD


Ah:

-Can you add freefunds cvar?
-!denyupgrade i think is good for jetcampers or something

[Paradox]

freefunds is there, but in a smarter form, !credits.

As for !denyupgrade, no, we have denyweapon, but not upgrade.

[ACKMAN]

nono... it was an idea XD


note: freefunds is better ...

[Paradox]

if you want to let people get money whenever they want, turn on devmap, and turn off god and noclip.
