Question about 2_0_2 test fix

Installed this test version yesterday on 5 servers. When people started joining the various servers for practices/scrims, about 95% (including myself) started getting pb cvar warnings about cg_reticletype must be 1, not 0. I know this is set in the TWL cvar requirements, but have no idea why everyones cvar was being recorded as 0, as I know myself and the others have never changed this cvar. This warning wasnt appearing before. Thanks.

cg_reticletype in rtcw controls the crosshairs on the scoped weapon and binoculars. (eg if its 0 it removes it)

but -- cg_reticletype is not in the twl cvar requirements. in fact it is not in any of the etpro cfgs period.

not only that, ET doesnt even use the cvar.

i can only assume you copied a pb cfg from rtcw by mistake...

Actually, that cvar is set in match_etpro.cfg that is displayed in TWL's download files for ET.



pb_sv_cvar cg_reticleType IN 1

Straight from the cfg they displayed there.

its not in etpro nor is it in any of the etpro files in the distribution. iirc the file on the website they have is an old 'reference cfg' which has been obsoleted since etpro has the correct config hardcoded internally.

in any case it is not etpro doing this.
