Environmental Variables...

2/3Soul · Post by **2/3Soul** » Wed Feb 16, 2005 4:05 pm

If I use the environmental settings for rain (as per Radar's settings):

/setcs 44 "T=RAIN,B=5 10,C=0.5,G=0.5 2,BV=50 50,GV=200 200,W=1 2,D=2000"

I can add rain dynamically to the currently playing map. However, upon reset of the map, the settings are lost, and have to be re-entered.

Is there any way of automating the setting so that the environmental condition is automatically activated for a particular map upon load???

Cheers

in a file called: mapdefault.cfg
add that line, then any map that doesn't have a current mapdefault_<map_name>.cfg file will have rain

Cheers dude... nice and simple heh

if i was thinking straight I could probably have realised that myself

Seeing as I only want the environmental variable to apply for one map, I'll put it in the specific map cfg file.... ie:

mapdefault_<mapname>.cfg

Thanks for the help.

Why would you want to ADD rain? I mean, most good players turn they're atmosphericeffects off, anyway. Heh.

I already played with it (rain and snow on oasis) some weeks ago. Unfortunatly, many people have their atmospheric effects disabled.

So be sure to add forcecvar cg_atmosphereffects 1 (bet this is wrong spelled) to your config

sv_cvar cg_atmosphericeffects eq 1
would be better

cg_atmosphericeffects
but a forcecvar will just set the cvar once, and people who don't like it will disable it again.

Yeah, right. sv_cvar is much more efficent.

if you just want them to see that you have it on (i'm thinking of adding rain inside the underground area in railgun) forcecvar it... if you want to force them to keep it on, sv_cvar it

Good luck adding rain inside using existing map materials. You'd at least need a new tracemap.
