turning grass off in slaves

i have a master and a slave
when my slave connects up to the master (master running radar)
clients on the slave and see the grass on radar
i was wondering how you could turn off grass on the server side of slave
so clients dont see the grass when they are viewing
cuz ive noticed that euro ETTV servers have grass off for viewers but ive never figured that out

hmm, did you try
forcecvar r_drawfoliage 0
on the slave server?

Or sv_cvar better.

iirc, forcecvar is what is needed here as sv_cvar is for enforcement, forcecvar also changes server side (which is what is required) and it is protected which sv_cvars don't have the authority to change

well for the slave i have a mapdefault.cfg
with the forcecvar r_drawfoliage 0 but if i connect to the slave thats connected to the master
grass is still on even tho r_drawfoliage is 0
so i have no idea why it doesnt enforce it on the slave

As far as I can tell, the slave servers act as mere pass-throughs of the settings that are in effect on the master. Hence, the local config of the slave has no effect on cvar enforcement.

but apperently forcecvar isn't passed on, since even when the actual game is being played on a config that forces foliage off, the tv specs still see it.

Ahhh. Yes, you're right; I just checked. On the other hand, sv_cheats appears to default to 1 on an ETTV broadcast slave, so a viewer could just enter \r_drawfoliage 0 to remove the grass (just checked this as well and it worked). That is, if the admin didn't explicitly set sv_cheats to 0 on the ETTV server command line.

sv_cheats shouldnt default to 1 on a slave
forcecvar isnt propagated down, but sv_cvar is (which is silly, and is on the list to be fixed).

i actually think having cheats enabled on a slave is a good thing, it would allwo you to do things (such as show normals) and other things to see how well he plays (and gather other information)
