Help on a few things plz....

[_NeT_WalBanger]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but its a few different things and so....... well i put it here

1) What is the command to stop promotions apearing on your screen when ever you get promoted (set b_showpromotions 0???? <-----guess :p)

2) The banners on our server dont AUTO run
I had to type:-
/rcon password b_bannertime "30"
before they would start

the config is:-

Code: Select all

//SERVER MESSAGES
-----------------
b_banners 			"9"
b_bannerlocation 		"0"		// 0=Player chat area,1=Left popup area,2=Centerprint area(where, for example, the 'Arming dynamite...' message is displayed),3 - Console only,4=the very top of the screen)
b_bannertime 			"30"
set b_banner1 			"^3Spawnkilling ^9is ^3Allowed ^9on this server."
set b_banner2 			"^3Xp ^9is given for ^3DAMAGE ^9so ^1/kill ^9is allowed at all times"
set b_banner3 			"^3XP ^9is ^3SAVED ^9if you leave game."
set b_banner4 			"^3DOORBLOCKERS ^9may be ^3Kicked!"
set b_banner5 			"^9Visit us at ^3www.net-clan.com ^9or ^3#net-clan"
set b_banner6 			"^9Feel Free to Join our Ventrilo Server, go to Host Name/IP ^3voice.fps.net"
set b_banner7 			"^9We are ^3Recruiting ^9Members, if Intrested visit ^3www.net-clan.com ^9or ^3#net-clan"
set b_banner8 			"^3All ^9weapons are ^3ALLOWED ^9on theis server, They are part of the game so enjoy them"
set b_banner9 			"^3Whinners ^9 may be kicked as this is a server for ^3FUN!"

3) on a personal autoexec.cfg, how do you get rid of the player location in the chat window i.e:-

Code: Select all

net:walbanger! (west of somewhere you dont know): Help me!

becomes like old:-

Code: Select all

net:walbanger! : Help me!

(and from the fireteam box as well...... for now i got rid of this by limiting the length allowed to 0 , but whats the real commmand?)

Hmmmm sorry i figured out why the banners werent working, have to put set 1st :p (this is what i get for listening to some n0-0b ) ohh and correction on the above it didt work when i did "/rcon password b_bannertime "30"" it worked when i did all 3 commands



But i do have a question now related to that

How can you make the banner appear longer??? cause or slow readers like me i dont get half way through before its faded away

Thanks

Ummm, shouldn't you use the set command in your etpro config?

set b_banners "9"
set b_bannerlocation "0"

--Mortis

[mortis]

Here is a known working example:

set b_banners 2
set b_banner1 "-= Primer's ETpro - Linux64 =-"
set b_banner2 "Visit our forums at www.bsdterritory.com!"
set b_bannertime 300
set b_bannerlocation 8

--Mortis

Ya thanks for help.....

What about the other 2 things and "How can you make the banner appear longer??? cause or slow readers like me i dont get half way through before its faded away "

[Dersaidin]

set b_banners 2
set b_banner1 "-= Primer's ETpro - Linux64 =-"
set b_banner2 "Visit our forums at www.bsdterritory.com!"
set b_bannertime 300
set b_bannerlocation 8

There is the important settings, as was just shown.

Which of these do you think could have an effect on the TIME that banners are shown?

Seriously. <_<

set b_banners 2

set b_banner2 "Visit our forums at www.bsdterritory.com!"

Don't be fooled
b_bannertime is the time between the banners IIRC
NOT the time a banner lasts on screen.

[Dersaidin]

Crap.

[Locked_On]

Does b_popupTime, b_popupFadeTime, and b_popupStayTime (client side) have any affect on banners?

[Deus]

Does b_popupTime, b_popupFadeTime, and b_popupStayTime (client side) have any affect on banners?

they are for the small popupmessages, they do not affect the banners unless they are set to be placed in this certain area IIRC

Thanks guys, even Dersaidin

How about my other 2 points?

From the downloads page docs.

b_locationMode (default 1)
Controls location name behavior in the fireteam
0 = Disabled
1 = Location names
2 = Location coordinates
4 = Don't check PVS when finding nearest location name
8 = Don't fall back on coordinates when no location found (return "unknown")

Thanks guys, even Dersaidin

Comeon, theres:
b_popupStayTime
b_popupFadeTime
cg_brassTime
cg_markTime
cg_teamChatTime
b_watermarkfadeTime
g_userTimeLimit

All durations, not the time between things

And then:
b_bannerTime

Asif that isnt how long they stay

[mortis]

bani, white courtesy phone, bani, to the white courtesy phone....

maybe "b_bannertime" could be changed to being the duration, and "b_bannerintervaltime" could be the time in between messages in future etpro versions, if any?

You forgot:
g_redlimbotime
g_bluelimbotime
g_medicchargetime
g_soldierchargetime
g_ltchargetime
g_engineerchargetime
g_covertopschargetime

These are times between something...
Also, it seems illogical to change the behaviour of functions like cp just for banners...
