Any way past the MX_CVARS error at all?

DarkangelUK · 2004-03-30 18:42:49 UTC

k, got my movie.cfg sorted into lots of little cfg’s that get execed from the main cfg, the shortcut works fine… it loads ET with ETPro, execs the cfg’s and goes into the proper video mode with all the binds in place. But anytime i play a demo or try and enter an offline game, i get the max_cvars error If there’s no way round this then my cfg has been one big bloody waste of time. It all worked on RTCW and i didnt even have to seperate the scripts, they were all in one cfg. Im a bit miffed i am >:E

Nein. best thing to do is split the config up into different configs. I had the same bitch of a problem with my Q3F cfgs, they were huge
And try and cut down the configs a bit. some configs dont work on a non-dedicated server. Like my q3f configs, i would do /devmap q3f_forts and exec c-hubb and it would crash
but on an online server it wouldnt! And the max cvars is built into the engine iirc :o

As i said, i split it all up. The largest cfg is 4k. It’s for making movies from demos with built in EDV controls… can’t really use it online. Gay tbh

well…

I remeber i used to use the old “spawntimer config” for RTCW… (the one where u see enemy spawn, and press the two last digits in the current maptime, some might know it)…

Well, fundamentally , its a LOT of vars, being set to predefine two hit combo on keypad… that script is total waste of cvar slots… i rewrote the whole thing to be exec based… meaning… instead of using 200 variables on the thing…i use… well almost none…

I would guess u use some camera angle scripts and such… i bet u can cut them down… by reusing some vars…, anyways pm me, if u really like a solution to it… i could take a look if u want

For the Spawn Timer use Heron.Net from Clan Booze (www.xfire.be).

Only stuff I need for demos is:

// default: 0   valid values: 0 = disable, 1 = visible players only, 2 = all players, 4 = adds clientnum 
set b_demo_nametags 1  

// b_demo_dynamitecounter - floats a counter above armed dynamite, works only in demo playback 
// default: 0 
set b_demo_dynamitecounter 1 

// b_demo_panzercam, b_demo_mortarcam, b_demo_dynamitecam

note: heron is not allowed by CB (unless they changed it)

Parsing things INTO ET by a proggy is not allowed by CB rules…

(same goes for the MSN-2-ET application)

…again i only mentioned the classic spawntimer…as an exmaple how to waste about 200 var slots…when u can do it…by using…none

I am sorry to revive this post, but, since I’m having a problem with my max_cvars, I guess I had no other choice but to, hÃ©?

Well, it’s kinda something like this:
I’ve just made a spawnscript to be able and time the spawntime of the enemy (ie: press 2 buttons on your keypad, and it will give you the time) . But, I think I have exceeded the 200 limit for the cvars. Is there anyone who made a spawntimer that can take a look at mine and tell me what’s wrong with it, please?
