I’ve been trying to disable the PanzerFaust on my server, I’ve tried setting:
set team_maxpanzers 0
in my server cfg file but this does not seem to have any effect and the games are still degenerating into panzerfests. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to disable panzerfausts without installing a mod? If so how do I do it?
Dr Doom
Make sure you’ve started an ETPro server, the following should work
set team_maxPanzers 0
I wouldn’t start a server without ETPro since its just like ETMain but with lots of bugs fixed, and some other interesting feature’s.
Thanks for the hint, whats the difference between set & seta again when you are editing cfg files?
I thought team_maxPanzers was a carry over from RTCW/OSP and therefore worked in etmain? If not, it certainly does in ETPro.
There’s no difference between set and seta in ET (unlike RTCW and other Quake3 based games, in which there was).
Thanks for the info, I take it ETPro is a server side only mod? I’ve installed it and I think I’ve got it running and team_maxpanzers = 0 but I can still select & use a panzer in game :’(
Is there any way I can check on a dedicated server if the mod is actually running?
DrDoom, ETPro is also client-side, although I believe it can be used as a server-side mod only (though it has such huge benefits I don’t know why you’d want to), however I’m pretty sure team_maxPanzers works without ETPro, so suspect your problem is elsewhere.
There should be a etconfig.cfg file somewhere on your server, usually in whatever fs_homepath has been specified on the command line when the server was started (or in etmain if not, presumably). Try locating this file and deleting it, then restarting your server. I think the command is OK, but it’s not taking effect for some reason.
The only reason I want to use ETPro server side only is to stop the rest of the people that work here having to install more new stuff to get the new features they don’t want. They just want the panzer reduced/removed. Will try getting rid of etconfig.cfg and see what happens.
Shrub is a serverside mod and you don’t have to use any of the other features if you don’t want
g_panzerfaust 0
Ok tried removing the etconfig.cfg and still no joy. When I type “team_maxPanzers” on the server console it echos back ““team_maxPanzers” is:“0” default:”-1"" could it be that default value thats causing the problem? How do I override that?
Why dont you just do team_maxpanzers 1? 1 panzer per team couldnt do much harm.
I tried that, it was ment to be set to 1 yesterday but we still had about 3-4 players a side running about with panzers at one point. Will give it a go and see if it works this time now I have deleted the old etconfig.cfg.
i mean that it doens’t work when you try to limit the the panzer to none
i even tried setting it directly from the shortcut
+set dedicated 2 +set team_maxpanzer 0
but still no luck in turning off panzers
“team_maxPanzers” does not work in ETMain.
It is a holdover from OSP, that never actually made it in.
Well that would explain it then!! :bash:
So DrDoom, you need Shrub or ETPro. Shrub is server-side only, ETPro is server and client-side. Shrub attracts noobs like insects around smelly stuff, ETPro is for the more “serious” gamer. 
Now that digibob’s answered the question, can we have a Shrub -v- ETPro flame war please. My usual haunt, the www.rtcw.co.uk forum, is down and I’m getting withdrawal symptoms.
ETPro > Shrub
America > UK
Im J/k, j/k, don’t need another flame war here, it was just a joke!
