Help in explaining some of the CVARS

Hi
Ive been quit recently making new server.cfg and i bumped into few cvars that i either dont understand or couldnt find any info about him. Could you help me out in here please?

// Resapwn time config
set g_useraxisrespawntime 0
set g_useralliedrespawntime 0
set g_spawntimeMinPlayers 0
Ive got them all set to “0” value but i dont get it. Does this cavar set ONE spawn time for all maps youve got with your campaigne despite the fact every map has its own spawn-time settings?

//Exclusive No Quarter CVARS
set g_simpleBullets 0
g_noAttacklInvul
Have no idea what is that : /

g_flushItems
//Description
//Allows dropped items to lay flush with the angle of the ground they are on. May cause //items to turn when they hit the ground.
//Parameters
Type: boolean
Default: 1
Hym…does this mean that if i drop the weapon on the hill then it will stay still? I mean, that it will not slide down from the hill.

team_maxIsPercentage (New since 1.2.7)
Indicate if the team_maxXXX cvar values are calculated as a percentage of the amount of players on the server. Example: When set to 1, and team_maxShotguns set to 20, while 10 players are on the server. A maximum of 20% of the players (per team) can use a shotgun, which results in 10 players / 100% * 20% = 2 players per team.

Well, i would like to ask You whatd YOU think of that…isnt this happen to be a cavar for time-limited servers ?

team_panzerRestrictionNo
Originally, this was put into my server.cfg file but i couldnt find any info about that.

There was one cavar for setting the supply stations (you know, with ammo and health). That is, setting how fast this packes should be replenished. I couldnt find such cavar. Do you know which one is that?

Looking forward to hear from you.

Best regards,

// Resapwn time config
set g_useraxisrespawntime 0
set g_useralliedrespawntime 0

Set spawntime for axis and allies for all maps, so value of 15 is 15 seconds respawn on all maps (using them in a mapconfig can make it map specific)
0 is disable

set g_spawntimeMinPlayers 0
Taken from NQ wiki: (NQ 1.2.7 specific cvar)
Sets the minimum number of players needed to have full (map default) spawntimes. If set to a value > 0, and there are fewer than “g_spawntimeMinPlayers” players playing, spawntimes get reduced automatically. When set to 10, only 10% of the original spawntime will be in effect with only 1 player on the server (2 players 20% and so fort).
Note: This CVAR has no effect when g_useralliedrespawntime and/or g_useraxisrespawntime are used

But I’ve heard that it’s a bit buggy

//Exclusive No Quarter CVARS
set g_simpleBullets 0

Enables or disables simple bullets. Simple bullets is a new method for handling bullets, designed to produce faster code.
Note: We may change the default in future versions. Give feedback in the forums of enabled g_simpleBullets 1.

still in testing stages (so they say)

g_noAttacklInvul

Removes a player’s spawn shield if they start to attack before it wears off

g_flushItems
//Description
//Allows dropped items to lay flush with the angle of the ground they are on. May cause //items to turn when they hit the ground.
//Parameters
Type: boolean
Default: 1
This means that med packs and guns etc act like normal (realism) when you drop a weapon on a 30 degree hill it will lay under an angle of 30 degrees. In stock ET they always are straight I think.

team_maxIsPercentage (New since 1.2.7)
Indicate if the team_maxXXX cvar values are calculated as a percentage of the amount of players on the server. Example: When set to 1, and team_maxShotguns set to 20, while 10 players are on the server. A maximum of 20% of the players (per team) can use a shotgun, which results in 10 players / 100% * 20% = 2 players per team.

This would be if your server varies from 4v4 to 10v10 then you might want different settings for the two cases.

team_panzerRestrictionNo
the cvar is team_panzerRestriction
description:
Enables an X amount of panzers (or bazookas), based on a given percentage weighed against the amount of players on the server. If set to 10(%) on a 20 player slot server, up to 2 panzers per team max. are enabled. If the threshold is undershot during gameplay, the panzer is dropped and the player is forced to use his secondary weapon

There was one cavar for setting the supply stations (you know, with ammo and health). That is, setting how fast this packes should be replenished. I couldnt find such cavar. Do you know which one is that?

g_healthCabinetTime
g_ammoCabinetTime
The amount of time, in milliseconds seconds, that it takes for the ammo/health pack stand to recharge one pack
default ammo value 60000
default health value 10000

Most of this information can eaily be found in the NQ wiki
http://www.shitstorm.org/noquarter/wiki/index.php?title=No_Quarter_Mod
use the search function

I’d advise not to use the percentage stuff, like so much percent of people needed for panzers etc… Since it’s quite an annoying setting imo. Suddenly you just loose your panzer stuff like that kinda annoying.

Thank you for your feedback stealth6.

I came across yet another sets i dont get:

jp_insanity
32 Guided Rockets
64 Homing Rockets
What is that guided rockets and homing rockets?

g_antiWarp
This cvar in cofusing. Should i leave it?

g_skills
1 Flak Jacket carries over
What is that flak jacker about?

g_landminetimeout
What is that for?

Guided Rockets, you can steer the rockets by the direction you are looking at.
Fun: slow rocket - about walking speed… and walk your rockets

Homing Rockets, The rocket does follow its target

g_antiwarp , better leave it

Engineering Level 4: Issued Flak Jacket
Only the most expert Engineers who have proven their ability to survive on the battlefield are issued with these expensive Flak Jackets which provides the player with 50% damage deflection from explosive weapons.

g_landminetimeout - dunno probably removes landmines of a not active player -e.g. disconnected/spec.

Thank you for your feedback…
Hym, i used to play at one server where you could make complaint after sb tked you. I looked through the wiki but havnt found it…After the tk you get vote message of either to make complain or not. And after such, lets say 6, complaints this guy is kicked from server. Do you know which one is that?

// g_complaintlimit [integer]
// A player will be kicked after this number of complaints. (A complaint occurrs
// when friendly fire is on, and a player kills a teammate. The killed teammate
// has a chance to file a complaint after the team kill)
// [Default: 6]
set g_complaintlimit 6

// g_disableComplaints [0|1]
// If enabled, team-killed players cannot file complaints against the teammate
// that killed them
// [Default: 0]
set g_disableComplaints 0

// g_friendlyFire [0|1]
// If enabled, players can shoot/harm their teammates.
// [Default: 1]
set g_friendlyFire 1

OK, thanks again alimanki.

I have one another cavar. I looked through the cavars mentioned on shitstorm but either i didnt find it or i wasnt able to understand i proprely.

I mean such cavar that let you pick up every weapon whatever the class you are. For egzample that you can pick garand while being Medic.

Kind regards,
Eight

must be something like g_insane … but im not sure
… cant take a look at my server-config at the moment

http://shitstorm.org/noquarter/wiki/index.php?title=Gameplay_CVARs#jp_insanity_.28Changed_in_1.2.7.29

jp_insanity 128
I would enable venom aswell (256)
mortar cam (4)
hp left msg (1024)

128 + 256 + 4 + 1024 = 1412
jp_insanity 1412

no problem, maybe check that page of the wiki: http://shitstorm.org/noquarter/wiki/index.php?title=Additions_%26_Features
gives some kind of overview…

OK i got it:)
Thank you again.

Can you tell me what are the current “stages” for g_medics and g_adrenaline? I can see ****storm website being off-line and apart from them You are most reliable in ET infos.

Eight

Ok i wont answer then

Type in google the site that you want, and click ‘in chache’

That works for me.:stroggtapir:

Does anybody know what happened to ****storm.org? I hope it’s just a temporary downtime due to mainentance or sth like that, does somebody know anything about it?

I bet this also works with forums, huh?

Yes. I think they are updating there forums to latest version of phpBB to fix the spam bot issues they where having since last couple of days.

use nqhelp in the game console. only works in version 1.2.9+

example:

]/nqhelp g_medics
--------------------------------------------
g_medics
Medic bitflags:
Bit 0 (Value 1):     Medics can't pick up their own med packs to heal poisoning.
Bit 1 (Value 2):     Medics can't pick up their own med packs at all.
Bit 2 (Value 4):     Medics regenerate at 2/1 instead of 3/2.
Bit 3 (Value 8):     Medics regenerate at 1/0 instead of 1/0.
Bit 4 (Value 16):    Medics can't get akimbos.
Bit 5 (Value 32):    Medics can't carry SMG, nor pick one up.
Bit 6 (Value 64):    Alternative to tk/revive for medics.
Bit 7 (Value 128):   Medics get 12% extra HP.
Bit 8 (Value 256):   More Medics in a team do NOT make the team get higher maxHP.
Bit 9 (Value 512):   Medics do not at all regenerate.
Bit 10 (Value 1024): Medics get HP if (non-medic)teammates pickup their healthpack(s).
Bit 11 (Value 2048): The maxHP of all players is independent of # medics in a team, all players have the 25 extra HP.
Bit 12 (Value 4096): Fast medic resuscitationing.
Default value: "65"
--------------------------------------------

I’ve heard this works perfectly but some admins still set g_useralliedrespawntime and/or g_useraxisrespawntime.

As crapshoot mentioned there is a build-in help for admins which is quite comfortable. Check out g_antiwarp 2 with latest NQ - in case of snapshot issues (green part of lagometer) the correction is much faster.

hehe well back in 1.2.7 a friend of mine was trying that spawntime cmd and it was doing all sorts of stuff
anyway I guess it works now then

The nqhelp cmd is fantastic! I’ve been using it this evening and it makes life ALOT easier!
