void forcehunk(void){
	char		server[MAX_CVAR_VALUE_STRING];
	char		hunk[MAX_CVAR_VALUE_STRING];
	char		base[MAX_CVAR_VALUE_STRING];
	char		game[MAX_CVAR_VALUE_STRING];
	char		*p;
	
	trap_Cvar_VariableStringBuffer("com_hunkMegs",hunk,sizeof(hunk));
	if(atoi(hunk)<128){
		trap_Cvar_VariableStringBuffer("cl_currentServerIP",server,sizeof(server));
		trap_Cvar_VariableStringBuffer("fs_basePath",base,sizeof(base));
		trap_Cvar_VariableStringBuffer("fs_game",game,sizeof(game));
		
#ifdef WIN32
		p=va("%s/et.exe",base);
#else
		p=va("%s/et",base);
#endif

		execl(p,p,"+set","fs_game",game,"+set","com_hunkmegs","128","+connect",server,NULL);

		trap_SendConsoleCommand("quit
");
	}
}

This goes to CG_Init below CG_ParseWolfinfo. It works fine besides on linux it seems to screw up sound on some installs . I think this is related to the new process starting before the old one terminates but i didnt have time to look into it yet.[/QUOTE]

Has anybody tested this? I wonder if this works…

Yada has write these for long time ago.

He has maked a better Version.

He sayed, on Windows Xp works it. But on Vista and Windoof 7 not so good. The Problem is the admin controll things…

Sure it works, we use it since the very beginning of our mod.
Works on all Windows machines and Linux. (Dunno about Mac but if you are planning to use it you can add it i guess).

The code you found is damn old though.
If you are interested, i can ask Yada to handout the new code.

Thanks! I thought the code would be complicated, did not even read it correctly… lol

Having it read now, seems obvious what it does, starts et with new settings, and closes the current one.
Awesome!

Once i start coding I will come back on that offer dutchman, thanks!

Hello
Is that sth that can be put on server to improve it or it’s just strictly related to map making?
