Server side: no weapon spread pulse

(knippon) #1

I played on a server a while back that had the circle pulsing around the crosshair disabled. I asked and they told me it was done server side. I remember I was able to get this to work successfully in a single player game. Can anyone tell me how they were able to get this to work on their server?

This is the values I used to get this to work in a single player match. (although I have since tried it and it said that these values are read only).

//fix crosshair pulsing
g_playtestBalanceWeaponSpreadAngleMaxScale “0”
g_playtestBalanceWeaponSpreadAngleMinScale “0”
g_playtestBalanceWeaponRecoilRateScale “0”

Thanks in advance.

They probably added those cvar to the server config

its annoying those are read only.

These commands change the actual weapons spread / recoil, rather than disabling crosshair pulsing which is a side-effect.

This is why they’re read-only. They were purely used for internal-playtest balance tweaking.

than make more cvars for the pulsing, because it’s really annoying.
We already have one big annoying crosshair and with all that pulsing it makes it even worse.

So was I just imagining the server that didn’t pulse the weapon spread?

or is this something that got patched up?

Until the latest patch server admins could have used those cvars to change weapon behavior to their (or rather, their players) liking; why exactly did you remove them? No one was forced to use those cvars…

We don’t want people getting used to a weapon they like on one server, then have that weapon taken away (radically changed) when they join a different server.

That type of customization is something that should be reserved to mods, so people know what they’re getting into when they download/connect to servers running it.

Then give us the sdk like you guys promised,longer you guys take the more chance that this game will die off quicker than quakewars did.

the game needs sdk cause the original content is not enough for a online gamer.

So…are you going to let us make mods? SDK please.
