Same problem here. Our medics can use abilities that they dont have unlocked. Here is the server config:

[…]

Advice would be nice :P[/QUOTE]

Still no update? I am the medic he is referring to. Probably a more detailed version of what happened could be of help? Let’s try it.

I reinstalled the game, this time the english version, and deleted the userdata as well, so I had to create a new character, which I did. Funnily enough, even at level 12 (let’s just take this as an example) I had abilities like the Lazarus Grenade when joining our server hosted by a third party provider (DawN-server.de). I can also use Speed Boost, which I didn’t even skilled on that point. Same thing when switching to soldier for example, I can throw flashbangs although I didn’t even spend a single point into the soldier abilities.

–> :rolleyes:

That’s only the case on that specific server, as soon as I join a different one or play solo campaign, I have the abilities I spent points on. Furthermore, I experimented a bit with the g_abilitiesMedic command. When I included g_abilitiesMedic “”, then I could not use any medic ability, is that correct? If yes, what’s the command to enable ALL medic abilities?

Because simply removing that command line from the config didn’t result in any change for me!!! I still didn’t have any abilities as medic anymore. So I just copied some abilities from another source and inserted the g_abilitiesMedic “blablabla” into the config and have the old - and wrong - abilities again. Lazarus Grenade at level 1, I ask you?!

I even deleted ALL userdata again, didn’t change anything, so it should be a server issue. Would reinstall the server help in my case?

PLEASE answer.

i think g_abilitesGlobal"" disabled all global abilites. Bought or not. its off.
the question must be: Which command for the haveing abilties?

Problem is, some abilities are enabled for people who shouldn’t be able to use them, like Lazarus Grenade for Level 1 chars, come on. That’s nothing you can solve via a cfg :confused: Normally you should have all abilities you trained, the CVARs are only there for restricting usage of some abilities.

Anyways, even completely de- and re-installing the server by the third party provider didn’t solve the issue, it’s still there. Dunno if iit’s specifically IP related or not, but I bet Steam has something to do with that.

If you wanna look for yourself, here is the IP: 84.200.45.169:27015 (I asked them to change the IP but it was late already and they probably didn’t change it yet, so give it a try!) If you can join you will probably see that even if you didn’t have any medic ability, you will be able to use Metabolism, Speed Boost and Lazarus Grenade, nothing else (it’s three already :D) and it doesn’t matter which level you have. Create a new char and join, you will see.

Hey,

can you try this?

Thanks, but as I already said

  1. it’s a third party provider so I can’t look for that file personally and
  2. the dedicated server was completely and entirely deinstalled and reinstalled, so that file has been deleted as well. Problem still exists. Could you please connect to the IP I posted above and look if you have the same issues on that server? Just create a new Char and look which abilities you have.

wait for the linux server :wink:


(Trivve) #11

Qbix,

I connected to your server (84.200.45.169:27015) and it was perfectly fine. No unlocked abilities.

If you don’t have access to brinkdedconfig.cfg, try this:


// Let players choose their own abilities
g_abilitiesGlobal ""
g_abilitiesSoldier ""
g_abilitiesEngineer "
g_abilitiesMedic ""
g_abilitiesOperative ""

This does not disable abilities by any means - it’s to set default behavior.


(Qbix) #12

Yeah, I know that everything is fine now :slight_smile: Because the admin updated the server in the meantime. Seems to be a version problem. Wiessi, try to update the server to the newest version, it doesn’t work automatically always. Problem solved for us :slight_smile:

Just FYI, the g_abilities stuff didn’t work before, we tried that, inserting g_abilitiesMedic “” took ALL medic abilities AWAY. But that’s solved now.


(Wiessi) #13

thank you very much. it works!!!
