Disable gun?

[Raedwulf]

Is it possible to not draw the gun on screen?
e.g. cg_drawgun 0 in Quake3

I don't like seeing the gun when playing ^^. (this is with all FPS games)

[Strahlemann]

r_drawviewmodel 0

[tChr]

is that allowed in ladder matches?

[esteel]

It is however allowed to manipulate the config.cfg/autoexec.cfg for improvements according the FPS (frames per second) and the HUD.

Either you try to argument that it will gain FPS or its part of the hud

[Raedwulf]

One would assume that it does not visually give a significant advantage but it does have a placebo effect upon me.
Besides, consider all the quake3 based games and tournaments -> this is usually allowed with the exception of iron-sight based games. However Nexuiz has an crosshair, hence that is not a problem.

Thanks Nexuiz seems a lot better than I last played it, I might get into it now ^^. If you're lucky, I might even have a look at the source code and maybe contribute something...

[GreEn`mArine]

of course it is allowed in the ladder to set r_drawviewmodel to 0

[tChr]

of course it is allowed in the ladder to set r_drawviewmodel to 0

But its not allowed to replace the RL model, for instance? I find that a tad incoherent.

[divVerent]

Setting r_drawviewmodel is using an option that Nexuiz provides - replacing content is playing a different game.

IMHO the ladder should have a "white list" of content replacements that you are allowed to use, like the invisible gibs, or an alternate RL model.

Well one thing on that list should be a no-gibs pk3 files. Its the same as the cl_nogibs option but the option REALLY removes the gibs, they are not even on the demo then. It looks really ugly if you made a nice frag and want to put it in a demo and it has no gibs..
