Replacing weapons using mapinfo

[Dokujisan]

I found some information about this before, but it was incomplete information.

For maps that have the new weapons in them, I would like to replace the new weapons with traditional weapons. Can I get complete information on doing this?

the magic cvars are in g_weaponreplace_*. You may set these globally in your server.cfg, or modify the mapinfo for it to be map specific. Adding multiple arguments will randomly pick one from the list.

Example:
g_weaponreplace_electro "crylink electro electro"
g_weaponreplace_crylink "crylink crylink electro"

As you might expect, this changes the spawnpoints 1/3rd of the time to the other weapon.

thank you

what are the official names of the weapons for those cvars?

[Dokujisan]

I think this is the reason I didn't figure it out before. The examples given were the easy weapon names I could guess some of them, but not all of them, and not the new weapons.

What about that new fireball weapon?

You can have more control over individual weapon items using a .ent file, too.
Just run the map, dump a .ent file using sv_saveentfile, and edit it (it appears in ~/.nexuiz/data/maps/ or ~/.nexuiz/data/data/maps, I forgot which...). It then just needs to be placed in your new pk3 revision alongside the bsp

The syntax is pretty intuitive...

cool, thanks.
