First of all, waypoint sprites. When connecting to the RBI servers, see signs where the bases are and where your OWN (not the enemy) flag carrier is and you get some aliases defined:
- Code: Select all
g_waypointsprite_personal Place a "waypoint" where you are. Only you can see it.
g_waypointsprite_personal_p """""""""""""""""""""""""""" point """""""""""""""""""
g_waypointsprite_personal_d """""""""""""""""""""""""""" died """"""""""""""""""""
g_waypointsprite_team_helpme Place a "help me" beacon above your head. Your team can see it.
g_waypointsprite_team_here Place a "here" where you are. Your team can see it.
g_waypointsprite_team_here_p """""""""""""""""""""""" point """"""""""""""""""""
g_waypointsprite_team_here_d """""""""""""""""""""""" died """""""""""""""""""""
g_waypointsprite_team_danger Place a "danger" where you are. Your team can see it.
g_waypointsprite_team_danger_p """""""""""""""""""""""""" point """"""""""""""""""""
g_waypointsprite_team_danger_d """""""""""""""""""""""""" died """""""""""""""""""""
g_waypointsprite_clear_personal Clear your personal waypoints.
g_waypointsprite_clear Clear all waypoints you set.
g_waypointsprite_toggle Toggle display of "RED BASE"/"BLUE BASE" waypoints for this match.
Bind those you need to keys.
You can permanently disable display of "RED BASE"/"BLUE BASE" by putting a line
- Code: Select all
set cl_hidewaypoints 1
in your autoexec.cfg. If you decide that you want to see them again, just hit the toggle key, and they will be on for the current match and disable again in the next one.
Second feature: customizable zoom. Many people use zoom aliases to get faster or stronger zoom. This is considered unfair on maps like facing worlds and especially sierpinski, but can't be helped in a Quake engine. To solve this problem by making stronger/faster zoom available to everyone, the next Nexuiz version will finally have zoom settings in the menu. You can already set them by putting
- Code: Select all
set cl_zoomfactor 5
set cl_zoomspeed 5
in your autoexec.cfg file.
Zoomfactor will be in the menu and have settings from 1.5x to 8x, zoomspeed probably won't be in the menu (we don't have any space left on the player settings pane). Oh, and setting cl_zoomspeed to -1 makes the zoom jump and not slowly zoom in. Current Nexuiz settings are similar to cl_zoomfactor 2.5 and cl_zoomspeed 3.5.
Oh, and note that these settings do not immediately take effect when issued on the console. You also need to send them to the server when you changed them on the console:
- Code: Select all
sendcvar cl_zoomfactor
sendcvar cl_zoomspeed
sendcvar cl_hidewaypoints
This will automatically happen at the beginning of each match, though.
Have fun and report bugs if you find them!
