Changing maps/campaigns?

[fkereki]

I just installed Nexuiz and played it; fine, great.

I then got nexmappack_r2.zip, unzipped it, moved the pk3 files to the data directory, started Nexuiz again, and though it told me it was doing something or other with the newly found maps, I still got only just one campaign/map to play!?

How do I get to use the other maps?

[Mirio]

u have to win the 1st level and then u get to level 2 etc. etc.

You could use the new maps to create a server with bots. That should do it too.

Ouch... but how do you win that? The "Downer" scenario description It says something about a "fraglimit" of 15; does it mean you must kill the bots 15 times each to win?

If you just want to look at the maps (no bots) just to explore them or practice moving around on them, then you can type

Code: Select all

maps

in the console to see your installed maps. If you add them to your data directory while Nexuiz is running, then type

Code: Select all

fs_rescan
maps


to update the list.

Then type

Code: Select all

map <mapname>


to start the map. You'll get a 5 minute timelimit by default, so type

Code: Select all

timelimit 30

to change it. If you want to play with all weapons or god mode (or other cheats) then type

Code: Select all

sv_cheats 1
restart


and then

Code: Select all

god (invincible)
impulse 99 (gives all weapons)
fly (allows you to fly around the map)


If you want the grappling hook on, then type

Code: Select all

g_grappling_hook 1
restart


and then press E to fire the hook.

yep 1 frag = 1 kill so get 15 frags before a bot gets 15

and Doku : after g_grappling_hook 1 you do not need restart ôO ^^

I've heard people say that before. In practice, however, I've had to restart in order for the grapple to take effect. A bug perhaps?

[Mirio]

well i typ "vcall g_grappling_hook 1" and it says "accepted" and then i can use the hook

No. Since 2.4 you DO need to restart after changing mutator cvars.

I rather think fkereki wants to play the mappack in the campaign.. it contains the needed campaign file but the new 2.4 Menu does not yet have the controls to change the campaign to the one of the mappack.
Without checking i think you can use g_campagin_name mappack to use the campaign from the mappack and just set it to "" to go back to the default one. I have however no idea how good the bot support is on those maps.
