wtf? srsly. (is there a default "speed up" bind)

[HarryButt]

I was playing around with some teambinds. All binds were working. Except "I'm attacking.", which I bound to Numpad9.
And now look, what happened on this one.
Gameplay was sped up and laggy at the same time. With laggy I mean, that I couldn't move correctly. It was a little like in my old 56k days. On Speed.
It seems like this effect is caused by the Numpad8 and Numpad9 keys only. Dunno what the binds are called officially in Nex, since this new Mac-Keyboard doesn't have a PageUp and stuff writing on its Numpad.
I'm using Nexuiz 2.4.2, the full package. I deleted my old folder and even my old config before applying the new version. Can't say, if this would happen on old versions too, since I was too lazy to find out about teambinds until they got into the menu with 2.4.2.

A good while back i posted some 'video' binds that used the numpad and num_9 was slowmo 10 (to fastforward a demo).. could it be this bind is still there in your autoexec.cfg and is used instead of the team bind? I think actually there are two binds for the numpad keys.. like KP_9 and KP_PAGEUP but i'm not sure right now without searching some code. On PC you have this 'NUM" key to toggle between the numbers and the cursor keys on the numpad. Does your problem change when activating this toggle key?

Now that's really weird.
I had your autoexec disabled for playing purpose. Still, after looking up your binds, they're now in my config.cfg. How could they get there? I thought, autoexec and config are completely independent and can't write into each other.
At least now I know, that it's not a bug.
Mac has no Num-key afaik. :S

Not quite.. autoexec.cfg IS only READ by Nexuiz at startup and is never changed.. but when Nexuiz is closed the CURRENT config is written into config.cfg which includes stuff it might have read from autoexec.cfg or that you changed in the meantime via console, menu or other config files..

[C.Brutail]

autoexec.cfg is "write protected" by default: the game only writes in it, if you give it the command to do so (is it writecfg?). config.cfg is saved EVERY TIME you quit the game. So yif esteel's autoexec.cfg is execed on your startup, but you quit, all of it's content will be copied into your config.cfg (if you don't exec your other cfg first).
To prevent these config hassle, I've written my own cfg's for different purposes, and my desktop icons exev them on startup (eg, I have a different config for editing, video recording, regular playing etc.)

esteel... fast as steel

[HarryButt]

That was useful information I'm gonna have to find a way to avoid this problem. Multiple autoexecs should do it.

[esteel]

Well there really is only one autoexec.cfg but you can do it similar to Cube or me:
I have several configs and i have a .sh or for windows .bat file that does start Nexuiz and makes it load those config files.

Code: Select all

#! /bin/sh

cd "`dirname \"$0\"`"
exec ./nexuiz-linux-sdl.sh "+exec n.cfg; exec n_mi.cfg; exec n_lo.cfg" "$@"

Code: Select all

@ echo off

%~d0
cd "%~p0"
.\nexuiz-sdl.exe -mygames "+exec n.cfg; exec n_wn.cfg; exec n_mi.cfg; exec n_lo.cfg" %*

n.cfg contains my usual binds, mouse settings and stuff i just need to 'enable' myself to play.. n_wn.cfg contains windows related settings like mouse sensitivity, n_lo.cfg is similar to low.cfg from Nexuiz itself and disables many graphic features to have a clear view when playing and n_mi.cfg contains misc stuff like aliases, those video binds, enables demo autorecording and so on..

Looks like you changed slowmo cvar w/o knowing
