g_start_weapon_laser 1 << not working in race?

[[-z-]]

g_start_weapon_laser

0 = never provide the weapon, 1 = always provide the weapon, -1 = game mode default


I have 'g_start_weapon_laser 1' on my Race server, but it doesn't spawn players with a laser. Is this a bug or a feature?

I tried setting it through rcon as well. nada.

it works fine for me set from the menu. for dedicated server try -1 or modifying the configs in the pk3.

Many race maps settemp g_start_weapon_laser 0 in their mapinfo. You cannot override that from your server config.

Wow, surprisingly more than I expected.

Code: Select all

$ for file in $(ls *.pk3); do unzip $file *.mapinfo; done
$ cd maps
$ grep "g_start_weapon_laser" *.mapinfo
cb_race1_v1r1.mapinfo:settemp_for_type all g_start_weapon_laser 0
cel_hell_v1r4.mapinfo:settemp_for_type all g_start_weapon_laser 0
dibrun.mapinfo:settemp_for_type all g_start_weapon_laser 0
dibrun2.mapinfo:settemp_for_type all g_start_weapon_laser 0
hagarrun.mapinfo:settemp_for_type all g_start_weapon_laser 0

the_turn.mapinfo:settemp_for_type all g_start_weapon_laser 0
vert_rc1.mapinfo:settemp_for_type all g_start_weapon_laser 0

I don't want to override the mapper's wishes, I just though the server was bugging.

Thanks for the tips.

Since we are on the subject.

I assume within a mapinfo anything g_ can be altered for that particular map? I want to set laser force to 150 rather than 400 for my assault map to make the laser useless for jumping, but still a usable weapon.

[Mizu Kitsune]

yes you can use mapinfo.cfg or map.qc to set individual settings for that particular map.

[Icarus]

you can put it in .mapinfo not in mapinfo.cfg. cfgs were deprecated iirc. ive never heard of map.qc either.

<bsp name>.mapinfo << is the proper name

[Mizu Kitsune]

yea. and i don't think nex allows/uses map.qc
