I was messing around in the console and killed my HUD. (health, armor, ammo...) How do I get it back?

And I was trying to 'code' a quick-zoom that wouldn't take so long to get there like the default zoom, but my frame rate gets halved because the scr_zoomwindow creates two displays. Any tips for an instant zoom without performance loss?

You've probably changed the viewsize cvar. Default it's set to 110 afaik, and you've set it to 120. Change it back to 110 and you get your HUD back

Yeah, you can make a zoom script. Here is something I did. Put this in autoexec.cfg (create the file if you don't have it)

Code: Select all

// zoom script
set fov_orginal $fov
set fov_zoomvalue 50
set fov_sensorginal $sensitivity
set fov_sens 1.2
alias "+fov_zoom" "fov $fov_zoomvalue ; sensitivity $fov_sens"
alias "-fov_zoom" "fov $fov_orginal ; sensitivity $fov_sensorginal"

alias zoom_toggle "zoom_on"
alias zoom_on "fov $fov_zoomvalue ; sensitivity $fov_sens ; alias zoom_toggle zoom_off"
alias zoom_off "fov $fov_orginal ; sensitivity $fov_sensorginal ; alias zoom_toggle zoom_on"

bind mouse3 "+fov_zoom" // zoom while pressing
bind x "zoom_toggle" // zoom toggle

You can change the binds for '+fov_zoom' and 'zoom_toggle'.
+fov_zoom = zoom while pressing.
zoom_toggle = zoom toggle.
You can change the zoom strength with 'set fov_zoomvalue' and change the zoom mouse sensitivity with 'set fov_sens'.

Yup, it was at 120. Thanks. I'll try out the zoom, too.

also quick-changable by hitting - or = on the main section of your keyboard (pretty standard for most Quake engine games)

Well, you'll have to be a bit more specific with me. How do I create this CFG file (just a TXT file with a different extension?) and what folder do I put it in?

Willis, I think I killed that as well because I used the unbind command on those keys.

Viewsize is also some were in the Options/Player menu but one first have to know that this thing does. I'm however very sure that 100 is the default.. Hud borders with numbers while 110 is just the numbers.

Yes you just need to create text file and change its extension. I guess you use windows so the right directory is Nexuiz/data there you will also find the normal config file config.cfg.
