is there a cvar to turn this off . on too many occasiaons i have been killed because that waypoint sprite is in the way . hence not being able to see my threats . so how i can i turn it off?

Yeah you can turn them off via Multiplayer/Player Setup/Radar and Waypoints menu..
Or using the cl_hidewaypoints variable.. 0 = show all, 1 = hide the static (bases) and 2 = hide all. However i think they are too useful to disable them

i have that option turned off in the multi player menu . the flag carrier sprite is still there though . also i tried hide static and hide all . they reappear . i guess my client is broken somewhere http://pics.nexuizninjaz.com/viewer.php ... 8k2o3g.jpg and thats the huge yellow flagcarrier sprite i was talking about . i want it gone . really the only waypoints i care about are the binds like , need help here , or enemy seen .
t but FC sign has got to go . i have been nexed and killed so many times because i couldnt see the camper . the last thing i see is the nex bolt comming at me . gasoline powered is the worst because it is so linear so you are always seeing that yellow sign bouncing around . it wouldnt be so bad if it was small dot , but i preferr removed . please is there a way to edit the data zip to get it gone . or another cvar .

g_waypointsprite_scale 0.3 seems to do the trick well . it makes the FC sprite much smaller . whereas 0.1 makes it disappear completly . posted so anyone else who wants , can have a fix
