Game Variables And Build Speed

CybaWolf · March 2004

2 things -

Firstly -

Are there variables / arguments that I can use in communication messages that will state my loaction?
For example - I want to bind the H key to say (with voice) I need Health and at the same time, type the team message "Commander - I need health at <insert variable here>". I have got as far as -

bind "h" "impulse 10;say_team Commander - I need health !!"

Secondly -

The time it takes to build structures (alien and marine) and to perform alien upgrades is much quicker on my listen server than on the online servers I play on. What server variables / cvars do I need to set to change the time it takes to build stuff ?

Thanks in advance

When you send a message, if you are in a location, it will automatically be added with your text to the left of your message. Example would look like:

NSPlayer (West Skylights): hi

And about the build speeds, I am unaware of any possible way to change these other than setting the sv_cheats cvar to 1. Then all structures will be fully built in (I believe) 2 seconds. Other than that, there is no way to my knowledge to change build speeds. This also applies to evolution/upgrade/recycle times.

Thanks.

Will look into the stating location thing, but from experience, it don't seem to work by default.

having sv_cheats set to 1 did indeed make everything build quickly and setting it to 0 made build times work 'normally'

I have set sv_cheats to 0 in numerous places -

sv_cheats "0" in my userconfig.cfg
sv_cheats 0 in my autoexec.cfg
sv_cheats 0 in my listenserver.cfg

But in my listenserver (launch NS and Create Server), sv_cheats randomly keeps coming back to 1.

Where is the correct place to set sv_cheats to 0, so that when I Create a listen server, it sets it properly ?

Thanks

Thanks, but it's a listenserver, so it uses listenserver.cfg (apparently). None the less, I have set sv_cheats 0 in BOTH server.cfg AND listenserver.cfg.

I have continued this problem in another thread I started a while back at <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=66477' target='_blank'>here.</a> This has more details on everything I've tried.

When you start up the server, check the little server config window in steam. There's a checkbox that say "Enable cheats", make sure you don't have it set to 1 =)

Oh, and for insta-build of buildings: bigdig

sv_cheats has to be on for bigdig to work I think

Are you running NS with a '-dev'?

LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel SO stupid !!!!

I checked the settings under Create Server and guess what ?!?!!? Enable Cheats was selected !!

Sorry for the mess and thanks for the help.
