Neeeeeed some major help wiht a Cvar command

[madskrillz]

When i join a game it gives me a message saying *warning* Cvar r_detailTextures (=1) must equal 0.

 

How do i change it to zero so i can play?

Before you connect to a server drop the console and type /r_detailTextures 0 and hit enter.

any cvar warning is quite easily dealt with while ingame :) in your particular case;

bring down console

type /r_detailTextures 0

press enter

your done

And after changing the cvar do /vid_restart. This enforces the new setting to be used.

ok here's the deal I put in the code just like you said and did everything....and it still gives me the message and keeps kicking me...what do i do now?

[alfdoh]

Umm .. what is the output when u just enter /r_detailTextures?

Do you by any chance have write-protected the file [mod]/profiles/your_name/etconfig.cfg with [mod] being the mod you play (e.g. noquarter, etpub, etpro, jaymod, ...).

 

Also, when exactly do you change the cvar and do vid_restart? Make sure you do it, when your are connected to the server or at least after disconnecting from that server (e.g. /disconnect).

well i enter /r_detailTextures 0, it does nothing.....but when i do /r_detailTextures = 0 it soemtiems works and soemtimes it does nothing?!?....and i have no idea wut ur talkin about wiht the file mod config..w/e

[alfdoh]

Just to make sure: you have to open the console before you enter those commands with the key right below Esc. The command to enter then is /r_detailTexture 0.

 

The mod configs .. check the folders where ur ET is installed. There u find folders like etmain, jaymod, etpub, etpro, whatever ... in each of them is a folder profiles .. in each profiles folder are folders named after your ingame name .. in each of those name folders is a file called etconfig.cfg .. right-click them and make sure the write-protection flag is not set.

Try the following method: it's bit complicated but worked for me to get rid of r_uifullscreen kicks 4eva (simmilar prob in rtcw)

 

preparations:

Search your ET gamefolder (include subdirs!) for *.cfg to check if r_detailTextures is set to 1 somewhere.

Remove write protection (if existing) and edit to "0"

 

remarks:

set r_detailTextures "0" (cfg) sets a value

seta r_detailTextures "0" (cfg) sets 'permanently'

resp.:

/seta r_detailTextures 0 (console) note where quotation marks are used/not used.

"The PB Method" :

- was adapted from Punkbuster Problems & Fixes (see end of post "Problem: "Warning Cvar r_uiFullscreen (=1) must be EQUAL TO 0"...)

• Create (or edit - add accordinly) a file pbcl.cfg in the subdirectory "pb" of your ET game folder, content:

  // 
  // pbcl.cfg -- goes to  ET-Folder/pb/pbcl.cfg 
  // 
  pb_autoexec pbgame.cfg

   

   

• Create (or edit) a file pbgame.cfg in the subdirectory "etmain" of your ET game folder, content:

  // 
  // pbgame.cfg -- goes to ET-Folder/etmain/pbgame.cfg 
  // 
  r_detailTextures "0" 
  seta r_detailTextures "0"  // not sure this line is needed - but it dont harm :)

   

   

• Edit or create autoexec.cfg in ET-Folder/etmain/ and add/edit the line

  seta r_detailTextures "0"

   

   

• Delete all r_detailTextures lines in all .cfg files in all ET subfolders, especially if there are any autoexec.cfg in existance yet.

If the problem stays, though i doubt it (already waistbelt plus suspenders) try the quick & dirty fix: create a shortcut to your ET.exe by right-Mouse-drag-n-drop [create shortcut here], edit shortcut by [ALT]+Enter and add +set r_detailTextures 0 and save changes [Ok].

Use the shortcut instead of ET.exe (on desktop, start-menu, game browsers etc.)

 

e.g.: ["C:\Program Files\RtCW_ET\ET.exe" +set r_detailTextures 0 ]
