need help cod5 cfg

CSA · 8 Dec 2008 at 09:30

Hi there , by default fullscreen is set to yes in cod waw , you can change this by editing the line:

seta r_fullscreen "1" to seta r_fullscreen "0"

but to do this you need to close the game and edit the cfg

is there a way to bind buttons so while im playing i can press a button to go from fullscreen to half screen (to use admin rcon) then back to full screen ?

see if i simply use alt-tab or ctr-alt-del my game crashes,then i thought about the binds ppl use for FOV 80 and wondered if it would work for changing screen size ?

it will make admining my server a lot easier

can any one shed any light on how to do this ?

Why not just create a custom desktop shortcut. You will have to drop down console and type reconnect in as it wont allow you to join like in cod4 but it does still work.

I always use one which logs me into rcon + private slot never had a prob.... As for rcon commands, i just type them straight into console.

it doesnt work for me that , it just gives me a "no or bad address" error

haha yup now it works silly me didnt read that part

well unfortunately ive still got a problem, my rcon commands wont work , i know im using the correct pass word but nothing happens

if i open console using tilde key

then type

rcon login mypass

nothing happens, maybe the login process has changed with cod waw ?

well i was trying rcon map_restart and nothing was happening

ive followed the above intructions to the letter so,as you say really i should be logged in but the commands wont work lol

I'll try that say command now

edit: ah it does work lol, its just the map_restart thats not working

how do i find the player id numbers so i can kick by id rather than typing the name out ?

thanks for the help btw , very much appreciated

thanks V R , yeah i already use rcontool 10 but have trouble minimizing the screen to use it coz my game crashes or it disconnects me from the server, i often use the laptop to connect to it while i play but the wifes been hoggin that lately to do the xmas shopping lol

Thanks for all the info so far guys its been very helpfull indeed

ive go my rcon commands pretty much sorted now, but can i ask how i can use binded messages in console mode ?

let me explain....

you can bind you own messages cant u in cfg_mp

summat like:

bind 7 "Say_Team use rcon plane plz !"

But if i wanted to open console then paste a message in from my pre-written binds how would i do that ? ,ive already tried just pressing the button but obvioulsy theres a different command for that

it all comes down to autobalance being broken on our SnD server, i have auto messages spamming messages to keep the teams even but obviously some players cant read, i joined the other night to find 26v6 lol

i want to spam something like:

bind F1 "say ^1FIX TEAMS PLZ ! OR PPL START GETTING KICKED UNTIL THEY ARE EVEN !"

but doing it throught console, obvioulsy i dont want to type this out every time because im lazy

any way of doing that through console ?
