The QUAKE LIVE Console Guide

the way you did cg_itemfx is technically "wrong" because theres only 3 numbers to be added together. you dont explain every number in dmflags, do you? i just dont like how its done.

I tend to agree, it's more concise and elegant to indicate just the meanings of the flags. In the wiki there will be a separate page explaining what binary flags are, because it's no rocket science and it's used for some cvars.

My question: why the hell 0.xxf??? Why this "f"??????? lol

I hope i helped

Yes you did, thx

(the f is for float and basically it means that it's useless to indicate too many digits after the decimal point)

yeah exactly. having an explanation of each number (2, 4, 8, 16, 32 etc.) for dmflags and cg_nomip and all the other cvars that use binary whatever would be much better than doing all the math in the description for the cvar.

This had be done for dmflags so I'll use it as a starting point for a generalized explanation.

Hey MuffinMan, I updated my config analyzer with the new cvars. Good job!

I just noticed your wiki, MuffinMan. Would you mind if I helped out some with it? I could fill in some descriptions for some of the items, and provide descriptions of some of the maps, including trivia.

1)About the "follow" cvar, the explanation isnt right.

When you put a number after de "follow", the spectator will follow the player with that id number (seen with the command "players"), and not the leader, second, etc...

2) There is a cg_AtmosphericEffects [0|1] cvar thats missing in the guide. (I think its values are 0 and 1 - cause the advanced options menu just show: turn on/off those effects, and the reason asks "what the hell more it could do?") =D

3)And, also, the cvar g_forceAtmosphericEffects returns as unkown command by the console.

Is it all right if I post everything I see with an old explanation (maybe that used to apply), or without explanation at all but that I got it? I think u all really have a huge work with that, and all help... helps.

C ya.

ANY input provided to help cvars/commands getting documented IS appreciated. In a while, the natural way to do so will be through the wiki itself, but currently it's probably best to post in this thread.
Of course, you can join the wiki, this grants some rights compared to being an anonymous visitor. But be aware that it moves forward at a slow pace, particularly during the working days of the week.

The 'commands' part of the Console Guide 3rd Edition should be replicated into the wiki within the next 2 weeks. For cvars, it will take quite a bit of more time to accomplish the replication

3)And, also, the cvar g_forceAtmosphericEffects returns as unkown command by the console.

Many cvars are simply undefined in online games (playing vs human on remote servers). The largest set of cvars is encountered in practice sessions (playing vs bots on local server). Try again in one of those.
