OSP Tourney DM/CA/CTF for Quake3
================================
Date: 28 Feb 03
Site: http://www.OrangeSmoothie.org
Contact: rhea@OrangeSmoothie.org
Version: 1.03
This readme explains the enhanced client-side support and options
under OSP Tourney DM/CA/CTF.
Connect/graphics problems:
==========================
Try setting com_hunkmegs to 56 or 64 in your q3config.cfg (look for
its current setting already in the .cfg file), autoexec.cfg or what-
ever client config you exec on client launch. You can even specify
this on the command-line with: +set com_hunkmegs 56.
Naming conventions:
===================
cg_* - General client-side options.
ch_* - Stuff related to client HUD settings.
cf_* - Stuff for client font (size) settings.
Message Control characters:
===========================
The following control characters describe additional features that can
be utilized for such things as the team chat console, names in the OSP
HUD and MOTD messages.
^B and ^b - make text blink
^F - makes the text display only at the first half of a second
^f - makes the text display only at the last half of a second
^N - resets control stuff like ^B, ^F, ^f
^Xrrggbb - allows the user to define the color using the rgb values (hex)
(e.g. ^XFF0000 is red, ^X777777 some kind of grey).
Setting restrictions
====================
The following settings are enforced for internet play:
r_lodcurveerror must be set to 250
r_fullbright must be set to 0
r_subdivisions must be no greater than 80
r_znear must be set to 4
r_shownormals must be set to 0
r_showtris must be set to 0
If you have settings that violate any of these rules, OSP will reset the
faulty variable to an acceptable setting and issue a vid_restart. A side-
effect of this will mean that maps may appear to load more than once
upon connecting to a server.
Other clamps:
cg_bobup clamped to +/- 0.005
upper bound of cg_fov clamped to 140
upper bound of cg_zoomFov clamped to 140
cg_shadows clamped to between 0 and 1
no cg_thirdperson view if in the game (and on a dedicated server)
com_maxfps must be between 1 and 125 (not bound for listen server)
---> Can be disabled with a callvote of capfps 0
Available chat tokens
=====================
#A - Armor
Current armor value (lower-case "a" will print the value
with color coding, depending on the level of the value)
#C - Corpse
The location where you last died
/say_team "Overrun at #C"
#D - Damaged by
The last player to score a hit on you
/say_team "#D is here and he's heavily armed!"
#F - nearest Friend
Reports closest teammate in team-based gametypes.
#H - Health
Current health value (lower-case "h" will print the value
with color coding, depending on the level of the value)
/say_team "Hurting bad - #H/#A"
#I - Item (nearest available)
Shows the nearest "significant" (weapon, armor, powerup, or MH)
available item, and that includes dropped items. Note, you must
be able to *see* the center of the item (not just an edge).. this
requires you to be facing in the general direction of the object.
/say_team "#I available here"
#K - ammopacK (nearest available)
Just like #I, except it reports only closest available ammopack.
#L - Location
Many maps have terrible target_location entities
e.g. PG on PRO-DM6 shows as YA
"(pF.arQon) (YA): Weapon available" is a bit crap, neh?
This shows the nearest "significant" item spawn
(weapon, armor, powerup, or MH), whether the item is there or not
#M - aMmo wanted
Lists all types of ammo for weapons you have that are empty or
are nearly emptry (between 0 and 5 ammo).
/say_team "Need #M"
#P - last item Picked up
Reports last item picked up. Useful for reporting when you pick
up an important item (i.e. quad).
#R - health/aRmor (nearest available)
Just like #I, except it reports only closest available health/armor.
#T - Target
The last player you hit
/say_team "#T is weak - finish him!"
#U - powerUps
Lists all powerups you currently possess
#W - current Weapon held
Prints the abbreviated name of the weapon you are currently holding
Client commands
===============
addstr [target_string] [source_string]
Appends [source_string] to [target_string] (promode only)
currenttime
Displays current local time.
menu
Allows for adjustment of the various OSP-enhanced variables
and options. Below is a decription of supporting commands to
utilize this client game option (note: words between ""'s are
actually console commands):
- "menu" enables the menu
- "weapprev" and "weapnext" to scroll up and down though the
menu (bound to '[' and ']' respectively, by default).
- "menuleft" and "menuright" to select menu items, or to make
values for some menu options decrease or increase.
It is suggested that you bind these menu commands (i.e.
weapprev, weapnext, menuleft, menuright and menu) to some
out-of-the-way keys:
bind / menu
bind [ weapprev
bind ] weapnnext
bind ";" menuleft
bind ' menuright
modif[1..5] stuff
+modif[1..5] and -modif[1..5] supports the option for people who
want to double-bind multiple keys using key sequences, as shown
in the example below:
set normkeys "bind 1 weapon 1; bind 2 weapon 2"
set altkeys "bind 1 say_team nme incoming; bind 2 say_team base is safe"
+modif1 vstr normkeys
-modif1 vstr altkeys
bind shift +modif1
Now when pressing the SHIFT key, +modif1 wil be executed. When
it is released, the vstr bound to -modif1 will be executed. In this
example, pressing shift will bind the 1 and 2 keys to weapons 1 and 2.
When SHIFT is released, the 1 and 2 keys will be bound to
"say_team nme incoming!" and "say_team base is under attack!".
As a usage scenario from the above example, tapping the SHIFT key and
then hitting the 1 key will result in issuing a "say_team nme incoming!".
Pressing and HOLDING the SHIFT key while tapping the 1 key will switch
to weapon 1.
use \+modif1 ? to check what's bound to +modif1
Note: This command requires initialization AFTER the cgame is loaded. You
simply cannot set your modif settings in a config file and expect them
to automatically work (they are cgame commands). However, you CAN use
the "cg_execVstr" cvar to do an auto-init on OSP 1.01 servers and higher.
serverversion
Displays current OSP version and all referenced .pk3s used by the server.
Very helpful for determing what OSP version and .pk3 files used in a demo
(the command can be used at any time while a demo is running).
+/-actions
This is the Q3comp version of the same thing.
set action1up "bind 1 weapon 1; bind 2 weapon 2"
set action1down "bind 1 say_team nme incoming!; bind 2 say_team base is safe"
bind shift +action1
This will do the same thing as the modif example.
You can have up to 10 actions. (0-9)
+fire [weap_1] [weap_2] ...
Specifies a chain of weapons to attempt to switch to and fire, e.g.:
+fire 5 3
Switches to and fires the RL, if available, else it switches to the
SG and fires, else no action is performed (promode only).
select [weap_1] [weap_2] ...
Just like +fire, except the weapon is NOT fired.
+vstr [down_command] [upcommand]
Another useful way to create weapon switching scripts. Here's an example:
set shaft "weapon 6; wait 2; +attack"
set unfire "-attack"
bind mouse2 +vstr shaft unfire
General Game Options:
=====================
General in-game client-side options to tweak fall under the cg_* category.
For most of the HUD (heads-up-display) options, see the ch_* and cf_*
options, listed in the next sections.
cg_altGrenades <0|1> (default = 0 - baseq3 grenade skin)
Utilizes an alternate (prettier) skin/model for the grenades
from the grenade launcher.
cg_altLightning <0|1> (default = 0 - new 1.29/promode skin)
Utilizes the original skin (pre 1.29) for the shaft of the
lightning gun.
cg_altPlasma <0|1> (default = 0 - baseq3 plasma skin)
Utilizes an alternate (prettier) skin for the plasma bolts
of the plasma gun.
cg_ammoCheck <0|1> (default = 0 - disabled)
Disables the ability to switch to a weapon that doesn't
have any ammo. Useful for multiple-weapon binds.
cg_autoAction <option_bitmask> (default = 0)
Automatically performs actions at certain points in the game.
<option_bitmask>:
1 - Automatically save stats to a local text
file at the end of a match. Logs will be
stored in:
<osp_root>/stats/<date>/<logname>.txt
2 - Automatically takes an end-level screenshot
4 - Automatically records a match (requires
a full warmup server - g_warmup = 0)
8 - Dump your team's weapon stats
16 - Dump all players' weapon stats
cg_clientLog <value> (default = 0)
Enables client-side logging option. A non-zero value of "X"
(where "X" is 1 or higher) enables logging all of messages issued
during gameplay. Colors are stripped and time-stamps are included!
All entries are appended to osp/client_logs/clientX.txt text file.
cg_Customloc <0|1> (Default = 0 - disabled)
Use custom location information (from files in the locs/<mapname>.cfg
directory) for the teamoverlay and teamchat locations. To add
locations for a map, move to a particular location, and then issue:
\addpos <location name>
You can use all kinds of color and special characters in the
location_name field. These position markers will be added to
locs\<mapname>.cfg everytime a location is added. These locations
are loaded when a map is loaded or the client issues a vid_restart
command. If a customloc file is not found for the current map,
the location information that is displayed will be from the map's
default information.
cg_drawCrosshairNames <0|1|2> (default = 1 - show all players)
0 - No drawing of player names when pointing at them.
1 - Display the name of any player who is in the crosshair.
2 - Display only teammate names.
cg_drawDecals <0|1> (default = 1 - Decal drawing enabled)
Enables/disables drawing of in-game decals.
cg_drawPing <0|1|2> (default = 1 - show current ping)
Enables/disables the display of your current ping on the HUD
(above lagometer). Option 2 will color the value with the
corresponding color-code as seen in the scoreboard
cg_enableOSPHUD <0|1> (default = 1 - OSP-based HUD enabled)
Enables the OSP-based HUD.
cg_enemyColors <HSL> (default = 0000 (White))
Specifies the various color options for your enemies, if using
the "pm" skins for the default Q3 models:
R = rail color (for cg_teamrails 2)
H = head/helmet color
S = shirt color
L = legs color
----> Note: Values of the "char" for each of the "RHSL" parameters can be
from 0-9, a-z.
cg_enemyModel <modelname> (default = "" - disabled)
Setting this will force all players on the enemy team to
appear to have this model. Your teammates will retain their
models unless you specify g_forcemodel 1, which will force
all of your teammates to your current model.
cg_execVstr <string> (default = "")
Specifies a string to exec after connecting to a server. OSP performs
"vstr <string>" on the value of this variable. Helpful for +zoom
scripts for thin-shaft, as an example.
cg_float <0|1> (default = 0)
Allows cool float mode of the scoreboard and teamscore
boxes.
cg_followkiller <0|1> (default = 0 - disabled)
Allows client to auto-switch to killer of chased player.
Cool for specing in-eyes 1v1 matches, and cool for viewcam
player specing in team games.
cg_followpowerup <0|1> (default = 0 - disabled)
Allows client to auto-follow powerup pickup if spectating.
Flag carriers have highest precidence in the follow_powerup
settings. Once you are on a flag carrier, you will not switch
automatically unless they are killed or cap the flag.
Also, if the current powerup player is killed, you will switch
to another powerup carrier, if one exists (rather than staying
on the same player, or switching to the killer).
cg_followviewcam <0|1> (default = 1 - follow specific player)
Toggles use of dynamic or specific player follow mode of the
viewcam.
cg_forceColors <0|1> (default = 0 - disabled)

0 - Disabled
1 - Show in lower right portion of the screen
2 - Show in upper right portion of the screen
cg_MaxlocationWidth <length> (default = 16)
Sets maximum locationlength for teamoverlay and teamchat.
cg_muzzleFlash <0|1> (default = 1)
Specifies if there is a muzzle flash when cg_drawGun is set to 1.
cg_nochatbeep <0|1> (default = 0 - normal chat beeps enabled)
Allows client to supress "beeps" heard during normal chat
messages. Especially convenient when connected to spam-riddled
QTV servers.
cg_nomip <bitmask> (default = 0 - all gfx follow r_picmip)
Allows changing graphics to picmip 1 setting, regardless of
current r_picmip setting. The parameter for this setting
is a bitmask:

also set to picmip level 0.
cg_NoMOTDDisplayDuringDemo <0|1> (default = 0 - Display MOTD in a demo)
0 - Always displays the server MOTD during demo playback
1 - Suppresses the display of the server MOTD during demo playback
cg_oldCTFSounds <0|1> (default = 0 - Use newer CTF sounds)
Allows the use of "old" CTF sounds in CTF gametype that were
used prior to the 1.27 patch.
cg_oldPlasma <0|1> (default = 1)
Alternates between old-style q3 plasmagun and the new plasma graphic
with sparkles.
cg_oldRail <0|1> (default = 1)
Alternates between old-style q3 rail and the new rail with the
Q2 swirl.
cg_oversampleMouse <0|1> - (default = 0 - normal mouse sampling)
Allows the use of the pmove enhanced mouse sampling on the
client even if pmove_fixed is forced to 0 on the server.
cg_q3compScoreboard <0|1> (default = 0)
0 - default id scoreboard
1 - Q3comp Scoreboard (TDM, CTF and CA only)
cg_scoreTransparency <0.0 - 1.0> (default = 1.0 - full bright)
Adjusts the alpha channel of the font on the scoreboard. The
lower the value, the more transparent the scores will become.
cg_showPlayerLean <0|1> (default = 1 - Show model leaning)
Allows the disabling of viewed model leaning that was intro-
duced with 1.27 patch.
cg_statscrolltime <value> (default = 0.15)
Sets, in seconds, the time it takes for the stats window
to scroll out and scroll back in. Setting to 0 forces
instant on/off action.
cg_swapSkins <0|1> (default = 0 - normal team colors)

Forces railtrail colors to coincide with the color of the
team of the firing players. Works only for team-based
gametypes.

player (i.e. a player on the red team will ALWAYS have
a red rail trail).
2 - Use rail color as specified in the R parameter of color1
for teammates, and the R parameter of cg_enemyColors for
players of the enemy team.
cg_truelightning <0.0 - 1.0> (default = 0.0)
Specifies the "lag" imposed on the rendering of the lightning
gun shaft. A value of 0.0 is just like the baseq3 version "feel"
of the lg. A value of 1.0 imposes no lag at all (shaft is always
rendered on the crosshairs). A value of 0.5 is a good mix of the
two to reduce the wet-noodle effect, while still maintaining
consistency of where the server actually sees the shaft.
cg_useScreenShotJPEG <0|1> (default = 0 - use .tga for screenshots)
Allows use of .jpg for screenshots taken with autoscreenshot or
autoaction settings.
0 - Use the standard .tga screenshot format

s_ambient <0|1> (default = 1)
0 - Disables looping ambient sounds of the current map
1 - Enables looping ambient sounds of the current map
---> Note: If this value is changed while connected, you will automatically
vid_restart to enable this option.

=======================
Helpful Client Settings
=======================
Clients can set:
set cg_predictItems 0
To avoid some sometimes arbitrary item actions and pickup sounds
that can occur during a match warmup period.
Using the hook:
===============
If the server has the hook enabled, set:
bind key_name +button5
By pressing and holding key_name (e.g. mouse3), your hook will be
launched and pull you when it lands on an object. To release the
hook, just release key_name.
Item dropping:
==============
If configured (or voted in), players can drop weapons/ammo in TDM
or CTF games. The command to drop items is:
\drop <item_name>
<item_name> can be any of the following:
sg (Shotgun)
gl (Grenade Launcher)
rl (Rocket Launcher)
lg (Lightning Gun)
rg (Railgun)
pg (Plasma Gun)
bullets (qty: 50)
shells (qty: 10)
grenades (qty: 5)
rockets (qty: 5)
lightning (qty: 80)
slugs (qty: 10)
cells (qty: 30)
Players may optionally drop flags in CTF by the command:
\drop flag
Using the ViewCam:
==================
There are several ways to use the viewcam. To enable:
- Type: \viewcam in the console
- Join: \team vc
- Cycle through to it when in spectator mode
This mode of operation will always locate the most action going
on in the map. To manually move to different viewcam locations,
type:
\vc_free
----> This option toggles either manual or automatic viewcam
positioning.
You can optionally track a single player with this mode through:
\vc_follow
To follow a SPECIFIC player, type:
\vc_follow [PLAYER_ID|PLAYER_NAME]
----> Note you can just cycle through to a player using the
jump/croutch keys as well.
The viewcam positions are defined by configuration files that are
map-specific. If a map does not have a viewcam definition file,
the viewcam will be disabled from use for the current map.
Creating new viewcam definition files is pretty easy and kinda
fun =) All the documentation you will need (+ additional commands)
is given in the included Docs/osp-q3-Viewcam.txt file.
If you make viewcam definition files that are not included with
the OSP distribution, please send them to me and I will include
them in the next release. Full credits will of course be given.
