Warsow0.61 - WODX Server - 74.86.171.200:44400

I did all that stuff.  Still does not  read the commands in the exec files.  Also,
the game will not recognize the hook alias in the weapons folder's  autoexec.cfg file.


Now here is an interesting thing also,  in the game browser I set the Wodx test server in the favorites file and I looked the listing and the gametype listing came up  as "error".  Check that out.

Yeah. No hook. Can't execute autoexec.cfg. Soooooo...it's just Q2 classic DM as far as I see it.

Where did you put your autoexec.cfg? Try:

C:\Users\nexus6\AppData\Roaming\Warsow 1.0\weapons
instead of:
C:\Users\nexus6\AppData\Roaming\Warsow 1.02\weapons

http://www.netdoo.com/wodx/autoexec.cfg

I have mine there, and the hook works.

[poser]

I have no directory Warsow 1.0

OK then create "weapons" folder in your Warsow 1.02 install directory, and copy the following autoexec.cfg file there:
http://www.netdoo.com/wodx/autoexec.cfg

For me it was:
C:\Warsow 1.02\weapons\autoexec.cfg

PoRKcHoP,
Try creating "weapons" folder in your new install directory and right-click copy the autoexec.cfg file from the link above. In that autoexec.cfg uncomment the joystick line like so: (i.e. remove // in front of it)

alias +hook hook
alias -hook unhook
bind space +hook

//uncomment the following line if you have a joystick:
seta in_joystick "1"

BTW, were there any other binds associated with the joystick that you found in 0.6 config.cfg other then the following?
seta in_joystick "1"


P.S. I'm aware that the gametype comes up as "error"

[poser]

So don't hit me. Apparently, I had my autoexec.cfg in the base install folder and not the basewsw folder (as instructed in your very first post lol). I moved there and hook works fine.

If you have problems getting your pad working in-game, you can always try using some third-party software to rebind your keys in Windows. Some apps that you can use to do this:

-Xpadder (the Win7 version is not freeware)
-joy2key (freeware)
-autohotkey (freeware but not user-friendly)

Got it working now.  I have put autoexe.cfg and config.cfg files all over the place (4 different places)  and I finally must have got them in the right location.  Thanks Poser and Ruiner.   It is really tricky where to put these config files so that the game can  see it correctly.

NOTE:  Ruiner in your alias file you have  made a little error.  You have
the following

set in_joystick "1"

and it should be...

seta in_joystick "1"


Barton-  Thanks.  I forgot about that type of program for these pads.  Mine came with one but it is an old version that will not work on  Windows 7 for some reason.

Good to hear that you got it working.

If it's Xpadder that would be the case. I remember it was free for a bit but then the author wanted money. I don't blame him.

Great that you got it working, so now we're a step closer to getting this shit operational LOL. It's the beginnings that are always the hardest

set in_joystick "1"

and it should be...

seta in_joystick "1"

I think both commands should work fine, but either way I updated the file anyway.

The command  "set" makes more sense. 


I have tried to log on to the server a couple time and it fails to connect because of map compatibility issues  (I have the same problems on El Paso server too).

Maybe I need to delete some maps that are on my end to force the program to  download new versions that are on the server end.

This is related to the gametype "error" issue, which causes the server to switch to the dm gametype (instead of ffa) for whatever reason and use a maplist with outdated dm maps. I just replaced the outdated maps as well as the dm maplist so this doesn't happen. 

Let me know if it still does though.

Here's a new config I tweaked for those with shitty computers or HPBs who still want their game to look good:

seta gl_ext_GLSL 0
seta gl_ext_texture_compression 1
seta gl_ext_multitexture 1
seta gl_ext_vertex_buffer_object 1

seta r_picmip 0             //set this to 1 if you don't care for nice textures
seta r_skymip 2
seta r_fastsky 0
seta r_texturemode GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST
seta r_texturefilter 0
seta r_stencilbits 0
seta r_bloom 0

seta r_detailtextures 0

seta r_portalmaps 0
seta r_portalmaps_maxtexsize 256

seta r_lodbias 2
seta r_subdivisions 16

seta r_texturebits 16
seta r_colorbits 0

seta r_dynamiclight 2
seta r_lighting_vertexlight 0            //set this to 1 if you want an extra bit of performance and don't care for nice lighting
seta r_lighting_deluxemapping 0

seta r_offsetmapping 0
seta r_offsetmapping_reliefmapping 0

seta r_shadows_pcf 0
seta r_shadows_maxtexsize 800

seta cg_shadows 1
seta cg_outlineModels 0
seta cg_outlineWorld 0
seta cg_outlinePlayers 0
seta cg_simpleItems 0            //set this to 1 if you want to avoid loading item/gun models and instead draw them as icons

vid_restart;
wait;

Right-click and copy low.cfg into your weapons folder, then type: exec low.cfg
Let me know if you come up with something more optimized that still looks OK.

I copied and pasted the above cfg commands exactly as you said and the game performance was vastly improved for me.  The graphics were a little lower, but not by much.

My computer is only about a year old with no game video card. 

In the old quake engine you had a command to change the sky.  (I like "sky black").
Are those commands available in the new engine?
