//disable hear-view chat bind
alias chatoff "cf1; cf2"
alias cf1 "bind BUTTON chaton; set cl_chat_sound 0; set con_notifytime 0"
alias cf2 "echo chat off"
alias chaton "cn1; cn2"
alias cn1 "bind BUTTON chatoff; set cl_chat_sound 1; set con_notifytime 3"
alias cn2 "echo chat on"
bind BUTTON "chatoff"

Alternate 'alias cf2' line:
alias cf2 "clear;echo chat off"
The 'clear' command clears the console of messages.

Or do it this way:
set cl_chat_sound "0"
set con_notifytime "0"


cl_chat_sound - This is a Q2PRO command, i don't know what else it works with.
Specifies sound effect to play each time chat message is received. Default value is 1.
0 — don’t play chat sound
1 — play normal sound (‘misc/talk.wav’)
2 — play alternative sound (‘misc/talk1.wav’)

con_notifytime - This is a regular Q2 command.
The delay before console messages disappear from the screen. Default value is 3.
0 — don't show console messages

For the 'cl_chat_sound' command the talk1.wav file is located just below the talk.wav file in the standard Quake 2 pak0.pak in \sound\misc.

For the 'con_notifytime' command if you set 'con_notifytime' to '0' you can still view the console messages by just opening up the console.

Alternate 'alias msg4' line:

Type: Toggle
Default: 1

Description: Toggle the display of messages.

Q2PRO client manual ignore commands: https://github.com/skullernet/q2pro/blob/master/doc/client.asciidoc#chat-filters

Chat Filters

Chat filters allow messages from annoying players to be ignored. Each chat filter is composed from a match string. When a chat message is received from server, a list of chat filters is examined. For each filter, match is wildcard compared with the message, ignoring any unprintable characters. If the message matches, it is silently dropped.

There is also simpler form of chat filters: nickname filters that ignore chat strings from specific nickname. They can be replicated with generic filters and are supported for convenience. Unlike generic chat filters that support wildcards, nicknames are matched as plain strings, ignoring any unprintable characters.

ignoretext [match …]
Adds new generic chat filter. When called without arguments, prints a list of registered generic filters.

unignoretext [all] | [match …]
Removes the specified generic chat filter. Specify all to remove all filters. When called without arguments, prints a list of registered generic filters.

ignorenick [nickname]
Adds new filter to ignore specific nickname. This command supports nickname completion. When called without arguments, prints a list of registered nickname filters.

unignorenick [all] | [nickname]
Removes filter to ignore specific nickname. This command supports nickname completion. Specify all to remove all filters. To remove literal nickname ‘all’, pass a second argument (can be any string). When called without arguments, prints a list of registered nickname filters.

unignoretext [all] | [match ...]
Removes the specified chat filter. Specify all to remove all filters. When called without arguments, prints a list of registered filters.

ignorenick [nickname]
Automatically composes and adds two chat filters: _nickname_: * and (_nickname_): *. This command supports nickname completion. When called without arguments, prints a list of registered filters.

unignorenick [nickname]
Automatically composes and removes two chat filters: _nickname_: * and (_nickname_): *. This command supports nickname completion. When called without arguments, prints a list of registered filters.

This post was quoted from Replacing the rocket/grenade splash damage animation/graphic

In the 'Effects' section of the Q2PRO Client Manual there are several relevant console commands.


cl_disable_particles
Disables rendering of particles for the following effects. This variable is a bitmask. Default value is 0.

1 — grenade explosions
2 — grenade trails
4 — rocket explosions
8 — rocket trails


cl_disable_explosions
Disables rendering of animated models for the following effects. This variable is a bitmask. Default value is 0.

1 — grenade explosions
2 — rocket explosions


Tip: Bitmasks
Bitmask cvars allow multiple features to be enabled. To enable the needed set of features, their values need to be summed.


I dunno what else is in there but Q2PRO clearly has it covered from the console command angle.

press and hold the key down (N) to see packetloss , eg red lines

//Netgraph
alias +netgraph "netgraph 1"
alias -netgraph "netgraph 0"
bind n "+netgraph"

this while simple saves a load of typing

bind o spectator 1
bind p spectator 0

Re: Share autoexec.cfg Code Thread
« Reply #8 on: 12-08-2021 16:25:35 »

Your default cfg file in the baseq2 folder is autoexec.cfg, if autoexec.cfg is too big then it may fail to load when you connect to a server, if you have this problem then you can create an extra cfg file (pick your own name for said extra cfg file) and then take cfg code from autoexec.cfg and put it into said extra cfg file so that you can keep autoexec.cfg from being too big.

1. Create the insertnamehere.cfg file and put it into the baseq2 folder
2. Take cfg code from your autoexec.cfg file and put it into the insertnamehere.cfg file
3. Put this line of cfg code into your autoexec.cfg file: exec insertnamehere.cfg

You can create more than one extra cfg file by following the same 3-step process.

This is a good procedure that everyone would be well-advised to follow. The command buffer size in modern clients is 64k bytes but was originally only 8k in the idSoftware code. The game swallows the entire contents of the config files into the command buffer before it tries to parse the commands so spaces and comments are all put into the command buffer before parsing. Breaking your configs into multiple files exec'd from within the autoexec.cfg is definitely a good way to keep them organized. Executing them as modules from within autoexec.cfg allows greater control of the client startup without a lot of duplication of text.

Writing files like grapple.cfg, hook.cfg, zoom.cfg, msgmodes.cfg, etc. allows you to keep all files in your configurations nicely cataloged into single-page, easy to edit modules. Different autoexec's per mod can be customized to call the needed component configs so you don't have to be scrolling through a long file looking for a particular command or bind.

This FANTASTIC bind, that I composed, covers the grapple hook code for a whole bunch of (Original) Quake 2 mods.

Chaos, L-Fire CTF, WOD, LMCTF, Lithium, Railwarz, Etc.

//many grapple hooks bind
alias gh1 "bind BUTTON1 gh2;bind BUTTON2 +grapple;echo chaos grapple"
alias +grapple "grapple;wait;grapple shrink"
alias -grapple "grapple grow"
alias gh2 "bind BUTTON1 gh3;bind BUTTON2 +ctfgh;echo ctf grapple"
alias +ctfgh "use Grapple;+attack"
alias -ctfgh "-attack;weaplast"
alias gh3 "bind BUTTON1 gh4;bind BUTTON2 +hookwod;echo wod grapple"
alias +hookwod "hook action;wait;hook shrink"
alias -hookwod "hook stop"
alias gh4 "bind BUTTON1 gh5;bind BUTTON2 +hook;echo misc q2 mods gh"
alias gh5 "bind BUTTON1 gh6;bind BUTTON2 +hook2;echo laser hook old"
alias gh6 "bind BUTTON1 gh7;bind BUTTON2 +hook3;echo alt ctf grapple"
alias gh7 "bind BUTTON1 gh8;bind BUTTON2 +hook4;echo alt wod grapple"
alias gh8 "bind BUTTON1 gh9;bind BUTTON2 +hook5;echo laser hook new"
alias gh9 "bind BUTTON1 gh1;bind BUTTON2 ngh;echo no grapple hook"
alias ngh ""
bind BUTTON1 "gh1"
bind BUTTON2 "ngh"
bind BUTTON3 "hook action;hook action"
bind BUTTON4 "hook4 action;hook4 action"

BUTTON1 = change grapple hook using
BUTTON2 = use equipped grapple hook
BUTTON3 = wod grapple - shoot multiple grapple hooks (NOT NEEDED)
BUTTON4 = alt wod grapple - shoot multiple grapple hooks (NOT NEEDED)

Do not alter the 'alias ngh' line, it is correct, there is nothing wrong with it.

Here is how you use config/console code to defunctionalise a button:

//defunctionalise a button bind
alias ALIAS ""
bind BUTTON "ALIAS"

Or do it this way:
bind BUTTON ""

By placing nothing between quotation marks in code you can defunctionalise a button.

[QwazyWabbit]

There is also the

unbind

command.
unbind <key>
