Just because the engine allows to change it does not mean it should be used. It all depends on the game you are creating/wanting. The same engine is used in Quake3 and it's allowed to be changed there, but using that as an argument isn't really valid as it's not the same game. Merely the same engine.

The fact that it's not allowed in ET also has nothing to do with trying to get as close to realism as possible. It's simply an aspect of the game that you have the element of surprise in some situations, or the ability to hide yourself better.

Don't like it? Like Euruzz suggested, play a different game or start your own league with your own set of configs where it's allowed to be changed.

remember somebody said slac has nothing to do with it and cant do anything about it, more like etpro-update would be needed or something

Easy to bug/glitch if they're unlimited?
▼
Sample 18 Feb 2011, 14:32
dont have to be unlimited, but reset values: for example r_ambientscale is 0.5 max - could be 3.0 which is A LOT better and doesnt cause any harm

(15:45:10) (khaplja) if leagues want it, i'll unlock them
(15:45:12) (khaplja) otherwise no

its up to league admins, not very hard to change valuelimits
no need to touch etpro or anything

it's the configs that limit it, are you saying that chaplja has to turn slac into a cvar unlocker or what

Sample 18 Feb 2011, 15:05
r_ambientscale is cheatprotected and SLAC forces sv_cheats to 0, so this can only be changed by SLAC update + config update.

If it would be on 1 you could also do /god /give ammo etc -.-

Sample 18 Feb 2011, 17:13

IceQ 18 Feb 2011, 17:17

basicly league admins decide how players play the game even thought they aint playing in top level :P As awesome success as 6on6 to 5on5 :)


Lucky ET have admins who know how to make game more enjoyable :PPPpppP
