crabje needs cfg help

Well after having this problem for 2 years or so now i decided to do something about it.

here is the problem

when i connect to a etserver its always doing a vid-restart. this is because there are some mistakes in my cfg. if its a common setting i would like to know what it is. if not please pmme here or on irc. crabje on #6on6.et or something and i ll sent you my config

I am still using my RTCW config. i ve tried a different cfg, but my pc cant handle it because most cfg's are just to good for my pc.

thanks in advance :)

ok i solved it guys thanks

it happens to me also

lol one second
load etpro first and then connect , then u dont have vid restart, atleast works for me
i have heard that if you delete "unbindall" from the cfg it will help you

or just look at etpro you should have files called something with cvar
thats not even in my cfg
Parent
in etpro folder you should have files called cvar_backup
open them and you will see the cmd that are not ok in your config, usaully its the range of them

you have 2 reconnects cuz some cmds in your config are not in the range they should be
Parent
lol i c, there are like 600 backups made

this is 1

// sv_hostname [ ^/P^7r^/0^7-^/G^7amin^/g W^7ar.]
// cl_currentServerIP [213.171.207.164:27960]
// cl_currentServerAddress [213.171.207.164:27960]
// server_motd0 [^/Welcome To]
// server_motd1 [^/Our Server]
// server_motd2 [ ^7-^1*^7-^1*^7-^1*^7-^1*^7-^1*^7-^1*^7-^1*^7- ]
// server_motd3 [^7Be Nice Is All We Ask]

set cl_pitchspeed 140 // CVAR_EQ violation - [140] should be EQ [0]
set snaps 40 // CVAR_EQ violation - [40] should be EQ [20]
set r_ati_fsaa_samples 1 // CVAR_EQ violation - [1] should be EQ [0]
set r_ati_truform_tess 1 // CVAR_EQ violation - [1] should be EQ [0]
set r_subdivisions 999 // CVAR_IN violation - [999] should be IN [0 20]

thats cuz you didnt fix the first in the first time
just delete all enter a server, quit and check the cvar_backup and np :>
Parent
hey i have 1935 cvar_backup files what should I do ? :<
Parent
delete all, enter a server then you will have like 1 or 2 or 3 and check what are the wrong cvar's in them
Parent
ok then How do I fix that " // sv_hostname [^7Result-Games @ Fly-Net.pl] " if i don't have it in my cfg :X ?
Parent
left CTRL+left SHIFT then go to the right and you will see
Parent
ehkm what, I don't get it ?:D
Parent
just copy everything to here :<
Parent
i dont have cvarbackups and i get the same problem
Parent
thats wierd
maybe you have vid_restart in your cfg? :X
Parent
hmmm put the config in etpro and then try
Parent
ofc you have no cvars :D

seta b_backupcvars "1"

dunno if command is correct though
Parent
i know the command, and frankly i dont think that if its set to 0 it will stop doing vidrestart

edit: forgot to say that on some servers it vidrestarts and on others it doesnt
Parent
its cause you have a slightly diffrent config in etman folder and etpro folder, they need to be the same
Parent
i ve got that on 40 ffs!
Just open et automaticly with fs_game etpro
r_subdivisions 20
snaps 20
add b_backupcvars "1" to your config, then connect to a server and wait until after the vid restart. then disconnect again and take a look in your etpro folder. there should be some file(s) called cvarbackup or smth. open them and you see the cvars responsible for the vid_restart.

*okay, someone was faster*
see below :p
Parent
change to this:
set cl_pitchspeed 0
set cl_yawspeed 0
set snaps 20
set r_depthbits 24
set r_subdivisions 20
Parent
// sv_hostname [^1#^7Force^1'^7Gaming Warserver-^14]
// cl_currentServerIP [85.17.171.55:27980]
// cl_currentServerAddress [85.17.171.55:27980]
// server_motd0 [#Force^1'^7Gaming]
// server_motd1 [^8Sponsored ^>by^5:]
// server_motd2 [^8united^>gameservers^5.^8nl]
// server_motd3 [unitedfearlessforce.com]
// server_motd4 [^1#^7Force'Gaming ^1@^7Qnet^1.^7org]
set cl_pitchspeed 140 // CVAR_EQ violation - [140] should be EQ [0]
set cl_yawspeed 140 // CVAR_EQ violation - [140] should be EQ [0]
set snaps 40 // CVAR_EQ violation - [40] should be EQ [20]
set r_depthbits 16 // CVAR_IN violation - [16] should be IN [24 32]
set r_subdivisions 999 // CVAR_IN violation - [999] should be IN [1 20]


this is the last backup
set cl_pitchspeed 0
set cl_yawspeed 0
set snaps 20
set r_depthbits 24
set r_subdivisions 20

and its done (K) crabje xD
Parent
set cl_pitchspeed 0
set cl_yawspeed 0
set snaps 20
set r_dephbits 24
set r_subdivisions 20

change to this values ;]
Parent
Delete all your cvar backups and play on sum servers, after couple times of vid_restarting itself go and change the cvars are in teh backupz
