AUX POWER -- how to "recharge?"

[haireola]

I'm working on a remake of an old Quake 1 map (Vorple7), and the map is designed for high-speed gameplay. Unlike the Quake games, though, you can only run for a short amount of time in HL2DM without slowing down and allowing AUX POWER to recharge.

Is there any way around this? Maybe a large func_? brush or something?

I *really* need help with this and it's quickly getting knocked down the list.. bump..

make it a CS map.

make it a CS map.

Ha! (this is a map for my brother... he bought me HL2 in exchange for my building a custom map for him. I'm a broke, married college student and he's not)

I dont even think theres a command for it.

 

[Hazar]

so basically you just want the player to run really fast without having to create a mod?

 

[Pesmerga]

You could fake it by putting func_push brushes around. It won't be dynamic, but it might get your bro off your back.

Guess it's just not possible. This happens to be the only thing that I truly dislike about HL2 -- more of a hindrance than an improvement, IMO.

Well if you could ever figure out how to enable just 1 cheat you could use sv_infinite_aux_power (1 for on 0 for off) and then tell the map to set it.
Theres a way to force a server to be team deathmatch so maybe there's a way to force this cheat?

 

[haireola]

Now that's an idea... thanks Limpet!

 

[Limpet]

Your welcome, only problem is that snarkpit is down and thats the only place that I know of with the tutorial on force tdm.

 

[haireola]

Well, for my purposes, the cheat will be just fine... but it would be interesting to know if there is some other workaround.

As for the running, setting infinite aux power involves turning on cheats, and if you turn cheats off again all the cheat CVars reset. For some reason. So... that's not really feasible, and I don't know of any way to override the aux power...

mp_teamplay can be changed because it's not a cheat CVar.

 

[Limpet]

hmm, well I guess it was still worth suggesting

"sv_cheats"
{
	"Cheats"
	{ BOOL }
	{ "1" }
}
"sv_infinite_aux_power"
{
	"Unlimited AuX Power"
	{ BOOL }
	{ "1" }
}

add this to your "D:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\osilo\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\cfg\settings.scr" (the username will vary) file on the computer that you're running the server and when you're creating a server it will have a checkbox for these options they will be defaulted to on. This works for listen servers I do it all the time. enjoy

Thanks Osilo!
