Marker0077 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 This puts the chat text up top similar to how it was in JK2. This is MUCH better than how it is currently because chat text tends to get in your way while playing. Type "cg_chatboxheight 60" & that should do it (I believe 350 is the default if you do not like it). The "cg_chatbox" cvar sets the amount of time text is to be displayed. Another tip that I personally find useful is setting the "cg_fov" cvar to 120 (default is 80). This sets the third person camera back a bit more so you can see more area, now this does take some getting used to but is well worth it in my opinion. Hope you guys enjoy these tips as much as I do, - Marker0077 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 well, i dont know any o fhte chatbox commands, but cg_fov is the feild of vision of the camera, its capped at 97 i believe for JA. i alwasy just set mine to 100 anyway. the command that affects how far away the camera is from you is cg_thirdpersonrange and its cheat protected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acdcfanbill Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 to set ur camera so it points backwards, you must have cheats enabled, then set cg_thirdpersonangle 180 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lathain Valtiel Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Say Bill, where is the SL server? It doesn't show up anymore. IP change? Heh, offtopicness. cg_fov 100 is nice, but slows me down some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Side Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 nah there some command to make it backward. with no cheat on, something like making /sp_win to stop at a certain angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Can anyone help me? I want to remove the timer in siege! I dont know how, does anyone know? Please. Sorry Sarah, I don't think there is a way to remove the timer in Siege (if by that you mean disable it completely).... not without modifying the code that controls the features of the gametype. I know you can modify how long you have to wait between spawns, and you can simply launch the map in Team FFA mode (that kills the timer, but also the goals, makes unlucky spawning problematic since only certain teams can open certain doors, and other quirky things (like for example the AI may attack you regardless). So it's not even really Siege anymore, just a regular map with some AI and scripting thrown in (most of which won't work anymore without the Siege gametype). Without the timer, the Defending team could never win, since their victory is based on keeping the enemy from completing their objects until time runs out.

Trubs pet cat Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 well i dont mind waiting for spawning, i just like to have as little on my screen as possible so i can focus more on the game, i wanted to get rid of that huge fat timer and add the small simple one at the top with cg_drawtimer atm i use cg_hudfiles1, cg_drawradar 0, now i just want to rid of the fat ugly timer, but i doubt its possible,i looked in cg commands and didnt find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
