Details for Dismemberment

[MatrixCPA]

Here's the official word from the Raven mp programmers on how the 2 dismemberment variables work:

 

g_dismember must be set between 1 and 100 to be enabled on the server (100 is the most frequent, 1 is the least, 0 is off). The client must *also* have dismemberment enabled with the cvar cg_dismember in order to actually *see* the dismemberment.

 

One thing though, cg_dismember 2 is full dismemberment on the client (with 1, you won't see waist severing or decapitations).

 

Just thought I'd share.

Thanks, this was exactly the info I was going to ask for here until I saw your post.

[MasterData]

Thanks, MatrixCPA! I've been looking for that info, too.

You are da man!

Does this still crash the server when enabled?

[Animal Planet]

I quick question about the client cg_dismember, do you have to set everytime you join a new server or once you set it, it is always is on for the client?

[MatrixCPA]

It depends how you set it. If you use seta cg_dismember "1" (or "2") it should save in your jk2mpconfig.cfg. You could also include it on a line in your autoexec.cfg as that executes every time you startup the game.

No. But you may experience some extra lag...

Thanks for the info on the setup

cg_dismember "1" and "2" does what? Whats the differance?

[MatrixCPA]

cg_dismember "0" = off

cg_dismember "1" = partial dismemberment

cg_dismember "2" = full dismemberment

 

Basically with 2 you'll get decapitations and waist cuts whie you will not with 1.

Hei.

 

Could someone please explain to me, what 'dismemberment' is doing ?

 

I have been looking through my dictionary's and could not find any meaning with this word.

 

Please explain

[MatrixCPA]

Dismemberment is the removal of limbs. So, with the feature enabled you can chop off someones hand, arm, etc.

Just like the movies

I've seen some set cg_dismember 3

 

I tried it and it still worked, I just didn't see anything different from 2.

[jmcmike]

How does this work if the client does not have it set? What I mean is, is the server things that you got a head shot and took off the head but the client doesn't think so, does the match continue?

 

Or does the dismemberment only take place when the opponent has "died" (health =0)?

I believe that is correct--dismemberment upon death.

[TomeG]

First, sorry for my english.

Is this works, when I ran game only with bots??? You know, not dedicated serv. I want to play with bots and see dismember. What I should to do ?? Please, write exacly if you know, MatrixCPA...

[TomeG]

And another, is this work when I will run local server on my machine on small, 4 users network (and I still can play - you know), and some peple will connect to me. Are they will see dismember when I use your solution above ??? And do I will see it ??? Please answer...

[MatrixCPA]

As long as you have the settings enabled, it doesn't matter if you are hosting the game on a LAN or whether it's dedicated or not.

[TomeG]

ThanX, I checked, it worked, but.... after a while (2-3 min) server was down with messagne ~ "opStack internal error" ??? That this mean ??? It happend every time when I typed \g_dismember 100 and \cg_dismember 1 (or 2 - no matter). Help...

[MatrixCPA]

Are you still using v1.02? There's a known bug in dismemberment in v1.02 that causes such a crash. The solution would be to either not use dismemberment or upgrade to 1.03.

[TomeG]

Yes, I still used 1.02. Now I upgraded to 1.03 and it's works - Big ThanX. But... I don't like this very long time of fighting... It's worse than previous version... Mayby 1.04??? Again ThanX -

[MatrixCPA]

Always glad to be of service. If I find out more about the combat tweaks, I'll be sure to share them.
