What really bugs me.

[Dridmar]

Do you know what really bugs me with mapping? Switching the damn FN on and off.

Whilst working on my map, I have to go and turn it off in my listenserver.cfg, and when I want to play, I need to turn it back on again. It is annoying because I have to navigate all the way to my msc folder to do that.

Is there any other way I can do it with ease?
Can't good mappers get like a mapping immunity to FN? They could go and test their maps on FN without getting in trouble.

There, I feel better now that I've let that out.

Discuss.

Make a shortcut on desktop? I have a shortcut to go straight to my hl file for easy access to my mods when custom models and whatnot comes out.

sv_lan 1

mb?

 

[pimpsta]

rename your listenserver.cfg to 1listenserver.cfg it is the easier way.

 

[Dridmar]

I did what Villager suggested. And its a good idea.

@ Ulq: I don't think sv_lan 1 would help it anyway.

@ Pimp: ?? Why rename it ?

you could put a shortcut to your msc folder on your desktop, or bother people to make batch files to change it for you

It's not really a tough batch file...Just give me the path to your MSC folder and your listenserver.cfg and I'll make a crappy (compared to what Thothie can do, I'm sure) batch file that switches them out. I already did one like this for switching our CS: S configs to and from tourney mode.

You don't need the path to his msc folder

@echo off 
Title MSC Finder
FOR /F "tokens=2*" %%A IN ('REG QUERY "HKCU\software\valve\steam" /v ModInstallPath') DO SET mscdir=%%B
set mscfolder=%mscdir%\msc
echo %mscfolder%
pause

That'll give you the path to msc.

 

[The Man In Black]

I'm too lazy to work with that, so if he just sends me the path and the file, I can make a crappy version that will work.

 

[Dridmar]

Ah, I know what I will do. I'll just host a dedicated server whenever I want to play.
Or do something like you guys recommended.

Go to your mscfolder and make a file called "FNon.fn" if you have FN enabled and call it "FNoff.fn" if FN is disabled. Also create two new folders called "FNon" and "FNoff". Put a listenserver.cfg containing fuznet inside the FNon folder and a listenserver.cfg without fuznet in the FNoff folder. When you've done that the following code should work.

@echo off 
Title MSC Finder
FOR /F "tokens=2*" %%A IN ('REG QUERY "HKCU\software\valve\steam" /v ModInstallPath') DO SET mscdir=%%B
set mscfolder=%mscdir%\msc

if exists FNoff.fn goto :fuzneton else goto :fuznetoff


:fuzneton
copy %mscfolder%\listenserver.cfg %mscfolder%\FNoff\listenserver.cfg
copy %mscfolder%\FNon\listenserver.cfg %mscfolder%\listenserver.cfg
move %mscfolder%\FNoff.fn %mscfolder%\FNon.fn
echo.
echo FN has been turned on.
echo.
goto :finish

:fuznetoff
copy %mscfolder%\listenserver.cfg %mscfolder%\FNon\listenserver.cfg
copy %mscfolder%\FNoff\listenserver.cfg %mscfolder%\listenserver.cfg
move %mscfolder%\FNon.fn %mscfolder%\FNoff.fn
echo.
echo FN has been turned off.
echo.
goto :finish


:finish
pause

Can you say "confusing." lol
Alright, I will look @ that tomorrow and tell you if it worked. I would try right now, but its 12:30am already, and I got to get to bed.

 

[The Man In Black]

Or..Just this..

1. In your MSC folder, make a folder called "FN CFG"

2. Put the version of listenserver.cfg with FN ENABLED into the new folder

3. Edit the version NOT in the folder to have FN DISABLED

4. Then just have the batch file...

cd MSC_FOLDER
move ./FN CFG/listenserver.cfg listenserverTEMP.cfg
move listenserver.cfg ./FN CFG/listenserver.cfg
rename listenserverTEMP.cfg listenserver.cfg

It's the same principle, but it is less "confusing" of a batch file.

Or just comment out "ms_central_enabled 1" in the cfg.
: //ms_central_enabled 1
Then when you start up a server ether tick the central server box or dont.
Or even leave it unticked a bind a button to ms_central_enabled 1
then you can just press a button change map and its on.
Works for me :/

Wait... What?

You do not need to edit your listenserver.cfg to play only to HOST. If you are playing on other people's servers, your listenserver.cfg isn't even used.

 

[The Man In Black]

I hope that's not what he meant, but I'd laugh if it is XD

I don't really play on other servers, I play on my own. Hope that clears it up.

 

[Thothie]

ah...

Well, although all those more elaborate ways would work, the easiest way is probably to remove all references to ms_central/fuznet from your listenserver.cfg. Then simply add this to your userconfig.cfg:

alias fuzz "exec fuznet.cfg"

...and whenever you want to launch a listenserver hosted on FN, simply type "fuzz", hit enter, then "map edana", if ya don't want to be on FN, don't use the fuzz command.

Oh yeah, beware that you will need to update your fuzznet.cfg to blasto as well.

 

[The Man In Black]

Thothie, your way is so much less entertaining
