r_customheigth vs r_customheight

[anal bomb]

i have an annoying problem. Always if i start ET, it starts with heigth 1024, although i havent set this value nowhere in my cfg and as u can see on the screenshot its also misspelled.

 

 

r_customheight = 1024

English isn't my primary language but I think height is the correct spelling and not heigth (even Google and spellchecker confirm this). I presume you are using r_mode -1 so that would be why game starts with 1024 height.

Sunlight explained this in another topic:

 

if you have a cvar in *your* config then it will show, it will be autocompleted with tab, etc.

 

The only way to know if a cvar exists in et (and now we have also the source code, but not etpro's so this method is still the only one) is to check inside et.exe (for the engine) or the dlls in the mods (mod specific cvar), as ReyalP (or was it bani?) had pointed out in etpro forums centuries ago.

 

I checked, and there is no trace of r_picmip2 anywhere. So it doesn't exist. (Of course you can't do this with encrypted mods like the now dead antipro, etc. but you can with all other mods, etpro included).

 

That cvar is in your config... and it was in mine too, before I made some cleanup of useless cvars. Everyone just copies from other player's cfgs before learning how to do his own. It's normal.

 

Hope this clarifies the matter.

 

Basically, you probably mistyped the cvar at one point in time, so ET now considers it a "real" cvar. However, only /r_customheight exists.

yea right. heigth does not exist. so now i know whats wrong. Stupid question afterwards!

 

deleted etconfig in etpub now it works.

 

 

next step is to write a start.bat for et, which disables the win-key. its sooooooo annoying if i press win-key (by mistake) and a number and it opens all my music software in the background or tv or whatever, whats in the shortcuts of my taskbar....
