Secondary weapon - single gun by default [CVAR]

[Lagging Noob]

Hey all,

 

Whenever i enter the game (EDIT: on NOQ1 only), switch class or switch team, my slot 2 weapon reset to default single gun and not the akimbo.

Therefore i need to reselect it on top of reselecting the primary weapon if necessary, every single time.

I don't have this problem with other mods (at least not public or jaymod)

Is it normal? Is it just me? Is there any way around? 

 

Thanks in advance for any help !!

PS: i did a basic scan for existing discussion on this topic, sorry if it is already dealt with in another thread.

Lol I have been wondering about this as well but only in opposites. I prefer the single pistol over the akimbo 😛

@Lagging Noob. @Shoresy
 

Here you go boiz:

 

/cg_limbo_secondary 2
 

0 - single pistol

1 - akimbo

2 - smg for soldier/ akimbo 

 

 

Edit: Oh, you Shoresy asked probably for other mods. I think it is NQ only cvar but you can try anyway.

I had never seen an "N_" cvar before, so I checked and found this in all the mods I tried:  jay, silent, nq.  It must be an ET cvar.  Did those 'guys' think of everything over 20 years ago? 

 

That is the only "n_" cvar, that TAB finds, too.  

[Shoresy]

Yeah the /Seta n_ does not work for me. 

 

On Silent the /cg_limbo_secondary Command works but the value seems to not work lol. It sees the command but doesn't change anything. Least not by /kill it doesn't change my loadout 😛

The default is "1".  This might not be related to weapons, but to something in the Limbo display or menu???  (checked in Jaymod).  That is the only cg_Limbo command,  

 

ADDED:  I did not find it in the FA list of ET cvars : Enemy Territory CVARS - COMMANDS - Fearless Assassins (fearless-assassins.com)

Lol strange, default in Silent is 0 😄

The fact that I had not seen the "n_*" cvar before caused I had to check it. It turned out that there is no such cvar in the WET, NQ, ETL, Legacy and Jaymod code. Well, it turns out that this cvar only appears in Nitmod. The client suggests it to us because we have a nitmod folder in fs_homepath.

 

And probably the same is with cg_limbo_secondary (NQ only cvar).

Thank you, Kind Sir!  I was going to do that search later, but you seem to have gotten it done very quickly.  That makes more sense of the "n_" cvar now! 😄 

 

ADDED:  I just checked our Nitmod server and "n_guid" is the only other "n_" cvar there.

Hi TomekKromek 

thats TAB search ET legacy, how come this "n" cvar appear in my console then ? if there is no such cvar in ET   

[TomekKromek]

You joined once one of the Nitmod servers and you got this cvar in your config and now you have it everywhere. You can do clean install and you won't see it there.

 

Look below. I have nice cvar there - devs 20 years ago forseen that!

😄 at that!  😄 

 

I have an "r_primites" in my configs.  I suspect that I once spelled "r_primitives" wrong! 😮 I am not absolutely sure, so I left it alone.

 

I like your "Mystery Cvar" much better! 😄
