Hi
I see in an old post from Foyleman that he got showtris working in SoF1

I have disabled multitexturing and set showtris to 1

In the console before I load a map - showtris cvar is definitely set to 1, but when I load the map it changes back to "0" and cannot be set to 1

From some other hints - I have tried it in developer mode and not in developer mode , set cheats to 1 also + trying vid_restart...

In the PC I have a Radeon 9800 Pro

I have also tried default open GL + 3DFX open GL

Any ideas?

whew. long time since I worked with sof1.

Could it be the method you are using to load the map. Newer games require that you specify that the map is being loaded by a developer. Now, I don't remember a 'devmap' console option in sof1... but I think I remember something about specifying 'developer 1'.

You are on the right path trying to get cheats enabled. You're right that it has something to do with the permissions of the running map.

Sorry - as usually happens - i tried something and it worked

You only need to disable multitextures and set showtris to 1

You must then load the map as single player - which entails you having an info_player_start in the map

showtris does not seem to work in dm mode...


...and I used default open GL

i believe you can get this to work in dm by renaming "gl_showtris" in sof.exe. there may or may not be more than one time it shows up in the file though, so be careful what you change :)
