hi there,

i wanted to ask if there is a similar cmd for sof2 to the varMath cmd from q3 ... a friend of mine uses that for making q3 movies and i would like to use it too, e.g. for fov :

bind x "varMath cg_fov +1"
bind y "varMath cg_fov -1"

i tried it with varMath in sof2, but it said unknown command... so if anybody knows that cmd for sof2 i would be very happy... thx in advance

What does varMath do?

well the first bind raises fov with +1 , e.g. from 80 to 81, and the other one is to decrease again... that works in q3 with every cmd like that, e.g. cg_thirdpersonrange etc...

I would pm this guy: http://forums.ravensoft.com/ib....3183918

Well the command isn't standard in SoF II or Q3A...you can how ever write a script that will do the same thing...just will be bulker is all.

yes of course, and i know your scripts and some other scripts but the thing is, i want to do that manually, like the turn around the player or raising the range and so on, and because i dont know how to write these scripts this cmd would be very usefull. i know your 3rdperson script which lets u do that stuff manually, but the steps are to high, e.g. from cg_thirdpersonYAW 10 to cg_thirdpersonYAW 20, that looks pretty bad when u make a movie with that because its not going very smooth if u know what i mean. if your 3rdpersonscript would be in +1 and -1 steps that would be perfect...

Well the best thing to do would be to write Mod authors and see if they can add the command to their mod. Short of that you'll ether have to edit mine or some one else's scripts or create your own.

ok, thanx for the tip nologic, im gonna ask the peeps at osp if they can add the command. but for now i edited your 3rdpersonscript. i splitted it into 4 scripts and put each of them in 1 cfg, so now i got 4 cfgs, 1 for tpr, 1 tpy, 1 tpp and 1 tph. i edited all that the steps are now +/- 2 and the problem now is that the cfgs are too big... well 2 of them can be loaded, but when i want them all to be loaded by my autoexec, sof wont start, and the green console in the beginning says MAX_CVARS ... so i shortened the tph from -180/+180 to -160/+160 and tpr from 0/360 to 0/300 but that didnt help... got any idea what i could do ? thx in advance ...

####, I hope you figure this out--might be useful for others.

If someone is interested, here is the code I wrote to do some more thirdperson control and fov handling withotu overloaded megalarge scripts. Only a few changes in cg_consolecmds.c are needed:

Added functions:

Code Sample

// Deltaray's MOVIE MOD static void CG_Fov_up ( void ) { if (cg_fov.value < 200) { cg_fov.value++; } } static void CG_Fov_down ( void ) { if (cg_fov.value > 0) { cg_fov.value--; } } static void CG_ThirdpersonHorzOffset_up ( void ) { if (cg_thirdPerson.value == 1) { cg_thirdPersonHorzOffset.value++; } } static void CG_ThirdpersonHorzOffset_down ( void ) { if (cg_thirdPerson.value == 1) { cg_thirdPersonHorzOffset.value--; } } static void CG_ThirdpersonRange_up ( void ) { if (cg_thirdPerson.value == 1) { cg_thirdPersonRange.value++; } } static void CG_ThirdpersonRange_down ( void ) { if (cg_thirdPerson.value == 1) { cg_thirdPersonRange.value--; } } static void CG_ThirdpersonYAW_up ( void ) { if (cg_thirdPerson.value == 1) { cg_thirdPersonYaw.value++; } } static void CG_ThirdpersonYAW_down ( void ) { if (cg_thirdPerson.value == 1) { cg_thirdPersonYaw.value--; } } static void CG_ThirdpersonPitch_up ( void ) { if (cg_thirdPerson.value == 1 && cg_thirdPersonPitch.value < 78) { cg_thirdPersonPitch.value++; // cg_thirdPersonPitch.modificationCount++; } } static void CG_ThirdpersonPitch_down ( void ) { if (cg_thirdPerson.value == 1 && cg_thirdPersonPitch.value > -103) { cg_thirdPersonPitch.value--; // cg_thirdPersonPitch.modificationCount++; } } // Deltaray's MOVIE MOD

Add these definitions to 'static consoleCommand_t commands[] = " struct'

Code Sample

// Deltaray's MOVIE MOD { "fov_up", CG_Fov_up }, { "fov_down", CG_Fov_down }, { "thirdpersonHorzOffset_up", CG_ThirdpersonHorzOffset_up }, { "thirdpersonHorzOffset_down", CG_ThirdpersonHorzOffset_down }, { "thirdpersonRange_up", CG_ThirdpersonRange_up }, { "thirdpersonRange_down", CG_ThirdpersonRange_down }, { "thirdpersonYAW_up", CG_ThirdpersonYAW_up }, { "thirdpersonYAW_down", CG_ThirdpersonYAW_down }, { "thirdpersonPitch_up", CG_ThirdpersonPitch_up }, { "thirdpersonPitch_down", CG_ThirdpersonPitch_down }, // Deltaray's MOVIE MOD

Then you will be able to control 3rd person cvars by using this commands:
cvar: cg_fov
fov_up
fov_down

cvar: cg_thirdpersonHorzOffset
thirdpersonHorzOffset_up
thirdpersonHorzOffset_down

cvar: cg_thirdpersonRange
thirdpersonRange_up
thirdpersonRange_down

cvar: cg_thirdpersonYAW
thirdpersonYAW_up
thirdpersonYAW_down

cvar: cg_thirdpersonPitch
thirdpersonPitch_up
thirdpersonPitch_down

If someone wants the compiled qvm's with only these changes and some other, kindly PM me.
