Map Configuration

New CVars in this mod for use in map CFG files. For server CVars, see the Server Settings wiki.

CVar	Description
custom_ammo	Register a custom ammo entity. Takes a path to an ammo config as a parameter. Example: custom_weapon aomdc/ammo_beretta would load the config at weapons/aomdc/ammo_beretta.txt.
custom_ammo_alias	Add an alias for an ammo entity registered with custom_ammo. Useful for porting maps that use inconsistent classnames (ammo_gun and ammo_Gun).
custom_weapon	Register a custom weapon. Takes a path to a weapon config as a parameter. Example: custom_weapon aomdc/weapon_axe would load the config at weapons/aomdc/weapon_axe.txt. To override the class for a config, add a second parameter. For example, custom_weapon aomdc/weapon_hammer weapon_hammer would register the weapon using the custom class for weapon_hammer instead of the generic weapon_custom_ini. This is used to extend config-based weapons with new server-side logic.
custom_weapon_alias	Add an alias for a weapon registered with custom_weapon. Useful for porting maps that use inconsistent classnames (weapon_gun and weapon_Gun).
entity_remap	Replaces an entity class with something else. Takes <old_classname> and <new_classname> as parameters. For example, entity_remap weapon_crowbar monster_zombie would replace all crowbar entities with zombies.
hl_weapon_remap	Remaps a stock Half-Life weapon to a SevenKewp weapon. Takes <hl_weapon_classname> and <sevenkewp_weapon_classname> as parameters. For example, hl_weapon_remap weapon_9mmhandgun weapon_aom_glock would give a SevenKewp player an AOM glock if they tried to pick up a Half-Life glock.
hud_file	Loads a custom HUD file. You can replace or add new HL25-style icon sets here. The file format matches the default hud.txt file. Paths start in "sprites/". Example: hud_file doom/custom_hud.txt
include_cfg	Executes another map CFG. For porting large campaigns without duplicating cvars.
mp_bigmap	Must be set to 1 for maps that are bigger than the +/-4096 HL grid. Otherwise many effects won't work for HL players. Off by default to save precache slots. bigmap effects don't exactly match the original combat effects. Blood and decals will be disappearing near instantly in areas with lots of action. For SevenKewp players, combat effects look as expected.
mp_blood_color_alien	Change the default color for alien blood (engine palette index)
mp_blood_color_human	Change the default color for human blood (engine palette index)
mp_blood_scale	Change the scale of blood effects
mp_flashlight	New value "2" enables opposing force nightvision.
mp_flashlight_charge	Multiplier for flashlight charge speed. 1 = 100%
mp_flashlight_drain	Multiplier for flashlight drain speed. 1 = 100%
mp_flashlight_size	changes the size of the flashlight Dlight effect.
mp_friendlyfire	Enables friendly fire.
mp_hud_color	Change the default HUD color. Values are 3 digit hex strings (80F = purple).
mp_keep_inventory	Works the same as the keep_inventory keyvalue for trigger_changelevel when set to 1. Kept inventory is added in addition to the map default, and health/armor is restored. When set to 2, the exact state of the player is saved and loaded in the next map. That includes health, armor, active weapon, flashlight battery, and weapon clips. If the player ever dies, their equipment is reset to the map default.
mp_mergemodels	Set to 1 to merge most item world models and reduce model precache count.
mp_npcidletalk	Set to 0 to disable idle talking in monsters like OP4 grunts and scientists. Reduces precache count.
mp_one_pickup_per_player	Disables respawn on all weapons, ammo, and items. Each player can pickup the same item once. Dying and respawning resets the pickup limit for yourself.
mp_max_pvs_corpses	Limit the number of corpses in a VIS zone. A corpse that can see more than sv_max_pvs_corpses other corpses from its perspective will despawn some of those corpses.
mp_quakemap	Aligns monsters and player corpses to the floor, and disables player ducking. Does not fix living players sinking into the ground. Use with Quake 1 BSPs.
mp_soundvariety	Limits sound variety to reduce precache count. 3 = max of 3 sounds per action per monster. 10 is a good starting point to nerf the talking monsters. Then try 3, then 2. 1 will probably be annoying.
mp_startflashlight	Sets whether or not to start with a flashlight, and the starting battery level. Examples: 50 = start with 50% battery and a flashlight 0 = start with 0% battery and a flashlight. -1 = start with 0% battery and NO flashlight. -51 = start with 50% battery and NO flashlight
mp_use_only_pickups	Forces all weapons, ammo, and items to be use-only
mp_weaponhands	Sets the default weapon view model hands. op4 = Opposing Force hands bshift = Blue Shift hands.
sv_ledgesize	How high a ledge can be for a monster to jump down and attack.
sv_stepsize	Change how tall a stair can be for players/monsters to step up without jumping.
sv_vis_test_limit	limits the amount of tests an entity can run to determine its visibility. This usually makes giant brush models visible everywhere in the map. Sometimes sprites are affected too. This greatly reduces CPU usage in some cases. Try values between 1000-8000 to troubleshoot. Set to 0 to disable.
weapon_hud_file	Globally change the default HUD path for a weapon. It works the same as setting a "custom sprite dir" on entities. Example: weapon_hud_file my_map/weapon_shotgun will set the default HUD file for weapon_shotgun to sprites/my_map/weapon_shotgun.txt. HUD files are downloaded by the client, and the file name must match the weapon classname. So, to update the hud, make a versioned folder, don't just edit the text file nor rename it.
