rpgxEF and wonderful random config resets [CLOSED]

[Danfun64]

Hello. It seems to me that rpgxEF seems to reset the game's configuration every few uses.It also happens when I switch dlls between the version you use for your rpgxEF enhanced servers and the latest version. This problem does not occur in vanilla RPG-X, or for that matter, ANY ioquake3 based game. Is this a known issue? If not, what info should I post?

[Veritas]

This is a known issue, but one that is notoriously hard to track down. If you apply to join and become a full member, you can try RPGXCE 1.2.5 RC1, which updates RPGXCE to include rpgxEF and helps significantly with this problem - though it does not fix it entirely.

Other than that, you may be able to fix it by running rpgxEF as administrator, and by using a shortcut with the following target:

"+set FS_GAME RPG-X2 +set FS_HOMEPATH "[install directory]" "

I gotta say Pie that this did not solve the problem for me

[Veritas]

It's all we've got right now; this is partially an rpgxEF issue.

[Danfun64]

Does this problem affect dedicated servers? How would it affect banlists? I'm not sure I would want to play or host a game with that kind of uncertainty.

[Veritas]

No, the problem does not affect dedicated servers or ban lists - nor does it affect non-rpgxEF installations, such as RPGXCE Original. rpgxEF is still very much under active development, so there will be bugs. That's why TLO offers both RPG-X and rpgxEF servers

The only permanent solution to this is to create an autoexec.cfg file with all of your settings as commands. This way, the game will load everything on start-up. Here's mine, as an example:

Obviously, there are a lot of admin commands here that you're not going to need. You can fool around with the in-game menus and adjust the autoexec accordingly.

r_textureMode has different options that determine whether or not it's bilinear or trilinear filtering. I believe GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST is bilinear, while GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR is trilinear.

rate determines your network speed. 20000 is the in-game setting for CABLE/LAN/xDSL.

CG_DeferPlayers 0 makes it so other players' models will load instantly on switch, instead of requiring you to hit tab and refresh the client data every time.
