-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] The client has the built in server (which has it's own sv_pure cvar), so you would probably either need rcon to check it, or some plugin to alert the players what setting it is at (such as zBlock). Don't get me wrong, I see what' you're trying to say, but there's lots of other cvars out there that aren't replicated to the client.
Matthew Kerswill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, RE: Adam Sando - point 3: I was typing the sv_pure command without rcon. I was simply typing it in the console. Let's look at an example such as sv_consistency. When you type 'sv_consistency' in the console, it shows whatever value the server has it set to. If you try and change it by typing it with a parameter after it (eg: 'sv_consistency 0'), you would receive an error saying "Can't change replicated ConVar sv_consistency from console of client, only server operator can change its value". I would have expected a command like sv_pure to exhibit the same behaviour. However, typing 'sv_pure' in the client console does not necessarily display the server's setting and you are able to change the value on the client by adding a parameter on the end (eg: sv_pure 0), although doing this has no effect on anything. RE: Adam Heath: Yeah, you can add it on the command line but I would say that the autoexec.cfg file is a more convenient way of doing it. You wouldn't want too many commands stuck in your BAT file that you use to start the server. Ciao, Matthew Kerswill.

It is basically doing the same as putting it in your server.cfg or autoexec.cfg Regards Adam Heath www.Power-Frag.co.uk The Power to Frag, for LESS!
