The key to Oz Deathmatch is the config files
with console variables. The server admin or anyone with rcon can change things while the game is in progress.
The included config files are executed upon load, but other config files that you make can
be executed anytime during the game. Almost all changes take effect immediately,
unless it has to do with things like respawn times or player characteristics. Those
will take effect after the player dies or the items are picked up once.
To execute your own .cfg file you can do
two things:
At the end of the
multiplayer.cfg file, place these lines: "exec name.cfg"
When the multiplayer.cfg file is
automatically loaded by Half-Life, your own special cfg will be executed also.
Another way to do it is while in game. Simply pull down the console with the tilde (
~ ) key and type: "exec name.cfg" As said above, almost all the
changes will take place instantly.
We removed the console variable list from this page because the the config files themselves will tell you what each variable does.
