Configuring a Lan Game

[slimjhady]

Hello,
My classmates and I love playing this game in our computer lab however we are having trouble setting up the game. I thought i would post here to see if i could find some answers.

Our main issue is that we do not know to configure the game so that in order to speed up you have to grind. In the way we play normally we all go at the same speed no matter if we are near a wall or not and we only speed up a little while grinding. Secondly i have played some online games where there is a delay when you hit a wall so you do not die right away and are able to get out of tight fixes. Does anyone know how to set it up this way

If any of you know how to solve this, your help would be greatly appreciated and would make our free periods a lot more fun. =)

Hi and welcome to the forums.


For the "time stuck to wall" issue.
By default,

Code: Select all

cycle_rubber

is set to 1. This is what causes the "delay" when you hit a wall and die. With 1 rubber, you die immediately. If you type this into console:

Code: Select all

cycle_rubber 10

you will have a little more time on the wall before dying. You can make this settings to what ever you want! Try it at 100!! You can stay against a wall for maybe 10 seconds!


For the speed issue.

Code: Select all

CYCLE_ACCEL_RIM

Code: Select all

CYCLE_ACCEL

Code: Select all

CYCLE_ACCEL_ENEMY

Code: Select all

CYCLE_ACCEL_SELF

Code: Select all

CYCLE_ACCEL_TEAM

Code: Select all

CYCLE_ACCEL_TUNNEL

Set any of those commands to what ever you want. Settings them all to about 5 will probably be fast enough if not too fast!


Finally, check this out for more about Armagetron Advanced and also try this out for a list of nearly 1000 console commands!

Good Luck!

No Problem.
I am glad to see this game spreading to classrooms by teachers!
If only my school would allow me to download games/unblock games from the computers.

P.S. Make sure to look over the wiki. The website is loaded with information about almost everything in Armagetron.

If you have any more questions, you are welcome to ask anytime.

P.P.S. When playing online; be aware of vulgar language because it will be there. Make sure to warn your students

Good Luck,

Doesn't look like he is a teacher, more like a student.

Good point. He did say classmates instead of students.

Let me rephrase that:
