Default value of CAMERA_SMART_GLANCE_CUSTOM

Post by Z-Man »

Straightforward question. Please download beta2 if you have not aleady done so (the corresponding feature is broken in beta1 and earlier), open settings.cfg in an editor and try both options, zero or one. They affect the way glancing works when you're using the smart camera (I'm not telling what they do exactly to avoid creating a bias towards one or the other). Come back here and say which variant you like better.

(Apparently, "0" alone is not a legal poll option here...)

could not spot a difference, do I have to restart the game or can I change the configuration ingame and use the new setting in the next round ?

It should have an immediate effect on all three glance keys, you don't have to wait for the round to end if you entered it at the console. Oh, it's a clientside option, changing it on the server has no effect.

I hate 1
I just downloaded the new beta after convincing from Luci, and when I opened it, the glance was the first thing I noticed. I much prefer 0, 1 was distracting. I'm not sure if it's due to the fact that I'm used to old one, or if I actually prefer it over the new. All I know is that I spent the first 5 mins I had it open, trying to figure out the console code for it. I just couldn't play with 1. 0's much better.

Did I give away too much? If so, sorry.

Ditto. Probably because I only use the smart cam.

I should probably vote now. At first I thought 0 was better, it was what I was used to. But for maze maps like I've got on the Crack Pipe, 1 is really nice. So now I'm used to 1 and it's really helpful.

Also I should mention, that it wont stay set to 0. I have to re-enter it everytime I open it. Did I do it wrong, or is that a bug?

You need to change the value in your settings.cfg. Then it will stick.

I voted for 1, because, er, I like it more.

Looks like it's going to have to be a menu option so far, no overwhelming majority for either side.

Wait, are we sure that 1 and 0 are the same for everyone?

Well, if everyone used beta2 (not beta1 where it was broken) as reference, we can be pretty sure.
