Quake III Console Expert needed, I'M STUCK!

[old.Atomicone]

Hi there!

I hope you can answer this,

If I want to change a variable in a Quake 3, or in a Quake 3 powered game (the one I am trying to change is "r_ext_multitexture" I want to change it from "1" to "0") and that particular variable is stated by the console as read only, is it possible that I can take off the read only protection?

Cheers

not being an expert on such things i can only guess but maybe its a cheat protection thing. there are a few variables i tried to add to my config.cfg file only to have them not load on a particular server because the server was cheat protected.
on macs, when we try to add variables, we make text documents, then add the code and save as "autoexec.cfg"
then during game play, we open the console, and type "/exec autoexec.cfg" and hit return. maybe try that and see if it will allow you to change the variable that way.
hope this helps.

look in your q3config.cfg using wordpad

I have an autoexec.cfg in all of my q3 mod folders that is tweaked for that specific mod. It takes some time to get it all sorted but once its done you never have to do it again. That variable is in the q3config so you'll have to change it there.
