How to speed up single player testing

It was mentioned in another thread that it was a pain always having to wait/type in commands to start testing in single player, so I created a quick config file (and added it to SVN (rev #1556)) to help you guys out.

This is already on your PC the ONLY thing you need to do to run this is typing the following command in console:

It makes setup changes and also includes other commands which you may find useful.

These are (note commands preceded by // are not activated when the script is run and are there for your reference):

Whilst it should be ok to use this most of the time please remember it changes the default game and therefore it will need a bit of testing without running it (that can mostly be done in organised testing sessions)


Also if you are having problems finding a command a useful command is: find <keyword> which will list all commands containing your keyword (and cvarlist emp_)

 

Change commander vote time to 1. Sometimes it gets iffy when you set it to 0. Also, there's another underscore between instant and build in emp_sv_debug_instant_build.

I'd add emp_sv_wait_phase_time 1 or something as well.

 

Is that the command for conquest maps? I tried it at 0 but it didnt work.

Ill sort it all out now and update it

 

This is pure win

 

It doesn't update dynamically, you need to put it in before you join a team. Maybe even before you start the map.

 

Between starting the map and joining a team.
It won't work if you do it before the map has loaded, and it won't affect the timer once it's started after joining a team.

 

God bless you, wealthy.

What's the one that turns off auto balance?

 

mp_autoteambalance I think. I'll add it to the script at some point

Edit: Nevermind. I've just done it. Update SVN (rev 1568) to get the new file.

Edit 2: Thats also a good example of a time when using the "find <keyword>" command would come in useful

PS. Silk, Even though I'm used to entering most of these by hand I wouldn't have thought of making a config if Lazybum hadn't of complained about the waiting time in another thread. It's definitely a lot easier though.

If theres any more commands that need added then let me know

 

If these commands were pasted into server.cfg, would they execute automatically?

I'm having some trouble figuring whether server.cfg or listensever.txt control the starting settings of a server.

 

You're a tester, test it

 

I'll test the android port that you're cooking up.

Yeah, trying to keep that secret, eh? I'm onto you, candles.

 

You're right.

I love you.

DDD.

I.

Love.

You.

EDIT Candles, I'm still waiting on that Android port. I'll give you an entire week since you're also pretending to work on the SDK 2013 port.

 

Pfffft,

Im still waiting for the savior of the franchise, HaskellPires.

 

Added sv_specspeed to increase spectator movement speed, will update automatically when you update SVN (if anyone is still using it)

 

svn ... no
exec testing ... yes

 

yeah its also on the live steam build but itll be RC5 before it does specspeed aswell if you are using it with that
