Customizing The Game, COD4

[sacgate]

It "appears" that there are a whole lot of customizing commands available that need DVARs added to Globallogic in order to use them.

Could you expand BJR's next release to include these scripts? I tried my hand at it but for the most part I get "script errors".

I hope my premise about globallogic is correct. I'm making the statement based on the fact that so far I have managed to turn off the names above the player and also the crosshairs even in standard warfare.

Well, I saw your thread on the IW forums about names showing up above enemies. The solution they gave there, however, will get rid of all names above everyone, even your teammates. I would like to keep the names above my teammates while getting rid of the names above my enemies.

I will have to look into this all.

What more was there to be customized, as you were talking about "...a whole lot of customizing commands..."?

We only play LAN and free for all so I can see where some of my suggestions or wants would not be applicable to most folks. Hope you'll bear with me on this.

As I looked down the list of DVAR commands I got the impression that there would be many such commands available. I'll make a "wish list" of sorts and post it here.

My next target is to get rid of the grenade indicator and I'd also like to remove the red indicator that tells you which direction the enemy is when they hit you. Also, that split second of kill cam that shows when you get killed would be nice to get rid of.

Well, BJR focuses on the hardcore game mode exclusively. In this mode, there are no grenade indicators, so my advice would be to play on hardcore.

The red indicator might be doable, I have to check that.

And you can turn off killcam in the config file with a cvar. If I'm not mistaken, it's scr_game_allowkillcam.

Yes I realize that (about hardcore) but we are trying to get a cross between the two. Kill cam has been turned off in our file however there is still a split second view that gives you away. It was also there in COD2.
Removing the red indicator would be great. The fewer clues given out the better (in our world).
Maybe I should try a new tact. Start with Hardcore and see if certain aspects could be turned back on. It's worth a shot.

I'd like to get rid of the screen clutter by removing things like the unused ranking bar and unnecessary score yet keep ammo display (smaller) and add in a health indicator such as the mod DAMN added (but a lot less imposing).

We're just tinkering. BJR's fall damage, no health regeneration, view shift, weapon drop, etc have become the norm for us which is why we are trying to get COD4 to behave more like the COD2 version we have grown accustom too.
