title sums it up. I am trying to disable cheats on my server, but it is not working. I have put in set cheats 0 and cheats still work. What am I doing wrong, or is it just not possible to disable cheats in coop? -- Margolis http://www.agqx.org/faqs/AGQ2FAQ.htm http://www.agqx.org/faqs/AGQ3FAQ.htm http://www.agutng.org.uk/

This can not be changed during runtime. It is set during startup. You will need to restart the server.

I tried with that on the shortcut line and also tried it with "set cheats 0" in my server.cfg file before I posted and neither stop the cheats. -- Margolis http://www.agqx.org/faqs/AGQ2FAQ.htm http://www.agqx.org/faqs/AGQ3FAQ.htm http://www.agutng.org.uk/

I've just started a coop server locally, with cheats 0, and it worked as it should. Which command line did you use to launch the server ? quake 2 +set deathmatch 1 +set coop 1 +set cheats 0 +.... ? Or maybe you forgot to execute the server config, in case you got all the settings in there? quake2 +set deathmatch 1 +exec server.cfg +.... The only config that quake 2 will execute automatically is autoexec.cfg. All others have to be executed with the exec command. There must be a basic thing you have forgotten.

You can use "disconnect" for a listenserver, then change settings, and use "reconnect" to restart it. But a dedicated server has nothing else it can disconnect from :) Well, try to put all important server options on the command line .... D:\Quake2\quake2.exe +set dedicated 1 +set coop 1 +set cheats 0 +set skill 2 +exec server.cfg Everything should work that way. Very strange. There must be a very basic and perhaps hilarious error somewhere. Something that will make you laugh when you find what it is. But I can't tell what it could be right now.

Hmm, I've never played coop, so I wasn't sure. I tried to run a coop server on localhost, both dedicated and listen. Didn't work. Tried with bat file and config, and also with frontend. Tried with several sourceportsports, 3.20 and 3.21. Cheats were always enabled, even if "cheats" had a value of 0. Yeah, exactly the way you know it. Hate to say it, but it really looks like you can't disable cheats in coop games :P

>>From the Cmd_Give_f function in g_cmds.c:
if (deathmatch->value && !sv_cheats->value)
{
gi.cprintf (ent, PRINT_HIGH, "You must run the server with '+set cheats
1' to enable this command.\n");
return;
}
In other words, if it's deathmatch and cheats are off, it will refuse your
"give" command. Otherwise (e.g. coop) it will honor it. The other cheats are
coded the same way.
