Scripting

Some simple scripting extensions was add

Enabling scripting:

cmd_scripting 1

This is archive cvar, it will be saved.

Console variables

Console variables (or CVars) are present in all quake-based games.

By default, it is settings, created by engine, server or client libraries.

But you can use set command to define variiables even if they are not created by engine.

For example, you can set cvar before it is registered in code.

set defaultmap crossfire

This works even in server.cfg before server cvars initialization, and engine will reuse it's value on cvar creation

Aliases

Alias allows to define new commands.

alias wnext "invnext;wait;wait;+attack;wait;-attack"

You can hook any command by adding alias to it and unaliasing it, when you want to use original command.

alias invnext1 "unalias invnext;wnext;alias invnext invnext1"
alias invnext invnext1

CVar substitution

This is extension of xash3d fork, that can be enabled by cmd_scripting cvar

You can substitute cvar value to any command by adding $ symbol:

echo $sv_cheats

Condition checking

Other extension, that allows check cvar values.

if <value1> <operator> <value2>
:<action1>
:if <value3>
::<action2>
:<action3>

• Values are any string or numeric values (for example, substituted cvars).
• Operator is = (or ==), !=, <, >, <=, >=. == is same to =.
• If single value specified, condition is true when value is non-zero

Example:

if $sv_cheats == 1
:echo Cheats enabled, adding cheat menu
:exec cheatmenu.cfg
else
:echo Please enable cheats to use this!
