[SOLVED] Per map setting?

Game admins,

I wonder whether it's possible to have a per-map balance setting. Many maps are ported from other games, and some of them requires a bit of modification to make sense. For example, I would like to turn off fall damages for maps with high surfaces.

Is this possible? For example, perhaps there's a way to get the name of the next map, and use that to trigger some alias to set a bunch of variables.

Thanks a lot.

Need to put it into the mapinfo:

Code:

settemp_for_type all <cvar>

Thanks, @Mirio. I'll test it out and mark this as solved after I figure it out.

Thanks, @Mirio. Worked like a charm.

For anybody who wants to do the same thing, here's a small script to batch add necessary settings to a bunch of pk3 files.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl # this script extracts mapinfo files from the given pk3, # then add custom settings to the end of the mapinfo file, # and then repack it back to the pk3 and delete the temp file my $custom_settings = <<'END'; // prevent any kind of motion damage (bump into a wall, falling, etc.) settemp_for_type all g_balance_falldamage_maxdamage 0 END my %filename; $filename{'pk3'} = $ARGV[0]; if (!$filename{'pk3'}) { die "$0 mapfile.pk3\n"; } elsif (!-e $filename{'pk3'}) { die("file not found\n"); } my $cmd = "/usr/bin/7z x -y \"$filename{'pk3'}\" maps/\\*.mapinfo"; my @cmd_output = split("\n", `$cmd`); foreach my $fname (@cmd_output) { if ($fname =~ s|^Extracting\s+||) { open(my $fh, ">>$fname"); print $fh $custom_settings; close($fh); `/usr/bin/7za a -y \"$filename{'pk3'}\" "$fname"`; unlink("$fname"); } }

Here's an example of how I used it to add no-fall-damage setting to all World of Padman maps.

Code:

$ mkdir temp $ cd temp $ for i in ~/.xonotic/custom_maps/wop/*wop*.pk3; do ~/bin/nofalldamage.pl "$i"; done $ cd .. $ rm -rf temp
