Does anyone here know what happened to the coding forum?

And do you know if cl_maxpackets is sent to the server (and how to do it if not)?

It got nuked because nobody posted in it IIRC.

No. You could wrap it in a configstring. Check CG_NewClientInfo in cg_players.c for an example.

PS: most of the remnants of the Q3A coding scene can be found over at the PlanetQuake forums.

Ideally, I would pput it in the USERINFO config string, but there's no way for me to actually do taht :-(

And thanks for the link.

That's what I meant but I should've been a bit clearer about it. Here you go, add this to CG_RegisterCvars in cg_main.c.

Code: Select all

char maxpackets[MAX_CVAR_VALUE_STRING];
trap_Cvar_VariableStringBuffer( "maxpackets", maxpackets, sizeof( maxpackets ) );
trap_Cvar_Register( NULL, "maxpackets", maxpackets, CVAR_USERINFO );

And pick it up in ClientUserinfoChanged in g_client.c (store it somewhere or whatever you want to do with it).
