'games' text file

[Berash]

Okay, I know what my problem is, but I don't know what causes it.

When I play, my game automatically makes a text file called ''games'' The problem with this file is that it causes me to have max cvar errors forcing me to close my game, go and delete every instance I can find of it.

it's essentially appears to be a log file of what I'm doing in game, items I pick up, people I kill/am killed by. here's an example of what's in the file.

ClientUserinfoChanged: 0 n\^1<^0Berash^1>\t\0\model\sarge\c1\\c2\q\hc\100\w\0\l\0\a\0\f\0\nick\\c\0
0.5 ClientConnect: 1
0.5 ClientUserinfoChanged: 1 n\35^5.^4Doom^7\t\0\model\doom\c1\9\c2\4\hc\100\w\0\l\0\a\0\nick\Doom\c\0\skill\35.00
0.5 ClientBegin: 1
0.7 ClientUserinfoChanged: 0

now I will also point out this fact, its not limited to one particular mod or even quake 3 itself. any game based on the quake 3 engine that I play has this problem.

how do I keep this file from coming back?

It is a game log file, and intended for generating servers stats.

But since most of us don't need it, it is a bit useless to us.


Open your config file (for each mod)
find the line:

seta g_log "games.log"

and change it to:

seta g_log " "

with a space between the quotes. Save it and there you go.

Then, if you like, you can make a blank text file, name it games.log and make it read only. :icon14:
