Map config

Map config #

Featureful SDK allows maps to have the config file listing the starting given to the player when the map is started via map console command or via the New game menu dialog. The equipment won’t be given if player entered the map via the trigger_changelevel.

Create a file with a name like mapname.cfg where the mapname is a name of the map file (without .bsp extension).

The sole presence of map config file makes the game to give player a suit.

You can also configure the starting equipment on the map itself, via game_player_settings entity. This however requires map rebuilding if you want to make changes.

Format #

Each piece of equipment is defined by one line in the file.

Player parameters #

  • startarmor - specify the starting armor.
  • starthealth - specify the starting health.
  • maxhealth - maximum player’s health.
  • maxarmor - maximum player’s armor.

Example:

startarmor 20
starthealth 50

weapon_crowbar
weapon_9mmhandgun
weapon_357
weapon_9mmAR
weapon_shotgun
