Title: Weapon set refresh
Post by: mr9v9 on February 08, 2015, 05:17:32 am
Sorry if this has been covered before, but I run a custom server and will execute a .cfg that includes change to the weapon set. In this case it would be
Code: [Select]
ge_weaponset Lasers
The problem i run into is it stays in this mode even though the map has changed, or game mode has changed. So I use
Code: [Select]
ge_weaponset random_loadout
because it's the only one I know that works to "correct" the issue.
Am I going about this all wrong? is there a better way to execute a custom loadout and have it go back to a default set?
Any help and ideas are welcome, I run sourcemod so other types of scripting are an option.
Thanks!

That is the way you're supposed to go about this.

You mean the default mode is ge_weaponset random_loadout?
I could have sworn there are other ways...

Then you swore wrong.

Is there a way to have the game automatically select random weapon sets from only the custom sets folder every time a new round begins, and leave out the default sets? And then to automatically proceed to cycle those random custom sets after a round that I have manually changed the weapon set? My script-fu is not so good.

If you change the weapon set in the current map, it will stay that set throughout the whole map.  If you want it to go back to a random loadout when the map has changed, just add ge_weaponset random_loadout to your server.cfg.

You can only use defined weapon sets based on the game mode.  You can't have it pick custom sets the first round and then a random_loadout the next.
