General Questions - editing config in game Anonymous - Mon Nov 24, 2003 4:01 pm Post subject: editing config in game
hi. I'm a newb at zone making.
I'm trying to change some of the server.cfg settings in my testing zone.
I logged in as sysop and hit ESC C to change settings.
Q1. I'v changed values and saved successfully, but changes don't seem to appear instantly. Sometimes I have to wait for a minute or so to see actual changes. Sometimes I wait more than one minute but nothing is changed for long time, I hit ESC C again and checked the values, the values I are unchanged. (Of course I know F10)
I guess there may be some 'update cycle' for the server settings, how long is this, and how can I change this to see changes more quickly?
Q2. what is ?set command? and what is exact syntax?

?set is the method for one-at-a-time settings editing, allowing people to do things from the chat window without going thorugh too much trouble. its synta is this: "?set Field:Variable=Value" ex "?set Door:DoorMode=255"

Note that its ?set Door:DoorMode, with no s on Door.
As for the update time, it seems to be based on the host computer's speed. I believe that the ESC + C values are pulled from memory, so that means it wont have new values until the arenas settings do.

enter the arena, change sets, then move out and ?go back to it
