This cvar keeps resetting itself to 1 for some reason, even though it does not change from 0 in my config.cfg, every time I hop into a new server or switch map, I have to set this cvar back to 0. I've tried using cfg_save several times after setting it back also, but still I get the same problem.

Someone please help if you can, because I quite often forget to set this only to find that I have to stop early game just to reset it to how I like it.

The default config has the line exec cfg/hud_dithes_full in it, which has countdown 1 in it. If that is the problem just find and delete that line.

Problem fixed, thanks.

Is that in nQuake?

yeh

Thanks, that solved my problem as well (HUD reset after each map change)

Bump - this gets asked a lot, is there anything we could do to make it more obvious in nquake?

How about removing that stuff in the first place for the nQuake installation?

There is no line that execs dithes config anymore in default.cfg nor in autoexec.cfg. Default gameclock is also to count up.

I did find the following in nQuake/prox/configs/config.cfg though, starting on line 2444:


``
alias on_enter "exec cfg/hud_dithes_full.cfg;exec configs/dm.cfg;vid_vsync 0.0"
alias on_enter_ctf "exec cfg/hud_dithes_full.cfg;exec configs/ctf.cfg;vid_vsync 0.0"
alias on_enter_ffa "exec cfg/hud_dithes_full.cfg;exec configs/dm.cfg;vid_vsync 0.0"
``

Could this have any effect?

Sure, but this is probably from an old nQuake installation?

Edit: oh, didn't see /prox/ in the path at first, is that the clan arena mod? :}

No, fresh install.
