Looking Into Client File Configs

Posts 1–12 of 12 · Page 1 of 1

I found this in BaseGame config o:

Code:

[Engine.GameInfo]
DefaultGame=Engine.GameInfo
DefaultServerGame=Engine.GameInfo
bAdminCanPause=false
MaxPlayers=16
GameDifficulty=+1.0
bChangeLevels=True
MaxSpectators=2
MaxIdleTime=+0.0
;APB - LZ+ Turn on speed hack detection
MaxTimeMargin=+2.0
TimeMarginSlack=+1.35
MinTimeMargin=-2.0
;APB - LZ-

[Engine.AccessControl]
IPPolicies="ACCEPT;*"

[Engine.GameReplicationInfo]
ServerName="Another Server"
ShortName="Server"
MessageOfTheDay=""

[DefaultPlayer]
Name=Player
team=255

[Engine.HUD]
bMessageBeep=true
HudCanvasScale=0.95
ConsoleMessageCount=4
ConsoleFontSize=5
MessageFontOffset=0
bShowHud=true
DebugDisplay=AI

[Engine.PlayerController]
bAimingHelp=false
bDynamicNetSpeed=false
InteractDistance=512
DynamicPingThreshold=+400.0
bCheckRelevancyThroughPortals=true

[Engine.Weapon]
Priority=-1.0

[Engine.WorldInfo]
DefaultGravityZ=-750.0
RBPhysicsGravityScaling=1.0
SquintModeKernelSize=128.0
EmitterPoolClassPath=Engine.EmitterPool

[Engine.UIDataStore_GameResource]
ElementProviderTypes=(ProviderTag="GameTypes",ProviderClassName="Engine.UIGameInfoSummary")


[Engine.UISafeRegionPanel]
RegionPercentages=0.9
RegionPercentages=0.8

anything special?

In APBgame

None. Most of the coders already know about this and were looking at different settings and seeing what they do. The one of most interest is one about "speed hacking" and it appears to be a function that controls the rubberbanding when the game thinks your moving to fast. (Explains why you freeze in place every now and then when trying to run foward)

It's a bit more complicated then that :P

If you can, just play with values. Use a different account though; not your main. If you find anything interesting then come back and post about it here. If it's a pretty good find, I'll make an AutoIt script with a gui that lets you modify the proper settings quickly and efficiently, and put your name in as part of the window title and as a Credits label next to a "Commit changes" button.

If there's one for input rates somewhere, it might be possible to macro around certain refire limitations as I understand is a global glitch exploitable in the UE3 engine when certain actions are canceled in between primary inputs. (just putting that out there for anyone else who who might already be bypassing that stuff/PB)

This prevents the graphics from becoming ridiculously simplistic and way to easy to spot targets and other objects, of course this is assumption, but it appears to be that way.

As for macros, I wouldn't know anything about it. I do know my RF macro can do some pretty "Strange" things even without changing game settings. Each weapon has a special sweet spot Down/Up value and when found, you can do some pretty weird things. I can set it up to have my HVR fire an entire clip in a second, and completely bypass the bolt action reset timer.
