FTEQW problem.

[TheGustlik102]

Hi.
I can't start playing on FTEQW, since it crashes everytime I shoot, and sometimes randomly after loading a map. Before crashing, a message pops up in the console saying "Too many arguments for macro ftetransform" . Also, all weapon models are black and all settings I change don't save. What shouldI'm using Windows XP Home.

And does anyone know how to bind keys for other players in splitscreen mode?

"Too many arguments for macro ftetransform" is your OpenGL drivers failing to compile glsl code. Update your drivers or use the d3d renderer instead.

the 'cfg_save' command will explicitly save all settings.

If splitscreen is active, there'll be an extra option in the binds menu to choose which player to bind for. Failing that, bind '+p2 attack' for the second player's +attack command, or 'p2 impulse 5' to select the super nail gun on the second player. If you enable rawinput, it'll automatically split input based on source devices (if you have multiple keyboard/mice).

Thanks a lot! Now I'm using D3D, and everything works fine. I don't need OpenGL graphics, so that's not a problem.

By the way, is it possible to change the other players' names in a splitscreen multiplayer game?

[Spike]

the gl renderer still has a little more eyecandy than the d3d renderer, but its all pure eyecandy that most people would switch off anyway (unless making a video, but whatever).

'p2 cmd setinfo name foobar' should change your 2nd player's name... but its not exactly userfriendly, as it needs to be done each time you connect to a new server.

The splitscreen on 1 keyboard works fine, but I've got problem with getting a set of 2 keyboards/mouses working. I typed in 'in_rawinput 1', 'in_rawinput keyboard 1' and 'in_restart', and both keyboards still control only one player. What should I do?
