Hi I have recently uploaded the new Xplus to my server and am running the MrPants Excessive3 cfg.
The main problem I am having is that when I turn unlagged on, when the map changes the unlagged is turned off again. I am guessing that it does this because it is re-execing the MrPants config with each mapchange and the default unlagged setting in it is "0"
How can I edit my excessive3 cfg to make the xp_unlagged 1 stay?

Thanks in advance!

Can we get this fixed im not switching my NorthernFraggers server to this until i can run xp_unlagged 1. This is not right the command has to be somewhere else if this is the case. I hear it is better this time and am looking forward to this. Switching or renaming is not the point it should be right.

Like described in the manual some configurations are pure (static) and cannot be altered. This was made to ensure the settings and compatibility between servers.
You know if you make the 'excessive3.cfg' unlagged it's no longer Mr. Pants' Excessive v003 compatible.

Solution: Copy/rename the 'excessive3.cfg' to 'excessive3-unlagged.cfg' (or 'excessive5.cfg', 'yourname.cfg', whatever you prefer) and change the settings there.

Suggested changes are:
Unlagged: 1
Default Weapon: 0 // spawn with the last used weapon
Start Powerups: 0 // no quad on connect
Switch Time: -1 // instant weapon change

Put another way...

Ultimately the "problem" is that Mr. Pant's v.003 is unlagged disabled, so changing the settings means that they will not persist after the map change; after all, making 003 unlagged means that you are no longer playing 003. As suggested, simply take the existing 003 config, make the changes you want, give it a new special name (such as 003unlag.cfg), and have your server use that custom config by default.

Or you can just /callvote magnum.cfg and fix the other 174 problems with Excessive for free.
