There are a few additional console commands and variables specific to EX, to make them easy to spot they call start with "ex_"

Contents

ex_autobalance

Used by server operators to balance the number of players on the teams. Set to 0 players get to pick their own team. Set to 1 players are automatically assigned to the team with least players and the team selection menu is skipped. The default setting is 0. During the initial release of the EX beta there was a lot of "stacking" on the marine team, this feature was adding in the first patch to compensate.

ex_awardmode

Used to determine how players earn reward points in combat. Set to 0 player receive points for each kill they make, regardless of how much actual damage they did. Set to 1 players receive points for doing damage, proportional to the health of the target. The default setting is 1. This feature was added to eliminate the annoyance of "kill stealing".

ex_bolter_rof

Modifier to the boltguns rate of fire. The default is 1.0. The maximum range, damage done and time between shots of the boltgun all get multiplied by this factor. A setting of 0.5 makes bolters fire twice as fast, at half range and half damage per shot. A setting of 2.0, makes bolters fire at double range, half as fast and double damage.

ex_capture_time

Duration in seconds of how long players have to hold USE on a ex_capture_objective to capoture that objective. The default is 5 seconds.

ex_hint

There is a set of client specific console variables starting ex_hint_ which all relate to the class specific hints that are displayed when a player spawns. ex_hint_Elite overrides all the others, when set to 1 all hints are suprressed, set it back to 0 to see hints as normal. The other ex_hint_ variables end with the name of a player class, thier value is the number of times the hint will be shown and goes down each time a hint is shown.

ex_log_enabled

Used to turn on EX specific logging. When set to 1 game play events are written to SourceMods/ex/exterminatus.log to aid development. The default setting is 0.

ex_leap_mode

Some classes (Assult Marines, Genstealers and Lictors) have the ability to make long leaps. Thist client command controls HOW a leap is trigger by you. The default setting is 0, which triggers a leap when Sprint AND Jump are pressed together. Some players reported an issue with the default behaviour and their controllers, so option 1 allows them to Leap by pressing Sprint OR Jump.

ex_obj

The objective icons in the HUD can con configured by player using a set of console variables starting ex_obj_ . ex_obj_show determines which objectives should be seen, it can have a have of 0,1 or 2. ex_obj_show 0 hides all objectives. ex_obj_show 1 shows all objectives and ex_obj_show 2 shows only your target objective. You can also configure the minimum and maximum size of the icons using the ex_obj_min_size and ex_obj_max_size console variables.

ex_protect_time

Duration in seconds of how long players are invulnerable after spawning. The default is 3 seconds.

ex_respawn_wave_length

Duration in seconds of how long the first dead player in a team has to wait to respawn. The default is 20 seconds. The higher this is set the more likely players are likely to spawn as a group.

ex_respawning_time

Duration in seconds of how long players get to spawn once their respawn wave length has expired (see above). The default is 3 seconds. Any players who are killed in this time instantly respawn.
