Plutonium

How's it going. I noticed that after r1201 the compass or minimap has incorrect values after update which causes the minimap to be zoomed in and not show the minimap in it's correct representation.

This command should be able to be changed by the end user as it is not an illegal dvar. All other Quake 3 based cods IE: WaW, CoD4 etc allow you to natively change the values. The screenshots provided are enlarged for clarity.

This is how it looks in r1201 which is the incorrect value at 1400.

This is the correct value at 2500

The command needed is "compassMaxRange 2500" instead of "compassMaxRange 1400"

Thank you,

I own and operate the r/CoD4Promod subreddit, have worked for several eSport companies most of which are Team Fortress 2 related. (ESEA, Valve, UGC to name a few.) on projects that impact several gaming communities, and contributed to the CoD4 Promod project with testing and bug feedback.

Is there anything else you'd like to say / provide?

I have a very high understanding of the Quake 3 engine and IW engine fundamentals. I would be able to give accurate feedback when needed.

I looked into it a little further, the Steam API will read the minutes in terms of how long you have played currently at that time but doesn't actually add that amount of time to the total hour pool for whatever the reason while both on Mw3 MP and the Dedicated Server. If I figure out a solution I will let you know.

Snake said in Pluto IW5 not logging hours played on Steam:

Haha bro. I did a nice copy&paste from IW4x. No idea why it doesn't record, cause the code is the same

I was making an example hence why iw4x is noted. Hell i could of said CoD4x which uses the MW3 dedicated server as the Steam app ID. But it's interesting why it doesn't work.

Iw4x has those insane hours cause it thinks you are in game on mw2 24/7. I'm here if you need someone to test the API with if need be.

I noticed while playing IW5 after the update for Steam API implementation It doesn't record the amount of hours you play on steam. I have the original Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 (Non Dedicated Server) and it shows that i'm in MP in the Steam API but won't record hours played in game.

Is it a possible feature to have that happen similar to IW4X? Maybe that version of the game doesn't work for counting hours? I am unsure on what the solution is if there even is one. Either way it isn't a big deal but it would be nice to keep track of the amount of hours you played on Steam while in Pluto. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
