Pure CTF - Player Manual

Since Zoid's first version of 3wave CTF there have been many different CTF mods out there. Some good and some not so good. Most had one thing in common though: You had to play with all new features, you couldn't just select the ones you want. I wanted a mod where you could select exactly what new features you wanted, and which ones you rather not use at all. I also wanted a solid competition mod that you could use to set up clanfights or practice games quickly and easily. Finally I wanted a mod that fixed all those small but annoying bugs that was left since the developement of 3wave CTF was discontinued. The result is Pure CTF.

With Pure CTF you got the choice. You can select any of the dozens of options, modes and clientpaks you want. You can use it as a competition server, arena server, clanarena server, even a DM server, and it supports the most popular CTF mod besides 3wave, Thunderwalker CTF. And you can combine any of the features making the possibilities endless.

Or you can play just plain, Pure CTF.

Player Settings(v1.51)

Add these settings to your config or type them in the console. New for v1.51 is that all settings is set with one setinfo variable, "pure", to prevent setinfo overflow. Add the values you want from the table and then add a line like this to your config:

An easy way to do small changes is to go to a Pure server and use the related commands or the menu to set the settings you want. After each change Pure will tell you the new value of the pure variable for your config.

NOTE: If you use some of the old variables (ad, as, etc), Pure will acknowledge them when you enter a server and tell you the correct new setting for "pure". After you have added it, remove the old ones. (Avoids trouble.)
