I enjoy playing OpenArena in the single player mode and I was wondering if it is possible to disable weapons like the rocket and grenade launchers? I had a google and found that you can disable certain weapons in one of the skirmish games (I think it is Elimination)  by using the settings in the .openarena/baseoa/q3config.cfg file:

seta elimination_rocket "0"
seta elimination_grenade "0"

Is there settings like this for the main single player game?

You can disable them (works in all versions of OpenArena and most mods):
Code:
seta disable_weapon_rocket 1
seta disable_weapon_grenade 1

In OpenArena 0.8.8 you can also replace them with another weapon like the shotgun:
Code:
seta replace_weapon_rocket weapon_shotgun
seta replace_weapon_grenade weapon_shotgun

This does not work for the gauntlet and the machinegun but only for pickups. It is not limited to weapons.

What about this:

Code:
seta g_elimination 0 // activate the elimination_* features in other gametypes

Doesn't it work anymore?

Thanks for replying sago007.

I played around with the settings and the following seems to have worked.

Code:
seta disable_weapon_rocketlauncher "1"
seta disable_weapon_grenadelauncher "1"

The game is a whole lot better now that you don't get randomly fragged by a random blast!!

Which mod is that? baseoa doesn't have this g_disable_someweapon feature.
It does! But the cvars are not registred, they are generated from the item names and will not autocomplete.

Yes, it works.

(DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Special_game_options#Elimination_features_outside_Elimination_mode
But that would not simply remove specified weapons pickups from the maps, it would remove all weapons pickups, and would also remove all health, armor, ammo boxes, powerups such as the quad damage...
It would apply various features from DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Elimination]Elimination gametype, but keeping the scoring type of the current gametype.
In that case, you can control each weapon's initial ammo load with the elimination_ variables.

replace_<ITEMNAME> was added in OAX r216 and is included in OpenArena. https://code.google.com/p/oax/source/detail?r=216

disable_<ITEMNAME> existed in Q3A. The code is placed in g_items.c

Code:
/*
============
G_ItemDisabled
============
*/
int G_ItemDisabled( gitem_t *item ) {

        char name[128];

        Com_sprintf(name, sizeof(name), "disable_%s", item->classname);
        return trap_Cvar_VariableIntegerValue( name );
}

There is no point at using both g_elimination and disable_weapon_rocketlauncher at the same time.
The change that comes with g_elimination 1 (removing ALL item pickups, while giving you weapons and ammo since your respawning) requires a map_restart to be effective. I don't know if the other one requires that, too, and I don't have time to test it right now.

While disable_weapon_rocketlauncher really does not exist before you create it (you have to use "set" or "seta" command to set it the first time - when you don't need it anymore, I suppose you can delete it using "unset"), g_elimination DOES exist, you do not need to create it with "set".

Note: some variables may look like not existing, or report the wrong "default value" (they may tell your current value is the default one, while it's not the default) if you check them using the cosole from the main menu before having entered at least a match after you launched OA. I don't know workarounds for this, except loading a map... I'm not sure if that affects dedicated server executables, too.

PS: is it possible that you typed "disable_weapon_rocket", as you wrote in the post, instead of "disable_weapon_rocketlauncher", as in AIM's list?

I'm not running oax, I'm using the regular openarena.
OpenArena 0.8.8 is based on OAX r280.

Yes, the OpenArena 0.8.8 source is from the oa-0.8.8 branch from OAX http://code.google.com/p/oax/source/browse/#svn%2Fbranches%2Foa-0.8.8
