So I was sick of that cvarlist at left4dead411.com and I made my own parseable cvarlist logger. I've attached a parsed excel file with all the Left 4 Dead cvars neatly arranged for my own convenience and the code to the logger. It saves it a log of all the cvars as milo.txt because I said so. The parse limiter is $, so I just did the Text To Columns thing in excel using $ as the limiter and there you go.


All thanks go to bl4nk for making his code so stealable



edit: I made a few changes to the plugin and also separated versus and campaign cvar values.

edit2: Uh, I accidentally listed the versus cvarlist twice. It's fine now.

You do know this is a open source community? right?

That's what people keep telling me.



BUT IT DOESN'T REMOVE THE GUILT

Nice, I was actually writing something that did exactly this.

It would be nice to add the flags to the output (at least the important ones like CHEAT).

Try:

flag="";
if(cmdflags&FCVAR_CHEAT){flag="cheat ";}
if(cmdflags&FCVAR_NOTIFY){StrCat(flag, sizeof(flag), "notify ");}
if(cmdflags&FCVAR_PLUGIN){StrCat(flag, sizeof(flag), "plugin ");} 
etc...
TrimString(flag);

(where 'cmdflags' is my variable, I think you call yours 'flags')

Well I put the flags you mentioned in there, but I'm afraid I'll have to be selective with them if I'm going to keep the excel file readable. I can put the rest of them in, but it would need to be exported to better database software to be useful.

Oh yeah, and if you're having NAME? problems in excel, that's because some of them start with - and +, which makes excel think they're numbers instead of text.

The solution to this is when you're doing the text to columns thing (btw, the quote specifier is ', not ", so change that too), when it comes time to determine what type of data the columns are, make sure the cvar column's type is 'Text', not 'General'. You can do that to the description column too if you want.

You're better off just making a CSV file. Works with excel for the people who want it, the rest of us can just view it as text.

I just happened to be working on the same thing the other day.

For what it's worth, the new cvars. Looks like, in particular, melee fatigue cvars are now present.

'z_gun_swing_vs_amt_penalty' 1 'z_gun_swing_vs_cooldown' 1 'z_gun_swing_vs_max_penalty' 6 'z_gun_swing_vs_min_penalty' 3 'z_gun_swing_vs_restore_time' 4
