Okay, seems like menu driven is a problem, I used menu driven for a while, and it didn't work right (didn't load the .kv file properly)

So I'm making a suggestion. Make it cvar driven, include a .cfg file.

Remove the menu
Remove the need for a kv file.

I've actually got my installation set up like this and it works perfectly.

Thats a linux dedicated using the public beta.
I cannot recreate the problem.

Look underneath the menu explanations for a link to cvar list.

Just add the cvars to server.cfg, i think that should work fine.

I know that c0ld, you showed me ;).

But what I'm saying is that it's starting to seem like that damn .kv file your menu system makes, just doesn't want to play nice, it seems extremely buggy. (like half my stuff got disabled when I moved over to that menu based system)

I added the cvars to
cfg/goremod/goremod.cfg

and
exec goremod/goremod.cfg
to my server.cfg

and it has the same effect as adding that to my server.cfg ;).

Bleeding is still enabled...
Rest is working fine - I like the HE Effects very much =)
I'm missing the HS-Skulls however.

- Added HS Gibs (Optional)

Question about the cvars:

Can those be set in the server.cfg file and just load up normally, or do you have to set them via menu?

Blood decals stay in the the level the whole time - only a mapchange is removing them again.... Not helping the performance

You can add the cvars to server.cfg I *think*, if its executed every map.
If not, itll work for the first map but change on map change.

The blood decals, ill take a look and see what I can do.
