[metalmodman]

I'm working on a project for quake3 and I'm stuck I have no idea how to save/load variables to txt. can any one point me to a tutorial that might help me out? thanks

There is already code in the engine to read and write config.cfg; that might be suitable to what you're doing.

im tryng to make every player log in with a name and password so they can load their custom class. Think this would be alright with server cvars?

There's an fopen, a read, a write, and a close builtin/traps.

Ideally you'd have the config saved on the client, and have that transfered to their server of choice, assuming its a CuTF sort of mod. But if its a long-term rpg sort of mod then yeah, needs to be serverside.

just look in cg_syscalls.c or whatever its called for the server. It might give you some ideas.

Or yeah, just use the client's userinfo by setting the cvars to archived.
