gl_wireframe and multiplayer Created 16 years ago2008-03-04 19:38:19 UTC by supafighta

I just recently started mapping again and I'm already running into problems:

I'm trying to use the gl_wireframe command in a multiplayer-only modification, but I keep on getting an error stating I cannot use it in multiplayer. I start a server, set sv_cheats to 1, set sv_lan to 1 or deathmatch to 1, restart and try typing in gl_wireframe 1 and it gives me the same error.

I remember getting it to work over a year ago, but I forgot how.

Also, I'm trying to get this to work so I can see if any brushes in my map are clipping each other.

I think that the error is trying to tell you that it doesn't work in multiplayer.

Open the map up in singleplayer mode and use the command there.

The modification I'm making the map for is multiplayer only, there is no singleplayer.

I remember getting it to work some time ago, but I can't remember how I got it to work.

If you open the map by typing "map mapname" in the console it should work.

If you're starting the map by "create server" button, then i think the gl_wireframe won't work.

Plus you probably already know, but you need to be in developer mode. Go into steam game list, and right click over the modname (or half-life if it's not it's own mod), go to properties, set launch options and add:

-dev

(this will put you into developer mode automatically)

You can also open the console and type "developer 1<enter>" but once again, not in a multiplayer game. = )

Thanks for the reply. I did everything you stated, but it looks like I'm going to have to ask on the modification's official forums since a bunch of mod related errors popped up when I loaded up the map through the console.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it.
