SCTA FAQ
 
Frequently Asked Questions:
Why does my server keep changing to Free-For-All/Deathmatch mode?
If your server keeps falling back to FFA mode, even though your game type is set to something else, you need to change the line:

set sc_gametype 0

to read

set sc_gametype ""

in your scta/scq3a config file.

This is a bug in the currently-distributed configuration files.

Why isn't anything working?
The last release of SCTA (1.5) was before the 1.29/1.30 point release, where a certain setting on the command-line was not needed (Windows). This is no longer the case (ALL versions). You need to modify your startup batch/shell file to include


+set vm_game 0

or SCTA/SCQ3A will NOT load.
To verify that SCTA/SCQ3A is running, type


sc_version

in the console, and verify that it returns the current version you have installed. If it doesn't, it's not loaded.

How do I drop items in SCTA / SCQ3A?
If you want to drop an item (Powerup, Rune, Weapon, etc..etc..) then you need to bind your keys accordingly. Each item requires it's own bind! Here are a few examples.
To drop your current weapon: /bind w drop weapon
To drop your current weapon ammo: /bind a drop ammo
To drop your current rune: /bind p drop persistent
To drop your current holdable item: /bind h drop holdable
To drop the flag: /bind f drop flag

These are purely examples, you can bind your drop items to any key you want

What is the hologram?
The hologram is an item that was added with the SCTA mod for Team Arena. Holograms are exact copies of yourself, they mimic your every movement! They do not actually go anywhere, but act more as a decoy standing in place. In order to use a hologram, you can not be holding any other powerups (persistents, powerups or holdables)!
The current version of SCTA also offers explosive holograms! These holograms not only act as a diversion, but can also be used as a defensive tactic! Drop an explosive hologram and watch as someone tries to kill it.....then detonate it to give them a nice little explosive present! :)
So how do they work? Simply bind your keys as listed below.

To drop a hologram, /bind h holo
To drop an explosive hologram: /bind e holo explosive
To detonate an explosive hologra: /bind d holodet

In order to use an explosive hologram, you must have the rocket launcher and 10 rockets!(configurable server side)
