How to use In-game commands.

Post by Talon »

I am having a bit of trouble getting the in-game commands to work.
I currently play Giants over LAN and would like to get the pmarkers command working.
During game I hit "Y" then enter -pmarkers
I have also tried just using pmarkers but still no luck.
Thanks in advance

the commad is "pmarkers", it should work if you are in multiplayer mode. Do you have the 1.4 patch installed?

No, I am still a non-patched ver. I had to remove the 1.4 due to graphic being very distorted. ( poor reapers looked like there face was smashed with a skillet). If there is a fix for that I would reapply the 1.4 patch.

Did you try setting the model detail up from 'low' after applying the patch? :P

Installing 1.4 over 1.1 will always cause the model detail to go to low, as will reverting to 1.1 from 1.4. I don't think the pmarkers command works in the older versions anyways, so that's most likely your problem.

Doh, I feel like a noob. I got the GMM finally working, just had to doa full uninstall of everything, but works fine now.

On a side note thou, 1 comp seem to be haveing trouble with giants and the 1.4 patch.
it loads up fine, but once it gets to the option screen ( join,host, ect...) the game just shuts down and returns back to desktop.

the system in question is a intel 3 ( 935 mhz) proc.
512 ram
e-geforce fx 5200 card.
would this require a geforce patch? all drivers are up to date and is running direct x 9.

also dont know if this could be the problem. the comps that are working fine , the Giants CD are blue, the one giving me trouble is brown. ( not sure if that would be a different one or not since i got it off amazon.)
